Lisa Howard (April 24, 1926 – July 4, 1965) was an American journalist, writer, and television news anchor who previously had a career as an off-Broadway theater and soap opera actress. In the early 1960s, she became ABC News's first woman reporter, and was the first woman to have her own national network television news show. She developed a relationship with Cuba's Fidel Castro, whom she met to interview, and was a go-between for a time between Castro and the American White House. Her network career ended when she became openly involved in a New York political campaign during the 1964 election. In 1965, she suffered a miscarriage and depression, dying of an overdose of painkillers.[1]
Kinda tragic really.
