This clip tells you everything you need to know about why Savitch rose so far so fast. As biographer Gwenda Blair says, Savitch had a "red light reflex to die for." No matter how tired or harried or troubled, once the camera came on she was a professional, trustworthy journalist, not merely a newsreader, and that twinkle in her eye as she relayed the offbeat news of the day was a gift few have improved on since.

Perhaps the best looking News Anchor of all time

Blow will give one that.

She aged so much between 78 and 83.

wow she was actually sober??? I guess there's a "first time" for everything....
-
Type in her name on Wikipedia and it gives a good account of her life and career. She had a troubled personal life which eventually bled through to wind up being seen in front of the camera.....one can only wonder if she had been able to rein in her problems, how and where would she have gone in her career, had it not been for her auto accident.

I love Jessica Savitch!

She was a absolute fox, what a shame for her to have left at such a young age. She was a very bright star.
Agreed-i've said it before, Jessica was a big deal in her day.

I've noticed that, in the days of the overwhelmingly large Vizmo screen, Jessica Savitch's updates nearly always ended with the camera zooming in on her. As far as I can tell, no one else got this over-the-top "glamour shot" treatment!
