A portrait of the late singer and actress Rosemary Clooney is one of four new portraits hanging in the Kentucky Capitol.
Clooney, a Maysville native, died in 2002 at age 74.
Other portraits are of Kentucky first lady Judi Conway Patton, in honor of her advocacy for victims of domestic violence, child abuse and breast cancer; Katherine Peden, the first female U.S. Senate candidate in Kentucky and a leader in economic development; and Jean Ritchie, a songwriter, author and champion of traditional folk music.

The portraits are part of the Kentucky Women Remembered exhibit, which honors women who made outstanding contributions to the state.
