Do you remember Dr. Ruth? As 91-year-old Ruth Westheimer gears up to have a Hulu special called Ask Dr. Ruth, we remember where she came from. She is a famous sex therapist, author, and television personality that gained fame in the 1980s. She is still going today and even tweets at 91!

While many people shied away from talking about sex in the ’80s, Dr. Ruth challenged people to talk about it. She had a radio show called Sexually Speaking and has hosted several television shows. She has also written 40 books! Have you read any of her books? While many are on the subject of sexual health, she has even written children’s books and an autobiography.
