Veteran broadcaster Connie Chung has a strain of marijuana and hundreds of Asian-American women as legacies.
Connie Chung attends the 50th Daytime Emmy Awards at The Westin Bonaventure Hotel & Suites, Los Angeles on Dec. 15, 2023.NEW YORK — Some public figures are honored with namesake buildings or monuments.
Chung’s career took her from Washington reporting for a fabled CBS News bureau in the 1970s through anchor jobs in Los Angeles and at NBC News and an with Dan Rather at the “CBS Evening News” in the 1990s to dodging the Barbara Walters-Diane Sawyer rivalry at ABC News. “There was quite literally no one else like her,” Wang said. “She was very professional, she was tough but also beautiful. What drew my mother to her was also her style. She cared so much about her appearance.”Chung was the 10th child — the only one born in the United States — of Chinese parents whose marriage had been arranged when they were 12 and 14 and met five years later on their wedding day.
Chung became a news anchor locally in Los Angeles and, in the 1980s, at NBC News. Yet she said she was saddled too often with what were considered “women's stories,” about miniskirts at the beginning of her career to celebrity profiles and tabloid fodder like “Scared Sexless,” about AIDS, at NBC.
