You should go read Joe's post about Zelda Rubinstein, who just died at age 76:
I never lived in Los Angeles, but I remember seeing those ads; probably in the Advocate or some other, more pictorial (ahem!) magazines back then.
Never knew anything about Zelda, but what a sweetheart she was. And even though her career took a big hit, totally unafraid to do the right thing. Bless her, and God rest her soul.
Which does remind me of my own mother's character: and perhaps she instilled in me some of that moral courage, which is much more rare than the physical kind. And therefore more worthy of our praise.
