Henrietta Ónodi is a Hungarian artistic gymnast. She competed at the 1992 and 1996 Olympics and won a gold and a silver medal in 1992. After retiring from gymnastics in 1997 she moved to the United States, married American Olympic pentathlete Jimbo Haley, and became a naturalized U.S. citizen. In 2010 she was inducted into the International Gymnastics Hall of Fame. Ónodi, also known as "Henni" in the gymnastics community, began gymnastics in 1978 and made her international debut in 1986. Too young to qualify for the 1988 Olympics, she made her senior debut in 1989 and represented Hungary at the World Championships that year, where she placed 19th in the all-around and 5th in the balance beam event finals. Over the next few years, Ónodi established herself as a medal contender at major events. In 1989 she became the first female Hungarian gymnast to medal at the European Championships with a gold on the uneven bars; at the 1990 Europeans she placed third in the all-around and the floor exercise. In 1990, she also finished third in the all-around at the Goodwill Games and the World Cup where she won the vault event. At the 1991 World Championships Ónodi suffered a sudden back injury but was able to win a silver medal on vault and helped the Hungarian squad qualify for the 1992 Olympics with an eighth-place finish in the team final.
Henrietta Lacks is the originator of the "HeLa" cell line used in medical research. She was born Loretta Pleasant in 1920, and died of cervical cancer in 1951. A biopsy of cells from her cervical tumor were taken from her without her consent and continued growing in cell cultures.
That's not true--you make it sound like she was just walking down the street and they jumped out and stole her cancer cells: she signed permission slips when she was admitted to Johns Hopkins for the cancer to be used in research. Which is pretty standard, it's not like they give you a little baggie with your cancer cells to take with you when you leave the hospital. Her lowlife husband insisted that they'd been ripped off, but the same guy never even went with her to the hospital for treatments and allowed her daughter to be molested by his 'friends' after Henrietta's death (and was also Henrietta's first cousin). The real scandal of it all was that, because of medical confidentiality laws, that daughter, who also had cancer when she was in her 30s, didn't know that her mother had had this extremely aggressive form of cervical cancer! But the only person who could have told her was HER FATHER. Who was not exactly father of the year... One of Henrietta Lacks' sons said that he liked to think his mother would have been pleased that her cells had helped save lives and advance science.
This name was first introduced to the British Isles by Henriette Marie (1606-69), the French princess who married Charles I. She was known to the English as Queen Henrietta Maria.
