Her vocal of "From This Moment On" in the CD is the best I've ever
heard her sing.

Lena is somewhat mysterious but every celebrity manages the info
they present to the public. In many cases I suspect it's because
there's nothing beneath the surface. Anti-social? I don't know her
so it isn't my issue. What I wish is that Lena had made movies later
in her life when she was singing at her best and was at her most
attractive...and sang "From This Moment On"!!!!!
