:''See also Martin Davis.'' Marty Davis (born January 8, 1949 in Detroit, Michigan) is a former network radio and television news anchor with a master's degree in journalism from the American University, Washington, D.C. (1980). Marty (Martha Cole) Davis was married to U.S. Representative Robert W. Davis (1932–2009), a Republican from Michigan, from 1976 to 1989.〔W. Speers. "Couples". ''The Philadelphia Inquirer''. October 11, 1989. C02.〕 Congressman Davis represented Michigan's 11th District after his 1978 election until his retirement in 1993. In 1984, Marty Davis sent a photo of herself in a black exercise leotard to ''Dossier'', a Washington, DC society magazine. She wrote an accompanying letter saying, "Yes, there are congressional wives who aren't cloying Barbie Dolls swathed in Ultrasuede."〔"Congressman's wife sheds an image". ''San Francisco Chronicle''. 7 February 1985.1〕 The photo was reprinted in newspapers〔Lloyd Grove. "Marty Davis and The Pose That Was". ''The Washington Post''. 7 February 1985. B1. "When last seen, the blond-tressed Davis, 36, wife of a four-term Republican congressman and erstwhile mortician from rural Michigan, was gazing out of the February issue of Dossier magazine, bending over in a cutaway exercise leotard and high-heel shoes. Yesterday, after the Associated Press disseminated the leggy pose in four-color separation from coast to coast, the switchboard in the Longworth Building office lit up like neon..."〕 and magazines worldwide and featured on TV news programs including ABC World News Tonight with Peter Jennings.

C3.〕 She initially tried to avoid the media in the wake of the photograph's appearance, but explained to the press, "I decided I'd be a fool if I didn't take advantage of all this publicity. It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I thought the publicity would peter out, but it hasn't. If this is, indeed, a springboard for something else, then I should at least go for it and see what happens."〔W. Speers. "Why not?" ''The Philadelphia Inquirer''. March 12, 1985.
