“ He was no jack Lalane.”
No he wasn’t.
Simmons wasn’t really a fitness guru.
He encouraged women to exercise.
He went for hair plugs, plastic surgery, tummy tucks.
I remember being a kid and saw him on Merv Griffin before he got household name famous talking about all these things, the hair transplant, tummy tucks.
Now being reported he took a fall last night and it may be related to his death
He also was a semi-regular in the late 70’s or early 80’s, on “General Hospital”! He was on there at around the “Luke and Laura” era. He aparently played himself, doing a fitness class in a disco club frequented by some of the younger characters.
