[edit] Failed GA

I'm sorry, but this article is just not up to standards yet. The "Early Life" section must be expanded, the lead must be expanded, and there is no image in the infobox. The article is way too short, and even though there are tons of citations, there is not much information to her. — ObentoMusubi - Contributions 01:03, 10 January 2008 (UTC)
