The life and times of one of America's icons, aviator Amelia Earhart, will be the subject of The Halli Casser-Jayne Show, Talk Radio for Fine Minds, Wednesday, January 9, 3 pm ET when joining Halli will be Susan Butler, the author of East to Dawn, The Life of Amelia Earhart, the book that inspired the movie Amelia; Louise Foudrey, Earhart historian and keeper of the Amelia Earhart Museum; Bram Kleppner, great-nephew of Amelia Earhart; aviator and author Ann Pelegreno who in 1967 recreated Earhart's 1937 flight plan; Tod Swindell, a twenty year member of the Directors Guild of America and a veteran of over fifty major productions who has researched extensively the disappearance of the famed aviator and has his own ideas about what happened to Amelia Earhart. Gorgeous, an adventurer, a feminist, aviator Amelia Earhart was born on July 24, 1897 in Atchison, Kansas. In 1923, Earhart, fondly known as "Lady Lindy," became the 16th woman to be issued a pilot's license. She had several notable flights, becoming the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean in 1928, as well as the first person to fly over both the Atlantic and Pacific. In 1937, she mysteriously disappeared while trying to circumnavigate the globe from the equator. Since then, several theories have formed regarding Earhart's last days, many of which have been connected to various artifacts that have been found on Pacific islands—including clothing, tools and, more recently, freckle cream. Earhart was legally declared dead in 1939. The Halli Casser-Jayne Show is Talk Radio for Fine Minds and Lovers of American Icons.
