Reverent - irreverent

Can someone explain the "...reverently portrays a celebrity who remained remarkably irreverent..." part?

Now she is the subject of a biographical film, “Amelia,” directed by Mira Nair, starring Hilary Swank, which reverently portrays a celebrity who remained remarkably irreverent and curiously humble.

But why do they call her irreverent? There isn't any proof in the text or elsewhere that she acted irreverently!
