Stephanie Edwards

In her nearly three-hour interview, Stephanie Edwards discusses her childhood in Minnesota and her intermittent success with acting upon moving west to Los Angeles. She recounts how journalist Ralph Story changed her life by advising her to "talk for a living" and appointing her co-host of his local L.A. talk show, Ralph Story's A.M. Edwards tells of her short-lived role as co-host of the ABC daytime morning show A.M. America in New York City, and comments on her dissatisfaction with the program and her subsequent return to Los Angeles to co-host Everyday with John Bennett Perry. She recalls her 18-year reign as spokesperson for Lucky Supermarkets and details her nearly 30 years as co-host of the annual Tournament of Roses Parade. Edwards explains behind-the-scenes details about the parade, touches on co-host Bob Eubanks' love of practical jokes, and shares tales of her favorite Grand Marshalls: Sully Sullenberger and Kermit the Frog. Joetta Di Bella conducted the interview on July 20, 2010 in North Hollywood, CA.
