Did anybody really, ever, apart from the odd case of a concealed sub-miniature in a "photography forbidden" venue? I distinctly remember considering the reporter sleuth hero consistently carrying a Rollei 16 as one of the more glaring props errors in some early seventies (perhaps Italian?) vampire movie I once saw on a trash film festival...

You don't mean Carl Kolchak? But I am thinking that your use of the term world famous for a reporter must mean a TV fictional character.
bingo.
Kolchak is world famous,
in the cameras in movies / TV world.
see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kolchak:_The_Night_Stalker
most Kolchak internet pundits describe his camera as a 110,
or even as a digital!
Kolchak fans, if you found this thread on google
you can find out more about Kolchak's camera here:
