Haven’t heard her on the air in at least 20 years. Interesting.
She is not a psychologist. She thinks she has all the answers. She is a successful fraud.
I remember one show long ago. I’ve always remembered the requisites she spelled out for true love - if you don’t have these, it ain’t gonna last: respect, admiration and awe.
I thought she was DEAD, professionally and literally.
I used to listen to her. One time I was listening with my kids in the car and she was so unnecessarily crude about some sexual matter that I had to change stations. I believe that was the last time I listened.
Her photo is of a very young Dr. Laura.
Used to hear her on the morning drive around the turn of the millennium. Then when 9/11 hit they had like 2 weeks of wall to wall news coverage. When they finally went back to regular programming, Dr. Laura was gone and had been replaced by some weird guy named Glenn Beck.
So I literally have not heard Dr. Laura since 9-10-2001. I just assumed she had retired. Had no idea she was still in radio.
I always thought Dr. Toni Grant was a Hottie, way back when.
Something in her voice.
I’ll have to Google her and see if she is still breathing.
The one show I will never forget was when she read a letter from a man who admittedly was having an affair. He described the emotional pain of being married to a woman who refused to have sex with him; and when she did have sex with him, it was only to manipulate him into giving her something she wanted.
After reading that letter, one of Dr. Laura’s first questions to women calling in about their husbands having a affair was, “How easy is it for your husband to have sex with you?” Her point was that a woman who withholds sex from her husband can be a big part of the reason the husband went outside the marriage for sex and some respect.
I remember 20 years ago when she cried on the air when she realized that people born Jewish did not really accept her converted to Judaism status. Always thought she was needlessly mean to sad, confused people that called her for advice. Was happy when she was dropped from my local conservative station.
I miss Dr Laura, since she left AM radio.
Dave Ramsey has partially filled her void, at list in the personal financial area.
