Her editors at the Fort Worth Star-Telegram sent her to cover a story on the Women's Army Corps (WAC), the women's branch of the United States Army during World War II.[1] The story changed Walker's career, as she enlisted in the Women's Army Corps soon after covering corps.[1][2] Through WAC, Walker was posted to Europe, where she joined the staff of Stars and Stripes newspaper's Paris edition as a reporter in 1945.[1][2] She married Godfrey Anderson, a World War II correspondent for the Associated Press, at a ceremony in Frankfurt, Germany, on October 4, 1946.[1] The couple lived in Germany, Belgium and Sweden before moving to Paris, France.[3] She joined the Associated Press as the news service's European fashion editor, based from Paris.[1][3] She interviewed some of the largest figures in fashion during post-war period, including Christian Dior and Coco Chanel.[1] Designer Yves Lanvin of the fashion house, Lanvin, named one of his dresses for Nadeane Walker.[1] Walker worked as a London correspondent for the International Herald Tribune and a freelance reporter for numerous other newspapers and magazines after leaving the AP.[1] Walker moved back to her native Texas in 1970 and took a position as a reporter for the Dallas Times-Herald.[1] However, the United States Department of Labor launched an investigation into both gender discrimination and age discrimination at the Dallas Times-Herald. Walker cooperated with the Department of Labor's probe and was subsequently fired by the newspaper.[1] She joined a lawsuit filed by the Department of Labor in 1981; the suit led to a change of employment procedures at the Dallas Times-Herald.[1] Walker continued to work as a freelance writer for the next two decades.[2] Walker moved to Austin, Texas, with her daughter after the death of Godfrey Anderson in 1999.[1] She died in Austin of natural causes on January 7, 2013, at the age of 91.
