Tedi Thurman Dies at 89; Radio's Miss Monitor.
Here she is -- "Miss Monitor." Her real name is Tedi Thurman -- the woman who, in "Monitor's" early years, gave weather forecasts in a manner that New York Times media critic Jack Gould described as "an irresistible invitation to an unforgettable evening."
Tedi was a fashion model and actress who had appeared on several TV shows.
That turned out to be her ticket to "Monitor," where she gave weather forecasts for cities in a way that they'd never been given before -- in an alluring voice with lush music playing in the background.
The first time you heard that presentation, you'd never forget it -- or "that voice."
(The weather forecasts were real -- except for the time when "Monitor" host Henry Morgan set Tedi's script on fire from the bottom up.
Then, she had to make up some of the temperatures.)
She was a smash hit on "Monitor" -- so much so that she appeared in a movie trailer for Dean Martin's "Ten Thousand Bedrooms" flic
