She was inspired by New York news anchor Rose Ann Scamardella from WABC-TV’s Eyewitness News. Gilda’s parody was so sharp — and so funny — that Scamardella herself became a fan, saying she took it as “the highest compliment.” From “It’s always something!” to those unforgettable hair flips, Roseanne Rose
