Good for her!  She battled so long and hard to try to get control of her health, at least she had peace of mind that she'd have some control over her death.

When I read this, my initial response was "ouch, that's harsh."  But then I googled why she did:  she thought some former co-stars would show up not to pay their respects or to grieve, but to get publicity and to improve their image.  OK, fair enough.  If you get to decide who attends your kids' birthday parties, your wedding, and other milestones, then why not your funeral.  Doherty fought a very long and difficult battle with cancer.  Hopefully through her podcast she was able to help others fighting the disease.  R.I.P.
