Noted TV actor Chris Noth’s mom, Jeanne Parr, died on Monday, May 23, according to reports. She was 92.
Parr started her career at a local radio and TV station in Madison, Wisconsin, before she was scouted by a CBS producer, making her one of the network’s first female correspondents. The producer discovered her after she made an appearance on What’s My Line? in 1960.
The late reporter, who also worked as a weather girl on the Jim Jensen Show, famously covered the Republican National Convention in San Francisco and the riots in New York in 1967.
In 1978, Parr got her own talk show, The Jeanne Parr Show, on CBS. Later in her career, she produced several documentaries.
The journalist is survived by her three sons, Charles Jr., Chris and Michael Noth. Her husband, Charles Noth, died in a car accident in 1966.
