View Full Version : Help me remember something........
I've been racking my brain for quite awhile, trying to remember this journalist. I think she worked for NBC. She was quite common on the news in the 80's-90s. She had dark short hair and was a little overweight and had a turned-up nose. Is it possible that its Anne Thompson, who is an NBC journalist now? If so, she's died her hair and lost alot of weight. This is one of those things I've gotten into my head and can't get it out. I'm trying to figure out if the present Anne Thompson used to look really different years ago. (Didn't we all? haha)
Thanks!

No, but thanks for trying. I'm really thinking that I'm remembering Anne Thompson. This was 25-30 years ago, so maybe she has just lost weight and dyed her hair blonde. The person I'm remembering did alot of White House reporting. I've tried to find her images from the past, but there aren't any.
Thanks AustinKat.
Haven't come up with anything (yet) for you, CathyA, but will keep-on searching.
Thanks Mrs.M. You'd think I'd be able to find pictures of her in that time span, but so far I haven't been able to.

CathyA, I think I know exactly who you are talking about, but I don't think it is Anne Thompson. I haven't been able to track down her name yet though. Will let you know if I find it and her photo, then we can figure out if it is the same person.
And I was thinking of you today - I read that they are bringing back "All My Children" and "One Life To Live" online. Said that they had just started production on new shows to be shown only online, thanks to the fans' demands. :) Thought that would be of interest to you - I remembered that you were a fan...
Edited to add: I think you are possibly thinking of Ann Compton.

How about it, CathyA? :)

Well, CathyA, was I right? cow-hi
I do believe you're right Wildflower! Whewww...........now I can get on with my life! haha
I was close.....they are both Ann(e)s! Gosh.....I totally forgot about Ann Compton.
Thanks Wildflower!!
About AMC............I hope I don't get hooked again. I found, after watching it everyday for probably 35 years, that when I quit watching it, my day really opened up and I didn't miss it at all. (I replaced it with The Big Valley though). Plus, we only have a limited amount of time on our internet each month, so I probably couldn't watch it. BUT.....I may take a peek! I wonder how many of the oldies will be back? It was getting pretty lame the last few years. But thanks for the heads-up. And an even bigger thanks for mentioning Ms. Compton! I didn't think to look at the other networks.

And now I can get on with my life too, LOL! I could picture her in my mind, but for the life of me couldn't remember her name either, so kept looking until I found a pic of her. I became a little obsessed with it! ;)
I don't know about AMC - I hadn't watched it in years, but was a big fan when my kids were little ones. Watched it everyday then. I just wonder if Susan Lucci will return....
LOL Wildflower..........funny that you became obsessed too! Seems like as I age, I have way too many moments of forgetfulness, and then the ensuing energy spent on trying to remember what I've forgotten!
If AMC returns, Susan Lucci will probably be the one and only person in it. haha
