On This Day In Women’s History:

January 3, 1916: Betty Furness was born.

Betty Furness, television reporter for Westinghouse during the 1950s and 60s, consumer affairs advocate in the Johnson administration, helped to enact regulations on flameproof fabrics and credit card billing.

Jane Lynch: Defying Norms on the Path to Success

Jane Lynch, a TV star who defied the norm, didn't launch her career until she was 40, almost a common age for budding TV personalities. Prior, she honed her craft in improv comedy and TV commercials before guest-starring in various '80s and '90s series. Now at 56, she credits nearly two decades of success to a blend of luck and circumstance.

Despite portraying comedic roles, Lynch candidly shared personal struggles in her 2011 memoir, "Happy Accidents." Her journey reflects a long battle with self-acceptance regarding her sexuality and overcoming alcoholism since her 30s.

Reflecting on her obstacles, Lynch identifies self-doubt as the biggest challenge, not her gender or sexuality. Despite her fame and social media presence, she persists, fueled by a passion for acting. Lynch views her earlier challenges as part of a rewarding path that led her to contentment.

Lynch advises aspiring actors against rigid life goals, advocating for embracing life's unpredictability. Her journey underscores finding fulfillment beyond predefined age-based milestones. She stands as a testament to embracing challenges and finding contentment on an unconventional path to success.

Until tomorrow,
