Before reaching her most recent milestone, Dr. Ruth Westheimer, a sex therapist and distinctive radio talk show host who rose to fame in the 1980s, opens up.
As she approaches her 95th birthday, Dr. Ruth Westheimer says, “I never gave any thought to whether will I make it or not.”
“I’m right here, right now. Fortunately, I have a great sense of humor. Additionally, according to Jewish tradition, if you use humor when teaching, your students will retain what you said.”
From there, she met Manfred Westheimer, whom she later married and had two children with. She then relocated to New York City, where she made her first fifteen-minute public radio program, Ask Dr. Ruth, into a showbiz success.
Dr. Ruth talks about living in her tenth decade while still going strong.
