For nine years, she was the face of KGUN 9 news, or NewsCenter 9 as it was known then. Nina Trasoff was an anchor and reporter at KGUN from the mid 70's to the mid 80's.

TUCSON, Ariz. — She once danced for JFK at the white house. Later she anchored the news on KGUN 9. Even years after leaving the public eye Nina Trasoff still embodies the Spirit of Southern Arizona.

"I look back at some of the stories I did, and some of the documentaries, and I'm very proud of those things," Trasoff said."Before I came to Tucson I was a professional dancer. I worked on Broadway, I danced at the White House for John Kennedy as a teenager, I did three of the biggest flops in Broadway history" Trasoff said."Then I moved to Los Angeles and did a lot of television and some nightclub work with Sammy Davis, and Charlie Rich in Vegas.

"Then I found I really fell in love with Tucson and the fact that you could make a difference here, as a journalist. You could tell stories that could actually impact people's lives because of the size of this community and I loved KGUN," said Trasoff."We decided this is where we wanted to live and raise our children. So, I've been here for almost 46 years."
