In headlines of bygone front pages, in the corners of underappreciated subcultures and in troves of their own home movies, they’re looking for stories that will connect with people — and say something meaningful. When the filmmaker Ben Proudfoot and my Op-Docs colleague Lindsay Crouse dreamed up our [Almost Famous](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRi48rVP0TtaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAyMS8wNy8yNy9vcGluaW9uL3B1bHNhcnMtam9jZWx5bi1iZWxsLWJ1cm5lbGwtYXN0cm9ub215Lmh0bWw_Y2FtcGFpZ25faWQ9MzkmZW1jPWVkaXRfdHlfMjAyMTA3MjgmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MzY0MTMmbmw9b3Bpbmlvbi10b2RheSZyZWdpX2lkPTc3Njc0OTUyJnNlZ21lbnRfaWQ9NjQ2MDgmdGU9MSZ1c2VyX2lkPWFhNDkxZWY3ZjFkOTY0ZTQ5NzlmYjc4NGU3NGUwMWQ3VwNueXRCCmD-1UUBYeCmDVhSG3RyaXN0cmFtYmFsZHdpbjkwQGdtYWlsLmNvbVgEAAAAAA~~) anthology of short films, they hit on a remarkably fruitful method for finding stories. Instead of focusing on the headlines of yesteryear, they looked … just to the side. Next to the story of the Project Mercury astronauts, there’s an extraordinary tale of a Black test pilot who [never made it to space](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRi48rVP0TaaHR0cHM6Ly93d3cubnl0aW1lcy5jb20vMjAxOS8xMi8xOC9vcGluaW9uL2VkLWR3aWdodC1hc3Ryb25hdXQuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zOSZlbWM9ZWRpdF90eV8yMDIxMDcyOCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0zNjQxMyZubD1vcGluaW9uLXRvZGF5JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD02NDYwOCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYP7VRQFh4KYNWFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA).

But these aren’t sour-grapes histories. The people in Proudfoot’s films leap off the screen with energy and humor. They argue not that life robbed them of their chance for success, but that success — and life — turned out to be something more complex and bittersweet than they expected. This week, we published a new chapter of Almost Famous.

Exotic star remnants that spin like cosmic lighthouses, pulsars have been called “the universe’s gift to physics” for the ways they allow astronomers to test the predictions of Einstein’s theory of general relativity. And their discovery soon resulted in a Nobel Prize for the Cambridge scientists who led the research — but not for Burnell.

What did bother her, however, was the intense sexism she faced in her career, in both the scientific world and the press. Reporters covering the discovery of pulsars cast Burnell as little more than an attractive young girl who had helped with the research, and even asked her for her bust and hip measurements. But the meaning of Burnell’s career comes not from the resistance she faced as a young woman in science, but from her undiminished passion for discovery, and how she used her renown ([when it came](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRi48rVP4QMAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm5wci5vcmcvMjAxOC8wOS8wNi82NDUyNTcxMTgvaW4tMTk3NC10aGV5LWdhdmUtdGhlLW5vYmVsLXRvLWhlci1zdXBlcnZpc29yLW5vdy1zaGVzLXdvbi1hLTMtbWlsbGlvbi1wcml6ZT9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD0zOSZlbWM9ZWRpdF90eV8yMDIxMDcyOCZpbnN0YW5jZV9pZD0zNjQxMyZubD1vcGluaW9uLXRvZGF5JnJlZ2lfaWQ9Nzc2NzQ5NTImc2VnbWVudF9pZD02NDYwOCZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKYP7VRQFh4KYNWFIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAA)) to help demolish hurdles for those who followed.
