Nancy O'Dell
A Star Committed to Babies
By Jessica Williams
O'Dell has conducted in-depth interviews with famous celebrities such as Richard Gere, Arnold Schwartzeneger, John Travolta, Tom Hanks, Nicolas Cage and Michael Douglas. But despite her contributions to the entertainment world, O'Dell is motivated by her husband's success as an anesthesiologist, and often compares her work with his.
"Because you are in the entertainment world, you ask yourself, 'What am I doing to make a difference ... what am I doing to help society?'" O'Dell says. "I always felt a little guilty, I think, being married to a doctor and hearing all that he's done to help in emergency rooms, and with delivering babies. I just don't feel like I am making as much of a difference as he is. But now maybe I am going to help someone 40, 30 or even 10 years down the road. Or maybe I am helping someone who is having a baby right now. That's rewarding."
