I think Althea Gibson deserves a mention here. I first heard of her from a part she had in a John Wayne movie, The Horse Soldiers. After garnering some interest in her, I did some research....not only a tennis pro (won Wimbledon), but also a pro golfer. Just sounds like a very interesting woman. And generally, I find women more interesting than men, but that's just me. And I think she just recently had some U.S. stamps issued with her on them playing tennis.
