Albright was born in Czechoslovakia. Her family was driven out by Nazi storm troopers and then by communists and moved to Denver in 1948. "Denver is where I grew up believing in the American dream," she said in her speech at the Democratic National Convention in 2008 in Denver, an event she described as "a homecoming." In high school she won the Rocky Mountain Empire Award "for reciting, in alphabetical order, the 51 members of the United Nations." Her father, Josef Korbelova, was the founding dean of the Graduate School of International Studies at the University of Denver. Albright attended Kent Denver School and held a summer job at the Denver Post where she met her former husband, Joseph Medill Patterson Albright. She served as the first woman Secretary of State from 1997 to 2001 under President Bill Clinton. An exhibit showcasing her jewelry titled "Read My Pins: The Madeleine Albright Collection" was featured at the Denver Art Museum in 2012. (credit: PHILIPPE LOPEZ/AFP/Getty Images)
