TV newswoman Norville to speak at Packard hall

WARREN

Deborah Norville will speak at Packard Music Hall at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday as part of the Trumbull Town Hall series. Tickets are $35 at the Packard box office, 1703 Mahoning Ave.

Norville’s presentation will touch on the various aspects of her life, from crafting and sewing to her current role as host of the syndicated television show “Inside Edition.”

Norville’s television career includes “48 hours” and serving as co-anchor for “America Tonight.” The former Georgia beauty queen replaced Jane Pauley, the longtime co-host of “Today,” in 1990 and unleashed a controversy over the merits of brains versus beauty and ageism on TV news.

Her tumultuous stay at NBC led her to write the book, “Back on Track: How to straighten Out Your Life When it Throws You a Curve” (1997). She has also written two children’s books.

Norville is a lifelong crafter and seamstress, and is the creative force behind the Deborah Norville Yarn Collection, a line of high-quality yarn for knit and crochet enthusiasts.
