[1] As the daughter of a State Department foreign service employee, she lived in eight countries and learned to speak four languages.
[4] After moving to the Washington, D. C. area, in 1970 she began working at a series of regional radio stations, beginning with the overnight program at WHFS, a suburban Maryland outlet.
However, the station owner did not want the show to be labeled as a "husband and wife team", so Camille had to adopt the pseudonym of "Laura Walters".
At the time of the move Camille was quoted as saying: "People ask how we can be together so much, but my answer is that we're making up for the first five years when I was a DJ at night and Jim did news during the day and we never saw each other.
Camille Bohannon later moved back to the Washington, D.C. area, where she generally continued to use her married name, while sometimes broadcasting using the pseudonym "Ann Taylor".
