For those of you who, like me, had never heard of her: she's acted in several movies, did runway shows for Alexander McQueen, set records competing on Georgetown's Division I NCAA track team and at 17 became the youngest person ever to receive top-secret security clearance from the Pentagon.
Oh yeah, and both her legs were amputated below the knee when she was a year old.
