It takes an extraordinary person to skate with the NHL Rangers, kick up a storm with the Rockettes and—perhaps most difficult of all—match wits with David Rosengarten, but Donna Hanover handles all this and more with grace.
A contributing correspondent to WNYW-TV Fox 5's Good Day New York and co-anchor of Food Network's In Food Today with David Rosengarten, Donna has hosted TV profiles on many celebrities and newsmakers, such as Joan Rivers, Beverly Sills, Anna Quindlen, Susan Lucci, Jessye Norman and Nora Ephron. Donna has appeared in several movies, most notably as Ruth Carter Stapleton in The People vs. Larry Flynt, directed by Milos Forman. Sidney Lumet and Ron Howard are among the other directors whom she has worked with. On television, she has appeared in The Practice, Law and Order, Family Law and Ally McBeal.
At Fox 5, Donna specializes in adventurous feature stories. Besides lacing up hockey skates with the Rangers hockey team and dancing with Radio City's Rockettes, Donna has flown in an F-18 figher jet and trained to be an agent at the FBI Academy in Quantico, Va., all in the line of duty.
From 1983 to 1990, Donna worked at WPIX-TV Channel 11, where she co-anchored the evening and midday news as well as contributed to the Wall Street Journal Report. It was here that she received the Pinnacle Award from American Women in Radio & Television for a segment titled "Advertising by Plastic Surgeons."
Before settling in New York City, Donna anchored and produced TV segments at various television and radio stations around the country and was an associate faculty member at Utica College. More recently, she was an adjunct professor in the Department of Journalism at New York University.
Donna received a Master's degree in broadcast journalism from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism and earned her Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from Stanford University. Her numerous awards for excellence in journalism include the San Francisco State University Broadcasts Award (1989) for Suffer the Children, a series on child abuse, and the New York State Associated Press Broadcasters' Association Award (1984) for A Profile of Bobby Williams, A Handicapped Child.
