For 19 years, Sally Jessy Raphael, with her signature red glasses, talked the talk with more than 10,000 guests. In 1983, she became the first woman to host a syndicated daytime talk show. She started in radio and got her big break on television at the urging of one famous fan—Phil Donahue. Her final show aired in 2002.
