I love that when pushed, Margaret Bourke-White is referenced, because she broke the mold and excelled in a man's world. She was the first Western journalist into the Death Camps in WWII, the last Western Journalist to photograph and interview Ghandi, had the first cover of Life Magazine.
Other AOIIs of note: 1) Mary Dawson, Canada's Ethics Commissioner and Conflict of Interest Commissioner. She was also the last review the Canadian Constitution before it was signed by the Queen and PM Pierre Elliott Trudeau. 2) Janis MacKey Frayer, a CTV News journalist. She is currently in the Middle East and was on CTV news today, in fact, about the Commonwealth Games in New Dehli.
I had heard of the Coke colour story, and a story that Frank Capra's wife was an AOII, which is evident to AOIIs when they watch Mr. Smith Goes to Washington (if the unconfirmed rumour is correct). Of course, that movie might just be a fluke, and Capra may not have been married to an AOII. :-)
