Mary Elizabeth Marquis MBE (born 11 March 1934), born as Mary Elizabeth Caughie, is a former leading interviewer and presenter on BBC Scotland from the mid-1960s, and became the face of the network's evening news programme Reporting Scotland until 1988, including the whole of the 1970s Nationwide era when input from BBC broadcasters based at the corporation's other studios around the UK contributed to a national programme.
She has subsequently been involved with various arts, medical and academic organisations, and also did a series of live interviews at the Edinburgh Festival.
[9] RCS awards an annual Mary Marquis prize for student performance in television, commemorating her time there.
[10] In 1962 she married Jack Anderson, a Glasgow (subsequently also Canada and London)-based architect and lecturer, and a son David was born two years later.
Although expecting to be dismissed, she continued to appear on screen almost until the birth (including one interview conducted on a roof), and was back in the studio afterwards within six weeks.
