When I moved Over Here in the Great Wetback Episode of 1986, one of the things I immersed myself into (as part of my ahem acculturation program) was morning TV programs — pretty much enforced, as I was waiting for my work visa to be approved. Anyway, not knowing which TV program to watch, I chose ABC’s Good Morning America, more or less at random.
Which is where I discovered the velvety voice and MILFY looks of Joan Lunden.
Of course, GMA (then and still) was the most appalling pablum and Lefty agitprop, but somehow none of that mattered because I was quite smitten with Miss Lunden (okay, Mrs., as I later learned, to much disappointment). That voice and her occasional dirty chuckle got me going, let me tell you.
It became worse when I discovered that she had freckled boobs (!):
…which led to several naughty fantasies. (Sadly, she later developed breast cancer, so I have no idea what happened to her girls.)
She’s a granny by now, of course, but then I too am an Olde Phartte, so none of it matters. But for several months back there in the mid-80s…
she was a looker in the day.
She cohosted with a guy too. I wonder what happened to both of them

David Someone and Charles Gibson.
I remember both. David someone seemed innocuous enough but I was in grade school or junior high when he left. Charlie Gibson seemed tolerable. We used to watch Good morning America during breakfast and on our way out the door to school.
