It is 6:45 p.m., downtown Los Angeles. While Lu Parker ‘90 and a cameraman cover a story for KTLA TV, they get a call from the station. Major wreck. Get there. During their 20-minute ride, she gathers as much information as possible. They arrive to see the back end of an 18-wheeler protruding from a restaurant, with a five-car pileup on the highway.
Is the stereotype the one of the ditzy beauty queen? Not this woman, who has received several Emmy Awards for her journalism and reads voraciously. Her blog offers thoughtful advice and insight to her fans. She has written a book, Catching the Crown: The Source for Pageant Competition. Whatever prejudices you may have when you hear beauty queen or California girl, Parker dispels them.
No doubt, she is beautiful, though.
