Betty Gilpin was born in Lithuanian and emigrated to the United States in 1920. She had been a bright young student, excelling at mathematics and science as well as reading. From an early age she was interested in horses and was taken with a ride to the Grand Canyon on a camel.

Betty Gilpin attended the University of Arizona, where she earned a degree in geology and physics. She joined the scientific staff of the Survey of West Virginia Department of Mineral Development and soon became known for her work in the field of mineralogy. From there her path crossed with another great lady, explorer, and geologist, Ellen Mitchell. From that point on both women formed their own firms in their field of exploration and soon Gilpin moved to New York City. In her early life she became known for her geology knowledge and would collaborate with such well-known scientists as Eli Whitney andences Quimby.

As the years went by Gilpin slowly became a well established member of the science community. Film and TV shows featuring such luminaries as George Plimpton, Frank Capra, and James Dean helped greatly in popularizing the knowledge she had of the stars, the planets, and the stars. By the time of her death in June of2019 Betty Gilpin had written over sixty books. She was also an accomplished writer, having written several scripts for movies and plays. Another very important facet of Gilpin’s career was mentoring other women in both her personal life and in the fields she was studying. This was largely due to her realization that women have far more to contribute to science than was previously thought.

One of the many reasons why Betty Gilpin was able to rise to become an icon in the fields of science, space, and medicine is due to her association with women.

As the program was developed in the 1960’s it was known as the American Glove. Although it never came to be a fully fledged space vehicle, it did allow women to serve as astronauts during the Gemini Program. In her role as an astronaut Gilpin showed great strength and courage, and this served as an inspiration to many women throughout the world.

Additionally, Betty Gilpin was also nominated for Oscars for her performances in the comedies “All about Eve”, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”, and “Dabney Square”. Her appearance in the “E.T.” film earned her an Academy Award for Best Actress in a Leading Role, and she is often remembered as the only woman to win an Oscar for Best Actress in a Leading Role.

After her illustrious career on screen, Betty Gilpin decided to go into the acting business. She has had a number of stints in television, including appearances on “L.A. Law” and “Seinfeld”.
