Kathy Lee Gifford – Born 1953

Kathy Lee Gifford seems to be everywhere, so if you haven’t been hiding under a rock lately, you likely know her face. Her bubbly personality, quick wit, and charm have landed her a number of profitable roles in television, including Live! With Regis And Kathy Lee and The Today Show. She is also an accomplished author, singer, and songwriter.

Gifford was the subject of some unfortunate scrutiny with regard to her weight–her naturally slim frame incited rumors of an eating disorder or surgery. She fires back at critics, being a vocal advocate against body shaming, and she is able to rise above the barbs of her critics and shine like the star she is.
