No wonder, her name has been attached to reputable media outlets such as WAGA-TV, WMAQ-TV, NBC, ABC Talk Radio Networks, CBS, MSNBC, and Inside Edition. She has been an active soul in the industry since 1978.

Since 1995, she has been impressing fans as a vocal anchor of Inside Edition.

Moving on to her physical configuration, she is not a tall woman with the height of 5 feet and 8 inches. However, she still looks breathtaking for a woman of 57. Impressively, curvaceous Deborah body measurements are 34-25-36 inches. Other of her high physical sex appeal contributing factors are well maintain blonde hair wavy hairstyle), winsome face, shapely breasts and thighs, and appreciable long legs. She is the kind of person who doesn't believe in showing off her assets, but that doesn't mean she hasn't worn short dresses.

Talking about her relationship status, she is happily married wife of Karl Wellner, a businessman. Karl and Debroah married in the year 1987. The loving couple has three children; two sons and a daughter. Norville has spoken several times in the media about parenting her children. She feels parenting her child is the most toughest and rewarding job she ever hard.

Sometimes, even a star like Norville gets into criticism. However, it has always been hard for her to understand the 1991 breastfeeding scandal that surrounded her like ghost that year. It was the year 1991 when she took maternity leave shortly after giving birth to her first child. However, she never starred for NBC ever again.

If you didn't know, NBC Today's show rating really declined after she joined the show.

It's clear that NBC wanted to remove her and they had every right to do so. However, it was very immature of the NBC network executive to criticize Debroah for her breastfeeding pictures after her departure. The executive was quoted labeling Debroah breastfeeding pictures" self-serving and embarrassing" in a People magazine story which was covering Debroah post departure situation and what it meant for new arrival, Katie Couric.

Not only that, the period was really difficult for her. She just shared the loving picture and a flurry of media scrutiny blew in. Many articles started projecting her as an icequeen ignoring her rich history.

Her fans still feels that she deserves an apology from NBC. In fact, Debroah was the same person who had boosted ratings for "NBC News at Sunrise" before joining NBC's Today. And, she was the same person who had won an Emmy during her tenure on Today. Just because show rating went down, it is really unwise to personal attack someone who had already departed.

Well, loss for NBC proved to be a gain for ABC network radio. After leaving ABC radio, she joined CBS, moved from CBS to MSNBC. And later, she ultimately joined Inside Edition in 1995.

Her life story is really what everyone can relate to. From what she has said, her job option is not something that she chose for herself, but for her children, family and balanced life. And it's true that Debroah once left her job as on-the-road journalist after being emotionally moved by a story of a woman who did everything to steal away her son from her ex-husband, who had violated their mutual agreement.

Some of her notable work credits are 1979 interview with President Jimmy Carter, 1990 interview with British prime minister Margaret Thatcher (shortly after Iraq's Kuwait invasion), 1989 documentary on violent teenage girls called "Bad Girls which became one of the most watched NBC shows the week it aired, NBC's coverage of democratic uprising in Romania ( won her first Emmy for her works), 1994 Mississippi flood coverage for CBS's 48 hours ( for which she won her second Emmy), Davidson County NC jail coverage ( she literally stayed in the jail for a week) and Paula Jones interview.

Her Inside Edition credentials are something that an aspiring journalist will only dream of. For the refreshing show Inside Out, she has not only covered celebrities lives, but also numerous crime stories and investigations. Nevertheless, she has also kept the show fresh and simple.

Going to a retrospection mode, young Debroah was a talent-girl who had won a local beauty pageant competition in her teen days (high school senior). In her late teens, she represented Georgia in the 1976 America's Junior Miss pageant.

The competition totally changed her life. She had never thought she would move to television forfeiting her early dreams of being a lawyer. However, she decided she will go for a switch after watching CBS Television production team working behind the scenes during the beauty competition.

No wonder, she enjoys an appreciable net worth of 3 million US dollars. Awesomely, she is also a best-selling author and has her own line of yarns for Knit and crochet enthusiasts.

Nevertheless, Debroah is a bluestocking as well. She is a celebrated First Honor Journalism graduate from University of Georgia who completed "summa cum laude" scoring 4.0 grade point average in three years. Plus, she was also member of Delta Delta Delta Sorority and the Main Court of the University's Student Judiciary.
