From KETC, LIVING ST. LOUIS Producer Ruth Ezell profiles the life and career of former St. Louis Post-Dispatch fashion columnist, Elaine Viets. She is currently writing a series of novels about women at dead-end jobs--which she researches by trying the jobs herself.
Thank you so much for posting this interview! I've been a huge fan of Ms. Viets for awhile, but much of this background is news to me. She's had a very interesting career and life, and have even more respect for her than before. I also have to say, if I were staying in a hotel, knowing Ms. Viets was cleaning my room, I'd leave a jacket or trousers behind with money sticking out of the pockets, and a note with one of her books, saying: "All of this could yours for an autograph".
