All it takes is a good idea (I have lots!), a great group of fun-loving women, a little planning, and great things happen!!

Girls in the Windows, 1960.

This iconic photograph shows 43 women in colorful clothing posing in 41 windows of a condemned brownstone building in Manhattan.

It was the summer of 1960, and photographer Ormond Gigli was working in his studio on 58th Street, across the street from a group of brownstones that were about to be demolished. The windows had been removed and Gigli had an idea of photographing a group of women, one in each of the window openings, wearing formalwear.

The demolition supervisor agreed to let Gigli go ahead – as long as his wife could be in the photograph. Gigli could shoot the next day during the worker’s lunch hour. When the workers returned after lunch, the building would be pulled down.

Gigli and his staff only had 24 hours to plan the photo, find volunteer models to pose for the shot, and get permission from the city. There was a gaping hole in front of the building so they also located a Rolls-Royce to sit on the sidewalk in front.

Word went out to local modeling agencies, and plenty of people volunteered to take part. The sun shone, the weather was lovely, and the photo shoot took an hour. After the photo was taken, the models left, and the building came down.

Today we remember Betty White on what would have been her 100th birthday. A pioneer in the entertainment industry, White was the first woman to produce a sitcom -- the nationally syndicated "Life with Elizabeth" which premiered in 1952 -- and one of the first women to have full creative control in front of and behind the camera. Due to her influence on the industry and her trailblazing nature, she was given the honorary title of "Mayor of Hollywood" in 1955. With a career that has spanned over 80 years, she was recognized by the Guinness World Records as having the longest career of any female entertainer in the world. A lifelong animal advocate, many fans have committed to donating to their local animal shelter or rescue in honor of her 100th birthday.

To share Betty White's incredible story with children, there's a wonderful new picture book "My Little Golden Book About Betty White" for ages 4 to 8 at https://www.amightygirl.com/little-golden-book-betty-white

White was also the author of two inspiring memoirs: "If You Ask Me: (And of Course You Won't)" (http://amzn.to/2DamI0L) and "Here We Go Again: My Life In Television" (http://amzn.to/1BGZmuh)

For adult readers, we also highly recommend the new book "When Women Invented Television" about Betty White and three other women who helped create modern television at https://www.amightygirl.com/when-women-invented-television
