Joan Lunden headlines Malibu Library Speakers Series June 17 Play

A former ABC News anchor and bestselling author will be the next Malibu Library Speakers Series speaker. Joan Lunden will talk to the public on Wednesday, June 17th, at Malibu City Hall.

Joan Lunden was the longest-running female host in early morning television history, as she held court on the number two rated "Good Morning America" program on ABC. Throughout her long career, she has become a leading voice on health, aging, caregiving and wellness advocacy.

Lunden is the author of multiple bestselling books. She has testified before Congress in support of expanding the Family and Medical Leave Act.

We should as a point of pride point out that GMA was number two in the LA market — behind the KTLA Morning News, where this reporter worked.
