Courtney Bierman interviews Leta Powell Drake
If you re a child of the 70s, you might know her as Kalamity Kate on Cartoon Corral on Channels 10/11 in Lincoln. Younger generations might recognize her as a Twitter sensation. Eighty-two-year-old Leta Powell Drake is a Nebraska broadcasting veteran with more than 40 years of experience. Last month, a compilation of Drake s celebrity interviews from the 1980s went viral.
The two-minute clip, which has tens of thousands of likes and retweets, features portions of Drake s interviews with Tom Hanks, Tim Curry, Lee Remick and a host of other famous faces. Drake is confident and blunt, and some guests seem baffled by her interviewing style.
