You can read all about Dorothy Dietrich here (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dorothy_Dietrich)

But all you really need to know is that someone shot a bullet into her face and she caught it in her mouth. She is the only woman to successfully accomplish this, and 12 people have died trying. I had dinner with her and a bunch of Woman in Magic. She was such a fascinating woman. She told us all about her violent childhood and her harrowing escape. And how Magic was what saved her all those years ago. Today she continues to wow people with her allusions and escape acts. She was such a lovely woman and I was so lucky to be able to meet her!
