29. Jeanne Beker: Fashion, Fighting Cancer and Facing Life With Optimism

September 26, 2024

She was the face of fashion for almost 30 years as the host of Fashion Television - the show that gave us front row seats to the biggest names in Paris, London and Milan. Jeanne Beker blazed a trail that nobody has been able to replicate ever since. Now, in her new book, "Heart on My Sleeve", she takes us into her closet and shares amazing stories each connected with a special item of clothing. From encounters and interviews with the most famous people in the world, to finding love again after two divorces, to sharing her breast cancer diagnosis and recovery. I also share the time I first saw Jeanne at work in the same building and ask her what challenges she faced coming up in the TV business. Jeanne reminds us that a life lived with fashion and substance is always in style.
