Her mother had been a track and field athlete in her youth. <mask> took up cross country running at high school at age 14 and the coach suggested she try out for the indoor track team. It was a highly successful transition as she won a 400-meter dash and 800-meter run double at the Maryland state high school championship in 1992 then went on to take three consecutive sprint sweeps in the 100-meter dash, 200-meter dash and 400-meter dash from 1993 to 1995. At national level, she won 400 m at the National Scholastic Indoor Championships in 1994 and 1995. By the time she finished her high school career she had a best of 52.77 seconds for the 400 m.

She achieved a personal record of 50.95 seconds in the NCAA Outdoor Championships final, edged out by LaTarsha Stroman. She retained the relay title for the Texas Longhorns that year. In her last two years of college competition she went undefeated with back-to-back wins in the 400 m indoors and outdoors at the NCAA meet. She also helped the Longhorns to four straight NCAA 4 × 400 m relay titles from 1996 to 1999.For her collegiate career, she was given the Honda Broderick Award (now the Honda Sports Award)  as the female track and field athlete of the year in 1999.

<mask> (July 29, 1907 – July 9, 1996) was a prominent United States lawyer, author, and actor known as "The King of Torts" and by insurance companies as "<mask>icose". He had many celebrity clients, including Zsa Zsa Gabor, Errol Flynn, Chuck Berry, Muhammad Ali, The Rolling Stones, Jim Bakker and Tammy Faye Bakker, Martha Mitchell, Maureen Connolly, Lana Turner, Tony Curtis, and Mae West. During his legal career, he won over $600 million in damages for his clients. He was also the attorney for Jack Ruby, who shot Lee Harvey Oswald for the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. Early life
<mask> was born in the California Gold Rush town of Sonora, California in the Sierra Nevada foothills. His parents were of Italian ancestry from Switzerland. His grandmother, Anna Mouron, was the first female pharmacist in California.By the 1920s, the family had moved to the Central Valley city of Stockton, California, where Belli attended the now-defunct Stockton High School. Belli graduated from the University of California, Berkeley in 1929. After traveling around the world, he returned to Berkeley and received his law degree from the institution in 1933. Career
Following his admission to the California bar, his first job was posing as a hobo for the Works Progress Administration and riding the rails to observe the Depression's impact on the country's vagrant population. His first major legal victory came shortly after graduation, in a personal injury lawsuit representing an injured cable car gripman. Over insurance lawyers' objections, Belli brought a model of a cable car intersection, and the gear box and chain involved in the accident, to demonstrate to jurors exactly what had happened. Besides his personal injury cases, which earned for him his byname "King of Torts," Belli was instrumental in setting up some of the foundations of modern consumer rights law, arguing several cases in the 1940s and 1950s that formed the basis for later lawsuits and landmark litigation by such figures as Ralph Nader.Belli argued (in cases such as Escola v. Coca-Cola Bottling Co., in 1944, which arose from an incident in which a restaurant waitress from Merced, California was injured by an exploding Coca-Cola bottle) that all products have an implied warranty, that it is to be foreseen that products will be used by a long chain of people, not just the direct recipient of the manufactured product, and that negligence by a defendant need not be proven if the defendant's product is defective. In his book Ready for the Plaintiff, Belli noted examples of negligence cited by himself and other personal-injury lawyers to win in court—for example, a colleague in Florida, who showed how a builder violated a building code in Miami Beach concerning the use of wooden shims in construction of outside walls (forbidden by the municipal code because of the effect of the ocean salt and air). The facing was a slab of vitreous marble, whose adhesion was weakened by the climate; it fell off the side of the building and injured a passerby, who sued the builder. After winning a court case, Belli would raise a Jolly Roger flag over his office building in the Barbary Coast district of San Francisco (which Belli claimed had been a Gold Rush-era brothel) and fire a cannon, mounted on his office roof, to announce the victory and the impending party. In his best-known case, Belli represented Jack Ruby, for free, after Ruby shot and killed Lee Harvey Oswald. Belli attempted to prove that Ruby was legally insane and had a history of mental illness in his family. On Saturday, March 14, 1964, Ruby was convicted of "murder with malice", and received a death sentence.Immediately thereafter, Ruby and his siblings fired <mask> as they also hired and fired several other lawyers during the case. In late 1966, Ruby's conviction was overturned with help from other defense lawyers on the grounds that he did not receive a fair trial and a retrial was scheduled outside of Dallas, but Ruby died of cancer before the retrial could take place. Belli became very critical of FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover. In 1969 a man called San Francisco police, identifying himself as the serial killer known only as The Zodiac, and agreed to call talk show host Jim Dunbar on Dunbar's morning television talk show A.M. San Francisco if either Belli or attorney F. Lee Bailey were present on air. The police contacted <mask> and Dunbar to arrange this in the hopes of capturing the individual. As promised, the suspect called, spoke a few words, and then hung up, repeating this activity 54 times over the next two hours. Belli received a letter from the Zodiac that same year.<mask>'s firm filed for bankruptcy protection in December 1995. Belli was representing 800 women in a class action lawsuit against breast implant manufacturer Dow Corning. Belli won the lawsuit, but when Dow Corning declared bankruptcy, Belli had no way to recover the $5 million his firm had advanced to doctors and expert witnesses. In the 1960s, Belli was among the leading members of the California plaintiffs bar who helped establish the California Trial Lawyers Association, which in the mid-1990s was renamed the Consumer Attorneys of California. The organization was established to help set standards and foment on-going legal education to help consumers have a better chance in court against the powerful legal teams amassed by the insurance companies and big corporations that typically were the defendants in accident, personal injury and other consumer lawsuits. In media
Belli executive produced Tokyo File 212 (1951), Hollywood's first film to be shot entirely in Japan. It featured Florence Marly and Robert Peyton in key roles.Belli enjoyed his frequent television and movie appearances; in 1965, he told Alex Haley, interviewing him for Playboy, that he "might have been an actor" if he had not become an attorney. Belli appeared in "And the Children Shall Lead", a 1968  episode of the original Star Trek series. In it he appears as "Gorgan, the Friendly Angel", an evil being who corrupts a group of children, one of whom was played by his son Caesar. He appeared in the Albert and David Maysles documentary Gimme Shelter (1970), which featured his representation and facilitation of The Rolling Stones' staging of the disastrous December 6, 1969, Altamont Free Concert. In 1986 he played a criminal defense lawyer in an episode of the TV series Hunter titled "True Confessions". In 1996 Belli recited the oratory to David Woodard's brass fanfare setting of Mark Twain's "The War Prayer" at Old First Church in San Francisco. Belli was played by Brian Cox in the 2007 film Zodiac in the scene that depicted Belli's conversation with the Zodiac suspect on A.M. San Francisco.Author
<mask> was the author of several books, including the six-volume Modern Trials (written between 1954 and 1960) which has become a classic textbook on the demonstrative method of presenting evidence. <mask>'s unprecedented — and some thought undignified  — use of graphic evidence and expert witnesses later became common courtroom practice. His autobiography My Life on Trial is an account of his life and the noteworthy events he was involved in during his career. He also wrote the introduction to 847.0 The Whiplash Injury by L. Ted Frigard, D.C. published in 1970. Dr. Frigard had helped <mask> with his pain through chiropractic care. Personal life
<mask> was married six times and divorced five. His marriage to his fifth wife, the former Lia Georgia Triff, ended with a scandalous and acrimonious divorce proceeding in 1991.Belli accused his ex-wife of having an affair with archbishop Desmond Tutu and of throwing one of his dogs off the Golden Gate Bridge. He was fined $1,000 for repeatedly calling her "El Trampo". At one point, Belli was ejected from the courtroom after accusing the judge of sleeping with his former wife's lawyer. He was ultimately compelled to pay her an estimated $15 million. She later married self-styled Romanian prince Prince Paul of Romania. <mask> married his sixth wife, Nancy Ho, on March 29, 1996. His youngest child, Melia, from fifth wife Lia, became an art history scholar, and is currently an assistant professor of Asian art history at the University of Texas at Arlington.Death
Belli died of complications from pancreatic cancer at his home in San Francisco on July 9, 1996, aged 88. His death came suddenly, and in the presence of his wife Nancy. The New York Times''' quoted his publicist Edward Lozzi: "He was sitting; he just stopped breathing". At the time of his death, he had three sons, three daughters, twelve grandchildren, and two dogs. He is buried in Odd Fellows Cemetery in Sonora, California, his birthplace. Bibliography

<mask> () (1 February 1957 – 2 February 2018),  was a Russian linguist and anthropologist. She worked at the Institute for Linguistic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, and later at Saint Petersburg State University, where she attained the rank of Docent (Associate professor). <mask> is most known for her work on Udege and Oroch languages, as well as on a number of other Tungusic languages and Balkan languages. She is the author of the most significant vocabulary of Udege, published in Russia, as well as other important studies and reference sources of Udege, Oroch and Balkan languages. Early life and education
<mask> was born in Weimar, which was then a city in East Germany (DDR), where her family was, probably, stationed at this time, working with the Soviet military. Later family moved to Saint Petersburg, and Girfanova started her undergraduate studies at the Department of General Linguistics (Faculty of Philology) at the Saint Petersburg State University. She majored in Albanian philology at the chair of Albanian language and literature, established at 1957 by initiative of Agnia Vasilevna Desnickaja.<mask> Girfanova formed as a philologist and albanologist under the guidance of professors A. V. Desnickaja, G. I. Entrej, I. I. Voronina, etc. She graduated from the Saint Petersburg State University, majoring in Albanian, in 1981. However, she did not continue studies in Albanian, but joined Department of Altaic languages at the Leningrad Branch of the Institute for Linguistic Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences, in Saint Petersburg (at that time, Leningrad), and devoted herself to study of Tungusic languages and cultures of Tungusic peoples. Academic career

Writing and research

Fellowship at Institute for Linguistic Studies (1981–1983)
Immediately upon graduation from Saint Petersburg State University Girfanova obtained a fellow position as a junior researcher (стажер-исследователь) at the department of Altaic languages at the Institute for Linguistics Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences (in years 1952 – 1991: the Leningrad branch of Institute of Linguistics of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR). She majored in Albanian at college, but switched to studying Tungusic languages, primarily Udege and Oroch. At the same time, she continued studying Turkish and Albanian, modern Greek – in time being, she became a veritable polyglot. Post-graduate studies at Institute for Linguistic Studies (1983–1986)
After three years as a junior researcher, Girfanova secures a post-graduate position in her department.In the Soviet Academy's context at that time, successful graduation from this position practically guaranteed a life-time tenure with the institution; therefore, obtaining such position in the humanities at that time was considered a career success. Girfanova publishes several articles on Udege language. Upon graduation from her post-graduate studies, she is promoted to research fellow position at the same department. Research at Institute for Linguistic Studies (1986–2003)
It took another two years for Girfanova to write and defend her Candidate of Science Dissertation (equivalent of PhD. thesis), entitled "Indicative Verb Forms in Udege Language", in 1988. The pinnacle of her studies of Udege language becomes the most significant "Vocabulary of Udege Language", published in Russia. Lexicographic studies
Girfanova has invested considerable time into lexicography of Udege and Oroch languages.She will be mostly known as the author of the best "Vocabulary of Udege Language". It is not the first and only vocabulary of Udege language, but, according to the review by A. A. Byrykin, it is the most linguistically solid vocabulary of Udege. Her lexicographic and etymological studies were not limited to Tungusic languages. She studied cross-linguistic connections of Balkan toponyms, etc. She was working on a project of a dictionary of Turkic terminology in the languages of Southeast Europe. Grammar and Syntax studies
Alongside time-consuming lexicographic work, Girfanova continued grammatical and syntactic studies of Tungusic languages, and devoted some time to the history of studying of these languages.Anthropology studies
<mask>'s interest to Tungusic peoples was not limited by language studies. She conducted folkloristic and ethnographic studies (marriage rites, kinship terminology), including study of shamanism,. Girfanova was a member of International Society for Shamanistic Research. Teaching and lecturing

Department of General Linguistics, Saint Petersburg State University
While in the Soviet Union position of a researcher at an institute of the Academy of Sciences used to be a life-time tenure position, there was no job security in the new Russia, and financing of the Academy decreased dramatically. In 2003, changes happened at Institute for Linguistic Studies, the Altaic department effectively stopped to exist, and <mask> was let go. That was, in her own words in 2005, a painful crisis of her academic career: "two years ago the author, the only specialist in Udege language in the country, was fired from the Altaic department of ILI of RAS living out the rest of its days, abandoned by researchers and later abolished, in spite of the position of a scientific researcher successfully acquired three months before the department’s abolishment (I am the author of the only thesis of C. Sc. devoted to Udege language, written and defended in this country, 70 publications, including 5 monographs on the mentioned above Udege language)".Fortunately, she was immediately hired by her alma mater, Saint Petersburg State University, as an associate professor (docent). Unfortunately, she had to revert to teaching Albanian and Turkish languages, which considerably diminished time for academic research and publications. Courses and lectures

Educator, Cultural Ambassador and Linguistic Activist
<mask> did not only teach Tungisic and Balkan languages, she is also an author of popular books, presenting Udege and Albanian cultures to the world, so she was honoured by an obituary from Albanian Embassy in Russia - it is not something that done for a regular language professor. Beside being an academic scholar, she gave full assistance to the educational system in Russia, to educate students in Tungusic languages, publishing a few textbooks for elementary school. She was really concerned about well-being of endangered Tungusic languages, and was socially active to help them to survive. As Oliver Corff mentioned in his obituary for Girfanova, "Her critical understanding of the intentions and outcomes of Russia’s minority policies allowed her to come forward with substantial suggestions for improvements acknowledged by politicians. In autumn 2017 she was invited by the Department of Interior Politics of Primorsky Krai as moderator for a course on the revival of the Udege language in the framework of a larger nationality policy programme from 2018 to 2020.Pavel Yasevich, Director of the Department, lauds her as the foremost authority on Udege and Oroch languages in Russia." Death
<mask> died on February 2, 2018, the day after her 61st birthday. Citations

<mask> (March 29, 1858 – September 27, 1938) was an American architect. He was the premier school architect in Western Washington state in the early 1900s. Originally working with wood frame buildings, around 1908 he brought more modern and fire-resistive designs to the Seattle area. He, and later with his son, was responsible for the design of at least fifty schools in Washington as well as many other kinds of buildings. At least three of the schools are listed on the National Register of Historic Places. Early life
<mask> was born in Ontario, Canada in 1858 to Alexander and <mask>, both Scottish immigrants. He moved to Detroit, Michigan in 1864 at age six.His father was a skilled cabinetmaker and  <mask> trained to be one too. He also learned to make pipe organs. He learned the skills of an architect through a correspondence course and began practice in that field in Hyde Park, Illinois from 1885 to 1887. He later moved to Pasadena, California where he practiced 1887–89, and then on to Washington when there was great need for architects during rebuilding after the Great Seattle Fire of 1889. He practiced in Seattle alone from 1889 to 1893 and then partnered with Timotheus Josenhans for a short time (1894–97) when the team designed buildings on the Washington Agricultural College campus (now Washington State University). During the recession of the mid to late 90s, <mask> returned to cabinetmaking and found work with the Moran Shipyards in Seattle and Alaska. Seattle schools
In 1899, he was hired by the Seattle School District to design several schools and his plan was adopted as a "Model School Plan" for subsequent elementary schools built by the district.He became the official school architect from 1901 to 1909 where he designed and supervised the construction of fifty Seattle school buildings. His early designs used economical and flexible wood frames that easily allowed for phased development and expansion. An eight-, twelve-, or 20-room school could be constructed from the model. The schools used standard floor plans and interior finishes but the exteriors varied greatly from school to school as <mask> used his cabinetmaker skills to design different wood detailing of the exterior elevations. Around the time his eldest son Frederick graduated as an architect from the University of Pennsylvania, <mask> traveled to the mid-west and New York to study newer trends in school construction. In 1908, the two started a partnership (<mask> and <mask>) and, probably influenced by what he had seen on the trip as well as his son's training, began to design schools with fireproof materials. They used concrete, brick, and terra cotta and included modern features such as state-of-the-art lavatories, intercoms, and clock systems.His specifications for heating systems were particularly noteworthy. A report on the benefits of modern designs led for a second Model School Plan being adopted by the district. These masonry structures were designed in the then-popular Gothic revival and Jacobean style. <mask> resigned from the school district in 1909 after having designed schools that cost in aggregate $1.5 million (). His head draftsman was hired by the district to replace him as chief architect. Other work
Simultaneously to his position as Seattle school architect, he continued in his private practice designing residential, religious, and commercial structures, including the original portion of the downtown Seattle YMCA building. Schools of his design were built in Redmond, Hoquiam, Renton, Auburn, Olympia, Everett, Kirkland, and Bremerton.Schools produced after his son joined the practice can be found in Edmonds, Wenatchee, Cashmere, Richmond Beach, Vancouver, Ellensburg, Kirkland, Cle Elum, Chehalis, Fall City, and Port Townsend. He became a member of the American Institute of Architects in 1902 and was president of the Washington chapter in 1907-08 as well as a delegate to the national convention in Chicago in 1907. In 1910, he ran for a position on the Seattle city council and was endorsed by The Seattle Star. In 1912, he ran for a position on the Seattle school board. A decade after he left the employ of the school district, he became a vocal critic of the school building program claiming it was extravagant and wasteful. He cited the construction of the Roosevelt High School which was estimated to cost $1.25 million (), nearly equal to the combined cost of the four newest Seattle high schools. In 1921, he said this extravagance was typical of schools designed in the prior four years.Personal
<mask> married Ida Mary Rowan (Oct 1858-February 2, 1953), a native of Missouri in 1882. They had four sons - Frederick B. (born February 1883 in Illinois), Walter M (born September 1884 in Illinois), Chester R (born March 1887 in Illinois), and <mask> (born March 1893 in Seattle). Frederick was the only son to become an architect; Chester was an electrician while <mask> was an orchardist in Leavenworth, Washington,

<mask> retired from the practice in 1923 or 1928 and died in Seattle on September 27, 1938  after a ten-year illness. Projects

<mask>, 4th Duke of Newcastle-under-Lyne  (31 January 1785 – 12 January 1851) was a British nobleman and politician who played a leading part in British politics in the late 1820s and early 1830s. He was styled Lord Clinton from birth until 1794 and Earl of Lincoln between 1794 and 1795. Early life
Pelham-Clinton was the eldest son of Thomas Pelham-Clinton, 3rd Duke of Newcastle-under-Lyne, and his wife Lady Anna Maria (née Stanhope), and was educated at Eton College. His father died when he was ten years old. In 1803, encouraged by the Peace of Amiens which provided a break in hostilities with France, his mother and stepfather took him on a European Tour. Unfortunately, war broke out once again, and the young duke was detained at Tours in 1803, where he remained until 1806. Career
On his return to England in 1807, Pelham-Clinton embarked upon life with many personal advantages, and with a considerable fortune.He married at Lambeth, 18 July 1807, a great heiress, Georgiana Elizabeth, daughter of Edward Miller Mundy of Shipley, Derbyshire. He served as Lord Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire from 1809 to 1839 and was also Steward of Sherwood Forest and of Folewood Park. In 1812 he was made a Knight of the Garter. Opposition to Catholic Emancipation
On 22 March 1821, <mask> published a pamphlet in the form of a letter to Lord Liverpool, protesting against a Bill for Catholic Emancipation. <mask> argued that if his government supported Emancipation they would be doing the country an injustice for two main reasons. Firstly, the attention of the nation was preoccupied with domestic problems and little interested in the question, so to pass Emancipation now would be a betrayal. Secondly, the government could not be neutral on this question because if the Bill passed Parliament, the King would have to refuse Royal Assent as it would be in breach of his promise, made in the Coronation Oath, to uphold the Protestant constitution.If the King were to do this without the advice of his ministers then it would be unconstitutional since the King could only act on the advice of his ministers. Thereby the government should adopt a position on the question, and this position should of necessity be opposed to Emancipation. He did not hold any national office but he was extremely active in politics. From about 1826 he became one of the leaders of the so-called "Ultra-Tory" faction, staunchly supporting the traditional establishment of Church, Country and State. He rejected the label of Tory, however. On 13 March 1827, <mask> told Lord Colchester that he wanted to form a group to support the King in forming a government opposed to Emancipation with the aid of Lords Mansfield, Salisbury and Falmouth, and that he could win the support of about 60 peers. On 24 March <mask> had an audience with the King, George IV, on the question of Emancipation.However early in the conversation the King interrupted <mask>, "it was only occasionally that I could edge in my remarks & opinions". <mask> said himself and other peers wishes for an administration "formed on anti Rom. Cath. principles & that if it would be H.M.'s pleasure to form such an administration it would be certain of support & success". The King, however, said a Prime Minister could not be appointed until it was certain that Lord Liverpool would not recover from his stroke. Nerwcastle responded by saying this delay could only help the pro-Emancipation politicians and that himself and other peers would help the King in his choice if he would choose Protestants, "not doubtful Protestants but such as are staunch and unequivocal in their opinions". The King replied: "That you may safely rely upon".When <mask> was going to suggest Lord Eldon as Prime Minister, the King stopped him by saying Eldon was persona non-grata and suggested Wellington instead. <mask> was opposed to this choice and wanted the King to make a stronger declaration in favour of a government opposed to Emancipation. The King was annoyed at this and asked, "What more can I do?" <mask> said nothing could be better than his declaration and that if he had the permission to make the King's declaration publicly known. The King would not allow this, however. <mask> wrote to Lord Colchester on 15 January 1828, that he wanted "a sound, plain-dealing Protestant administration, devoid of all quackery and mysterious nonsense". The <mask> of Wellington sought <mask>'s support for his new government, and when he learnt that it did not possess <mask>'s confidence (and not receiving a reply to his first letter) he wrote again to him on 31 January, saying: "Nothing can be more unpleasant to me than that the friendly Relations between your Grace and the Govt.should be suspended". <mask> finally replied on 4 February, saying his government did not possess his confidence. On 18 September 1828, <mask> condemned the government for "neutrality, conciliation, and modern liberality". Wellington "may be the victim of a monstrous error" but he had supported relieving the Dissenters and his first parliamentary session was "by far the most disastrous of any in the memory of man". <mask> advised that those opposed to Emancipation "must unite in Protestant associations from one end of the country to the other, and as Parliament is not sitting, they should address their Protestant King". Failure to do this might provoke punishment from God. <mask> led a crowd to Windsor to petition the King against Emancipation.One contemporary Canningite called it "radical all over". When in October 1829, <mask> was criticised for evicting tenants who had voted against his candidates, he famously wrote: "Is it presumed then that I am not to do what I will with my own?". He repeated this in the Lords on 3 December 1830. In response to further evictions, The Times rebuked <mask> for acting like the recently deposed Charles X of France in abusing his power and claimed that his actions were the best argument in favour of reform. Opposition to Reform
Pelham-Clinton was a vehement opponent of electoral reform. This stance led to attacks on his property during the Reform Bill Riots of 1831. Nottingham Castle was burnt to the ground and his residences at Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire and Portman Square, London also had to be fortified against the mob.In 1839, <mask> objected to the appointment to the magistracy of two gentlemen nominated by the government, but of whose political and religious principles he disapproved (being Dissenters). He wrote a very offensive letter to Lord Chancellor Cottenham, and on his refusing to withdraw it he received a letter on 4 May from Russell informing him, that the Queen had no further occasion for his services as Lord Lieutenant of Nottinghamshire. Charles Greville wrote in his diary on 2 May:

Personal life
On 18 July 1807 Pelham-Clinton married Georgiana Elizabeth, the only child and heiress of Edward Miller Mundy of Shipley Hall, and his second wife, Georgiana (née Chadwick) Willoughby (the former wife of Thomas Willoughby, 4th Baron Middleton and second daughter of Evelyn Chadwick of West Leake). They had eight sons and six daughters, including:

 Lady Anna Maria Pelham-Clinton (1808–1822)
 Lady Georgiana Pelham-Clinton (1810–1874)
 <mask>-Clinton, 5th Duke of Newcastle-under-Lyne (1811–1864), who married Lady Susan Hamilton, the only daughter of Alexander Hamilton, 10th <mask> of Hamilton and Susan Beckford (second daughter and co-heiress of William Beckford of Fonthill Abbey), in 1832. They divorced in August 1850 and she married Jean Opdebeck of Brussels in January 1860. Lady Charlotte Pelham-Clinton (1812–1886)
 Lord Charles Pelham Pelham-Clinton (1813–1894), who married Elizabeth Grant, only surviving child of William Grant of Congleton, in 1848. Lord Thomas Charles Pelham-Clinton (1813–1882), who married Marianne Gritton, a daughter of Francis Gritton, in 1843; they separated in 1865.Lord William Pelham-Clinton (1815–1850), who died unmarried. Lt. Lord Edward Pelham-Clinton (1816–1842), who died of illness aboard HMS Harlequin during the First Opium War. Lord John Pelham-Clinton (1817–1817), who died in infancy. Lady Caroline Augusta Pelham-Clinton (1818–1898), who married Sir Cornwallis Ricketts, 2nd Baronet in 1852. Lady Henrietta Pelham-Clinton (1819–1890), who married Admiral Edwin Tennyson d'Eyncourt of Bayons Manor in 1859. Lord Robert Renebald Pelham-Clinton (1820–1867), who died unmarried. The Duchess of Newcastle-under-Lyne died in 1822 while giving birth to twins, a stillborn daughter and a son, Lord George Pelham Clinton, who died 13 days after birth.In memory of her, the 4th Duke built a church and mausoleum at Milton, Nottinghamshire. In 1833, when the new church at Milton was finished, it became the parish church, replacing the old one at West Markham. This situation was reversed, however, in 1949 when All Saints, West Markham, was reinstated as the parish church, and the Duke's mausoleum was left to decay. Milton Church, now simply a mausoleum, was finally rescued in 1972 when the Churches Conservation Trust took it into guardianship. The 4th Duke never remarried before his death at Clumber Park, Nottinghamshire, 12 January 1851, and was buried in All Saints' Church, West Markham on 21 January. He was succeeded by his eldest son <mask>, who was a prominent politician. Legacy

<mask> (born December 1, 1956) is a personal injury lawyer practicing in St. Louis, Missouri who attracted national attention in 2020 after he and his wife Patricia brandished firearms at political protesters marching past their home. The couple was charged with unlawful use of a weapon, a class E felony; they bargained down and pleaded guilty to misdemeanors and were subsequently pardoned by Missouri Governor Mike Parson. <mask> is currently running for a United States Senate seat expected to open in 2023. Early life and education
<mask> was born in Saint Louis and attended St. Louis Country Day School, graduating in 1975. He earned his A.B. in Sociology from Southern Methodist University in 1982, and his Juris Doctor from Southern Methodist's Dedman School of Law in 1985. <mask> was admitted to the bar in 1986 in Texas; in 1986, Missouri; in 1986, Nebraska; U.S. District Court, Southern District of Illinois, U.S. District Court, Eastern District of Missouri and to the U.S. Court of Appeals, 7th and 8th Circuits; and 1987, in Illinois.His practice has focused on suits involving traumatic brain injuries, spinal cord injuries, birth injuries, orthopedic injuries and major injuries resulting from car wrecks. The couple's career has included litigiousness against their subdivision neighbors spending, "...decades suing their neighbors and family members to protect their property." They asserted "squatter's rights" on a slice of shared property in their subdivision, sued a dog breeder from whom they bought a German shepherd. They razed beehives that constituted part of the education curriculum at a next door synagogue, then threatened to file suit if the congregation didn't remove the resultant debris. Confrontation with marchers

On June 28, 2020, about 500 Black Lives Matter protesters attempted to march to the home of St. Louis Mayor Lyda Krewson to demand her resignation. They felt she was retaliating when she publicly read the names and addresses of those locals who had written to demand defunding of the St. Louis Metropolitan Police Department. A smaller number of marchers had separately entered the private Portland Place, neighborhood, intending to join the main body of marchers at the mayor's home.Livestreamed video showed the first protesters entering the community by walking through an intact gate that a man was holding open. Twenty seconds later, the video shows <mask> with a rifle outside his house, yelling at protesters. <mask> later told media that the protesters "smashed through the historic wrought iron gates of Portland Place, destroying them, rushed towards my home...put us in fear for our lives", and also that "the gate came down and a large crowd of angry, aggressive people poured through. I was terrified that we’d be murdered within seconds". While the gate was damaged at some point in time, it was unclear who had damaged it. As the crowd approached, McCloskey shouted "private property" and "get out" multiple times at protesters. Protesters marched past his home.<mask> and Patricia stood outside their front door with a semi-automatic AR-15 and handgun respectively. Several protesters confronted the two in front of their home, only several yards apart, exchanging heated words. At one point, Patricia walked onto the grass between her home and the sidewalk where protesters were marching by. Some protesters were heard asking others to leave and move on, while other protesters were heard threatening the McCloskeys. No shots were fired and there were no injuries. Shortly after the incident, the McCloskeys told reporters that they support the Black Lives Matter movement and civil rights. There was no evidence that the protesters involved in this incident had weapons, a prosecutor said in 2021.<mask> in July 2020 had told media that the "people in the crowd in front of my house" were "armed with guns" and that "the police were aware and have video" of that. He said, "We saw the weapons at the time", and accused one protester of showing loaded magazines and telling him: "You're next". As a result of their newfound fame, the next month the couple were invited to speak at the 2020 Republican National Convention. In their remarks, which they delivered via video from their home, <mask> stated, in part, "It seems as if the Democrats no longer view the government's job as protecting honest citizens from criminals, but rather protecting criminals from honest citizens." The couple pleaded their felonies down to misdemeanors and were fined a combined $3,000. Republican Missouri Governor Mike Parson subsequently issued pardons for the pair. Political activities
<mask> has donated to Democratic candidates in the past, including $500 to former Sen. Claire McCaskill, who defeated Todd Akin in 2012.He gave $1,000 to Republican Bill Phelps, who was defeated by incumbent Democratic congressman Ike Skelton in 1992. Campaign for U.S. Senate

In 2020, <mask> launched a campaign for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated in 2022 by Roy Blunt. At a candidate's forum in Osage Beach, Missouri in October 2021, <mask> stated that he believes rape and incest victims as young as 13 years old should be prohibited from obtaining abortions. He said he once represented a woman who was raped by an uncle at 13, had the child, and later obtained a master's degree; and that the child who would have been aborted ended up getting a master's degree as well. <mask> said that it had bothered him "as long ago as when I was in grade school" that some death penalty opponents also support abortion rights. He added, "The justices of the Supreme Court in the most heinous crimes don't have the right to decide who should live and die, but every 13-year-old girl on the street should be able to decide the fate of the life of their child?"

Princess <mask> of Saxe-Meiningen (12 May 1879 – 26 August 1945) was born at Potsdam, the only child of Bernhard III, Duke of Saxe-Meiningen, and his wife, Princess Charlotte of Prussia (the eldest daughter of Frederick III, German Emperor, and Victoria, Princess Royal). <mask> was the first great-grandchild of both Queen Victoria of Great Britain and Emperor William I of Germany. Early life

Princess <mask> was born on 12 May 1879 as the only child of Bernhard, Hereditary Prince of Saxe-Meiningen, and his wife Princess Charlotte of Prussia, herself the eldest daughter of German Crown Prince Frederick William and Crown Princess Victoria. The new baby was the first grandchild of the Crown Prince and Princess, and through her mother was also the first great-grandchild of the British Queen Victoria. Charlotte, who loved to socialize, had hated being pregnant, believing that it limited her activities. Preferring to return to enjoying social life in Berlin, she declared after <mask>'s birth that she would have no further children, dismaying her mother, Crown Princess Victoria. It was unusual to be an only child in European royal families, and <mask> likely endured a lonely childhood.Charlotte loved to travel, and often left her daughter with Vicky at Friedrichshof, whom she viewed as the source of a convenient nursery. The Crown Princess, for her part, loved having the chance to spend time with her eldest granddaughter. Describing <mask> on one visit, she wrote that "she is really a good little child, & far easier to manage than her Mama". Victoria, who became German empress in 1888, perceived a deficit in <mask>'s upbringing and gradually became concerned about the girl's physical appearance and mental development, describing the thirteen-year-old as possessing "sharp pinched features" and an unusually short stature. <mask> also cared little for her studies, preferring instead to discuss fashion. Her grandmother, who placed a high value on education, blamed insufficient parental guidance for the girl's lack of studiousness, commenting that the "atmosphere of her home is not the best for a child of her age... With Charlotte for an example, what else can one expect... Her parents are rarely ever at home or together... She hardly knows what home life is!"Queen Victoria was fond of her eldest great-grandchild. In June 1887, the young <mask> and her parents attended the queen's  Golden Jubilee in London. While her parents stayed at Buckingham Palace, <mask> stayed with her young cousin Princess Alice of Battenberg at the home of the Dowager Duchess of Buccleuch at Whitehall, allowing the girls to watch the royal procession as it made its way to Westminster Abbey. Queen Victoria described her as "sweet little Feo, who is so good and I think grown quite pretty. We were delighted to have her and I think the dear child has enjoyed herself." Marriage

As <mask> grew older, her marriage began to be a consideration. The exiled Prince Peter Karađorđević, thirty-six years older than <mask>, proposed himself as a suitor, though this was likely a bid to gain support for succeeding to the Serbian throne.Charlotte declared that "for such a throne <mask> is far too good". Her mother's maternal first cousin Alfred, Hereditary Prince of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, the only son of Charlotte's friend (and <mask> maternal grandaunt) the Duchess of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, was also considered. Several months after returning from Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee celebrations in June 1897, <mask> became engaged to Prince Heinrich XXX Reuss of Köstritz (1864-1939), with the betrothal announced in early October. Born in Castle Neuhoff, he was the youngest son of Prince Heinrich IX Reuss of Köstritz (1827-1898) and Baroness Anne Marie Wilhelmine Helene of Zedlitz und Leipe (1829-1907). Henry's father died in early 1898, forcing a temporary postponement of the marriage. Rumours that the marriage had been cancelled proved to be untrue, and they married at Breslau on 24 September 1898 in  a Lutheran ceremony. Princess <mask> was the only great-grandchild of Queen Victoria and only grandchild of German Empress Victoria to be married in their lifetimes; she married in 1898 and both the Queen and the German Empress died in 1901.Prince Henry was a captain in the Brunswick Infantry Regiment No. 92, though not particularly wealthy or high-ranked. <mask>'s grandmother Empress Victoria was surprised at the choice of groom, particularly his lack of position, but observed that the bride at least seemed happy. Of the fifteen-year age gap, Victoria commented, "I am very glad he is older than she is, and if he is wise and steady and firm, he may do her a vast deal of good, and it may turn out very well, but she has had a strange example in her mother, and is a strange little creature." The historian John Van der Kiste writes that Feodora was "evidently besotted" with her new husband, and she likely also sought marriage as an escape from her "irksome home life". Once returned from their honeymoon, Henry spent much of his time on duty with his regiment, while <mask> joined a reading group and attended the opera and theatre in Berlin. Feodora also often accompanied her husband during his military assignments, travelling throughout Germany.Last years
<mask> suffered most of her adult life from ill health, describing it as "the old story" of her life. Like her mother and maternal grandmother, <mask>'s illnesses included dizziness, insomnia, nausea, various pains, paralysis, constipation, and diarrhoea. She underwent several operations to treat her illnesses and alleviate her infertility, each without success. <mask> visited Windsor Castle in 1900, which would be the last time she saw her great-grandmother before Queen Victoria's death the following year. Henry attended her funeral, but ill health kept <mask> from attending. <mask> blamed malaria for her condition, though Charlotte told family members that Henry had given his wife a venereal disease, an allegation Feodora furiously denied. Charlotte asked her daughter to get tested by Charlotte's personal physician; when <mask> refused, it confirmed to Charlotte that her beliefs were correct.In reaction, <mask> refused to enter her mother's house and complained to family members of Charlotte's "incredible" actions. In 1903, the couple moved to Flensburg upon Henry being transferred, where they lived in a small house. <mask> found that the region's mild climate had a positive impact on her health. To further improve it and increase the probability of becoming pregnant, she took pills of arsenic and thorium. Her poor health recurred, however, and she again began suffering from toothache and migraines. In October 1904, a serious illness was blamed on influenza. Her further efforts to conceive included numerous visits to private clinics through the years, which often led to painful surgeries and procedures.Two World Wars
With the outbreak of World War I, Henry was dispatched to the Western Front, while his wife opened a small hospital to treat wounded soldiers. By this stage, relations between him and his wife had deteriorated; Henry believed <mask> enjoyed complaining about being sick and seeing doctors. He wrote that her illness "consists mainly in complete lack of energy and mental apathy", and complained that "she grossly exaggerates her illnesses and causes me and others quite unnecessary anxiety". Henry died in 1939. After the war concluded with Germany's defeat, <mask>'s father's rule over the Duchy of Saxe-Meiningen was ended. Her post-war life is mostly unknown, and records of her subsequent medical history have mainly been lost. She spent her final years at the Sanatorium Buchwald-Hohenwiese, near Hirschberg, Silesia.She committed suicide on 26 August 1945, dying shortly after World War II ended. In describing <mask>'s life, the historian John Van der Kiste writes that "the princess who had so desperately wanted children of her own had instead continued to battle with constant physical ailments, insomnia and severe depression, and endured many years of ill-health similar to that of her mother". Medical analysis
In the 1990s, the historian John Röhl and his colleagues Martin Warren and David Hunt found <mask>'s grave in Poland, exhuming the body for DNA analysis in the belief that it would reveal signs of the genetic disease porphyria however, it was proved inconclusive. Ancestry

<mask> (born <mask>; September 5, 1940) is an American actress, singer, and model. She first won attention for her role in Fantastic Voyage (1966), after which she won a contract with 20th Century Fox. They lent her contract to the British studio Hammer Film Productions, for whom she made One Million Years B.C. (1966). Although she had only three lines of dialogue in the film, images of her in the doe-skin bikini became best-selling posters that turned her into an international sex symbol. She later starred in Bedazzled (1967), Bandolero! (1968), 100 Rifles (1969), Myra Breckinridge (1970) and Hannie Caulder (1971).She made several television variety specials. Through her portrayal of strong female characters, which helped in her breaking the mold of the traditional sex symbol, <mask> developed a unique film persona that made her an icon of the 1960s and 1970s. Her rise to stardom in the mid-1960s was partly credited with ending Hollywood's vigorous promotion of the blonde bombshell. She won a Golden Globe Award for Best Motion Picture Actress in a Musical or Comedy in 1974 for her performance in The Three Musketeers. She was also nominated for a Golden Globe Award for Best Actress in Television Film for her performance in the film Right to Die (1987). In 1995, <mask> was chosen by Empire magazine as one of the "100 Sexiest Stars in Film History". Playboy ranked <mask> No.3 on their "100 Sexiest Stars of the Twentieth Century" list.In 2011, Men's Health ranked her No.2 in its "Hottest Women of All Time" list. Early life

Her father, Armando Tejada, was an aeronautical engineer from La Paz, Bolivia, son of Agustin Tejada and <mask> Urquizo. In 2010 while being interviewed on the talk show Tavis Smiley, <mask> stated, "My father came from a country called Bolivia. He was of Spanish descent." Her cousin, Bolivian politician Lidia Gueiler Tejada (1921–2011), became the first female President of Bolivia and the second female non-royal head of state in the Americas.<mask> was named after her paternal grandmother. Her mother, Josephine Hall, was the daughter of architect Emery Stanford Hall and his wife Clara Louise Adams; she was of English ancestry. <mask> has a younger brother, James "Jim" Tejada, and had a younger sister, Gayle Tejada (1943-2020). The family moved from Illinois to San Diego, California, when <mask> was two years old. <mask> attended the Pacific Beach Presbyterian Church every Sunday with her mother. As a young girl, <mask> had the desire to be a performer and entertainer. She began studying ballet at age seven, but after ten years of study, she left the art at seventeen when her instructor told her she did not have the right body type for professional ballet companies.At age 14, she won beauty titles as Miss Photogenic and Miss Contour. While attending La Jolla High School she won the title of Miss La Jolla and the title of Miss San Diegothe Fairest of the Fairat the San Diego County Fair. This long line of beauty contests eventually led to the state title of Maid of California. Her parents divorced when she finished her school years. <mask> graduated with honors from high school in 1958. Seeking an acting career, <mask> entered San Diego State College on a theater arts scholarship, and the following year she married her high school sweetheart, <mask>. She won several parts in local theater productions.In 1959, she played the title role in The Ramona Pageant, a yearly outdoor play at Hemet, California, which is based on the novel Ramona by Helen Hunt Jackson and Bob Biloe. She got a job as a weather forecaster at KFMB, a local San Diego television station. Because her family life and television duties were so demanding she decided to give up her drama classes. After her separation from <mask>, she moved with her two children to Dallas, where she made a "precarious living" as a model for Neiman Marcus and as a cocktail waitress. Career

1964–1966: Early works and breakthrough

<mask> initially intended to move to New York City from Dallas, but moved back to Los Angeles in 1963 and started applying for roles with the movie studios. During this period of time, she met one-time child actor and Hollywood agent Patrick Curtis who became her personal and business manager. They developed a plan to turn <mask> into a sex symbol.To avoid typecasting as a Latina, he convinced her to use her husband's last name. She was cast in small roles in two films, A House Is Not a Home (1964) and the musical Roustabout (1964), an Elvis Presley film. She also landed small roles on the television series Bewitched, McHale's Navy and The Virginian and appeared on the weekly variety series The Hollywood Palace as a billboard girl and presenter. She was one of many actresses who auditioned for the role of Mary Ann Summers on the television series Gilligan's Island. <mask>'s first featured role was in the beach film A Swingin' Summer (1965). That same year, she won the Deb Star while her photo in a Life magazine layout called "The End of the Great Girl Drought!" created buzz around town.She was noticed by the wife of producer Saul David, who recommended her to 20th Century Fox, where with the help of Curtis she landed a contract. She agreed to seven-year nonexclusive contract, five pictures over the next five years and two floaters. Studio executives talked about changing her name to "Debbie". They thought "<mask>" would be hard to pronounce. She refused their request. She wanted her real name, so she stuck with "<mask> <mask>". She was cast in a leading role in the sci-fi film Fantastic Voyage (1966), in which she portrayed a member of a medical team that is miniaturized and injected into the body of an injured diplomat with the mission to save his life.The film was a hit and made her a star. Fox Studio loaned <mask> to Hammer Studios in Britain where she starred in One Million Years B.C. (1966), a remake of the Hal Roach film One Million B.C. (1940). Her only costume was a two-piece deer skin bikini. She was described as "wearing mankind's first bikini" and the fur bikini was described as a "definitive look of the 1960s". The New York Times hailed her in its review of the film (which was released in the U.K. in 1966 and in the U.S. in 1967), "a marvelous breathing monument to womankind".One author said, "although she had only three lines in the film, her luscious figure in a fur bikini made her a star and the dream girl of millions of young moviegoers". A publicity still of her in the bikini became a best-selling poster and turned her into an instant pin-up girl. The film raised <mask>'s stature as a leading sex symbol of the era. In 2011, Time listed <mask>'s B.C. bikini in the "Top Ten Bikinis in Pop Culture". In 1966, <mask> starred with Marcello Mastroianni in the Italian film Shoot Loud, Louder... I Don't Understand for Joe E. Levine.The same year, she appeared in the film Sex Quartet (1966) as Elena in the segment "Fata Elena". She was the only American in the cast of the anthology film The Oldest Profession (1967); her segment was directed by Michael Pfleghar. In Italy, she also appeared in a heist movie for MGM, The Biggest Bundle of Them All (1968). It co-starred Edward G. Robinson who said of <mask>, "I must say she has quite a body. She has been the product of a good publicity campaign. I hope she lives up to it because a body will only take you so far." 1967–1979: International stardom

Her first starring vehicle, the British Modesty Blaise-style spy movie Fathom (1967), was filmed in Spain for 20th Century Fox.Second unit director Peter Medak said <mask> "was at that time quite inexperienced, exactly like one of those American drum majorettes. But she tried very hard and went to see the rushes each day, gradually improving. 'Who's this dumb broad?' people used to say. But I said: 'You wait. I'll bet she makes it.' I liked her very much because she was such a genuine person.And she had a beautiful body which always helps." <mask> said her role was "a blown up Barbie doll". Reviewing her performance, the Los Angeles Times film critic said that "each new <mask> <mask> picture brings further proof that when Maria Montez died they didn't break the mold. Like Maria, <mask> can't act from here to there, but both ladies seem to have been born to be photographed... this sappiest of spy pictures." At this stage, <mask> owed Fox four films, at one a year. She and Curtis also established their own production company, Curtwel. Fox wanted <mask> to play Jennifer in their adaptation of Valley of the Dolls but she refused, wanting to play the role of Neely O'Hara.The studio was not interested, casting Patty Duke; Sharon Tate played Jennifer North. In England, she appeared as Lust incarnate in the Peter Cook–Dudley Moore comedy, Bedazzled (1967), a Swinging '60s retelling of the Faust legend. It was popular, as was the Western, Bandolero! (1968), which was shot in Del Rio, Texas, at the Alamo Village. It co-starred her against James Stewart and Dean Martin. "I think she's going to stack up all right," Stewart said of <mask>. "No one is going to shout, 'Wow it's Anne Bancroft all over again'," said <mask> of her performance, "but at least I'm not Miss Sexpot running around half naked all the time."In 1968, <mask> appeared with Frank Sinatra in the detective film Lady in Cement, a sequel to the film Tony Rome (1967). She played the socialite Kit Forrest, the romantic interest of Tony Rome. <mask> said later wittily that she catches the film from time to time and now realizes Kit Forrest was an alcoholic: "I'm watching this movie and I'm thinking, 'What the hell has she got on?' At one point, I had this epiphany: 'Oh, she's an alcoholic!' I didn't know that. How could I miss that?" She reportedly was so smitten with Sinatra she forgot to act: "I think I was just so enamoured with Frank Sinatra, you know.He's hypnotic." <mask> starred as a freedom fighter leader in 100 Rifles, a 1969 western directed by Tom Gries and filmed in Almería, Spain. It also starred Jim Brown, Burt Reynolds and Fernando Lamas. The movie provoked publicity and controversy at the time because it included a love scene between <mask> and Brown that breached the Hollywood taboo against the onscreen portrayal of interracial intimacy. The film is remembered for the spectacular "Shower Scene" in which <mask> distracts the soldiers on the train by taking a shower at a water tower along the tracks. The director, Gries, tried hard to convince <mask> to do the scene naked, but she refused. It was one of the many instances <mask> resisted going nude on-screen and pushed back for years against producers who wanted her to act or pose nude.In 1969, <mask> also starred in the thriller Flareup and had a supporting role in the dark comedy The Magic Christian. <mask>'s most controversial role came in Myra Breckinridge (1970). She took the role as the film's transsexual heroine in an attempt to be taken seriously as an actress. The production was characterized by animosity between <mask> and Mae West, who walked out of the film for three days. The film was based on Gore Vidal's controversial bestseller about a man who becomes a woman through surgery. The film's producer Robert Fryer stated: "If a man were going to become a woman, he would want to become the most beautiful woman in the world. He would become <mask> <mask>".Her looks and fame led Playboy to dub her the "Most Desired Woman" of the 1970s. <mask>

In the interim, she flew to Budapest and filmed a cameo in Bluebeard opposite Richard Burton. Although Kansas City Bomber was not considered a critical success, it vividly depicted gender relations in the early 1970s. In a 2012 interview, <mask> reflected on the roller derby world depicted in the film: "You have all those women out there, but the men in the front office are really running it.Which I thought was a really nice metaphor for the way a lot of women felt about their lives at that time."

The studio claimed she was not living up to her contract, by refusing early-morning rehearsals, and was replaced with Debra Winger.<mask> sued MGM for breach of contract. Studio executives claimed in testimony the reason <mask> was following through with the trial was because she was an actress over 40 and generally actresses in that age range cannot get roles anymore. <mask>'s evidence at trial proved there was a conspiracy to falsely blame her for the film's budget problems and delays. The jury sided with <mask> and she won a $10.8 million verdict against MGM in 1986. Despite the win, <mask> wished the whole episode never had happened.

Personal life

<mask> married her high school sweetheart, <mask>, on May 8, 1959, but they separated in 1962 and divorced in 1964. She married producer Patrick Curtis in 1967 and divorced him in 1972. In 1980, she began a 10-year marriage to producer André Weinfeld, whom she divorced in 1990. <mask> wed Richard Palmer, owner of Mulberry Street Pizzeria, in 1999 but then separated from him in 2003 and later divorced. <mask> says she will not remarry. Through her first marriage, <mask> is the mother of <mask> (born November 6, 1959) and actress Tahnee <mask> (born Latanne <mask>, December 26, 1961).Tahnee followed her mother's December 1979 example and appeared on the cover of Playboy in the November 1995 issue and in a nude pictorial inside it. In 1990, Damon married Rebecca, daughter of Fred Trueman but the marriage lasted only two years. <mask> posed for Playboy in 1979, but she never did a fully nude shoot. Hugh Hefner later wrote, "<mask> <mask>, one of the last of the classic sex symbols, came from the era when you could be considered the sexiest woman in the world without taking your clothes off. She declined to do complete nudity, and I yielded gracefully. The pictures prove her point." <mask> has refused to take all her clothes off on screen or pose naked throughout her career spanning five decades, saying this was the way she was brought up.While her image in the 1960s was that of a torrid sex temptress, <mask>'s private life was quite different. She once famously said, "What I do on the screen is not to be equated with what I do in my private life. Privately, I am understated and dislike any hoopla". She also admitted, "I was not brought up to be a sex symbol, nor is it in my nature to be one. The fact that I became one is probably the loveliest, most glamorous and fortunate misunderstanding". Political views

In 2014, during an appearance on The O'Reilly Factor, <mask> described herself as being on the conservative side, attributing it to her mother's midwestern values. During the Vietnam War, <mask> showed support for the troops at United Service Organizations (USO) shows.In popular culture

<mask> helped transform America's feminine ideal into its current state. Her beautiful looks and eroticism made her the definitive 1960s and 1970s sex icon, rather than the blonde bombshell of the late 1950s as typified by Marilyn Monroe, Jayne Mansfield, and others. <mask> became a star in the mid-1960s and was exotic, brunette, and smolderingly sexual. Her countless publicity photos helped to popularize her image, dress style, and 1960s and 1970s fashion trends. <mask> and other actresses also made big hair popular. <mask> is mentioned in the 1971 song, "One's on the Way" by country music legend Loretta Lynn. <mask> is one of the few actresses, and one of the earliest, who had a lead role in a Western movie.Hannie Caulder (1971) was a clear influence on later revenge films. Quentin Tarantino said the film was one of his inspirations for Kill Bill (2003). It took many years, arguably until the 1990s, until female leads appeared in mainstream U.S. cinema who are strongwithout adding fictional or overemphasizing masculine traits (or portraying them as femme fatales). In the 1994 film The Shawshank Redemption, the poster that Andy Dufresne had on his prison cell wall at the time of his escape was the famous pinup image of <mask> in One Million Years B.C. Prior to Dufresne's escape being realized, the warden refers to <mask> as "Miss Fuzzy Britches". Filmography
