| 1 | Conceived the Grayway Rotating Drain, a graywater recycling device for domestic reuse of shower and sink water. However, the patent, U.S. Patent 5,274,861 (issued on January 4, 1994), does not list her as an inventor, which is inconsistent with the claim that she conceived of the invention. Nonetheless, she was recognized as one of the 50 most beautiful female inventors of all time by Inventors Weekly magazine. |

| 8 | Became nationally known on TV's satire series Fridays (1980), which was ABC's answer to Saturday Night Live (1975). She immediately stood out among the cast thanks to her Jane Curtin-like regular role as the anchor on the show's fake newscasts, and her comedic skills and impersonations. |
| 9 | An in-demand voice artist best known for her TV and film vocalizations on the Rugrats (1990) series. |
