It is not entirely clear that she is "important," although certainly she was popular and had millions of fans while she lived. From the mid 1980s through the early 1990s, she had a number of major hit records, including one song that remained number one for an amazing thirteen weeks ("I Will Always Love You"). She also was in several popular movies, including "The Bodyguard." Sadly, she died young, as a result of her addictions to drugs and alcohol, and her death does send an important message-- being rich and being a celebrity doesn't guarantee happiness.

Yes, Whitney Houston's publicist confirmed that she was found dead on February 11, 2012 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills CA, at the age of 48. The cause of her death was not immediately known (and would not be known for at least six weeks), but she had a long history of problems with drugs and alcohol. Investigators said she was discovered unconscious in the bathtub of her hotel room.

On February 18, 2012, a funeral service was held for her at the New Hope Baptist Church in Newark, New Jersey. Houston is buried at Fairview Cemetery in Westfield, New Jersey, in a plot next to her late father. And on March 22, 2012, the official autopsy and toxicology results were made public: according to the Los Angeles County Coroner, the causes of Whitney Houston's death were drowning and the "effects of atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use."

Whitney Houston won 415 awards over her life time. See the related link for more information.

It does not appear that Whitney Houston deliberately killed herself, but like too many celebrities, she did indulge in recreational drug use which was harmful to both her physical and mental health. Drug abuse of this type is often fatal.

No, she did not. In 2000, while at an airport, she was found with marijuana in her luggage and arrested. But she accepted a plea bargain, submitted to drug testing to prove she was no longer using, and never served any jail time.

Whitney was a humanitarian because her recording of the Star Spangled Banner, the best and highest selling copy of our national anthem ever, donated the proceeds to the Red Cross. Later she did subsequent concerts for Desert Storm veterans and donated all those proceed to the Veteran's fund.

Whitney also donated various amounts of money to scholarships for young people.

Elizabeth Taylor did indeed have children. She had two sons- Michael and Christopher- from her second marriage to Michael Wilding, a daughter- Liza- from third husband Mike Todd, and an adopted daughter-Maria- from her fifth/sixth marriage to Richard Burton. Taylor really wasn't known for her role as a mother, with her being married 8 times and whatnot, but she loved her kids very much and did what she could to protect them from the spotlight.

Whitney Houston was married to Bobby Brown until their divorce in 2007.

Whitney Houston had one daughter, Bobbi Kristina Houston Brown.

She had 3-- one son from her first marriage (Gary), and a son and daughter (Michael and Whitney) from her second. Sadly, only two of her children are still alive, now that Whitney is deceased.

She attended, and graduated from, Mount Saint Dominic, an all-girls Catholic school in Caldwell NJ. Her graduation was in 1982.

Hmm, well she has been considered the "Female Version of MJ". But frankly, Selena is in her own category of famous. She left a bigger legacy, because her death wasn't expected. She died younger, than MJ.

While it was commonly believed that she was introduced to drugs by her husband Bobby Brown, Whitney's family has now said that was not accurate. After she died, they told several magazines that Whitney had already been experimenting with drugs when she met Bobby. Since he too was a drug user, he made a bad situation much worse. The two had a very tempestuous relationship and he seemed to bring out the worst in her, and her drug use increased during their marriage.

She graduated from high school (Mount Saint Dominic Academy), in Caldwell, New Jersey. While several internet sources say she went to college, there is no evidence to support that claim. The confusion may be because her high school shares a campus with Caldwell College. But most sources say that she began her music career right after high school.

People liked Whitney Houston because she had a very impressive voice, and her songs included a number of big hits. She was also very generous, and before she became immersed in struggles with addiction, she was known for her willingness to help certain charities. She also was very helpful to people in her hometown of Newark NJ.

No, Whitney Houston only has one child born to her and her ex-husband, singer Bobby Brown, a daughter named Bobbi Kristina. Some reports have said that she took in a boy and mentored him for a few years, and he came to regard her as a mom, but there was not any official adoption.

Whitney Houston never had any sons. It is a common internet myth that she "adopted" Nick Gordon, but that was never formalized, and by most accounts, she served mainly as a mentor and guardian. But Whitney Houston only had one child-- a daughter, Bobbi Kristina, during her marriage to Bobby Brown.

It has sold 2,600,00 copies world wide. It went platinum in 7 countries, and gold in 8. It debuted in the United States at #1 with opening week sales of over 500,00 and became Whitney's 4th chart topping album, extending her lead among female performers. Bizarrely, although this album outsold most of the albums of the last couple of years, there are people who consider it a flop because it did not produce at hit top 10 single. Clearly, it was a success.

Nobody made her do it; she experimented with them herself, and then began dating a man (Bobby Brown) who contributed to her using them even more heavily. It is doubtful that she ever thought she would become addicted, but that is exactly what happened.
