Wilma's best years occurred during the 1920s and 30s, when she peaked at #62 in 1925.   After 1950, though, she quickly fell out of favor, disappearing after 1973.

She did experience a 5-point boost in popularity from 1960 (#362) to 1961 (#357), which could be attributed to...

(a) Wilma Rudolph (won 3 gold medals in the 1960 summer Olympics)

(b) Wilma Flintstone (first prime-time animation show, premiered on September 30, 1960)

(c) Both

(d) Neither
