Walked past Jana this afternoon on Oxford st in sydney. Did some googling and ended up here. I’m not usually one for admiring celebrities but she is much more than that. What an amazing person she is. Departed the television industry too soon. She is stunningly beautiful, I didn’t think she’d be as small as she was though. Made my day!
In my first year of teaching in 1979 I shared a house in Melbourne with six fellow school mates from Bendigo. One of of the few times we would come together was to watch Chanel 10 news, just to ogle Jana. We all voted her the sexiest woman on television. We even had photos of her on our kitchen wall.
Jana Wendt did a 1987 60 minutes video swept away about two young girls that many believed mark was not consistent in his story ..I was given to mark 6 years after the story ..Jana's story swept away was only found this year by me online..I have much to aay
Where are the new Janas . They are out there , but not employable unfortunately. Maybe the ABC would employ her but definitely not News Ltd. she is the best female journalist I have ever seen bar none. Also a brilliant ( equal best with Kerri O’Brien of the ABC) interviewer. My god we need both of them now with the media & politicians running wild with lies & BS. Laurie Oakes is often mentioned, No there was obvious bias in my opinion. The Children overboard story destroyed his credibility for me.
Yeh! Pretty face for Commercial Television back in the 80s -90s. About as much credibility as the show she was on.60 minutes. Hero's in their own Lunchtime. What motivated you Yana?...A massive Ego perhaps.
@@cv8z231 I never liked her. Something subtley dishonest and disingenuous about her. She used her beguiling beauty to seduce confessions and escape serious assessment. People used to say she had beauty AND brains. Hmm, I don't think it was the brains that got her all the accolades.
@@thedolphin5428 Agree. She probably wasnt lacking any brains.Just not a good one. My old man couldn't stand the sultry smug stare she d give to the people that she would interview. Foxes Megan Kelly was a good example, they have the answers they want to here before they even start the interview.almost a total bias to anyone else's opinion. Its terrible and frustrating journalism. Nah! She's been off the air for a long time and thats a good thing. Just an old product of the Capatilist 80s she was.
@@cv8z231 Yeah, that smug stare was really annoying! Her other annoying aspect was that Channel 9 and ACA and 60 mins were all tabloid mentality and brazen commercial ventures, yet Wendt fostered a reputation that she was better, smarter than that. Still there after many years (instead of migrating to better journalism) she basked in her populist limelight and massive pay packet as a typical media celebrity. She was just "an asset" to Packer. Sounds like your dad and I could start the "I hate Jana Wendt Fan Club". Two members is a start!
wow winning an award for being awesome in one of the shittest papers in the world. i do hope that Jana gets better recognition than this. mind you if she’s spent more time workin for the daily than doing real journalism, it’s possible she’s not the journalist we thought she was in the 80s.
Are we talking about the same person on here??? This woman was the most hated person on Australian TV and here we are treating her like a saint. There was a reason she was "asked to leave" 60 minutes and that was because her obnoxious personality was defaming the franchise.
Viewers simply mostly loved her. Her time hosting A Current Affair is usually considered it's Golden age. Partly because she was a colourful interesting and surprisingly combative journalist.
Hated by who? I've never met anyone who doesn't remember her as anything other than an amazing journalist. Something that simply doesn't happen any more
Jana, you've been famous, you're now a legend
You are the legend ❤😊

I saw her in person in the 80's. WOW!
ANOTHER MISTAKE OF CHANNEL 9 - JANA, ONE OF THE BEST JOURNALISTS THIS COUNTRY HAS EVER HAD !!!!
I found she didn't interview people she interigated them.
It seemed like every place she touched in her career, she turned it into gold.
You are gold 🪙
Daughter of a great friend of my dad Karel Wendt from Czechia, he immigrate to Australia 1949
nice for your dad

Liz hayes couldn't hold a candle to yarna wendt for 60 minutes even till today.
'Telegraph, Telegraph, Telegraph...' lol. Must have been ''The 'Tegrity Farms Award''
Jana was the best. I wish she was still doing TV.
Remember when the queen, Toni Morrison put her in her place for asking that self-serving, racist question?
What i find strange why does the entertainment industry only people about praising themselves??
....they know, but rarely divulge, the 'real' sh*t
Don't ask 'the Goanna'
Notice a pattern the daily telegraph is a news corp newspaper
60 mins is a joke now. Not one reporter deserves to be on that show, at best they’re a current affair reporters.
Yalda Hakim reminds me of Jana Wendt.
She Isn't even equal to shoe of Jana wendt.She is biased and emotional in some cases.
Go to 2 minutes 20 the woman talking will drive you nuts she just keeps going on on

Except for being a little thinner she looks no different
She is stunniing
Genuine question. Would you say this about a mans appearance?
What did you do to your hair Jana.
It suits her
Harry Potter??
Yes, Channel 10 actually had a newsreader a few years back named Harry Potter. True story.
omg shes still so hot!
I wonder what has caused her loss of weight.
Oldie
One of the best of the very best
You are the best accualy 😊
@@Roi_mohamed6 I am the best
Bob Hawk hit the nail on the head with his description of her observation repugnant.. I always found her a very aggressive interviewer on 60 minutes.

We all want a woman unless you bat for the a different team or prince Charles who marries a horse.
Brilliant!!! 😶
