Marina Berlusconi is the daughter of Italy’s billionaire Prime Minister, Silvio Berlusconi. Marina had already obtained the post of Deputy Chair in a London boutique by the age of 18.
She holds several top positions in her father’s media empire, including being the Chairman of Italy’s largest magazine publisher, Mondadori.
She was been ranked among the 50 Most Powerful Women in Business outside of the U.S. by Fortune magazine for six years running (2001 – 2006), and ranked by Forbes as one of the 100 Most Powerful Women three times.
As far as I can tell, at the time this video was made, Jessica was born in 1985, and was 17 when this video was made.
She should now be 23. I have tried to find her on the internet, so I
can write her story, but have been unable to locate her.
(They say there are only six degrees of separation between everyone in
the world. I'm trying to connect with Jessica so I can
write more of her story; if anyone can help me find her, I would be most
grateful. Please click here to contact me. Thanks, Susan)
I found two videos about Barbara on YouTube; this is the second and I

Stacey McInroe Conner didn’t like to be called amazing, but by all accounts she was an incredible young woman.
Despite the fact that she was born without arms, she lived a full,
interesting and independent life, which included driving, horseback
riding, and attending university. She was a self-less volunteer who was
deeply committed to helping child amputees.
Stacey died as a result of an accident on May 24, 1990, shortly before her 23rd birthday.
Read more about her story as told in two tributes paid to her by her friends Bill and Joyce Baughn.
Born in New Orleans in 1916, Ruth Benerito studied at Sophie Newcomb College, the women’s college of Tulane University, earning a B.S. in chemistry in 1935. She received her M.S. from Tulane in 1938, and her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago in 1948.
During the second world war, Benerito developed an intravenous fat emulsion that could be used for intravenous feeding, contributing to the care of long-term medical patients.
In 1953 she patented the method to produce wrinkle free cotton, probably saving the American cotton industry. Throughout her career, she has received over 55 patents and many honors, including the Garvan Medal from the American Chemical Society and the Lemelson-MIT Lifetime Achievement Award.
After her retirement from research with the United States Agricultural Dept., she continued teaching Chemistry until the age of 81.
The link to this video came to me originally from Mrs. Ali of Dubai; she is a member of the AWR community.
As I don't understand either Mandarin or Cantonese Chinese, I asked my
new Taiwanese friend Vincent to translate this woman's name for me; he
said the English version would sound something like Jen Jimmi. If
anyone can help me any further with this woman's story, I would be
happy to have the information.
