Rest in peace, Helen Thomas. What an incredible person you were!!! BREAKING NEWS ALERT Saturday, July 20, 2013 10:27 AM EDT Helen Thomas, Who Broke Down Barriers as White House Reporter, Is Dead at 92 Helen Thomas, whose bottomless curiosity and an unquenchable drive made her a prominent White House reporter at a time when men dominated the profession, died Saturday at her apartment in Washington. She was 92. Her death, which came after a long illness, was announced by the Gridiron Club and Foundation, where Ms. Thomas had been a former president. Ms. Thomas covered every president from John F. Kennedy to Barack Obama for United Press International and, later, Hearst Newspapers. Colleagues called her the unofficial dean of the White House press corps. Her blunt questions and sharp tone made her a familiar personality not only in the sometimes parochial universe inside the Beltway but also to nationwide television audiences.
