No, not her

She was born in 1907 and died in 1954, soon after her 47th birthday

Tim Vine holds the record for the most jokes in a minute as well if my memory serves me right. Best joke of the year he has won two or three times and runner up a few times.

The answer was the fantastic artist Frida Kahlo who appeared on a US stamp on 21st June 2001

I think we may need a bit more of a clue with this one Lincs. I pressume she was famous but in which field. Arts, politics, films, science, poetry, explorer, sport ?

I might be wrong but think the clue you are looking for is in the quote from post 871; "the answer was, the fantastic artist Frida Kaloh!"

Frida Kahlo was Mexican, Eva Peron was Argentine. Frida only had eyebrow, and her lovers included Leon Trotsky before he got the icepick.

Dodgy wording in the question my dear chap; 3 vowels AND a double ewe? Not quite!
