In reply to the discussion: Why did Mrs. Greenspan Automatically Think of Hillary When She Saw This Ad? [View all]JDPriestly
(57,936 posts)I would probably not answer if you called me Miss ______, my maiden name. It has been too long. If I had chosen to continue to use my maiden name, then maybe I would answer when called it. But unless Andrea Mitchell chose to keep her maiden (I assume Mitchell is her maiden name) name when she married, then she is Mrs. Greenspan. Does anyone know whether she opted out of changing her name when married? She can call herself pretty much what she wants on TV. I don't know what Andrea Mitchell would think about being called Mrs. Greenspan. That is my point. It's really up to her. And what she is called on TV may simply be the result of what she was called when she built her career.
It's very possible that Andrea Mitchell is her maiden name and her professional name.
She married her second husband, former Federal Reserve Chairman Alan Greenspan, twenty years her senior, on April 6, 1997 following a lengthy relationship.[20] Previously, she was married to Gil Jackson; that marriage ended in divorce in the mid-1970s.

She married Greenspan in 1997, so she could have changed her name from Jackson back to Mitchell and not taken the Greenspan name.
This is complicated, and we probably should not try to guess and judge. She is married to Greenspan.
