Once a popular daytime TV host in the 80s and 90s, Sally Lowenthal, also known as Sally Jessy Raphael, is now having trouble with people recognizing her.
The former talk show host recently posted on Instagram that the social media company refused to verify her account, even though she provided proof of her identity.
“So, Instagram doesn’t want to give me my blue check – no matter what proof I send them,” the 89-year-old wrote next to a huge blue checkmark. “AND there’s a fake account called ‘realsallyjr’, and that’s NOT ME! Help me let Instagram know so we can fix this.”
Raphael started hosting *The Sally Jessy Raphael Show*, later called *Sally*, in October 1983 and continued until May 2002. Her show was one of the first to involve audience participation and helped pave the way for other female hosts, including Oprah, whose show started three years later.
Over 20 seasons, Raphael interviewed many celebrities but always said Audrey Hepburn was her favorite.
“I 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,” she told the Daily Mail.

Throughout her career and even after she retired, Sally Jessy Raphael has had a distinctive look that makes her easily recognizable.
When she started filming *The Sally Jessy Raphael Show*, she realized she couldn’t read the teleprompter.
She said, “When we started, I looked at the teleprompter and said, ‘I can’t read that! I’m going blind!’”
While looking for a new pair of glasses, Raphael saw an ad offering an eye test, glasses, and a Pap smear. Despite how strange the ad seemed, she decided to make an appointment.
During the appointment she was told she would need a more expensive pair of glasses, but unfortunately they only color they had was red.
“You got it,” Raphael said.
Although she didn’t anticipate the trouble she’d face from the producers of her show.
“I had to fight to have the glasses. Producers tried to change them. Those shadowy figures objected to everything.”
She has since accumulated over 200 pairs of red glasses.
As of August 2, Raphael currently has less than 650 followers on Instagram, but even though her numbers might not match those of other talk show hosts, her fans are just as loud if not louder with their support.
“The Icon, the Legend of daytime TV, Ms. Sally Jessy Raphael needs her Blue Check Mark ? “
“That’s pretty crazy that someone as famous as you are is having trouble with being recognized. I’m trying to understand what the issue is though”
“We should flood your feed with blue hearts it’s so much better than a blue checkmark”
I remember watching Sally on TV! Do you? Let us know in the comments.
The Meaning Behind Green Lights on Cars
Have you ever pondered the meaning behind those vivid green car lights? Let’s discuss this in more detail!
The Medical Field’s Benefits from Green Lights
The significance of automotive green lights in the medical field cannot be overstated. They serve as proof that the car is owned by an emergency medical services company.
Medical transport services and volunteer or commercial ambulances are the main users of these lights. Green-lighted cars, on the other hand, are not like traditional emergency vehicles in that their primary goal is to safely transfer people in non-life-threatening situations.
Providing Effective Traffic Guidance
Using green lights makes it easier for these cars to go through traffic, which is one of its key advantages. When it comes to moving people in need of non-emergency medical care, this is very important. These cars can guarantee that patients arrive at their doctor’s appointments or treatments on time and avoid traffic bottlenecks by employing green lights. Thus, keep in mind that someone inside a car with green lights may be en route to an urgent medical appointment the next time you see one.
Rules and Adherence
Vehicles are not allowed to use green lights under any circumstances. These vehicles need to be registered with the local medical transportation authority in order to utilize green lights, and the operators need to fulfill certain requirements in order to guarantee the safety and wellbeing of the patients. Any misuse of a green light should be reported to the appropriate authorities since it might cause traffic disruptions and put patients in danger.
Endorsing Health Aid
Giving way to cars with green lights not only demonstrates consideration for other drivers, but it also helps people who are in need of medical attention. These cars need green lights to maneuver through traffic and get to their destinations on time. They guarantee prompt service to anybody in need of non-emergency medical care.
Therefore, keep in mind that a car’s green lights are more than just a matter of taste the next time you see one. It’s an obvious indication that the car is associated with a medical facility and that the person inside may be in route to an urgent medical appointment. Together, let’s support these vehicles and contribute to the saving of lives!
