Whatever happened to sideline reporter Anne Simon?

Best known for this curt exchange with Coach Bear Bryant in the 1982 Auburn/Alabama game.

Some scant search results seems to indicate she was a sports reporter for Channel 7 in Buffalo, NY. But I can’t find what time period.

This guy would probably know he hosts Channel 7 memories site. Several pics of here on the site as well.

If she was 31 in 83 she’d be about 62 or 63 now. She’s off the google radar from about the late 80’s forward so whatever she’s doing she’s been out of the public eye for over 20 years now or possibly married and changed her professional name.

This 1988 news & broadcast industry article is the last mention of her I can find and cites her as having “been” employed by ABC (pdf doc link)

Facebook has this woman Anne Simon Ellman in the New York area.

The memories page has this shot. Are they the same person separated by 30 years?

Difficult to say. Facial structure is quite similar.

Did a tour of duty in New Orleans as WWL-TV’s first female Eyewitness Sportscaster for a year (October 1981–September 1982).
