I honestly never heard of her but rest in peace

That’s at least six decades of giving good hummers.

I sat next to her in the 90's at a restaurant in LA. So there's that. I guess. Oh, she also smiled at the wife and I when we were seated. So there's that as well.

Damn, I'm sorry to hear she passed on. RIP Dr. Ruth. Wonder who's going to be #3 this weekend. Not that I believe in that, but it does tend to happen quite a bit.

Her show was entertaining before the internet... Quite controversial at the time. RIP

Honestly, I thought she was already dead. RIP.

Listening to a 4' 7" tall, old German grandmother with a heavy accent teaching you all about sex was entertaining to say the least.

She had a great sense of humor too.

Westheimer was born in Germany to a Jewish family. As the Nazis came to power, her parents sent the 10-year-old girl to a school in Switzerland for safety while they remained behind because of her elderly grandmother. Both were killed in concentration camps. After World War II, she emigrated to British-controlled Mandatory Palestine. At 4 feet 7 inches tall and 17 years of age, she joined the Haganah (the IDF), and was trained as a sniper. On her 20th birthday, she was wounded in action by an exploding shell during mortar fire on Jerusalem during the 1947–1949 Israeli War of Independence, and almost lost both feet.

That is one badass woman.

At 4'7", did she have a flat head and no teeth? The perfect woman...

She was AWESOME. Couldn’t have had a better guest on any talk show. Great sense of humor, super intelligent by all accounts a terrific person who found an amazing niche discussing sexuality, relationships, etc…. She’s the personification of the “American dream”, especially considering where she came from. What a life. RIP Dr. Ruth! You were one of a kind!

She was always a great guest on Letterman.
RIP sex talkin' lady.

Never heard of her.
