Journalism… How many famous people work and have worked in this field before… And after all, we can talk not only about the USSR, Russia or other countries of the post-Soviet space, but also about America.
Maria Shriver is a journalist whose news programs are world famous.
Childhood and youth of Mary
She was born on November 6, 1955 in Chicago. Nothing special can be said about Maria Shriver's childhood, because her parents were not very rich and famous people, although her mother bore the name Kennedy. Most likely, she was a relative of the presidential family. Maria studied school science not in Chicago, but at a high school in the small town of Bethesd in Maryland. By the way, the practice of sending children to study in a smaller city was very common at that time.
At the age of 22, our heroine graduated from Georgestown University in journalism.
TV career
Maria Shriver immediately after graduating from university got a job at the Philadelphia television and radio company. There she edited texts for releases of news programs. A year later, in 1978, she changed jobs for the first time, having received a more profitableoffer from the B altimore mall. Here she worked for five years. It was in B altimore that Maria Shriver (there is a photo in her youth in the article) received her first experience on the air. Although the news was not always broadcast live, the complexity of the work of the editor and presenter, who speaks in front of the camera (and it is he who is seen by the viewers), cannot be overestimated.
In 1983, Maria Shriver moved to Los Angeles. It was one of the most important events in the life of this famous person. Of course, she did not remain without work here either. She was prompted to move by an offer from StBS to take a vacant position as a news reporter.
The finest hour as a TV presenter came while working on one of the largest American channels NBC (since 1986). Here Maria Shriver participated in many projects, some of which were copyrighted. At the start of her career at NBS, she worked as a correspondent for the evening news. A year later, in 1987, Maria Shriver (see photo in her youth below) created and began to host her own Main Street program. From 1987 to 1990, she was also the Sunday afternoon and evening wrap-up news anchor. Many also remember the comments of this journalist from the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul. Critics noted Shriver's exceptional ability to interview "the powers that be": George W. Bush, King Hussein of Jordan, Fidel Castro.
Private life
In terms of personal life, Maria Shriver is also quite a successful person. Herher husband is a famous Hollywood film actor, the governor of California and an Austrian by nationality Arnold Schwarzenegger. They met back in 1977 while filming a news video, but got married in 1986. Arnold and Maria have two children - Katherine and Patrick.
Today, Arnold and Maria are divorced (since 2011), but, of course, maintain friendly relations.
