    34 Academy Award nominations and 8 Oscars make her both the most honored costume designer and woman in Academy Award history to date. In all, she served as costume designer for more than 340 films, TV series, and made-for-TV movies. In her Hollywood 1983 autobiography co-written with Paddy Calisto, she stated, "There's nothing like a row of Oscars on a dress designer's desk for putting the fear of God into an actress who thinks she knows everything about dress designing." Who is this?

    This Tony and Oscar-award winning American actress has had a great career, marked by several personal tragedies. Her son was once hit by a cab in his baby carriage, and her daughter died at the age of seven. She herself suffered a series of strokes when she was pregnant with another daughter, who was born healthy. She credits her famous author husband and her own innate stubbornness with her recovery, after which she went back to acting in numerous films and guest-starring in several television series. Who is she?

    A valedictorian who was denied her high school diploma after she criticized her school during a graduation speech will receive her sheepskin Thursday, but she still doesn't have an apology, she said. In what state did this take place?

She abdicated her throne, supposedly for her religion, but it is also known that she was "wasteful," creating hundreds of new titles in her country.
