interesting...
Bette Nesmith Graham invented Liquid Paper!!
while working as a secretary in Dallas (she was originally an artist, but hey, you've got to pay the bills), Bette came up with the idea, and invented what she originally called, Mistake Out.
in 1958, she called her company Liquid Paper, and by 1980, she sold out for $48mil. nice.
she also was the mother of Monkee's band member Michael Nesmith.
apparently she was also a pioneer for American women in business at the time. she established two foundations devoted to encouraging womens involvement in business and art.

NEXT: Nick Bracegirdle
