Michele Harrington

Even from the very beginning, Michele Harrington has always allowed her enthusiasm as a performer to spark new ideas that inform her professional work behind the scenes. A "Gladney Baby" - meaning she was adopted from the Edna-Gladney Adoption Agency - Michele Harrington grew up in Southeast Texas, pursuing modeling while still in high school. Her modeling portfolio included work for such companies as Dillard's Department Store, Calvin Klein fragrances, Regis Hair Salons and others. While earning her degree in Mass Communications at Lamar University, she parlayed her role as the school's mascot (a cardinal) into a position as a mascot (a bee this time) at a local Top 40 station. Climbing the ladder quickly, Harrington became an on-air personality and eventually the station's promotion director. In 1990, the station partnered with Fox Television to create a new music video program, "Hit Video," featuring Michele interviewing guests and introducing videos as one of the hosts. Michele to
