[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]She is beautiful, smart, ruthless and savvy, but also soulless, without any humility, and zero genuine kindness. Very Connecticut 60's-80's. Awful. My DH was watching this and I had to leave the room. [/quote]

This. I was watching it thinking "who would admire this?" I would much rather be known for my kind soul, my humility, and kindness than be beautiful/smart/rich.[/quote]

I loved the documentary. I think it was fascinating, but part of the takeaway was that her great beauty + ruthlessness + demanding nature + work habits were the roots of her success: she got into Wall Street that way, didn't care about neglecting her family to launch her empire. She basically lacks all qualities that make a person admirable on a deep level, but superficially she is a really impressive success story. As for the trial, it was pretty crazy how her bff threw her under the bus on the stand. I looked it all up and apparently after the trial she said Martha possibly didn't even say those words, and she wrote a tell-all about their friendships. So if that's the best friend she had in the world...It's all very sad. [/quote]

The friend was pissed/offended that she got dragged into it. That was her main concern so I agree, not a particularly empathetic, loyal friend. But you know, Martha was no paragon of empathy so...perhaps a case of water seeking its own level?. Her millionaire/billionaire friends all had loyal hearts of gold? Doubtful. She learned a hard lesson the very hardest way... about people and character and friendship.[/quote]
