NANCY O'DONNELLNancy O'Donnell, the first camerawoman in Ohio, began her television career in 1965 at WOSU in Columbus after earning an Associate of Arts Degree in Radio/TV and Speech and Drama from Marjorie Webster Junior College in Washington, DC. She worked as a booth announcer, copywriter and in traffic/operations. After she married, she moved to Ft. Benning, GA in 1967. Her husband was shipped to Vietnam, and Nancy returned to Columbus and WOSU. To help the Vietnamese in refugee camps her husband organized and she helped collect tons of books, canned goods, clothing, toys, etc. When Woody Hayes returned rrom Vietnam he appeared on the WBNS Noon News showing pictures of the refugee camps and the distribution of food and clothing resulting in more donations pouring in. When Nancy's husband was discharged from the service, they went to The Maryland Center for Public Broadcasting in Baltimore where Nancy was hired as Traffic and Operations Manager. After the breakup of her marriage, Nancy returned to Columbus to tackle the job of News Room Secretary and Assignment Editor at WTVN. With an interest in photography, she asked the Chief Photographer to teach her how to shoot, and in 1972 when an opening for a shooter came up, Nancy became the first female cinematographer/editor in Columbus. In 1974, Nancy became the first female cinematographer in the country working for a network Owned &Operated when she was hired by WKYC. She joined IATSE Local 666, and faced blatant harassment from the chauvinist shooters who told her that they wanted to keep the "broads out of broadcasting." She persisted and eventually won the respect of her peers. For three years she covered the Kentucky Derby pre-week for NBC Sports. Over the years Nancy shot train derailments, sports and breaking news. There were tense situations -- she was threatened, and had her camera grabbed and the film ripped out. When videotape replaced film, she began shooting tape and joined NABET.
