The Iconic Celebrities We Had No Idea Are Still Alive
Billie Jean King (Born In 1943) – Women’s Tennis Association
Don’t be fooled by Billie Jean King’s amicable look: on the tennis court, she was as brutal as it gets. Her determination and competitiveness allowed her to become the number 1 tennis player in the world and land a whopping 39 Grand Slam titles. Considered to be one of the best tennis players of all time, she founded the Women’s Tennis Association in the United States.
In pop culture, King is known for having won a highly publicized 1973 tennis match against Bobby Riggs, a male professional tennis player. Still relevant as a tennis promoter and public figure, she was featured in the 2021 documentary “Citizen Ashe.”
