Kathryn Cravens (1898-1991), actress, author and news correspondent,
began her career on radio as a performer. She hosted the program, "News
Through a Woman's Eyes" in the 1930s before working for CBS New York,
becoming one of the first women to broadcast coast to coast. She also ran her
own news syndicate that featured stories and poems from her traveling days as
the "Flying Reporter"--a travelling project she started to help prove airlines
were safe. During World War II Cravens became the first woman accredited as a
wartime radio correspondent when she was assigned to Europe, Asia and the Middle
East. Also a radio interview host, she interviewed a wide variety of
American stars, from Franklin D. Roosevelt to Shirley Temple. Normal mailing
