Ainsley Earhardt was a little girl in Spartanburg, South Carolina, with two big dreams: to live in New York City, and to anchor a morning show. She got both. After years of hard work, she now wakes at 3:30 every morning to anchor Fox & Friends, the most-watched show on cable news, which she's co-hosted for a decade, making her a familiar face in millions of American living rooms.
