I have seen this woman on television twice now. Once on the Ellen Degeneres show, and once on Jay Leno. She was Miss America in '44 ish. Now she's about 82. Have you heard about this woman? On Leno, she said something to the effect of "Well, I shot the tires instead of shooting the men, or I would have gone to prison."
I love that!
So the story is that Venus lives on a farm. One day, 2 men were stealing supplies out of her shed. She drives over, blocks them in with her truck, and shoots out the tires! (I have a special affinity for strong women!)
So, Jay Leno asks her what skills she used during the Miss America contest. She says: "I sang and danced, you know I shake a mean hip!"
Leno-"So, who taught you how to shoot?!"
Venus-"I'M FROM KENTUCKY!"
About Me
- elana r. snyder
- I was born in June, 1963 in Washington, D.C. My b/mother spent roughly the last 5 months of her pregnancy at the Florence Crittenton: "Home for Unwed Mothers" I was almost immediately adopted into a very abusive Baltimore home in 63. In 1994, my common law marriage broke up while I was living in Melbourne,AUS. I fell homeless for the first time. I didn't break that cycle until 4/2013. (For a true sense of context, I highly encourage you to start reading at the beginning; April 1, 2007!) While homeless (or "housed" in extremely toxic and unsafe situations) I endured chronic hunger and even Dr. diagnosed starvation. I've been a victim of countless felony crimes since 1983. I've been partially disabled since 1994 and fully disabled since about 2002; after contracting lyme disease. In April 2011 I was forced to flee 2,230 miles to evade my stalker of six years. One of my dreams, is to donate my entire handwritten story to Hollywood.
