I need to research a famous woman. Help?

I have to write and then perform a ten minute monologue about a famous woman. Perferably an actress/comedianne/famous. The person must be white (I'm not racist, but I have to stay in my race). I'd love to have a fun death part....but not a must. Please help me!!

Isadora Duncan. She was a tremendous dancer, lived a strange life, and died when her long, trailing scarf caught in the wheels of the motorcycle she was riding.
Martha Raye - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Martha_Raye -She had a fascinating life (married 7 times, etc.), but suffered Alzheimer's in her final years, lost her legs, etc. Not really a "fun" death! Imogene Coca - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Imogene_Coca - Worked with Sid Caesar, had her own TV show for awhile. Another Alzheimer's victim. Lucille Ball - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucille_Ball - One of the world's most famous comedienne's. Her shows are still in re-runs! Lots of material to work with here! Died of heart problems. Dame Margaret Rutherford - (British) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Rutherford - Started as a comedienne because of her appearance, later well-known as Agatha Christie's "Miss Marple" in the film series based on those novels. Another Alzheimer's victim. ... these famous comediennes should get you started. Any one of them would be great! Isadora Duncan - The "Mother of Modern Dance," she was a dancer famous for dancing barefoot in flowing Grecian-style gowns and floaty scarves. She died the most interesting death. In Nice, France, on September 14, 1927, at the age of 50, while riding off with a young man (one of her many lovers), her super-long scarf caught in the spokes of one of the car's wheels and she was jerked out of the car and choked to death. Her two young children and their nanny had years earlier died, drowned in a car. She was bisexual and had a scandalous love life, and in her later years, piles of financial problems. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isadora_Duncan
Why should we help you wen you have an entire library at your disposal? It's called the Internet, dear. You go to Google and see what you can find. And what the hell is a "fun death part?" Those two words used together are an oxymoron.
Saah Bernhardt. Bernhardt made her fame on the stages of Europe in the 1870s, and was soon in demand in Europe and the United States. She developed a reputation as a serious dramatic actress, earning the nickname "The Divine Sarah." she was the original "drama queen"
Maria Sklodowska – Curie(scientist - Nobel Prize for Physics 1903) Greta Garbo(famous actress) Cleopatra(Egyptian queen) Isidora Duncan 1878-1927( started modern ballet)
If you want a truly fascinating and complex woman, do Emma Goldman.
Gilda Radner...one of the funniest women in comedy. She was on Saturday Night Live! She was married to Gene Wilder...another comic genius. She sadly died of ovarian cancer. http://www.findadeath.com/Deceased/r/Gilda%20Radner/gilda_radner.htm http://www.answers.com/topic/gilda-radner?cat=biz-fin No one really knows much about her especially younger people. She would be a fun character to do!
