Ivana Trump has died at 73

Folks, we have a tradition here of not speaking ill of the dead for the first 48 hours after their death. In this case, I am extending this prohibition to include negative comments about the deceased's ex-husband and children. They are not the subject of the thread in any case. Finally, the amateur detectives among us can also take a couple of days off.

+1,000. Thanks Jeff! Some of the comments on this thread were absolutely unbelievable in their disrespect. Glad to see this sensible policy being enforced.

She was actually very involved in running businesses and spoke about how Donald resented that. I like that she didn’t settle for being a trophy wife but was driven. She also was pretty fierce during the divorce and I’m sure that took courage. I don’t believe many women have stood up to Trump the way she did.

Actually they remained great friends and admired each other greatly up until her very sad passing. Some of the tabloid fodder of the 1990s was exactly that, and both she and DJT were master and absolute genius publicists who knew how valuable it was to their businesses. A truly wonderful lady, and of course a glamorous fashion icon for decades. A sad day.

I wouldn’t wish for anyone to find out their mom died due to a wellness check after a potential fall inside their home. I truly feel sorry for Eric Trump having to go to the house today after being contacted. I’m as anti-Trump as everything permits but Ivana did have a moxie, and this is sad.

Ivana’s mother is still alive. Poor lady.

As much as I dislike the family, I think she was an incredible woman. Smart, a good mother, and so much personality.

This is very sad. I don't care one way or another about her, but is a very sad way to die.

Curious: how was she a good mother? Would love to learn more to appreciate.

I was surprised by how frail she looked in recent pictures. She was always leaning on an aide’s arm. She shouldn’t have been alone in her house.

All three of her children are highly, highly dynamic and successful individuals, just like her. So she definitely did something right! Wonderful lady.

Exactly. Even CNN is glorifying Ivana Trump this evening for her many accomplishments.

Yep and Michael Jackson’s family too.

“But only one visitor could come over any time – and he happened to be a global superstar. “The only person who had an open invitation to come to the triplex for play dates whenever he wanted was Michael Jackson,” she said. Ivana added that she never believed allegations of child sexual abuse against Jackson – who lived in Trump Tower at the time.”

Seventy-three is really very young. I feel very badly for her children and grandchildren, having lost my own mother last year. Rest in peace.

I loved her commercials post divorce "Dont get mad, get everything!"

I forget the product.
