  #1 would read more smoothly if you start combining sentences so you don't have so many short, simple sentences in succession. Like this: Marie Curie was a French physicist who was born in Poland. She discovered pure radium, and she is the only person to have ever been awarded two Nobel Prizes. #2 The sentence is correct, and your placement of the period before the closing quotation marks is also correct.
