She admitted facing a moral dilemma: ‘If I save the world, no one will notice; in fact, they’ll just say, what was all the fuss about? But if I let the environment destruct, I can at least have the brief pleasure of saying I told you so – just before the cockroaches take over.’ Sadly, she would never get her chance, as soon after the interview, she choked to death on a piece of broccoli.
