Career

Born in Kenyon, Minnesota, Edwards began her career as an actress, and became widely known as an on-air personality in the 1970s. She co-hosted ABC-TV's AM America, the forerunner to Good Morning America, jointly with Bill Beutel. (She continued with GMA, often substituting for Joan Lunden.) Previously, she had hosted a similar West Coast news and talk program in Southern California, AM Los Angeles along with Ralph Story.

Edwards was nominated in 1979 for a Daytime Emmy Award as Outstanding Host or Hostess in a Talk, Service or Variety Series, for her show Everyday.

She was also the continuing co-host of the Tournament of Roses Parade on Los Angeles television channel KTLA (broadcast widely as a "superstation" across the United States) with former game show host Bob Eubanks from 1978 to 2005, resuming again in 2009. She ended her 35-year career as co-host in 2016.

Tournament of Roses parade

For the 2006 KTLA Rose Parade broadcast, Edwards was replaced after 28 years as Eubanks' co-host in the main booth by KTLA morning news co-anchor Michaela Pereira, and reassigned as an on-street reporter (having to stand outside in the rain while giving periodic live updates). Although all three were equally billed as co-hosts, the move created a storm of controversy, and was seen as insensitive by many of Edwards' fans, as well as by local TV critics.[1][2]

In 2009, Edwards rejoined Eubanks as co-host of the Tournament of Roses Parade coverage on KTLA.[3] On September 25, 2015, Eubanks revealed that the 2016 parade would be their last.[4]

Edwards was also the longtime commercial spokesperson for the California-based supermarket chain Lucky Stores from the mid-1980s until they merged with Albertsons (1998).
