Tammy Faye BakkerWell, now she's simply Tammy Faye, after divorcing convicted felon Jim Bakker in 1992.
Faye was a guest by phone on "Larry King Live" in December and said she was receiving hospice care in her home. Her son, Jay, revealed that his mother's weight was down to 68 pounds. Most recently, last month, she posted a letter on her web site that briefly discusses her current state.
In 2005, she appeared in an infomercial for controversial medicinal advice author Kevin Trudeau, an appearance she later admitted she regretted.
In 2004, she appeared on the reality show "The Surreal Life" with porn star Ron Jeremy, rapper Vanilla Ice and "CHIPs" actor Erik Estrada.
Faye, 65, is best known for being the wife of disgraced televangelist Bakker. Heavy mascara and false eyelashes were her trademark.
She kind of looks like Betty Davis in Who's Afraid of Baby Jane. Creepy.
