Marianne Tomlinson -- the first Columbus news anchorwoman, who also covered fashion and could be found wearing sharp leather pants into her 80s -- has died.
Tomlinson, called "Mimi" by family members and friends, passed away Oct. 27 at 87. She anchored the noon and evening newscasts on WBNS-TV (Channel 10) in the 1960s and hosted the show Et Cetera.
"At the time, there were no women at all doing any kind of regular news," recalled former colleague Joe Holbrook.
