Even with all her success and money, the person she was in like 1973 was not much different than the person she was in 2022. Stevie, on the other hand, seemed to develop into kind of a different entity. more of 'a star' w an entourage etc...like Lindsey has said, sort of saw herself in capital letters.

Based on interviews, demeanor and overall attitude, I'd agree with you.
Bob Weston said otherwise in his q&a. He felt the Christine of the late 70s/early 80s was very different than the Christine he worked with in 1973. According to him, she used be "homely" and "content to be a musician." Later, she became someone who used her power in the industry "like a weapon."
I suppose from Weston's point of view the woman who used to make meals for everyone at Benifolds bore little resemblance to the California queen she'd become. But I still think, compared to others, Christine kept her core personality in tact.
