at KDKA-TV
, spending 80-hour weeks hosting and producing their Evening Magazine
show; she and Stanley Hanover appeared to have separated. They were divorced sometime after October 1980; they had no children.
By 1980, Donna Hanover had moved to Miami, Florida
; it was when she was working as an anchor at Miami's WSVN
that she met Giuliani. The couple moved in together in 1982 while Giuliani was still married to his first wife, but they had been separated since 1976. Giuliani had his first marriage annulled in late 1983. They then later moved to Washington, D.C.
and then New York, and were married there on April 15, 1984. Hanover began working for WPIX
Channel 11 television in New York in 1983, and was the lead anchor for its 10 p.m. newscast for much of the 1980s. She also appeared on the syndicated Wall Street Journal Report. She left her anchor role during Giuliani's unsuccessful 1989 bid for mayor to go on maternity leave. Hanover had two children with Giuliani, Andrew Harold (born 1986) and Caroline Rose (born 1989). She began to use Donna Hanover Giuliani as her name in some contexts, but still used Donna Hanover in others. She left WPIX entirely in 1990, and did some freelance work for New York's WNYW
Channel 5 in 1992 and 1993.
Channel 5's morning Good Day New York
show, rotating anchor of WNYW's Good Day Sunday program, and a co-anchor on the national cable Food Network
's Food News and Views program. She balanced these positions with her political and mother roles by eschewing some of the production work she had done in the past. In addition, she worked from time to time as a radio disc jockey
for New York's WYNY
. The dual, concurrent roles as a journalist and political wife led to discussions of a possible conflict of interest, but even Giuliani political opponents such as Peter Vallone, Sr.
respected her professionalism.
Hanover branched out into acting, having a prominent role as real-life presidential sister Ruth Carter Stapleton
in the 1996 film The People vs. Larry Flynt
; noted critic Frank Rich
called her performance brilliant. She also appeared in the feature film Ransom that same year as a WNYW reporter. By 1996, she had reverted to only using Donna Hanover as her name and her public appearances with Rudy Giuliani became few. By 1997 there were published reports of his having an affair with mayoral aide Cristyne Lategano, and by 2000 with Judith Nathan
. Hanover continued her acting work, appearing from 1997 on in episodes of the television series Law & Order
in a recurring role as Judge Deborah Burke, and also appearing on series such as Family Law
, The Practice
, Sex and the City
, and Ally McBeal
.
In April 2000, Hanover accepted the lead role in Eve Ensler
's play The Vagina Monologues
, a feminist work that was known for previously casting high-profile actresses such as Gillian Anderson
, Melissa Etheridge
, Calista Flockhart
and Winona Ryder
, among others. Veteran New Yorker
contributor Peter J. Boyer asserted that Hanover's acceptance of the role was a "well-struck blow" because Ensler was "an outspoken critic of Giuliani's policies." Before Hanover's debut, she postponed (and later canceled) her participation in The Vagina Monologues on May 2 to support her husband a week after it was announced he had prostate cancer
. On the evening after announcing his cancer diagnosis, reporters observed Giuliani having "a romantic dinner" with Judith Nathan
, the woman who would be identified as his lover. Just one more week later, Rudy Giuliani announced that he and Hanover were officially separated at a press conference on May 10. Per friends of Ms. Hanover, Giuliani had neglected to tell Hanover either of his decision or of the press conference and moments later, with cameras taping her reaction, reporters at her residence apparently shocked her with this info and she was visibly distraught by the unexpected news.
Giuliani filed for divorce in October 2000. Hanover and Giuliani stopped cohabiting at the end of his term in December 2001. Hanover counter filed in June 2002. After ugly public battles between representatives of the two, the divorce was finalized in July 2002 after he left office as Mayor; Hanover was awarded $6.8 million and custody of their two children.
. The two had dated in high school and in college, but had not spoken with each other for more than 20 years, until after Hanover's divorce from Giuliani. In 2005, Hanover published the book My Boyfriend's Back: 50 True Stories of Reconnecting with a Long-Lost Love, relating her story as well as those of others who had rejoined with lost loves. She lives in both New York and California.
She continued to work at the Food Network
, co-anchoring its In Food Today program. During 2005, she also hosted the Fine Living
cable channel's Homes & Hideaways program. She did fill-in work for New York radio station WOR
for several years, then joined it on a full-time basis in February 2006, working first with co-host Ed Walsh and then as of August 2006 with Joe Bartlett. The latter pairing subsequently won an award for best broadcasting team. In May 2008 the two were replaced in the morning slot by the returning John R. Gambling
, but she remains with the station as a film critic and fill-in host. Hanover also worked as an adjunct professor at New York University
's Department of Journalism.
