This is the best looking exercise lady I've seen on TV.

3:05 this hand exercise should be practiced everyday.

She taped 130 quarter-hour episodes in the 1960-'61 season.....and repeated endlessly on local stations for years (in New York, she was seen on WNEW-TV, Channel 5).

She's still alive & kicking, around 91 years old according to articles on line.

[@fromthesidelines]

Yep! She still exercises, too.

So...I saw this beauty live in my hometown birthplace of Indianapolis back in, I think 1959 but, probabily it was in 1960. I was 9 to 10 years old. Had by then in the family I was brought up at 5 girls, and two boys. Debbie was doing a "live show" from a furniture/appliance store that was popular in the Indy area. Somehow, we found out about her show to be broadcasted (or taped) just two or three blocks where we all lived.
Kinda of neat, we thought to see a "star" live doing her "lady exercise routines". Oh well...
I think she has passed on some years ago.

Ms. Drake is in her early 90s and is still alive and kicking.
