\nSally Lowenthal, also known as Sally Jessy Raphael, was a daytime television regular in the 1980s and 1990s, but now she\u2019s having problems being recognized.\n
The former talk show presenter moved to Instagram, saying that the social media platform failed to authenticate her account despite her submitting evidence of identification.\n
\u201cSo, Instagram doesn\u2019t want to give me my blue check, no matter what proof I send them,\u201d the 89-year-old said beside a photo of a massive blue checkmark. \u201cAND there is a bogus account called\u2019realsallyjr\u2019, which is NOT ME! Help me notify Instagram so that we can fix this.\u201d\n
\n
Raphael started presenting The Sally. The Jessy Raphael Show, subsequently known as Sally, premiered in October 1983. She presented the tabloid-style show until May 2002.\n
Her show was one of the first syndicated talk shows to allow audience involvement. She helped lead the path for women in the profession, notably Oprah, whose program debuted three years after Sally\u2019s.\n
Raphael interviewed several celebrities over the span of 20 seasons, but Audrey Hepburn was always her favorite.\n
\n
\u201cI was so awestruck, I could hardly ask a question. Everything she did, I admired. Everything she had done in her life I found to be exemplary,\u201d she told the DailyMail.\n
Raphael has maintained a trademark style throughout her career and even in retirement, which distinguishes her from the throng.\n
When production began for The Sally Jessy Raphael Show, she discovered she couldn\u2019t see the teleprompter.\n
\u201cWhen we first started, I glanced at the teleprompter and exclaimed, \u201cI can\u2019t read that!\u201d \u201cI am going blind!\u201d\n
While looking for a new prescription, Raphael stumbled upon an advertisement offering an eye test, glasses, and a Pap smear. Despite the strange advertisement, the talk show host scheduled an appointment.\n
During the appointment she was told she would need a more expensive pair of glasses, but unfortunately they only color they had was red.\n
\u201cYou got it,\u201d Raphael said.\n
Although she had not anticipated the difficulties she would experience from the producers of her program.\n
\n
\u201cI had to battle to get the spectacles. Producers attempted to modify them. \u201cThose shadowy figures objected to everything.\u201d\n
She has subsequently collected more than 200 pairs of red spectacles.\n
Raphael has less than 650 Instagram followers as of August 2, but her admirers are equally as vocal, if not more so, in their devotion.\n
\u201cThe Icon, the Legend of daytime TV, Ms. Sally Jessy Raphael needs her Blue Check Mark ?\u201d\n
\u201cThat\u2019s pretty crazy that someone as famous as you are is having trouble with being recognized. I\u2019m trying to understand what the issue is though\u201d\n
\u201cWe should flood your feed with blue hearts it\u2019s so much better than a blue checkmark\u201d\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
