Ireland- A perfect Combination of Beauty and Brains!

Readers,
when I as a layman look at successful people,I think what makes them so different? But at the very next moment I answer myself'   ' Yes, Everything!' Here I am trying to bring you the world's best business women and their biographies.This time I am presenting  Ireland! A model,actress turned business woman! She started working from the tender age.

Kathleen Marie was born on March 20 1963. After working as model and actress she became CEO of her own company which was called Eponymous. A brand product marketing company,  well known in the world. Kathy is called as ‘Ireland’ also. John and Barbara were her parents. Ireland’s parents were working for charity. Ireland, being beautiful, attracted many people. An agent brought her to the lime light. From 1984, Ireland was seen in sports illustrated swimsuit issue for the next 13 years. She kept on appearing on multiple issues for a long time. She was again seen on the front page in 1994, that time she was pregnant!

Ireland also appeared on television and films. In 1993, Ireland put her signature on a line of socks. They sold like hot cakes in the market. Seeing the over whelming response she thought of opening her own establishment called ‘Kathy Ireland Worldwide.’  1994 she published videos on health and fitness. In 2004 she was marketing products from 16 manufacturers. She was enlisted in Forbes as ‘prototype for model-turned –mogul.’ Ireland wrote so many books for children and moms.

Kathy turned out to be a Christian as she took interest in reading the Bible at the age of 18 years.  She studied medical books as her husband is Dr. Greg Olsen. In 2007 Ireland spoke regarding eradicating the poverty on August 13 at the United Nations.  She had become a professional orator to give convincing speeches.  Ireland spoke beautifully and had hit the dart. Again in 2009 Ireland appeared on ‘Larry King’ show to discuss health issues of women. She had slightly put on weight by that time!

  1. While I enjoy being identified as "beauty and brains," even though I was just a "dumb girl from the Bronx," reading this article and learning more about Katherine Marie Ireland, we still live in a male-centric world. I believe the situation for leading career women is getting worse and there is a lot more we can all do to change the status quo. We all need to keep on communicating effectively about issues preventing women achieve higher levels of success to overcome this obstacle.
