From "Living" to scandal and Snoop, we're already familiar with "The Many Lives of Martha Stewart"
SalonIn the late ‘90s, when Martha Stewart was at the peak of her powers, submitting her to stress tests to find her flaws and vulnerabilities became a top hobby among reporters and other interviewers. That makes an uncharacteristically candid moment in the third episode of CNN’s “The Many Lives of Martha Stewart” one of the few truly illuminating glimpses into who she really is – not a monster, a diva or any of the other labels pressed onto her with the hot glue of public disdain. Provided you lived through several, if not all, of her various incarnations, “The Many Lives of Martha Stewart” isn’t going to tell you much you don’t already know or want to know. But “The Many Lives of Martha Stewart” includes enough of a praiseworthy viewpoint for the audience to recognize the double standard to which she was subjected in her public life. The Many Lives of Martha Stewart I appreciate the way Stewart uplifted the feminist value of homemakers, reminding the world that nobody is “just” a housewife.
