<\/p>\nFormer talk show host Leeza Gibbons left Hollywood over 20 years ago, but she’s doing better than ever.<\/p>\n
Gibbons, 68, rose to fame as a correspondent for Entertainment Tonight, and went on to become instantly identifiable thanks to her legendary chat show Leeza, which ran from 1993 to 2000. While she’s dipped into reality television a few times over the years, winning Celebrity Apprentice in 2013 and competing on season four of Dancing With the Stars, the former talk show host primarily said goodbye to Hollywood in 2000 to focus on her nonprofit work. But in a new selfie posted to her Instagram Stories, the blonde beauty showed she hasn’t changed a day since her time on daytime TV. Sporting a serious face with oversized dark glasses and her trademark blonde hair, Gibbons looked more beautiful than ever.<\/p>\n

But here we are \u2014 louder, wiser, bolder, funnier, stronger, and more ourselves than we\u2019ve ever been. No, we\u2019re not invisible. We are undeniably present, and we carry lessons that younger women haven\u2019t even met yet. You\u2019re not ‘past your prime.’ You ARE the prime,” Gibbons captioned her photo, which showed her smiling under a pair of sunglasses on a sunny day. “Aging isn\u2019t the end of anything. It\u2019s the beginning of becoming unfiltered, unstoppable, and unapologetically you. If anyone can’t handle that, that’s a ‘them’ problem!”<\/p>\n Photo by Ron Galella, Ltd. on Getty Images<\/p>\n Why She Left Hollywood<\/p>\n When Gibbons said goodbye to Hollywood back in 2000, she left to fulfill her true passion: helping Alzheimer’s patient caregivers find the resources they need. She helps them connect with other caregivers through her nonprofit,\u00a0Leeza’s Care Connection<\/a>.<\/p>\n Earlier this year, Gibbons opened up to PEOPLE<\/a> about her experience with the disease, which both her mother and grandmother<\/a> died of.<\/p>\n “It’s the greatest work I’ve ever done,” Gibbons told the publication. “I always say, ‘You can’t heal it if you don’t reveal it.’ There’s tremendous power in feeling heard, in being able to relieve some of the guilt or grief<\/a> or even frustration felt by caregivers.”<\/p>\n Gibbons went on to say that running<\/a> the organization is “also the most fun. It’s the most creative; it’s the most dynamic. The only thing that really lasts is how we care for each other. And this puts me in touch with that on a daily basis.”<\/p>\n Related: Ricki Lake, 57, Looks Better Than Ever Pairing Gray Hair With Sheer Black Top After Weight Loss Journey<\/a><\/p>\n This story was originally published by Parade<\/a> on Dec 7, 2025, where it first appeared in the News<\/a> section.
