Actress Ricki Lake, who gained fame for her role in Hairspray at 18, faced financial difficulties in her early 20s after losing hundreds of thousands of dollars. Despite the hardship, Lake learned the value of a dollar and eventually lost 100 pounds due to her weight. She later landed a hosting gig for her popular talk show Ricki Lake, which ran for 11 years and won her first Daytime Emmy Award in 2012. Lake has since held various hosting roles and has married husband Ross Burningham in 2022. She credits her weight loss journey with her success in her career. #emmawatson #actress #model #celebrate #lifestyle #Kaise Mujhe
