Video: Do you remember Ricki Lake?
Popular talk show host Ricki Lake shares a video of herself from then and now...
We remember Ricki Lake from her talk show that aired on eTV back in the day.
She was bubbly, everyone's friend, and memorable. Her talk show career may have been a little Jerry Springer with a smidge of wanting to be more like Dr. Phil, but it was aired for free so we didn't complain. Plus, sometimes it's nice to hear about other people's problems.
But did you know that in 1988, she played Tracy Turnblad in 'Hairspray'?
Ricki Lake shared a video earlier this month showing a flashback of one of the scenes from the movie when she danced confidently, and then she shared how she looked now when dancing in her living area.
Watch her confidence as she played the role of Tracy Turnblad in the short clip from TikTok.
