Biography

American broadcast journalist, reporter and anchor for CBS affiliates, a congressional correspondent. An attractive and ambitious blonde, she began in broadcast while still in high school in 1964. She worked for CBS for three years in Texas and five years in Philadelphia, PA before going national. There were reports that she moved up the ladder with her looks rather than her broadcasting skills and that she mumbled her news delivery, however there was no question that she was gifted in communicating with the TV camera, reaching her audience with impact. She won an award for her one-hour documentary "Lady Law."

Savitch's personal life was a running melodrama with one abortion, one miscarriage, anorexia, two failed marriages and a gradual immersion into cocaine and amphetamines. Her first marriage lasted ten months. Her second, to Dr. Donald Payne, ended after five months when she found him hanging by the dog's leash in the couple's Washington DC townhouse.

Driving with her fiancé on 10/23/1983, they had a bizarre accident. In the rain she turned into the canal, mistaking it for the road, and when the car plunged into the swollen canal, she drowned, New Hope, PA.

(Gar Osten quotes her for the same date, 1947, 11:55 AM. The paperback "Golden Girl" by Alanna Nash gives the same date, 1947, and reports that she sometimes gave out 1948.

Charlotte Ltutin in MH Ext 10/1986 reports that she was given the year 1948, 9:30 AM, over the phone by an employee of People magazine, and that "NBC, ABC and CBS plus her own book all give 1948." Library reference gives 1948, Kenneth Square, PA.)
