From television news journalist and host, to radio personality, producer and businesswoman, Leeza Gibbons has been entering America's living rooms for over 20 years. While she would nationally burst on the scene as an anchor/reporter on "Entertainment Tonight," it wouldn't be until hosting her own daytime talker, "Leeza," that audiences would see Gibbons' determination to get outside of the box and become a household name while highlighting her intelligence, sensitivity and compassion. Gibbons served as Executive Producer of "Leeza," which debuted on NBC in 1994 and continued nationally through 2000. Receiving nominations for both Outstanding Talk Show and Outstanding Talk Show Host every year it was eligible, "Leeza" would garner 27 Daytime Emmy Nominations, winning three. It was during the series run that Gibbons' impact on television would be awarded with one of Hollywood's highest honors: a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. With her never-ending entrepreneurial creativity and a mind for business-building, Gibbons formed Leeza Gibbons Enterprises (LGE) in 1994, to develop and produce the kind of projects that reflect her interests and concerns.

Leeza and Westwood One recently launched "Leeza at Night", which airs weekdays from 7pm to midnight on radio stations across the country and features Gibbons sharing her unique take on entertainment news and the trends shaping American culture today, as well as taking call-ins from listeners nationwide, exploring what's on their minds and in their hearts.

Gibbons also hosts the nationally syndicated Westwood One radio program, "Hollywood Confidential," which is featured on over 125 radio stations across the country.

As host of Lifetime's successful primetime magazine, "What Should You Do?", a dramatic reality series about life-saving information during moments of crisis, Leeza once again finds empowerment at the core of her work.

It was a need to serve her own family that prompted Gibbons to form the Leeza Gibbons Memory Foundation - her most personal endeavor to date. "I promised my mother I would take her diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and use it to educate and inspire. We're doing that through Leeza's Place, intimate settings in cities across the country where the newly diagnosed with any memory disorder and their caregivers can get education, empowerment and energy free of charge as they prepare for the journey ahead."

To underscore how much "memories matter", Gibbons created Leeza Gibbons LEGACIES, a scrapbooking line, which provides a system for preserving memories and encourages women to tell the stories of their lives. Gibbons' new book, Scrapbooking Traditions from Meredith Publishing, features heartwarming, personal stories to encourage others to celebrate memories and create new ones.

With her mineral based makeup system SHEER COVER, Leeza offers women another way to add value and empowerment to their lives. Sheer Cover works with your natural skin tone to cover everything from small imperfections, rosacia and acne to scarring and pregnancy mask. "I'm hearing powerful stories of sheer courage and sheer determination - that transformative energy is powerful."

Gibbons leads a life of gratitude and while thrilled with all of her many professional accomplishments, she is most proud of her own family life. She has three children: daughter Lexi (15), and sons Troy (13) and Nathan (7).
