Intimate Portrait: Joan Lunden examines the public and private life of television personality Joan Lunden, describing her rocky path to high-voltage success. The one-hour program features home movies, personal photographs and memorabilia, and clips of Lunden's favorite moments on Good Morning America, which she hosted for 17 years. When Lunden left her hometown Sacramento, CA, for New York City in her early twenties, she received a rude awakening to the competitive realities of the television business. She struggled to create a high-profile television identity and, years later, to overcome it. At age 40, after 13 years of marriage, she began a challenging new life as a single mother. The program features interviews with Joan Lunden, her co-workers, her mother, her best friend, and her newest love. ~ Betsy Boyd, Rovi
