    Here's a true story that outshines a hundred fake ones!
    I knew a little about her, but this PBS show really puts some background on the fable. The real story is absolutely amazing! As several people in the PBS show mentioned, if you made this up, no one would believe it. In 1860 she had pierced ears!

    Anyhow, I'll find the entire episode if anyone likes. Now I'm watching Catherine The Great [img]smile.gif[/img] getting closer to my genetic tree, Lmao!

    This was on my PBS station tonight. Didn't get to see much of it, but agree that she was fascinating.
