 FOREWORD
   Whitney Houston, (born August 9, 1963, Newark, New Jersey,
USA - died February 11, 2012, Beverly Hills, California),
American singer and actress who was one of the best-selling music performers of the 1980s and ' 90.
   The reason I have chosen to write about her is pretty obvious; she was a very interesting and
talented singer. Whitney Houston's music icon has left a legacy that breaks down barriers that
continue to inspire singers who have come after her. After moving from modeling to music, Houston
aligned with a team that allowed her voice to grow around the globe. But it was her talent that carried
her.
   The first chapter is about her journey through life, the second chapter is dedicated to her activity as
a singer and actress, the third chapter deals with her puzzling death and the theories that surround it,
and the fourth chapter presents some information from the private life of the famous artist, which not
many knew.

    Chapter 1:
Life, family, and career beginnings
        Whitney Houston, (born August 9, 1963,
Newark, New Jersey, USA - died February 11,
2012, Beverly Hills, California), American singer
and actress who was one of the best-selling music
performers of the 1980s and ' 90. 
    At age eleven, Houston began performing as a
soloist in the junior gospel choir at the New Hope
Baptist Church in Newark, but at the height of her
career, Whitney Houston was the golden face of
the music industry. From the mid-1980s to the late
1990s, she was one of the best-selling artists. He
amazed the audience with his strong voice, with
chords rooted in gospel music, but with a pop
glow.

 Chapter 3:
Death under mysterious circumstances
 On February 11, Whitney Houston was found unconscious in Suite
434 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, submerged in the bathtub. Beverly
Hills paramedics arrived at approximately 3:30 p.m., found
Houston unresponsive, and performed CPR. Houston was
pronounced dead at 3:55 p.m. PST.  The cause of death was not
immediately known; local police said there were "no obvious signs
of criminal intent".
Los Angeles County Coroner's Office reported that Houston's
death was caused by drowning and the "effects of 
atherosclerotic heart disease and cocaine use".
The manner of death was listed as an "accident".
The autopsy report, which reached the press 8 years after the
artist's death, shows that she had lost 11 teeth and had almost no
eyebrows. Also, according to the same report, the heart disease he
suffered from was extremely serious, one of the arteries being
blocked in proportion of 60%.

 Chapter 4:
Scary secrets
Already after Houston's death, journalists learned
mysterious details from her biography that could explain her
behavior. As it turned out, Whitney liked women all her life,
but she was afraid of her speaking openly - she just didn't
want to upset her parents who were negatively related to
sexual minorities. Even as a teenager, the singer approached
Robin Crawford, who had long been her assistant.

According to rumors, Whitney Houston and her assistant Robin Crawford have not only
befriended.
There is a version that the artist always dreamed of being with his personal assistant and
married the scandalous Bobby Brown came out only for the sake of the cover of his true
novel. However, confirmation or denial of this information is unlikely to ever be obtained.

 CONCLUSIONS

Houston won a large number of prestigious awards, become one of the best successful
singers in history, her concerts collected entire stadiums of four from all over the world.
She lived a bohemian life and indulged in many harmful activities, such as drugs, but in
her work she promised morality and clearly had noble aspirations.
During the research for this paper I found out so many interesting aspects of this great
artist. It was a fascinating journey în which I discovered her life and work, with both
positive and negative aspects. Too bad that her star could not shine for more time. But her
music will alive on for ever.
