For decades, working women have had to struggle with balancing their work duties with the requirements of their families as well, and Judith Cohen was no exception.

In the summer of 1969, an unspecified "engineering problem" popped up at NASA, and Cohen decided to take a crack at it. However, at the time, she was in the advanced stages of pregnancy, the bun in her oven being the future Mr. Jack Black.

Black's brother, Neil, wrote that their mother visited her office on the day that Jack would be born (August 28, 1969). And when it came time to deliver her son, Ms. Cohen continued to work even as she convalesced in a hospital bed.

"When it was time to go to the hospital, she took with her a computer printout of the problem she was working on. Later that day, she called her boss and told him that she had solved the problem. And... oh, yes, the baby was born, too," Siegel wrote in his mother's obituary, via the University of Southern California.
