John Dunning Quote

She was sometimes called the female Arthur Godfrey, combining a down-home charm with a keen and astute interviewing style. Her voice was girlish, hesitant, often bewildered, in the opinion of Life magazine. Her stock in trade was innocence: she preserved the air of a little girl lost in the big city, but managed to draw from the rich and famous revealing anecdotes and warm insights. She interviewed more than 1,200 people, from Sally Rand and Harry Truman to the Grand Lama of Tibet. Mary Margaret McBride was born in 1899, and she came to radio after a career in letters. She wrote several books in the 1920s and was one of the country’s best-paid article writers until the Depression arrived and demolished her markets.
