Noted: Ms. Bartz was largely raised by her grandmother in Wisconsin after the death of her mother when she was 8. She paid her way through two years at a small college in Missouri serving food in the campus cafeteria and then transferred to the University of Wisconsin-Madison to major in computer science. There she endured all that comes with a cocktail waitress job in which she had to wear a red miniskirt, fishnet stockings and a red feather in her hair, according to a profile of her in More magazine.
