She polished her Joisy nasal tone until it was Connecticut lockjaw.
On top of that, she was attractive...and aggressive.
She covered the Connecticut tag sales market looking for overlooked and unwanted family heirlooms of great value.
She had an eye...and she would kill to get her grubby paws on the target of her affection.
She may be evil, but she is to be admired for her lethality.
She's a killer.
She also misses both by miles; to those of us who know what those accents REALLY sound like.
OTOH...she did do what you said and made herself a pile of money in the bargain.
OTOH...she is also a plagiarizer, a liar, a people user, and a VERY nasty/evil person, who treats her family, friends, and just about everyone else with contempt, distain,or worse.
Martha knows her stuff. Up from a working-class Polish family with, indeed, a killer style. Stock broker turned lifestyle guru who stole her husband’s name to increase her credibility with the phony, posh world of Manhattan.
Only a tough broad could survive what happened to her several years ago. I’ll never forget her standing on the courtroom steps - moments before she was being whisked to jail - asking people to buy stock in her company! I still remember Rush expressing admiration for her moxie.
Brilliant baker as well.
