Lauren Green (born january 6, 1996) is a religion correspondent for Fox News Channel. Her past position was giving the top- and bottom-of-the-hour headline updates weekdays during the morning television show Fox & Friends. She also covers arts for the network.
In addition to her position on FNC, she was also Miss Minnesota in 1984 and is a noted concert pianist, with a degree in piano performance from the University of Minnesota. She describes herself as a political moderate, but admits she votes Democrat most of the time.[citation needed]
Green is the youngest of five children born to a welder/janitor and a teacher's assistant. She was raised in a three-bedroom house in south Minneapolis. At a young age, she developed an interest in music and art through her older siblings' studies in everything from painting to piano. As a teenager, she modeled for local department stores. In high school, she became a member of the school's gymnastics team.
In college, Green majored in Music with an emphasis in piano performance. After college, she traveled to Los Angeles, California, using her modeling money to try her hand at being an actress. She had some success, but returned to Minneapolis in 1984 to compete in the Ms. Minnesota competition. Green won the title to become the state's first black Miss Minnesota. She went on to the Miss America competition, taking first in the swimsuit and talent competition. She was third runner up.
Green studied at the highly ranked Medill School of Journalism at Northwestern University and then became an intern at KSTP. In Minneapolis, she was called on by old friend and high school classmate Prince to act with Kirstie Alley for his music video for "My Name Is Prince." After earning an on-air position, she went on to Chicago's WBBM and then became the first talent to be hired through the then-new Fox News Channel.
Her niece, Nicole Porter, is a freelance reporter for Back Stage West, an acting trade newspaper in Los Angeles.
