Early Life

Adult Life
Murphy was at one point a heavy drinker and chain smoker,{{sup| and was admitted to the Betty Ford Clinic for the period of one month{{sup| in August{{sup| of 1988, where she detoxed and subsequently returned to work. Before her detox, she reportedly had a daily habit of walking into work late at 10 AM, insulting at least three people in the office, grabbing a cup of black coffee, smoking a cigarette, and locking herself in her personal office until she found a suitable idea for next Wednesday’s FYI broadcast.{{sup| After her return from Betty Ford, she started a habit of chewing No. 2 soft pencils as a replacement for smoking.{{sup| Almost immediately after her return to FYI, Miles secured Murphy an interview with controversial figure Bobby Powell,{{sup| under the stipulation that she was not allowed to ask him whether or not he had an affair with vice presidential candidate of indeterminate party, Gwen Lansing.{{sup| Despite this proviso, Murphy asked the question right out of the gate.{{sup|

== Murphy Brown's personality would be best described as ‘Mike Wallace in a dress’ because of her hard-hitting questions she asks Politicians. She is also known for herself absorbed attitude and take no prisoners vibe. ==
