Hetty King (1883-1972) was an English entertainer who performed in the music halls in a role that we know today as drag king. For over 70 years!
In 1907, she travelled to the US and broke all records at the New York Theatre, performing songs including "I Want a Gibson Girl"...

SDF public safety officer Jonathan Biven just said the death count of UPS crash is now 4, but he also said the plane "went down three miles south of the airfield," which is simply false. Unclear if it ever left the ground, and 3 miles is south of the Gene Snyder... not remotely close.
