Bentley, Helen Delich, 1923-2016
Helen Delich Bentley (November 28, 1923 – August 6, 2016) was an American reporter, journalist, and politician. A member of the Republican Party, she served in the United States House of Representatives from Maryland from 1985 to 1995.
Born Helen Delich in Ruth, Nevada, she grew up in the neighboring town of Ely. After graduating from White Pine High School in Ely in 1941, she attended the University of Nevada and the University of Missouri, graduating from the latter in 1944. Following her graduation, Delich worked for small-town newspapers in Fort Wayne, Indiana, and Lewiston, Idaho before being offered a reporting position at The Baltimore Sun in 1945. She initially reported on labor and union matters, but was subsequently allocated maritime and waterfront news. Beginning in 1950 Bentley hosted a local Baltimore TV program on WMAR, The Port That Built a City, presenting maritime and transportation-related news. Later retitled The Port That Built a City and State, the series was produced by Bentley until 1965 and included then-novel live remotes from the decks of ships in Baltimore harbor during the early years of television. On June 7, 1959, Helen Delich married William Bentley, a school teacher.
