R.I.P Margaret Moth



CNN camerawoman Margaret Moth died on Sunday of cancer.

Moth was famous for her fearlessness and her flair, and with good reason. She was actually shot in the face in Sarajevo while on assignment, only to survive and eventually go back to work. She also changed her name to "have her own," rather than continue on with her father's that was handed down to her.

check out this documentary about her...it's appropriately called "fearless"
