She was the wife of an evangelist named Jim Bakker. Allow me to crib from Wiki:
On March 19, 1987, following threats of the revelation of the payoff to former secretary Jessica Hahn, whom Bakker's staff members had paid $265,000 to keep secret her allegation that he had raped her, Bakker resigned from PTL. Jerry Falwell called Bakker a liar, an embezzler, a sexual deviant, and "the greatest scab and cancer on the face of Christianity in 2,000 years of church history."
Financial irregularities in the PTL organization led to another scandal. From 1984 to 1987, Bakker and his PTL associates had sold "lifetime memberships" for $1,000 or more that entitled buyers to a three-night stay annually at a luxury hotel at Heritage USA. According to the prosecution at Bakker's later fraud trial, tens of thousands of memberships had been sold, but only one 500-room hotel was ever completed. Bakker sold more "exclusive" partnerships than could be accommodated, while raising more than twice the money needed to build the actual hotel. A good deal of the money went into Heritage USA's operating expenses, and Bakker kept $3,700,000 for himself. Bakker, who apparently made all of the financial decisions for the PTL organization, kept two sets of books to conceal the accounting irregularities. Reporters from the newspaper The Charlotte Observer, led by Charles Shepard, discovered and exposed the financial wrongdoings.
Bakker was indicted on federal charges of fraud, tax evasion, and racketeering. In 1989, after trial in Charlotte, Judge Robert Potter convicted Bakker of fraud and conspiring to commit fraud and sentenced him to 45 years in federal prison. Bakker's associate, Richard Dortch, senior vice-president of PTL and associate pastor of Heritage Village Church, also went to prison. In 1992, Bakker and his wife Tammy Faye were divorced at her request.
Suffice to say... it was a great day for all of us who are tired of people using magical Jesus powers to drain people's bank accounts. It proved that the church was, indeed, fallible. And this is all before Catholic priests were publicly busted for diddling little boys.

What bunksteve meant to say (and failed at) was that: she was the Jesus freak's version of Mimi from the Drew Carey show. She was painted up like a clown and ran a whacko Christian TV show for years on end. Then a few years ago God gave her cancer because he decided she was too extreme but she somehow made a deal with the devil and survived just long enough to do a season of The Surreal Life on VH1 with Vanilla Ice.
There's a more eluid-like explanation for you sir.

And that's why I'm only a contributing writer here at Eluid.
Although, I must say I'm surprised that the AP was able to find any pictures of her not crying.

bunksteve, while I appreciate the effort (or lack thereof, I mean you did use wiki for like the entire answer) I have to award this round to smurf because, well...it was a perfect answer to the question.
Keep trying and one day, you too can be smurfesque =/
