Sherri Lou 'Dusty' Ellis was an American activist known for her role in the Kerr-McGee plutonium plant criminal case during the 1970s. Together with her roommate Karen Silkwood, she became a whistleblower after testing positive for plutonium contamination. Their activism for safer working conditions inspired the 1983 film 'Silkwood,' where Ellis was portrayed by Cher, who received an Oscar nomination for the role. After Silkwood's death, Ellis continued her fight against Kerr-McGee and engaged in legal battles for workers' rights.
