08. 22) at her California ranch following a 30-year battle with cancer aged 73 and now her niece Tottie Goldsmith has claimed that she did not fear death because of how much she had already achieved.
Tottie said: "She was really skinny and really unwell and I said to her, 'Are you afraid of dying?' She said, 'Plonker', which was my nickname, she said, 'I'm not, I'm not afraid, I've done more in my life than I could have ever imagined. ' She honestly never imagined her life would be how it was.
