News Corp Lawyer First Line of Defense Against Pie Protestor

Thursday, 21 July 2011 | by Pat's Picks

By now we all know who Wendi Deng is…and what a good right hook she has but who’s the lady in gray? The New York Times dug around and identified the woman who first came to Rupert Murdoch’s defense on Tuesday, when a protestor attempted to pie him in the face. Her name is Janet Nova and she’s a News Corp. lawyer. What a way to impress the boss. Nova, whose been with the company since 1997, is 46 years old, is a Princeton and Columbia Law School graduate and is based in New York. Oh, and she has cat-like reflexes.
