Mindy then went on to report for television’s Entertainment Tonight and since made a successful career covering the world of entertainment for KTLA's award-winning News at Ten and the KTLA Morning News. She’s won a Golden Mike Award, and was nominated for two Emmy’s and for “Entertainment Reporter of the Year” by the Publicists Guild.

Along with a busy career as a mother, stepmother, grandmother. narrator, television personality and host, Mindy and her husband Glenn stay active in philanthropy through the Stearns Family Charitable Foundation to support charities that help disadvantaged children.
