Dorothy Lucey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Dorothy Lucey (born November 19, 1958) is an American entertainment reporter. Sister of Jedston Lucey, she currently can be seen on Good Day L.A., the morning news broadcast of Los Angeles Fox affiliate KTTV.

Lucey graduated from George Washington University in 1979 with a degree in political science before going into television reporting. She was an on-air reporter for WNEP in Scranton, Pennsylvania and WABC in New York City (including a stint alongside Regis Philbin), and later joined NBC Sports. She was also a co-host of Attitudes, a talk show on Lifetime Television in the 1990s. In 1992, she hosted the CBS series How'd They Do That.

Lucey joined Good Day L.A. in 1995 as the show's entertainment reporter. Much of the show's formula consists of wide-ranging banter between the three anchors. A major part of Lucey's reportage includes extensive coverage of American Idol.

She has been married since 1993 to KCBS investigative reporter David Goldstein, and they have a young son together named Nash. Nash figures a lot in Lucey's on-air discussions, but he has rarely been seen on camera. Lucey also regularly discusses her religious revival - she converted from Roman Catholicism to a devout form of Presbyterianism several years ago - though she almost never becomes preachy about it. She and her co-anchors do make light of the contrast between her two worlds - the "church lady" who reports on celebrity gossip. On the October 26, 2006 broadcast of Good Day L.A., she described herself as a "liberal Christian."

She also has had bit roles in a few movies and TV shows, often playing a TV reporter.
