COLUMBIA, S.C. (AP) - South Carolina first lady Jenny Sanford
will be recognized as one of this year's 10 most fascinating people
on an upcoming network television special.
ABC said Thursday that the jilted wife of Gov. Mark Sanford
would be interviewed in the "Barbara Walters Presents: The 10 Most
Fascinating People of 2009. The program will air on Dec. 9.
The Republican governor skipped the state in June for a five-day
rendezvous with his Argentine lover.
Jenny Sanford had a leading role in building her husband's
political career by running his campaigns for the U.S. House and
governor. But she didn't play the role of dutiful wife standing
beside a husband who strayed.
Walters will also have a longer interview with Sanford to
coincide with the release of the first lady's memoir.
