Connie Chung

A native of Washington, D. C., United States, Connie Chung was born on the 20th August in 1946. The 71-year-old holds an American citizenship. Although she is known by the name Connie Chung, her full name is Constance Yu-Hwa Chung Povich. As she was born in the month of August, her star sign is Leo.

She was born as the youngest child among the ten children to her parents. The family then immigrated in less than a year after the birth of Chung. She went to get her education from the Montgomery Blair High School located in Silver Spring, Maryland and graduated from there. After that, she went on to get a degree in journalism at the University of Maryland, College Park in 1969.

Chung is a married woman and shares a marital life with Maury Povich, a talk show host. The couple has been married to each other since 1972 and is living a blissful life. After marrying to Povich, Chung converted to the Judaism. She has now become devoted to faith and also attends the synagogue along with her family. Chung and her husband Maury also adopted a child, a boy named Matthew Jay Povich, on the 20th of June 1995.

Chung was the Washington, D.C., based correspondent for CBS Evening News with Walter Cronkite in early 1970s during Watergate political scandal. She then left for Los Angeles CBS affiliate KNXT which was located in the nation’s second-largest local market, Southern California.

She was also an anchor of CBS Newsbriefs for west coast stations from KNXT studios at the Columbia Square during her time there. Chung, along with her husband, also hosted a show titled as Weekends with Maury and Connie on the MSNBC; it was her first appearance as a TV host since 2003. The show was then canceled and aired its final episode on 17th June 2006. On the episode, she dressed in a white evening gown and dancing atop the black piano.

Few famous interviews of Chung’s include Claus von Bulow and U.S. Representative Gary Condit, with whom she interviewed at first after the Chandra Levy disappearance and the basketball legend Earvin Johnson after he went to the public about being HIV- positive.

Prior to that, Chung also accepted teaching fellowship at John F. Kennedy School of Government at the Harvard University. While there, she also wrote a discussion paper titled as The Business of Getting The Get: Nailing an Exclusive Interview in the Prime Time. She was also nominated for the 2013 New Jersey Hall of Fame for the General Services.

Although Chung’s popularity in the real world is on par with any other world-renowned celebrity, she has chosen not to promote her name through the internet and does not possess accounts on any of the social networking sites.

Maybe Chung prefers to keep her private life to herself. We all hope that she does create a social media account in the future so that we might get to know her a little better.
