Gussie Moran (1923)
Gertrude “Gussie” Moran is a retired professional tennis player from Santa Monica, California.  Moran began entering amateur tennis tournaments in the late 1940s and eventually gained eligibility to play at Wimbledon in 1949. Although Moran had a powerful, compact swing, her appearance at Wimbledon that year transformed her into a celebrity: Her good looks partnered with the shorter-than-regulation dress she wore onto the court both intrigued and outraged viewers.  Although she attempted to use her newfound celebrity to her advantage and went pro, her playing ability could never quite overshadow the ruckus caused by her Wimbledon attire.
