And again the nation mourns another icon...this time it is not Hollywood but the political world. Today Geraldine Ferraro passed away at the tender age of 75. She was the Democratic party's first woman candidate for Vice President, to run with Walter Mondale. Of course, the Republican opponents won by a major landslide (Ronald Reagan and the first Bush).
This nomination opened the door for such women as Hillary and even Ms. Palin. Other nations have had women presidents and prime ministers, but our nation is afraid to let leadership be guided by a woman. Her story will definitely make a great Hollywood biopic. She was not born with a silver spoon, worked hard to get where she got.
May she rest in peace.
