After this victory, she adopted the stage name "Sandwina" as a feminine derivative of Sandow.≈ Sandwina worked in the United States with Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus for many years, until she was nearly 60. One of her standard performance feats was lifting her husband (who weighed 165 pounds) overhead with one hand. She performed many other feats, such as bending steel bars and resisting the pull of four horses. Sandwina's record of an overhead lift of 296 pounds (129 kg) stood for many years until being eclipsed by women's weightlifter Karyn Marshall in 1987. Reporter Marguerite Martyn described her act when the circus came to St. Louis, Missouri, in 1911:  At the moment she was twirling her husband about in dizzy circles above her head . . . . Carelessly, laughingly, she tosses her husband about as though he were not flesh and bone, but merely an effigy of inflated rubber. And he is no insignificant husband, either. The couple had two sons: Theodore Sandwina, born in Sioux City, Iowa, who was a champion heavyweight boxer in the 1920s; and Alfred Sandwina, who was an actor. In her later years, Katie and her husband operated a bar and grill restaurant in Ridgewood, Queens, New York. They advertised it as belonging to the world's strongest woman and Katie would occasionally perform minor feats of strength to entertain their patrons, including breaking iron chains, bending iron bars, and using her husband as a human barbell. Katie Sandwina died of cancer on January 21, 1952. Immortal (Highlander)  An Immortal is one of a group of fictional characters seen in the movies and series of the Highlander franchise. Since they are immune to disease and stop aging after becoming Immortals, they can live forever and die only when they are beheaded. The Immortals were first introduced in "Highlander" in 1986. They were created by script writer Gregory Widen who, according to Bill Panzer, producer of the "Highlander" franchise, "was a student at film school, and he wrote this as his writing class project. He was apparently travelling through Scotland on his summer vacation and he was standing in front of a suit of armor, and he wondered, 'What would it be like if that guy was alive today?' And that's where everything fell into place — the idea that there are Immortals and they were in conflict with each other, leading secret lives that the rest of us are unaware of."
