Am I the only one who has never cared about Amelia Earhart? How come nobody talks about her navigator?

At one point not too long ago I realized that all I really knew about her was her mysterious disappearance in the Pacific, so I had to go read up on her. She was actually a pretty interesting person with an impressive number of accomplishments.
