NAMES IN THE NEWS : Pauley Learns to Banish Hives
NEW YORK — Jane Pauley has had it all--even hives.
The former “Today” co-host, now a fill-in anchor on the “NBC Nightly News,” told New York magazine that at age 7, she broke into hives after being punished for another child’s prank.
“My eyes swelled up or something glamorous like that and my mother had to take me home from school,” she said. “Later she took me to a specialist who said that I was a nervous child who would have to be careful my whole life.”
Pauley added: ‘This is good information for a kid who is anxious about life. Instead I grew up to do live television. I think it’s kind of funny.”
Pauley got over her problems with hives and headaches years ago, the magazine reported in its July 23 issue.
