Before Sarah Rafferty was giving everyone advice on Suits, she was given advice from Dr. Ruth Westheimer. How organic was the 25-year-old in that 1998 commercial?
To read the actress wrote about the recently departed legend, then
Trail blazer, orphan, survivor, icon, professor, refugee, change maker, uplifter…..
I remember the moment in 1998, in a studio in Queens, when I heard that wildly familiar and remarkable radio voice actually embodied by the small but mighty Dr. Ruth Westheimer. She was a magical lifter of spirits. Her joy was contagious, her wit razor sharp, her gaze deeply connected. Spending two days with Dr Ruth shooting a hair commercial was a career highlight, hilarious and unforgettable. I was beyond thrilled to see her again in 2015, and she was as gracious and vibrant as ever. Rest in Peace and thank you, Dr. Ruth.
