Just watched FDR on the Bio channel. Looking at the credits,and seeing Mike Wallace I know it’s old biographies from 50s-60s they’re showing.While looking at the 6? sketches they show in those credits you’ll see Einstein,Ghandi,and Babe Ruth along with FDR,and a woman on the bottom right. When these shows were current it always struck me as a glam shot of Dorothy Kilgallen with a full chin.I know this can’t be it. Who is she supposed to be? M Curie was always my best guess,tho I’ve never seen a pic of her,and know she couldn’t have looked like Greer Garson. ---

I don’t get cable so I don’t know what picture you’re referring to, but here’s Biography’s website for “Women of History”: [http://www.biography.com/features/womenhist/](http://www.biography.com/features/womenhist/) Some of them have photos. Perhaps the one you’re looking for is there? ---

Thanks for the link.Unfortunately these are pen and ink sketches (on the show) not photos,so it’s hard to match up the photos I’ve seen there with the person.Plus a lot of those bios have no pictures. All the men in the sketches are instantly recognizable to me,but not the woman. ---

The woman has dark shoulder length hair,kinda rules out those 2.Maybe she was meant to represent all women?It was the 50s,and other than actresses,women weren’t that visible in the newsreels. ---

IIRC, it’s Golda Meir. I could be wrong though.
