An Inside Look Into the Private Life of Late Astronaut Sally Ride, as Told by Her Partner Tam (Exclusive Clip)
An Inside Look Into the Private Life of Late Astronaut Sally Ride, as Told by Her Partner Tam (Exclusive Clip) originally appeared on Parade. Tam O'Shaughnessy is sharing the true story of her 27-year relationship with iconic astronaut Sally Ride. In National Geographic's new documentary Sally, O'Shaughnessy, 73, gives insight into the pair's partnership for the first time ever, reflecting on their romance and the sacrifices they both made during their decades-long relationship. O'Shaughnessy and Ride were together until the astronaut's death from pancreatic cancer at age 61 in 2012. 🎬 SIGN UP for Parade's Daily newsletter to get the latest pop culture news & celebrity interviews delivered right to your inbox 🎬 'Most people only know of Sally as the first American woman in space. Of course, that was no small accomplishment! But Sally was so much more,' O'Shaughnessy exclusively tells Parade. 'She was an athlete, a physicist (she thought of herself as a physicist), a science writer and a champion of science education for all students. We kept our relationship private because of the culture of hostility and discrimination toward LGBTQ+ people at the time. Our families and close friends knew we were a couple, but few others did.' O'Shaughnessy goes on to tell Parade that a few days before Ride died in hospice, she told her she wanted to hold a celebration of life for friends, families and colleagues who helped them build their science education company, Sally Ride Science, as well as her friends at NASA. 'Suddenly I wondered out loud, 'Who am I going to be to the people who don't know we were a couple? Who am I going to be to the world?' Sally thought about it for a moment and then said, 'You decide. Whatever you decide will be the right thing to do,'' O'Shaughnessy recalls. 'Shortly after our conversation, I made up my mind. I decided to be honest. I was very proud of Sally, of our extraordinary relationship, and of the life we built together.' As for what it means to O'Shaughnessy that Sally will premiere during Pride month, the former professional tennis player says there's no better time, explaining to Parade what she hopes people from the LGBTQ+ community will take away from the documentary.

'Just like Sally, think for yourself and follow your heart. This message is especially crucial now, when the rights of the LGBTQ+ community are under attack. Always be true to yourself. That's how Sally lived her life, even though she kept a part of it private. It's a powerful and universal message.' Directed, written and produced by Emmy Award-winning director Cristina Costantini, Sally also features appearances by tennis legend and advocate Billie Jean King, ex-husband Steve Hawley, fellow NASA class of 1978 astronauts Kathy Sullivan, Anna Fisher and John Fabian, sister Bear Ride, mom Joyce Ride and longtime friend and journalist Lynn Sherr.

RTÉ has announced the appointment of a new Chief Risk and Compliance Officer (CRCO). Eleanor O'Shaughnessy is to take on the position at the national broadcaster following a public competition. The appointment of a Chief Risk Officer and a Chief Compliance Officer were among the key recommendations in the Expert Advisory Committee's Independent Review of Governance and Culture at RTÉ. The two roles have been amalgamated into the single position of CRCO.

She previously held senior risk management roles with Paddy Power Betfair/Flutter Entertainment Group, Deutsche Bank London, and as a consultant with KPMG Dublin, Accenture London and Deloitte London. As CRCO, Ms O'Shaughnessy will also be a member of RTÉ's leadership team. In her new role, she will be responsible for "developing and implementing a comprehensive risk management and compliance framework to ensure RTÉ operates within legal and regulatory requirements while maintaining the highest standards of integrity and ethical conduct".

In a statement, the broadcaster said Ms O'Shaughnessy's extensive expertise and leadership skills "will significantly contribute to strengthening RTÉ's risk and compliance culture, helping, along with the Leadership Team, to ensure robust governance, and supporting RTÉ's strategic objectives".

Former All-Star urges Limerick to let ‘fully grown monster' loose in order to halt Cork hypetrain
LIMERICK could let 'a fully grown monster' loose tomorrow at the TUS Gaelic Grounds as they attempt to show Cork that they remain hurling's scariest proposition. But former Treaty hero Andrew O'Shaughnessy has warned that the hosts must starve the Rebels' goal-hungry speed merchants if they are to take a big step closer to a SEVENTH straight Munster SHC title. 3 O'Shaughnessy feels Limerick will need to keep a particularly close eye on Darragh Fitzgibbon 3 Andrew O'Shaughnessy doesn't buy into the notion that the Treaty's stars have too many miles on the clock 3 He thinks very highly of 'The Bull' Shane O'Brien In their last five competitive outings, Cork have raised 19 green flags O'Shaughnessy believes a priority for Limerick will be to limit the influence of Darragh Fitzgibbon, who netted in a man-of-the-match display in last month's The Charleville ace, having again been named at centre-forward by Cork boss Pat Ryan, could be closely tracked by another man who was also nominated for the Hurler of the Year award in 2024. O'Shaughnessy told SunSport: "From midfield up, the Cork lads are all absolute flyers and they love to bomb forward. Read More On GAA "But with the angles he cuts and his pace going out wide and stuff, Darragh Fitz is just so dangerous. For Limerick to get a result, they'll need to curtail him a good bit. 'If he does end up mostly at centre-forward, he'll probably be on Kyle Hayes and that'd be an interesting battle. "Of all the Limerick players, the one you'd say who has the athleticism and the ability to get back at speed is Kyle Hayes." The early Championship trajectory of both teams has been somewhat similar going into the sold-out showdown on Shannonside. Most read in GAA Hurling Following a draw with Clare, After sharing the points in their opener against Tipp, Limerick made a statement with the manner of their victory over Waterford last time out. Dublin GAA legends reunite in Germany after taking part in gruelling sporting phenomenon With two home games to come in the round-robin phase, Treaty boss John Kiely admitted to being 'very happy with the broader picture' after seeing his side run out six-point winners at Walsh Park a fortnight ago. O'Shaughnessy said: "John Kiely often speaks about the importance of improving incrementally from game to game. "The Tipp game was one that Limerick could have won, but equally it was a game they should have lost so you would have been content enough with the draw. "But the improvement came against Waterford then, so there was a response from the players and you'd be hoping for the same thing again on Sunday. "But the improvement this time will need to be much bigger than what there was from the Tipp game to the Waterford game. "There's no denying that Cork are the form team and they're blitzing their opposition in the first 15, 20 minutes. The concern I'd have is negating their ability to get goals. "They've got goals on their mind any time they go forward. They're popping balls out to runners like Darragh Fitz and it's like a bombardment. "The naysayers would have you believe that Limerick have too much mileage in the legs to be dealing with that because they're starting to slow down. "Whether that's justified or not, I don't actually believe it myself but that aspect of what Cork are capable of is a concern all the same." DREAM DASHED Limerick were in pursuit of a fifth All-Ireland title in a row last summer, only for Cork's victory in an epic semi-final to scupper their hopes of achieving something unprecedented. It was the Leesiders' second Championship triumph over their neighbours in the space of eight weeks, as the Munster win at SuperValu Páirc Uí Chaoimh salvaged their season at a stage when it appeared to be on the brink of collapse. Still, when asked if the chance to settle a score will provide Limerick with an extra incentive, O'Shaughnessy insisted: "I don't think so whatsoever. "The way with this Limerick team has always been to focus on their own performance. "They'd have been annoyed with how they performed last year, not because it was Cork, but because of their own personal side of it and reflecting on the things that didn't go right and what they need to improve on. "It'll obviously be painted as a chance for payback after they were turned over twice by them last year, but I think these Limerick lads only look at themselves when it comes to righting the wrongs. "It's actually a different Cork team too because I think they're miles better now than they were this time last year. "This is a different situation and the past won't have any bearing on it." YOUNG BULL An All-Star forward in 2007, O'Shaughnessy's achievement was emulated by clubmate Graeme Mulcahy when he claimed an award in 2018. Mulcahy retired as a five-time All-Ireland winner last October. Nevertheless, the tradition of Kilmallock men playing key roles in the Limerick attack is being maintained. Having racked up 1-8 from play across the two Championship games so far this season, Shane O'Brien has shown no signs of difficulty in delivering on his vast potential. On the young man nicknamed The Bull, O'Shaughnessy said: "The biggest thing I like about Shane is that he's very grounded. "He's really dedicated to hurling and it's all-consuming for him. His attitude is excellent. "The fear you'd often have about young players coming into a team at this level is that they could maybe be forced out of games when things get quite physical. "And if that is the case, you say 'fair enough' because they're young and they're still developing. "But Shane is one of those fellas who you don't realise the actual size of the man until you stand beside him. He's only 20, 21 years of age but he's absolutely a fully grown monster. "He's carving out a good career for himself now and long may it last. It's good to see someone else from the club replacing Graeme as well. "He's a great representative of the club and we're extremely proud of him and how well he's doing." BORDER BOY As a native of Kilmallock, which is situated just a few kilometres from Limerick's border with Cork, the rivalry has always been keenly felt by O'Shaughnessy. Indeed, he spent a significant portion of his youth hurling beyond the frontier as a star of the St Colman's side who achieved three consecutive Harty Cup successes for the Cork school between 2001 and 2003. He explained: "Growing up, you were well aware of Cork's fantastic history and that Cork, Tipperary and Kilkenny were the standard-bearers. "Any time you'd meet Cork, especially being from Kilmallock, you were determined to beat them and it was great when you did, even though it was rare. 'The tide has turned lately and Limerick were in the driving seat up until the two games last year. But these things always go in cycles. 'We had our hot patch and we made it count. "Hopefully it's not over just yet but you have to be wise enough to know that other teams are coming now. And Cork are at the forefront of it."
