Interesting side note: Dorothy Fuldheim (the older redhead in the video) was the first female commentator for ABC Radio, and interviewed both Hitler and Mussolini either before or during World War 2 (conflicting info on that, and too bad she didn’t get Hirohito for the hat trick). She was also the first woman in the US to anchor a TV news show. Her TV career ended in 1984 at the age of 91, when she had a stroke on the air. She died five years later. Best one page bio I found is here. Bonus video:
