Four decades in any business is an impressive run – forty years in the news business is the stuff of rarefied talent and almost superhuman dedication. Benita Zahn is our Dazzler of the Day as she wraps up her first act as news reporter and heads into a new career that seems tailor-made for her unique aptitude. For all her pleasant on-air demeanor and local theatrical work (you haven’t lived until you’ve seen her belt out ‘You Gotta Have a Gimmick’ with all her assets alight from ‘Gypsy’, which I was fortunate enough to glimpse ) one of her passions through the years has been a genuine and deep-seeded desire to help people get healthier. Her new endeavor looks to continue that in an even more direct fashion, and she is poised for her next act with all the seasoned panache and pizzazz that only a true dazzler could conjure.
