Whatever Happened to Helen Reddy Anyhow?

You may remember her hit song, "I Am Woman, Hear Me Roar!"  That line was followed by, "in numbers too big to ignore."

Yes, well, according to Wikipedia (Google was busy, apparently totting up the numbers of women bleating about their own sexual harassment) says that:

She was born in 1941, making her 76 as of October something.  Forgot to jot it down, but the date has passed anyhow. 

In 1961, age 20, she married a much older man in order to flee from her parents. The marriage ended  shortly thereafter and she became a single mom to their daughter Traci.

In 1968, she married producer Jeff Wold and they had a son named Jordan.  In 1981, Wold entered rehab after an eight year romance with cocaine, a romance that was costing $100,000 a year.  She decided to divorce him, but after a month, she had changed her mind and took him back.  In 1983, Wold went back to cocaine and they were divorced in January, 1983, and she married the drummer in her band in June, 1983.

Hear me roar.
