Former anchor/reporter at CBS2 News. I’m indebted to a myriad of dedicated co-workers and grateful for the countless viewers for whom I worked for 34-years.
These photos--I loved her beautiful smile, quick wit, and signature Elise sense of humor which included funny nicknames for us. My sympathies to Elise's husband, Graig, who's also our wonderful co-worker, their daughter Grace, Elise's parents, and her sister and her children.
Elise Finch loved music. The song of her life deserved many more verses.
Her gifts were many, and so too the lives she touched.
My deepest condolences to Graig and little Grace, her parents and sister, and all our CBS2 family.

Nina’s smile, the one you see in the photo, is how we always saw her. That authentic smile told of her confidence, eagerness and resourcefulness. Her storytelling often revealed something about her. There was so much ahead for Nina. Our deepest condolences to Nina’s family.
NEW: CBS News terminates Charlie Rose following allegations of sexual misconduct. "There is absolutely nothing more important, in this or any organization, than ensuring a safe, professional workplace," says CBS News President David Rhodes.
Valerie Harper made TV's one-of-a-kind 'Rhoda' an inspiration for so many of us. She turned our self-doubt into confidence and pride. Engaging & friendly, what a thrill to meet her when she was on

in "The Tale of the Allergist's Wife" and "Looped."

Hi Friends! Want to give u an update. I’m getting better but still have a long recovery ahead. But I had to say this: your cards, messages, and overall love & good wishes have been helping me keep my chin up. Thx for all the support. It means the world to me. See u soon!
All my life people asked - “are you related to Danny Aiello?” Finally met him in 1997. He wraps me in a bear hug and says “Tony! People keep asking if we’re related!”
This pic from 2012. Giving thanks for the legacy of a great actor and the life of a good man.
