With all this talk about Andrea Mitchell (b. 1946), perhaps it's time for her own thread? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dimreaper 713 Posted November 1 Hard to find anything noteworthy about her career, with the exception of her priceless reaction to a crude joke the late Foster Freiss made on her show back in 2012. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gcreptile 11,061 Posted November 1 A Washington creature with no distinguishing achievements or qualities. I think she could have remained in the Greenspan thread. She's just going to dim away in the next 5 years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RetroGamer47 433 Posted November 1 I personally have never heard of her outside of being Greenspans wife either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tracy 2,461 Posted November 1 41 minutes ago, Paul Bearer said: Never heard of her. How famous is she She's been an NBC correspondent since 1978 and has 2M Twitter followers. She's definitely very well-known, but she never really hit "celebrity" status because she never anchored her own show until 2008, when she was well past her prime. Other than that, well, she's not gonna die any time soon, obviously. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dimreaper 713 Posted November 1 I mean she's a well known journalist and broadcaster with decades of experience, but beyond that, I cannot think of any major career accomplishments and fandom. Honestly, some like Bob Schieffer would be a more worthy candidate for their own thread than her. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lafaucheuse 4,073 Posted November 1 I'm not saying this very often but this one person doesn't deserve her own thread at all. No known health issue, she's not that old, just she left her show. There's a million people who doesn't have their own thread because of the sacrosanct objection of certain users here to create new thread and who would deserve it more than her. I remember much more useful thread for way more prominent celeb way closer to death being debated, yet this one is bound to stay. Weird imho. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zsa Zsa's leg 886 Posted November 1 She's well known in the US. She's no Brokaw or Rather, but anybody who follows politics here has heard of her. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
livingbygrace 419 Posted November 1 I know of her being in the U.S.. but if the UK people here have no clue who she is I agree there are plenty of threads to discuss her without her having her own thread. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
