Alice Marble ruled the tennis court in the 30s and 40s. In 1939, she was ranked number 1 in the world. Among her most important and lasting accolades is her fight against the color line in Tennis in 1950. She hung out with the likes of Clark Gable and Carole Lombard, and she even had her own line of clothes. Yet, she is largely forgotten. Blais is working to fix that!
