...made her own happy ending, before she died in Rochester in 1985, at 78. She had cultivated her legend, finding new adherents who treated her with the kind of awe she hadn't been granted in decades, and then only in bedrooms. But I'll give Lulu-Louise a tragic-happy ending. At the climax of the 1930 Prix de beaut?, she is a movie star sitting in a screening room about to watch the rushes of her big song.

Rachel Corrie deserves to be remembered as another tragic casualty in a war that has consumed so many lives, not as the idealized heroic freedom fighter that “My Name is Rachel Corrie” presents her to be. It is only when those on both sides of the conflict can shed this kind of misplaced idealization that a true peace settlement will be possible...
