What a change for women! In 1966, they were 12% of PhDs. By 2019, they were 53% of PhDs. Women are the majority of graduates at every educational level now from high school to doctorate. Also, the majority of law & med school grads. Wow.

[@michaelhartman6036]

Elizabeth was one of two actresses in line for co-lead in "On the Waterfront". She either lost or turned down the role. The director said there was "too much of an air of finishing school" about her for the role - another article once quoted him as saying "too Connecticut". Following up on this was how I learned that Connecticut was often the "country" where New York celebrities (like her father, actor Robert Montgomery) and the wealthy would often retreat for a quieter life, and was also the epicenter for the old American 1930's "movie dialect" that sounded so proper and almost like a British accent that you would hear occasionally from New York City-based actors in the old days. You can hear it in Backus' speech, as well as slightly in Montgomery's.
