And yet, we have video footage of her with brown eyes, and hard-to-find articles about her brown eyes.
I can no longer find it, but I distinctly remember a video of an ex-Clinton aide giving a bit of a speech in a bookshop to a small group of people, where he offhandedly mentions being confused about her eye colour changing.
I wish I could find that.
Seems like the Clinton machine really worked to retcon history.
Drudge was claiming she has worn blue contacts since youth and to me that seems plausible given we seemingly only have one example with brown eyes. Couldn't get her contacts that day?
The fact about all Presidents being blue eyed is also pretty crazy.
I wore 'hard contact lenses' starting in 1965, but they were tinted on a transparent, see-through plastic. I wore about every available type of lens over the course of 33 years (hard, soft, gas permeable, toric, Saturn 2, etc.) until I had Lasik surgery. But back in the 60's, 70's and into the 80's there were no lifelike or believable opaque or occlusive lenses like are readily available today.
Today's options include being able to completely mask or camouflage one's natural color to any other color. But back then, if you put a blue, or a green lens over a dark brown eye, it still looked brown.

Don’t think colored contacts were mass produced til the 80s- Killary was an adult by then.
No, I had them in the 60s.
Not the kind you are thinking of...
