There have been reunions of the best models from the the 80's and 90s, including but no limiting to, Naomi Campbell, Cindy Crawford (my favorite), Linda Evangelista, Claudia Schiffer, and Christy Turlington. How come Paulina hasn't been in any? Because they have been for SUPER MODELS only.

As a gay man who used to work in the fashion business, I am in awe of how ignored she is. One of the major models ever existed, a woman of integrity, beauty, common sense and wise beyond measure. We need more women like her, especially us men. She teaches everyone to be open, vulnerable, smart, resilient and strong. A true beauty inside and out. It would be a dream to see her in an interview with Camille Paglia!

I don't understand the negative comments. Paulina shared her experience openly, without holding back. Can you not just respect that and let it go? Don't be so judgemental of a life you have never lived. She wasn't asking for any special treatment. Paulina was merely wearing her heart in her sleeve. Instead of expressing distaste for it maybe we should try to learn from it and be more respectful of the challenges of the opposite sex.

She ain't happy, if she was she wouldn't be on national television complaining about the will. Pauline is doing what all women do when they receive zero dollars in a will, complain to everyone. More men lose in divorce court than women, no one says shit about that. Women congratulate each other when they get a win in court, tell each other you deserved it all girl, you go girl, get all his money.... If her ex didn’t name her in the will, then there was a reason for that. You women stick up for each other with out knowing shit about the relation ship. For all you know Pauline could be the biggest bitch on the planet. But according to you she is a wonderful, powerful women.. You don't know her, but her ex did know her and he decided that she doesn’t deserve any of his wealth.If the shoe was on the other foot and Pauline died and left zero to her ex, you women would be saying, well he must have done something bad to her, so there for he deserve nothing and Pauline is so powerful she can do what she wants with her money..

She was serious about suicide. To me, when the interviewer asked if she planned it, Paulina rephrased, but what she said was even closer than planning. I feel empathy for her even though she leads an entirely more public and successful life, at least to how society in general looks at success. Remember folks, it's about comfort in life, and all of us have a chance at that. Many of us do anyway.

There's more going on to this story than meets the eye: When Ric divorced her on the grounds of "abandonment" it looks as if he meant it in the wider sense that she was going to spend most of his wealth on herself and leave the rest to her 2 children - and "abandon" Ric's other 4 children. Ric treated his previous wife Suzanne in the same cold way as he treated Paulina. Ric was consistent in the way he treated people, which should have served as a warning.

You choose to reject you husband you should understand and know.....clearly know the consequences.

What about the women that have had a really hard life and did not have a wonderful modeling career.

This goes to show that no matter how easy a woman has it in life she's never going to be happy.

There are multiple things going on with Paulina. Many of which I'm sure the public doesn't know, or even she may not know. She feels driven to make money. The book does that. She needed a hook, and aging is pretty much that. It must be tough getting old when you're her especially with all the good looks and fanfare she's had. I don't know if she's any more connected, but I'm sure a little more. I think it still be daunting for an average person to talk with her at length. She's a celebrity afterall.

In the same way she complained about being overseen. Those evil guys her age arent interested in women her age. But when she married up 20 years to her late husband, that didnt seem to be a priority.
