Employees from rival channels joined together to celebrate Fox Business Network anchor Melissa Francis’ “Diary of a Stage Mother’s Daughter” on Thursday night at Astra in the Decoration and Design Building. We’re told Francis held a rope in her hand and joked that they should split into teams for a tug of war while she thanked guests including Fox News Channel chief Roger Ailes, Megyn Kelly, Neil Cavuto, Liz Claman, NBC’s Hoda Kotb, Contessa Brewer and CNBC’s Tyler Mathisen. A former child actress, Francis started her career in a commercial at 6 months old and later played Cassandra Cooper Ingalls on “Little House on the Prairie.”
