For the better part of a decade, soon-to-be First Lady Melania Trump has been well known for her regal appearance and demeanor.

However, a video clip recently resurfaced which showed that Mrs. Trump once had a very different career.   

Incoming first lady was a special correspondent for "Extra" television show

As the website Inquisitr pointed out earlier this week, she worked as a special correspondent for the entertainment-themed television show "Extra."

That fact was recalled in an "Extra" segment which largely focused on President-elect Donald Trump but also contained a brief segment focused on his wife.

"And before she was Mrs. Trump, the soon-to-be first lady was once our special correspondent," a narrator's voice says as Melania can be heard using her maiden name.

Mrs. Trump "was captivated" by husband's "charm and easygoing nature"

Mrs. Trump's past also came up in her self-titled memoir which was released earlier this year. Among the topics it covered was how she met her husband.

"I was captivated by his charm and easygoing nature," the Post quoted her as saying of the future president when the pair initially encountered one another at a New York Fashion Week event in September of 1998.

The incoming first lady recalled how media outlets were quick to dismiss her as a "gold digger," a label she immediately rejected.

Mrs. Trump pointed out how she had already become a successful model by the late 1990s and thus could have "easily have captured the attention of numerous celebrities."

Barron was "bullied" after Rosie O'Donnell suggested that he has autism

Not all of the memories which she shared were positive, though, as Mrs. Trump also revisited an incident in which her son Barron was falsely described as having autism by television personality Rosie O'Donnell.

"Barron's experience of being bullied both online and in real life following the incident is a clear indication of the irreparable damage caused," Mrs. Trump wrote according to the Independent.

"There is nothing shameful about autism (though O’Donnell’s tweet implied that there was), but Barron is not autistic," she explained.

Mrs. Trump then went on to accuse O'Donnell of engaging in "sheer malice" and added that she "was appalled by such cruelty."
