Sad but true, a 60-year-old customs agent at JFK International Airport was killed in Manhattan last night as she was crossing Broadway at 53rd Street. The 61-year-old male driver who was making a left turn remained on the scene but was not charged in her death. We learned from news reports that he was driving a Cadillac, as if that meant he was rich, careless and with money to burn. Would they have mentioned the make of the car had it been a Toyota Corolla?
The victim had a bit part in one episode of hit a TV series and some appearances in a few others, but had not had an acting job since 2023. Yet the headlines described her as "an actress who starred in The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, most likely to earn clicks from the show's fans and somehow translate into more money for someone.
I wish journalists would stick to the truth without stretching it to fit a particular narrative.
