🎬 Justine Johnstone appeared in three Broadway shows between 1911 and 1914. She became a favorite performer for her 1915 and 1916 editions of the Ziegfeld Follies. In 1917, the Broadway musical revue Over the Top was created for her, which featured Fred Astaire and his sister Adele Astaire in their Broadway debuts.
In 1926, she retired from performing for private life, which led her to enroll in science courses at Columbia University, where she studied plant research.
She conducted numerous experiments that led to the cure for syphilis and the development of the modern I.V. unit drip technique.
