Pinkerton officer on left and Judy Lee on her weather set at WRCV-TV in the Fall of 1956. Channel 3's weather girl, Judy Lee, was kept under close surveillance by an armed Pinkerton guard. The reason? She was sporting a $100,000.00 Russian sable coat. Judy was able to persuade a local specialty store to let her wear it only after the store arranged to protect its valuable property by having two Pinkerton men remove the sable from its vault, and one officer to guard it in transit and on Judy. All this for two minutes of airtime!
