Maria Sharapova

Born: April 19, 1987
in Nyagan, Russia
Maria Sharapova is a world-class tennis champion, author, entrepreneur and founder of candy line, Sugarpova. Her passion for craftsmanship and detail is reflected in everything she does—both on and off the tennis court. After moving to the United States from Russia at age 6 to pursue her tennis career, Sharapova turned professional at age 14. She won Wimbledon at age 17—the first of her five career Grand Slam titles—and has been ranked No. 1 in the world by the WTA on five separate occasions. Sharapova was also the seventh female player in the open era to complete the career Grand Slam and the first female athlete to serve as the Olympic flag bearer for the Russian delegation. She chronicles much of her tennis career in her 2017 New York Times bestseller, Unstoppable: My Life so Far. Outside of tennis, Sharapova is an active founder, CEO and business investor. In 2012, she founded her premium candy line, Sugarpova, and has artfully designed and scaled all aspects of the company. Sharapova oversees the day-to-day decision-making and growth of the business—from creative branding and packaging to product R&D and retail expansion. She is also passionate about supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs—investing in several companies and participating in mentorship programs for women in business. Most recently, Sharapova mentored seven female business owners working across a wide range of industries through a program with the National Association of Women Business Owners (NAWBO). Sharapova has taken courses at Harvard Business School and is collaborating with architect Dan Meis on a new concept for boutique wellness centers. Sharapova brings a creative and hands-on approach to all of her projects, spanning tennis, business, design and more.

Title: The Early Show
Character: Self
Released: November 1, 1999
Type: TV
The Early Show is an American morning television show which was broadcast by CBS from New York City from 1999 to 2012. The program aired live from 7 to 9 a.m. Eastern Time Monday through Friday in the Eastern time zone; most affiliates in the Central, Mountain, and Pacific time zones aired the show on tape-delay from 7 to 9 a.m. local time. The Saturday edition aired live from 7 to 9 a.m. Eastern Time as well, but a number of affiliates did not carry it or aired it later on tape-delay. It premiered on November 1, 1999, and was the newest of the major networks' morning shows, although CBS has made several attempts to program in the morning slot since 1954. The show aired as a division of CBS News. The Early Show, like many of its predecessors, traditionally ran last in the ratings to its rivals, NBC's Today and ABC's Good Morning America. Much like NBC's The Today Show and The Tonight Show, the title The Early Show was analogous to that of CBS's late-night talk show, The Late Show. On November 15, 2011, CBS announced that a new morning show would replace The Early Show on January 9, 2012. CBS News chairman Jeff Fager and CBS News president David Rhodes stated that the new show would "redefine the morning television landscape." On December 1, it was announced that the new show would be titled CBS This Morning. The Early Show ended its twelve-year run on January 6, 2012, to make way for the program. Charlie Rose, Gayle King, and Erica Hill were named anchors of the new program.
