WHET to Susan Powter ?
Susan Powter was the crazy Aussie dynamo who was all over American TVs in the 80s and 90s begging us to 'Stop the Insanity!' She did exercise videos, diet books, infomericals, a television talk show, and much more that gained her quite a following. She had short blond hair and white pale skin - sort of Tabatha Coffey before Tabatha Coffey graced out screens. She made loads of money, then filed for bankruptcy in the late 90s (I think it was because she owed the IRS so much in taxes).
Last I heard about Powter, she came out as a lesbian in the mid-2000s, after two marriages and two children. Don't know if she still has her diet empire these days.
(Speaking of Coffey, whatever happened to her ? She dropped off the radar !)

She dropped the health angle and sort of morphed in Suze Orman.

Last time I saw her was over 10 years ago, when she was a judge on RuPaul’s Drag Race with LaToya Jackson. She looked just like she did in the 90s.

Her social media is private now, but there are several old threads noting her strange, cryptic postings on Twitter. I think she may be bipolar.
To her credit, she admitted she was wrong about carbs. She also admitted to being an alcoholic during her Stop the Insanity! years.

I keep getting her and Sinead O'Connor mixed up. All White bald chicks look the same to me.
