    You could say she came from rags and turned into riches. Even though she is rich and famous now, she faced lots of failures and took risks. At the age of eighteen she married Jimmy Deen and soon gave birth to her two sons, Jamie and Bobbie. She moved around a lot, because her husband often lost his job, and he soon left her as well.
