AUSTIN, Texas (AP) -- Former Gov. Ann Richards, the witty and flamboyant Democrat who went from homemaker to national political celebrity, died Wednesday night after a battle with cancer, a family spokeswoman said. She was 73.

She died at home surrounded by her family, the spokeswoman said.

Richards was found to have esophageal cancer in March and underwent chemotherapy treatments.

This is such a shame. She and Molly Ivins are two of my idols. Strong, intelligent, and not afraid to speak their minds. A couple of good ol' broads in my book.

RIP, Anne. :(
