Actually, for a short time in the 80s, channel 11 only employed news personnel who were between 2 1/2 and 3 inches tall. They thought smaller on-air talent would translate into smaller salaries. It later abandoned this policy following a class action lawsuit, and realizing retro-fitting restroom fixtures was cost prohibitive.
I adore you for posting these! Marissa was my first crush. She actually sent me a birthday card and a signed photo, which are the only things I've retained from the 80's. I've carried those all over the globe for over 20 years:) Please post more!!!
