Ahead of the two-party documentary, her niece, Alex Finnie, opened up to several outlets about her aunt’s condition and what she hopes will come out of the film. During an appearance on Good Morning America, Alex revealed that she hopes Wendy will be able to return to TV – if that’s what her aunt wishes. “My hope for her is that she does whatever she wants to do that makes her happy… and that stays in the bounds of keeping her healthy,” Alex said. Amid the latest on Wendy, below are five things to know about her niece.
