The State - News from Jan. 28, 1986

Television newswoman Christine Craft, still pursuing her legal battle against Kansas City station KMBC and Metromedia for demoting her in 1981 because she wasn’t attractive enough, began a new job as co-anchor for KRBK, a small Sacramento station. “I’m not a monster,” said Craft, 41. “I’m an OK-looking person. I’m aware that TV is a visual medium, but I don’t think you have to be a beauty queen to be on it.” Two juries have sided with her in her sex discrimination suit, but awards of $500,000 and $325,000 were overturned by federal judges. She has appealed to the U.S. Supreme Court.
