Fictional reporter -- via the Washington Post. Although she could be postulated as an early feminist icon, Starr served alternately as a damsel in distress and romantic heroine. Her comic-strip adventures referred to her during much of her life as a "girl reporter," as though that was a remarkable anomaly.
Although she rose (or sank, depending on your point of view) to the post of editor, got married to the dashing Basil St. John, had a child, got divorced, and paged through several romances, she was always glamorous, globe-trotting Brenda -- even though serious issues occasionally crept into the strip. Goodbye, Brenda, we'll miss you.
