Hear Them Roar















The Sunday issue of the Lexington Herald-Leader contained an article about famous Kentucky women. While you probably knew that actress Ashley Judd was from the Bluegrass State, did you know that Florence Henderson, aka Mrs. Brady from the Brady Bunch, was from Kentucky too?

To find out which other famous ladies made the list, stop by the library or read the article online by clicking on the above article link.
