- In 1980, Craft auditioned for KMBC and was hired as co-anchor, but was later informed that she had been demoted to reporter because she was "too old, too unattractive and wouldn't defer to men." Craft got angry and told a Kansas City newspaper about this unfair treatment. Her lawsuit against Metromedia was tried twice, in 1983 and 1984, and both times the jury decided in her favor and awarded her damages. Both times, the judge overruled. Craft got her revenge by publishing a book about this blatant sexism.
