    Ruth Orkin (1921 - 1985) was an American photographer, photojournalist, and filmmaker, with ties to New York City and Hollywood. Best known for her photograph An American Girl in Italy (1951), she photographed many celebrities and personalities including Lauren Bacall, Doris Day, Ava Gardner, Tennessee Williams, Marlon Brando, and Alfred Hitchcock.Kathy Switzer was the first woman to run in the Boston Marathon. But in order to do so she had to put her hair under a cap and pretend to be a young man. Because of her courage women have been running in the marathon ever since. She wore a tennis skirt and a ribbon in her hair for this Central Park race in 1974 because she was proud that she could finally run as a woman.
