Today Live! Glitter and gold! Certainly one of Hollywood's most glamorous ladies, Ruta Lee is also one of its most multifaceted and top-notched civic contributors, with over 2000 appearances on shows from Perry Mason to Power Rangers, Twilight Zone to Murder She Wrote, Hogan's Heroes to Love Boat, and Roseanne. Lee also co-hosted on NBC's High Rollers with Alex Trebek, was a regular on Hollywood Squares with Peter Marshall, and made several television movies. She had series leads in CBS' Coming of Age and HBO's 1st and Ten. Her stints on the Bonnie Hunt Show remain among her favorites.

Critics have raved about all of her stage roles, but two stand out as favorites, The Unsinkable Molly Brown and Goodbye Charlie. Lee's performance in the former was described by composer Meredith Willson as "The greatest Molly of them all and had Ruta Lee created the role on Broadway, the original production would still be running." More recently she took a star turn in the critically acclaimed Steel Magnolias at Garry Marshall's Falcon Theater as well as Fort Worth's Casa Manana and Funny Business at the L.A.'s Coronet. She headlined 4 seasons of the hit musical revue, Senior Class, at the Annenberg Theater, in Palm Springs.

Ruta is highly acclaimed for her leadership role in The Thalians, a charitable organization that is committed to good mental health from pediatric to geriatric. She's been either chairman or president for over 45 years, roles exchanged between herself and Debbie Reynolds. The Thalians honored Ruta for her dedication to mental health, where she joined the ranks of previous honorees, Gene Kelly, Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Mary Tyler Moore, Whoopi Goldberg, Angela Lansbury, and Clint Eastwood, to name just a few.

The woman is a powerhouse- CRAZY GORGEOUS and how can you not love a woman whose book is entitled, Consider Your Ass Kissed! https://amzn.to/3mB2ZAy

Here’s my shot of Ruta Lee at The Hollywood Forever cemetery for the 'I Am Burt Reynolds' Premiere and Monument Unveiling. Ruta is always the belle of the ball. I was DeLuco see her after all this time. She was as charming and engaging as ever. She was one among many that came to celebrate Burt Reynolds memory. #rutalee @burt_reynolds_fan_club @hwdforever #burtreynolds #thelastmoviestar https://www.instagram.com/p/CUImpQFvbbB/?utm_medium=tumblr
