What 90s talk show queen Sally Jessy Raphael looks like at 90 years old
In one Instagram photo shared over the weekend, the former Sally host rocked bright red hair, a black and white sundress and a green scarf as she enjoyed a breezy boat ride. She captioned the post with a nod to her 'Raphaelites,' adding that she's 'serving you sailboat vibes.'
In two additional pics, the TV host, 90, pulled her fiery red locks into a ponytail and donned a tie-dye T-shirt while lounging at the end of a dock.
'Hope you're all enjoying your summer as much as I am,' she captioned the July 19 pics.
In yet another, the Daytime Emmy Award winner snacked on oysters during a getaway. 'In New England enjoying some oysters … aren't these supposed to be an aphrodisiac?!' she joked in the caption.
In February, the TV star shared a snap of herself living her best life in Paris while leaning out a window to check out the City of Lights.
Raphael's memorable talk show Sally — previously known as Sally Jessy Raphael — aired from 1983 to 2002, and was known for its sensationalistic audience participation style and issue driven content. The former radio host won a Daytime Emmy Award for Outstanding Talk Show Host in 1989.
Her husband, Karl Soderlund — with whom she shared adopted son Jason and three foster children — died in 2020 after 57 years of marriage. She also shared daughters Allison (who died in 1992) and Andrea with former husband Andrew Vladimir, whom she divorced in 1963.
Raphael opened up to People in March about turning 90 following a highly visible career in television.
'It's really interesting being 90 because if you dye your hair and you don't have any veins in your legs, then people say you look young,' she told the outlet.
'And that's always nice that people say, although why they think looking young when you can claim 90 is beyond me, but they think it's a compliment.'
She also reflected on the benefits of being in her senior years.
'You're cute when you're young, and then for a long time, you're not cute,' she said.
'And then when you get to be 80 or 90, you're cute again. People always say, 'That cute old lady,' so I guess I'm cute again.'

Jessica Curry: Shielding Songs
Jessica Curry's first new album in five years, Shielding Songs, which explores themes of vulnerability, tenderness, tolerance, forgiveness, loss and love, is this week's Feature Album on ABC Classic. The English composer is famous for her video game soundtracks, such as Everybody's Gone to the Rapture and So Let Us Melt , and this album contains a selection of new arrangements alongside unrecorded works. 'I am immunocompromised and as such shielded for over two years during the pandemic,' Curry says. 'When I went through my choral works, I found that the same concerns arose time and time again- protection, sanctuary and a dogged determination to believe in the best of people, even through the worst of times. Now more than ever, we have to look after one another and I hope that this music brings hope and solace to listeners.' 'Vulnerability, the strength of human love, dignity and tolerance shines through the album, particularly in the anti-war requiem Perpetual Light , unrecorded since its premiere in 2011 at London's Old Vic Tunnels. It encapsulates the driving themes of the album – that in the face of adversity and trauma, it is love and nurture that will hold us together.' Curry's music is sung by London Voices, with whom she has previously worked on her famous video game soundtracks, directed by Ben Parry.
