Robin Leach was host and executive producer of one
of the most popular syndicated television shows in America,
Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous, carried by nearly 200 stations
across the country. One hour each week viewers were offered a glimpse of
the homes, clothes, cars, haunts, and habits of the world's wealthiest
and most glamorous people. Leach's subjects include celebrities, movie
and television moguls, business tycoons, and royalty.
Lifestyles
debuted in 1983
as a limited series of specials. It became a weekly series one year
later. Leach is most interested in the self-made members of the rich and
famous set; he rarely profiles those who were born into wealth. Leach's
own life resembles a rags to riches story. He came to the United States
in the early 1960s, taking a job as a shoe salesman at a New York
department store. He later worked for several newspapers before
television's Entertainment Tonight hired him as a reporter. As a
result of his work on that show, Leach was picked to host Lifestyles.
Robin now writes an
exclusive column for Las Vegas Magazine entitled
"LuxeLife Vegas". |
