George even acknowledged knowing nothing about the industry and having no experience nor another female mentor to follow.This site is protected by recaptcha Privacy Policy | Terms of ServiceNone of it stopped her.George was a friend of minister Norman Vincent Peale and a devout believer in his best-selling philosophy of positive thinking, George credits that approach for launching a defining career she didn’t expect — one that saw her range into an astonishing variety of ventures and roles, in media, the film industry, food and beauty products, and as the glamorous first lady of the bluegrass state.“Saying yes to yourself opens up opportunities that can take you anywhere,” George wrote. She was a warm person and that came through on the set and in the interviews.”George conducted one-on-one interviews with star athletes such as NFL greats Joe Namath and Roger Staubach.“People were uncomfortable with the idea of seeing a woman on TV talking about sports in a prominent role,” Storm said.
