She received so much bad press on some sites I've read (e.g., the World Socialist Website) that she is characterized as a corporatist villainess. This interview forces me to reconsider those characterizations.

Since this is a political forum, I don't post the singers or actors - but I thought that folks here might be interested in what she had to say and this was a really good interview. Thanks!
