IQ3: Were you the OTHER infamous "birther"?

Dunno about the female lead of WH. Not Orrin Hatch; blanking on the blonde female birther's name.
O.
1. real
2. female
3. dead
4. died before 1900
5. American resident alien, as far as I can determine, but possibly was naturalized

I wouldn't get too hung up on #5; not particularly relevant as to why she's famous.
