Maggie Morris Smolensky (born Margaret Glenesk Beal, December 10, 1925; died September 4, 2014) was a Canadian radio and television personality of the 1960s best known as a panellist on the CBC Television show ''Flashback'' and as one of the first women on the CBC English language announce staff.
==Career==
Maggie Morris began her professional career in radio drama in Winnipeg in 1954, moving to Ottawa in 1955 where her TV career included co-hosting the local programs ''Contact'' and ''Diplomatic Passport''. In 1962 in Toronto, she won a spot on ''Flashback'', a new national CBC TV quiz show where she was the only cast member to remain for all six seasons 〔(Blaine Allen: Queen's Film and Media )〕(1962–1968).
Morris was accepted as a summer relief announcer on the CBC announce staff in Ottawa in 1961 and Toronto in 1963, the only woman to be so employed on the English language network. She joined the staff on contract in 1969, still the only woman.〔''Globe and Mail'' May 17, 1969, Toronto, by Leslie Millin p. 30〕 Her contract was renewed twice before she was fired in April 1970, making headlines across the country.〔''Globe and Mail'' April 3, 1970, Toronto, p. 11 "CBC drops Maggie Morris as announcer"〕〔Canadian Press, national, including ''Toronto Star'' April 2, 1970, p. 1 "CBC fires her for 'phony English accent'"〕 The CBC hired its first permanent female staff announcer (Jan Tennant) later that year.〔( Susan Crean: Newsworthy: The Lives of Media Women, p. 109 )〕
Maggie Morris's subsequent careers included working in public relations for Bell Canada and the Royal Winnipeg Ballet. Volunteer activities included reading for the CNIB in the Recording Library for the Blind for 25 years, and writing letters for Amnesty International.
