.lt"Too ugly" TV girl's victory
The Sun,
10 August 1983
TV presenter Christine Craft won $300,000 damages yesterday after losing her job for being "too old and ugly."
Christine, 38, sued a TV station in Kansas City, Missouri, claiming sex discrimination and fraud.
She said studio bosses promised her a top job on a news programme because of her journalistic skills.
But when she was demoted for refusing to be turned into a sex symbol a local court was told.
She said a director called her "unattractive and not deferential enough to men."
