A year before her infamous breakdown. This News Capsule followed Texaco Star Theater's "Opening Night" special and immediately preceded the 55th Miss America Pageant.

Great clip. Thanks for posting.

I've been fascinated by Jessica Savitch since reading "Golden Girl" a few years ago. It's a shame there are so few clips of her.

A few years ago (2006), someone posted the first 15 seconds of an NBC News Capsule from October 1, 1982. I saved the audio of it, but not the video.

Thanks for posting. I miss Jessica Savitch. I don't know if she was one of a kind or not, but it seems like it. They don't make them like her anymore.
