Legendary and pioneering White House correspondent Helen Thomas, who covered 10 presidents, died at her apartment in Washington on Saturday. Thomas had been battling a long illness and had returned from the hospital Thursday, a friend tells the Associated Press. Thomas began her career covering the White House for United Press International when John F. Kennedy became president in 1961, and was never shy about grilling presidents until she retired in 2010. Thomas was the first woman to join the White House Correspondents’ Association and also the first woman to serve as the group’s president, notes Politico.

I remember the controversy about her comments on Israel a few years back. Apart from that, other posters here probably followed her closer than I did.
