Cyndy Garvey

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Cyndy Garvey (nee Truhan) (born July 16, 1949, Detroit, Michigan) is an American television personality and former wife of baseball player Steve Garvey.

Cyndy Truhan was the host of the local news/talk show "A.M. Los Angeles" on KABC-TV in the 1970s. She is perhaps best known as a co-host, with Bryant Gumbel, of the novelty sports series Games People Play (1980). From 1983 to 1984, she was Regis Philbin's co-host on The Morning Show on WABC-TV in New York City, a show which later became the nationally syndicated Live with Regis and Kelly.

She married Steve Garvey on October 27, 1971. After divorcing him in 1983, her name was removed from the library of a junior high school in California named after Mr. Garvey.

In 2003, she sued the city of Los Angeles and her former boyfriend, Los Angeles police officer Kelly Chrisman, for selling confidential law enforcement records about her and other celebrities to the media. The city settled the suit by paying $387,500 to her.
