If Anna Marie Birkedahl looks familiar to you, it may be because you've seen her face on Memphis television as Anna Marie Hartman, reporter and weekend anchor on WMC-TV since 1995. A less familiar fact is that Birkedahl attended Carnegie Mellon University where she studied opera.
After college she relocated to Atlanta GA. where she took a job as a classical music announcer and eventually landed a news anchor position at Georgia Public Radio and Television. In her spare time she performed in various rock and pop bands and numerous musical theater productions..
Birkedahl moved to Memphis in 1995 to work for WMC. In 1998 she met Brad Birkedahl. (First date: Graceland, of course!) In 2005 they tied the knot (hence the "similar" last name). Fast forward to 2010 where Anna Marie joins her husband on stage for the first time in their careers.
