 The beautiful war correspondent started her journalism career early on, pushing for and landing a job at the Sunday Tribune in Durban, South Africa, while in high school. Soon after, she went to New York, working as a hostess at the Water Club on the East River in Manhattan. When she decided to get serious about reporting again, she returned to South Africa, went to college, took modeling jobs to earn extra cash, and quickly landed a job with a local TV news service. From there, she launched her international career, traveling throughout the Middle East on stringer gigs with CBS, NBC, ABC and CNN. It was a CBS Radio freelance job that finally helped her land a coveted correspondent’s position on CBS’s “60 Minutes.” She once told The New York Times she was well aware of the risks in her job. But “I think you’re not really thinking about being afraid,” she said. “For me, I’m just so happy to be there, in that situation. It’s so fascinating. You get a view of life that you wouldn’t otherwise have.” But her stellar rise came with a heavy personal cost at times, she said. While covering Baghdad in the mid-2000s, her six-year marriage to former professional basketballer Jason Siemon fell apart, she said. And there was an infamous incident in 2008 in Iraq involving her relationship with a then-still-married U.S. contractor, Joseph Burkett. Burkett allegedly brawled with one of Logan’s exes, CNN correspondent Michael Ware, in a Baghdad “safehouse,” and in the ensuing headlines, it was later revealed that Logan was pregnant with Burkett’s child. Logan and Burkett are now married and have two children. (SD-Agencies) |
