Forget Louis Theroux, Ruby Wax was the first TV star to master the awkward celebrity interview and dish up primetime documentaries about taboo American subcultures which delighted as much as they shocked.
; OJ Simpson ;Shining a spotlight on the now much talked about topics of celebrity culture and fame, Wax was the first women to front gonzo style documentary interviews and make them a hit in a primetime slot to boot.She also did a series looking at American subculture - Ruby's American Pie - in the late 90s, investigating themes including the Klu Klux Klan , offbeat religion and porn. Again, all themes in Louis Theroux's wheelhouse, at around the same time.
On her infamous interview with future president Donald Trump Wax told Sky News:"I hated speaking to him. I found him toxic. Trump went on to throw her off his private plane - complete with a gold sink and cushioned bidet. Wax says:"I think I could have handled it better. You don't see the fear in my eyes, but it doesn't feel good."Despite her own harsh review of some of her interviews, the audience lapped up her no-nonsense approach, and her shows were a hit.
to industry big wigs at the Edinburgh Television Festival, Wax is largely a stranger to today's TV schedule.

When sleep disorders presage something more seriousEarly one morning, while checking on a slumbering patient at the Center for Sleep Medicine, Erik St. Louis, M.D., noticed something peculiar. The patient, a woman in her early 60's, had started running beneath her bedsheets. As her eyelids fluttered, her legs kicked into gear, slowly at first but then rapidly picking up the pace, propelling herself along a road only she could see. After sprinting for about 30 seconds, she abruptly stopped and opened her eyes. It wasn't the way Dr. St. Louis had expected someone with sleep apnea to behave.
