Andrea Mitchell celebrated her 35 year anniversary with NBC News on Wednesday, which meant one great thing for media enthusiasts: vintage news clips.

On MSNBC's "Rachel Maddow Show," guest host Melissa Harris-Perry dug up one of Mitchell's first appearances on NBC News in 1978 as what was then called a general correspondent. The shaggy hairdo! The dark brown color! The 1970's power blazer!

"The incomparable Andrea Mitchell was hired by NBC News 35 years ago today, and she has not taken a break since," Harris-Perry said. Take a look at the video above to see some highlights from Mitchell's 35 year career at NBC News, including a HuffPost Media favorite: the time Mitchell was nearly buried alive in balloons at the 2008 Republican National Convention.
