Wide World of Women

This special aired this evening.....

Colleen was SMOKIN!!!!!!



Plenty of faces from the past..........










Former anchor who went on to be an author, Kelly Lange.







Linda Alvarez, who retired from CBS 2/KCAL 9 just over a year ago.



Michele Ruiz.



Laurel Erickson, still there some 30 years later!







The many hairstyles of Vikki Vargas, another veteran.

Help! Can anyone identify the ladies in these pics? I'll add answers as they come in.



Tritia Toyota



I'm now fairly sure that the top left is a young Colleen Williams. Names for the other two?





Tritia Toyota again



Ana Garcia



Kim Baldonado



Is this maybe Kelly Mack (with Kent Shocknek) in her early days at 4? The outfit's certainly flamboyant enough to be one of hers! I have an enquiry in with Kent Shocknek, reply awaited.




After further review, it's Cynthia Allison.

Finally.......

Caps 1 and 5 -- Tricia Toyota, cap 6 -- Ana Garcia, Cap 7 -- Kim Baldonado, and cap 10 looks like Kelly Lange

Wow, those really take me back....

I grew up watching Kelly Lange.

And I looovvve Linda and really miss her!

Thanks, MadMac!!!

Should have kept my mouth shut.......

I'm thinking #10 is Cynthia Allison:


Had it really bad for her when I was a teenager.

Just bringing this back to the top, as Kent Shocknek has chimed in with his thoughts on number 8:

"Judging from the body armor, I'd guess She-ra or Xena. Short of that, I recall an anchor from the early days of l.a. morning TV: Pat Da Silva?"

That name's not at all familiar to me. Any L.A. veterans have any ideas?

A quick update on some of the names:

Pic 2 - top right is Linda Alvarez.

Pic 8 - I'm now convinced this is Kelly Mack before her cropped blonde hairdo.

Pic 9 - Carla Aragon, who was in Albuquerque for many years before retiring recently.
