Cloning
Dolly, a Finn-Dorset ewe, was the first mammal to have been successfully cloned from an adult somatic cell. Dolly was formed by taking a cell from the udder of her 6-year old biological mother. Dolly's embryo was created by taking the cell and inserting it into a sheep ovum. It took 434 attempts before an embryo was successful. The embryo was then placed inside a female sheep that went through a normal pregnancy. She was cloned at the Roslin Institute in Scotland by British scientists Sir Ian Wilmut and Keith Campbell and lived there from her birth in 1996 until her death in 2003 when she was six. She was born on 5 July 1996 but not announced to the world until 22 February 1997. Her stuffed remains were placed at Edinburgh's Royal Museum, part of the National Museums of Scotland.
Dolores Donlon
Born in 1920, Donlon trimmed a few years off her age by claiming 1926 as the year of her birth. She began modeling in the mid-1940s under the name Pat Van Iver and acting in 1948 with uncredited walk-on parts in movies including "Dough Girls" and "Easter Parade". In 1946, she was elected Queen of the Ball by the New York Press Photographers Association. By 1954, she was playing credited roles in movies such as "The Long Wait" and "Security Risk", and appearing in television series. Her television credits include roles in "The Texan", "Richard Diamond, Private Detective", "Maverick", "Perry Mason", "The Jack Benny Program", "77 Sunset Strip" and "I Love Lucy".
