Sportscaster

The Resume

    (1943- )
    Acted in 'The Big Fix'
    Hosted 'Judicial World Report'
    Wrote 'I'd Speak Out on the Issues if I Only Knew What to Say (1987)'
    Hosted 'The Jane Chastain Show -- Everything You've Always Wanted to Know About Sports But Were Afraid to Ask (1973)'

Why she might be annoying:

    She said: 'female physicians take fewer patients per hour, and choose to work fewer hours, than do male physicians. It's hard to point to a Glass Ceiling in a female doctor's own office.'

Why she might not be annoying:

    She is considered the first female sportscaster (Atlanta, 1963).
    She is the first national female sportscaster (CBS, 1974).
    She is the first female to report on the playing field of a major league baseball game.
    She is the first woman to report from the NASCAR pits.
    She won the Eclipse Award for covering thoroughbreds.
    She said: 'I was never in favor of women going into men's locker rooms... You still will not find any men demanding access... to the females' dressing rooms. They have not allowed male reporters in there. And yet on the other side, in the male locker room, everyone is afraid to say no... I think it shows that men have more respect for women than sometimes women do for men... It makes me embarrassed for my sex, quite frankly.'
