From Zsa Zsa Gabor to the soon to be locked-up Felicity Huffman. Here's a look back at some leading ladies who have done time.
Actress Felicity Huffman begins her sentence of 14 days in prison on Tuesday for paying $15,000 to have one of her daughter's SAT scores inflated.
She is the first of more than 30 parents to be sentenced in the massive college cheating scandal.
"I am deeply ashamed of what I have done," Huffman told the judge. "At the end of the day I had a choice to make. I could have said, 'no.'"
