Great site Diedra! It is really good! You should send it to IH for them to incorporate into the main GPhiB website...by the way, I am glad you did not list Kirstie Alley or Elizabeth Montgomery or Michelle Kwan -- none of them are Gamma Phis.

For Cloris Leachman, you can add that she won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in 1971 for The Last Picture Show; her character was "Ruth Popper."

Also Kristin Chenoweth won her Tony in 1999 for Best Actress (Featured Role--Musical) for "You're a Good Man, Charlie Brown" and was nominated this year for Best Actress in a musical "Wicked"

We also have a Pulitzer Prize winning sister -- the 1958 Pulitzer Prize for an Autobiography/Biography was awarded to three authors who wrote GEORGE WASHINGTON -- 1) Douglas Southall Freeman, who wrote Vols I-VI, and then after his death, Volume VII was written by (2) John Alexander Carroll and (3) Mary Wells Ashworth (our sister!) I am not sure of her chapter but I think at least her name appears on our main website....
