Dead: Peggy Charren. Who? Founded Action for Children's Television, which ushered out the age of kids' TV that sold toys and cereal and ushered in more good-for-you shows.

Plus, she was aggressively against free speech restrictions, which balances out the whole educational thing in my eyes. She did it right. (Boston Globe)
