You may remember her best as a game show panelist, but in this fascinating presentation you’ll learn how she was a pioneer for women in journalism – the first woman to be a murder reporter in the USA, how she was instrumental in getting a new trial for Dr. Sam Sheppard, and how she convinced Jack Ruby to tell her his story –to die mysteriously without revealing all she knew.
