Meets DYK requirements for length and recent creation. The hook is verified by the source and no copyvios were detected. An interesting subject, especially for Deadheads. Adding this DYK to Special holding area for March (Women's History Month). @Ritchie333: Suggest including "(born 1944)" to the Lead sentence per MOS:DOB, since she mentions it in the NPR interview, ref #2.
