Web Extra: Diana Nyad


Diana Nyad, 64, became the first person to swim from Cuba to Florida without the assistance of a shark cage. The Lake Forest native completed the journey in about 53 hours. Back in 1978, Chicago Tonight host John Callaway interviewed Nyad in an episode of Callaway Interviews on WTTW11. Watch the web extra video from our archives.
