Answer:
Aimee Mullins (born July 20, 1975) is an American athlete, actress, and public speaker. She was born with a medical condition that resulted in the amputation of both of her lower legs. She is famous for being the first amputee to compete against able-bodied athletes in National Collegiate Athletic Association events, and competed in the Paralympics in 1996 in Atlanta. In 1999 she began modeling, and in 2002 she began an acting career. Because of her curiosity, can-do attitude and ground breaking prosthetic legs she used in athletic events, she was invited to speak at many conferences. She is well known for her inspirational TED talks.
