there was an article I read once about a movie star-- I believe it was Marilyn Monroe-- where a friend of hers said it was amazing how she could not be recognized if she didn't want to, that somehow she could go out and not even disguise herself, just act like a normal person and people would pass right by her and then she could just flip a sort of switch, standing there in the same plain look, not a lot of makeup or anything, not all dressed up, but if she wanted to she could just somehow exude her "Marilyn-ness" -- nothing very overt, not saying much or acting to draw attention-- but there was a magnetism she could turn on and suddenly people would start to notice her.

I just wonder if Stevie truly didn't want to be noticed if she could go unnoticed. I don't know.

I also think she got spooked early on. Some of hte band's handlers, I know John Courage for one, was a bit stern with Stevie and Christine about going out while on the road and being really careful and bad things might happen and all that....
