hullabaloo about her life and accomplishments. A world-renowned designer of
livestock handling facilities, a professor of animal science at Colorado State

recent chapter of her life is being written right now, or filmed to be more

The completed work - a biopic on her life and
experiences over the decades of the 1960s and 1970s - is set to air February
2010 in a two-hour production on HBO.
