Ricki Lake Instagram – When Ricki Lake (@rickilake) hosted her eponymous talk show in the 1990s, she dyed her hair and wore hairpieces to hide that her hair was thinning. After decades of privately feeling shame about her hair, Ricki learned she had androgenetic alopecia, a common form of hair loss in both men and women. Sam (@realsambee) asks Ricki about her decision to go public with her alopecia diagnosis, how she landed the gig hosting her talk show when she was only 23 years old, and the 35th anniversary of her star-making role as Tracy Turnblad in “Hairspray.”
