"Audrey Munson/Stormé DeLarverie/Nancy Wake" | |||||
Audrey Munson: Audrey Munson was a model considered to be America's first "supermodel", as well as the first American movie star to appear in the nude on the movie Inspiration, released in 1915, almost 101 years ago. She posed for a dozen statues that would be erected in New York and starred in films, three-fourths of them being lost. After trying to kill herself with Mercury(II) chloride at the age of 39, she was sent to a mental facility for 65 years and remained there for the rest of her life until her death at age 104. She was buried without a tombstone until in 2016, on what would have been her 125th birthday.
Age: 104 Status: D Stormé DeLarverie: Stormé DeLarverie was a butch lesbian who was also known as "the Rosa Parks of the gay community" whose fight with the police during the infamous Stonewall riots was one of its most memorable and defining moments. She was also an MC, singer, bouncer, bodyguard and volunteer street patrol worker, the "guardian of lesbians in the Village", as they said. During most of her life, she performed at the Apollo Theatre and Radio City Music Hall and usually performed at other places. She is remembered as a gay civil rights icon and entertainer after her death at age 93 in Brooklyn. Age: 93 Status: D Nancy Wake: Nancy wake was a highly-accoladed French intelligence officer who, spurred by the onset of World War II that saw her native country fall into the throes of Nazi Germany, became a courier for the Pat O'Leary escape network that sought to free Allied airmen and escort them to Spain, where they could be more safer. She risked herself in the process, as the Gestapo, the Nazi police force at the time, always attempted to capture her, but she always eluded them, which earned her the nickname "White Mouse" from them. However, they managed to intrude upon France and have the network betrayed, leading Wake to join the Special Operations Executive, which served as a liaison between London and the local maquis group overlooked by Emile Couloudon, who initially did not cooperate with the SEO and only wanted money and arms (which they didn't give to him) but later gave in to the French Forces of the Interior's demands, after which the SOE turned in the items to him. Wake was then ordered to scout for the items and physically hand it in to the maquis, along with a hit list of people the Maquis had to kill off before the Allies invaded France.
