Susan Powter

From Paula S - Hey Mr. Pop History!  Got a question for you. My husband has a coworker that just went from red head to white blonde and short after she lost weight and got buff.

She reminds me of that woman on TV (in the 80's it think--maybe into the 90's) who was into TV fitness, I think infomercials, diet, exercise: white hair, sort of a flat top.... a little loud if I remember correctly. Can you help us out? Thanks so much.

Mr. Pop History – It’s the one and only “Stop The Insanity” Susan Powter who was featured on late night infomercials prominently during the mid 1990’s. 

Come back soon, as I answer, to the best of my knowledge, another one of your pop history/culture questions.
