Pop Star Whitney Houston Dies at 48
Her film career was equally successful and after making the films "Waiting To Exhale" in 1995 and "The Preacher's Wife" in 1996 - which gave her the occasion to make a gospel album - Houston returned to pop with "My Love Is Your Love" in 1998.
Meanwhile, she continued with drugs, which took a toll on her voice and by 2000s her voice became scratchier and less secure, and her performances grew erratic, reports New York Times.
Also, her marriage to the singer Bobby Brown turned out to be the worst decision of her life -- Houston told Winfrey that after initial passion died, it became a turbulent marriage, marred by drug use and by his professional jealousy, psychological abuse and physical confrontations.
It affected her singing and it was evident when in 2000s, her singles slipped from the top 10. Not only that, Houston became a favourite tabloid subject and even pubished pictures of her bathroom stocked with drugs.
Houston and Brown had a daughter, Bobbi Kristina, in 1993 and after a 14 year turbulent relationship in 2007, they divorced but by that time the damage had been done.
