The actress now turned evangelist known for playing unsavory roles said It wasn’t her decision to get married early.

In her words:” It wasn’t my decision . I was forced into it many years ago. I didn’t see any reason why my parents were forcing me, I was still young. Even at that age I had many suitors, they just wanted me to get married.

Sincerely speaking as a christian, I didn’t enjoy the marriage.”
