[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would add Katie Couric to the list.

She was the first woman to anchor the evening news, solo. And supposedly ratings tanked, and she was essentially relegated to what? Internet streaming services or something. People were just brutal to her. And apparently they weren't at all ready for a woman anchor in the evening news, which was supposed to be a "serious" spot. One of her big news stories was an exclusive photo of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes baby girl. LoL. [/quote]

she is not an [b]ACTOR [/b]start another thread[/quote]

Well, she is listed on IMDB as Writer, Producer, Actress. She's not really considered a serious journalist. She has 12 credits to her name as an "actress."

You don't really get IMDB, or how movies work, do you? Every single one of those "actress" credits is her appearing as herself. Have you never seen a single movie that used a real-life news anchor or TV reporter in a scene wehre they're appearing on a TV as themselves? It's not acting. It's called a cameo. And many anchors and reporters have done them, both American anchors etc. and ones in other countries' movies as well. IMDB stupidly lists such appearances under "acting" but you seem to think she's playing roles.

If you bothered to read the Wikipedia entry about her, rather than IMDB, you'd see that she's "considered a serious journalist." She's moved out of higher-profile reporting and anchoring for sure, but hell, she's 66, spent decades in both hosting, anchoring and reporting jobs and can run whatever "media company" she wants at this point. It's odd that you want to treat her like young actors who had a couple of good roles then vanished, when she's had a very long and varied career. [/quote]
