  Sister Wendy Beckett, TV art historian, dies at 88
  
  TV art historian and nun Sister Wendy Beckett has died at the age of 88, it has been announced.
  
  In the 1990s she became one of the most unlikely television stars.
  
  Emerging from her hermit-like existence in a caravan at a Carmelite convent in Norfolk, she hosted unscripted BBC shows from galleries across the world.

  Sad day.
  
  She was a really knowledgeable. When I listened to her I felt I was getting an education, which I sorely in need of.
  I would like to remind you that U.S. health insurance companies do not contribute anything to health care. They are only a PARASITIC middle man receiving an undeserved cut of "FREE MONEY".
