NewsChannel5 Legend Opens Doors At Station
Dorothy Fuldheim was a legend in television and her presence is still felt at NewsChannel5. Fuldheim was one of the unique personalities of the television world, starting her TV career at the age of 54, after retiring from elementary teaching. She was able to break barriers for women by having her own news program and to become a news analyst when women weren't typically in the news business. Fuldheim was the first female news anchor in the country. She got her television start on NewsChannel5 in 1947.
And it is believed that she still roams the newsroom at East 30th Street and Euclid Avenue. Her office has now been taken over by newsroom management, but employees say she makes herself known. The door to her old office often opens by itself. The occupants can't explain it, but know that Fulheim is just checking in. If you check the picture in the camera, her office is in the far right-hand corner. The newsroom has changed over the years, but the location of the offices have remained. Those rooms used to be offices for the anchors and talent at the station. Let us know if you see Fuldheim on camera in the newsroom. She talked with a lot of famous people during her time on the air. Fuldheim interviewed Adolph Hitler; the Duke of Windsor; the Shah of Iran; John, Robert and Ted Kennedy; James Hoffa; Barbara Walters; Helen Keller; Albert Einstein; Muhammed Ali; Hubert Humphrey; Bob Hope; Dr. Martin Luther King and Tennessee Williams, among many others. She traveled the world having experienced the riots of Hitler's Nazis and Palestine's War of Independence. She also covered the Royal Wedding as well as Sadat's funeral. Because of her popularity, she appeared as a guest on national television talk shows, such as The Tonight Show, Good Morning America, The Larry King Show and Phil Donahue, as well as other programs throughout Canada and Great Britain. She fearlessly supported causes no matter how unpopular the decision; which gained her a reputation of strong opinions, brilliant expression, integrity and deep human compassion. Staff members say having Fuldheim around is not scary, but comforting.
