AMELIA.

Amelia Mary Earhart (born July 24, 1897; missing July 2, 1937) was the first woman to fly solo across the Atlantic Ocean. She set many other records, wrote best-selling books about her flying experiences and was instrumental in the National Woman’s Party, and an early supporter of the Equal Rights Amendment.
She disappeared on her final attempt to fly around the world near Howland Island (which in itself is a very interesting story). Howland Island has no economic activity, and is perhaps best known as the island Amelia Earhart never reached. Airstrips built in the late 1930s to accommodate her planned stopover were never used.
I was looking over old photos of Ms. Earhart recently and I was struck by her beauty, confidence and style. Look at these photos. They could easily be mistaken for something a fashion magazine today would do to try and come off as “hip” or “cool”. It was innate for her.
Amelia Mary Earhart（1897年7月24日生まれ、1937年7月2日消息不明）は単独で大西洋の上空を飛行した世界初の女性でした。その他にも数々の記録を作り、自身の飛行体験についてのベストセラー本も出し、国内女性党にとっては要人でり、男女同権修正法案の早くからの支持者でした。彼女は世界一周をしようとした最後の試みでHowland島の近くで消息を絶ちました。（Howland島自体、とても興味深いストーリーがあります。）Howland島は経済活動はまったく無く、Amelia Earhartがたどり着かなかった島として有名な所です。1930年代後半に彼女の一時滞在の為に作られた滑走路は一度も使われる事はありませんでした。
僕は最近Earhartさんの古い写真を見ていて、彼女の美しさと自信とセンスに惹かれました。この写真を見てください。今日のファッション誌にでも載っているような写真で、今でも「イケていて」、「クール」に見えます。彼女が生まれ持ったものなのです。

    you are right, a few of those look like they could be straight out of the pages of a fashion magazine.
    I thought the movie looked like a real dud…which is unfortunate given how interesting the story is.

    I am sure Hilary Swank has done an amazing job, and even looks similar, but in a few of those photos, it seems Milla Jovovich could be her clone.
