Shelby Scott, Longtime News Anchor and Former AFTRA President, Dies at 86
06.06.2022 - 01:51 / thewrap.com
SAG-AFTRA announced. Born in Seattle and a graduate of the University of Washington, Scott got her start in news for her local TV and radio station KIRO as a traffic reporter before expanding to on-air reporting, writing, editing and producing.
In 1965, she was hired by CBS Boston affiliate WBZ, going on to become part of the affiliate’s first all-female anchor team with Gail Harris during her 31-year career at the station. During the ’80s and ’90s, she left the anchor desk and returned to the field, becoming known amongst Massachusetts viewers for her storm coverage.
She was particularly known for using her height rather than inches as a measuring unit for snowfall, something that the Boston Globe would later emulate in tribute by measuring snowstorms in “Shelby Scotts.”During this time, Scott also got involved with the American Federation of Television and Radio Artists (AFTRA), joining the union’s national board in 1981 and later serving as Boston local president and national vice president. In 1993, she was elected president of AFTRA, serving in that position until 2001 and leading the union through multiple contract negotiations and the first attempted merger with the Screen Actors Guild.
After her term as president ended, Scott continued to serve in leadership roles at AFTRA, including as national vice president, co-chair of the AFTRA health and retirement plan’s board of trustees, and president of AFTRA Foundation, where she established a relief fund for union members affected by Superstorm Sandy in 2012. Scott was also a member of the workgroup which in 2012 oversaw the merger of SAG and AFTRA into one nationwide labor organization.

Variety talked to Muhly about his sensitive music for the miniseries.Why did you want to tackle this project?I’d read the book, like the majority of Americans.
