Lawrence, I think we all should realize that we have absolutely no idea who Jackie is as a person. The person behind her parents' and former labels' PR is a mystery, so we will find out how "compassionate, courageous and self determined" she is. No surprise. Most show biz folk are protected by flacks, at least while they are making enough money to hire them. Or until they decide bad behavior will get them more ink . How could a child and then an adolescent have appeared in public so often in so many situations and circumstances as Jackie has throughout her career and not have revealed some truth of her character, particularly under pressure as demonstrated on several occasions.? It would be absurd to presume she had created and developed a public persona to disguise a lack of such attributes as compassion or courage so apparent in her behavior and attitudes. Can you offer some evidence that she is not self-determined, but wholly directed or governed with no credit given to pursuing her own interests and aspirations as well as the interests of her family? I'm not so disbelieving. I think we all "have an idea of who Jackie is as a person" from personal observation and awareness through the years. David Foster in an interview with Jackie (I can't remember where it was): "Jackie, you're fearless"

David Foster dialogue with Jackie in the DWM/Interview 2011:
David: "...She has an amazing work ethic. She'll just work and work and work. It's just amazing, she never stops. She's like the little Energizer Bunny."
Jackie: "You have to work hard to get to the spot that you want to be. You always have to have confidence in yourself. No matter where you are or what the situation is, you have to give it your all."
What Jackie has achieved the past 8 years is testament to that "work ethic", an exercise of SELF-DETERMINATION in pursuing an aspiration that has led to the success of her "dream". Whether or not Jackie continues with the same tenacity as she ventures forth from today remains to be seen of course. But, that's more a matter of her choice or desire than a question of having or not having within her the capacity to accomplish whatever she puts her mind to.
