I always thought she smiled with her eyes. She had the most beautiful eyes.

Growing up I used to watch Jessica Savitch. Such a talented lady. When it was announced she died with Chewy I cried. Thank you Jessica for your class, dedication and leading the way for so many.

RIP!! JESSICA SAVITCH!!

HARD TO BELIEVE 41 YEARS SINCE JESSICA SAVITCH,S DEATH IN A CAR ACCIDENT IN 1983!! I was 11 years old in 1983.😢😢😢that poor woman--even though her personal life was a mess but she still worked herself to almost death breaking ground in tv news & covering events etc...married twice but sadly the 2nd husband takes his own life leaving a big empty hole in Jessica,s heart while she returned to work to anchor The NBC NIGHTLY NEWS weekend edition but that last clip she definitely felt 😢😭 sad & 😩😴 tired!! But then to add insult to 🤕 injury Jessica,s life had to be cut short at age 36!!--WHY?! 🤬 😡 DAMN SHAME beautiful gorgeous woman in the prime of her life cut short!! AGAIN WHY?! 😡 🤬😢 Sometimes life is a crock!! Another thing Love sucks 😞😔 & later on it kills you like a cancer.

I absolutely loved to see her. She was one of the very best!

Cocaine is a powerful drug.

She really had it all: warmth, apparent integrity, objective journalism. When she looked into the camera, it was as though she were sitting across your kitchen table. Remember when the major news programs actually reported news in ways that appearted fair, balanced, and as complete as the time slot would allow? Remember when they presented facts concisely and inflammatory adjectives and opinions not at all (except in commentaries clearly labelled as such). Nowadays, of course, all that is gone as agendas of division are pushed by the millionaire anchors and ignorance of facts is demanded. So sad to see what has happened to the once-high premium placed on accuracy and honesty.

She loved cocaine

A man ahead of his time 😇

40 years after her death and Jessica still has a following. No doubt her personal life was a mess but Jessica inspired a lot of women and broke down barriers. That last clip of her on the NBC Nightly News set is from her return to work after her 2nd husband's suicide. You can see a little sadness her face.

Jessica Savitch always came across as very down to Earth yet professional. That's a tip for anyone wishing to follow in her footsteps because when I witnessed students in a media curriculum at a different college, they seemed (at least for when I briefly saw them) to value fame over curiosity and investigation. Good Journalism must always be the first priority for media students. Presence will come naturally to anyone who is well prepared and understands the issue(s) very well.

Who did this shit?

Hats off j.s. imagine the knocks on women's head's due to that 6' glass ceiling...thanks to the women who hung in back in 60s-70s 👍❤️👍

Great pics and video hard to find.

I remember turning on NBC News being presented by Jessica Savich sometime in the late 70's. She was slurring her speech so bad I was surprised that she managed to finish.

Piercing, beautiful eyes

I loved ROD SERLING and the TWILIGHT ZONE.

Rip!!

I especially enjoyed her coke-fueled newscasts.

Another jewish genious, there are so many. He was short like a jockey but what a talent !

What is the music that plays in the background? It seem very familiar, what movie is it from?

REALLY ENJOYED WATCHING JESSICA, GREAT REPORTER AND LOVELY WOMAN.RIP

She was my boo.

serling didn’t utilize skulls enough in his series, ruining it for everyone

In the early 1980s she put together an enthralling and spectacular documentary on NFL football, gambling, possible game fixing and the outlaw line. One of the best things I've ever seen on the internet. It's extremely difficult to find online. I've seen it on TH-cam only to disappear then reappear then disappear, etc.

Thank you for this Peter! Here’s a little something for you: th-cam.com/video/7yhL1gMhlSg/w-d-xo.html

Is correct grammar too much to ask for a narration on Jessica?

A steady and professional on-camera presence for those of us who were privileged to watch her work. A very sad loss.

Congratulations on your "When Ends Don't Meet" inspirational thanks for sharing. 😎.

It's hard to give a 👍 about such a sad thing but I think I know the importance of it. Miss you, Jessica!!....

I have nothing to say. Some people are actually Angels.

Amazing woman in her field

Definitely poundable

I remember her fondly. She was one of a kind and one of very few people interesting enough that I would sit down and watch the news with. Her voice was very distinctive, and I really liked her. She definitely paved the way for many in the industry and I was shocked and saddened when I heard she had been killed. Needless to say, I never really watch the news anymore. I am glad I had the opportunity to see a portion of what she did, and how many doors were opened at least in part by this lady's courage and hard work. R.I.P.

Kinda like Andy Griffith and Colombo

Cocaine in the '70s was considered a party drug and not physically addictive. How wrong we were.

His voice is also in class by itself

I still say she was gone 2 soon

As Ms. Savitch said in her book, "Broadcasting is no place for a broad." Just think of the pigs she had to put up. Ladies, I'm glad it has changed for you, but you would not believe what women in the 1970's had to put up with. If you were a woman who wanted to get anywhere in the 1970's you needed a very thick skin and a very good sense of humor.

Also enjoyed coke.

Jessica was one of a kind, no doubt. I truly don't think anyone, at that time, could work a straw and razor blade as deftly as her. She was a true talent everytime she looked in the mirror, which was 98% of the time laying on her coffee table.....

I dont think she would have liked the Corporate news of today, well i should hope so. I like watching her maybe because she was so fine looking, but I was young at that time, but looking at her Now everybody can see that she was so intelligent but very Beautiful. RIP.

What a shame she was hooked on coke,

I have watched her movie about her life, over an over , fabulous person, wow. Such a sad way she passed an I cry about the dog too, am an animal lover too, , what a shame,, loss of life, very sad,

Do you think that she would approve the way MSM news is today ?

👍👍👍👍👍

She was a helluva communicator. To be able to look into a camera lens, tell a story, and in Texas make a teenager like me stop and listen because what she was saying was so important - that’s a very rare gift.

She was smart she was qualified she was driven found her calling and was very good at it God bless her I like d her nice-looking 2

I rarely watch national news but I liked her she was a beautiful woman intelligent I liked her
