Considering his not-so-smooth childhood (his dad abandoned him and his mother) Little was still able to pull it together and find success in fitness.
However, he was often the subject of bullying and ridiculed by other television personalities like Fabio, Richard Simmons, and Susan Powter.
Cathy Lee Crosby – Now
Crosby made it to Wimbledon but soon after quit playing tennis. Crosby then split with ex-husband football star Joe Theismann.
She sued him for $4.5 million with claims that he “abandoned his promise to financially support her.” Her last film was Ablaze in 2001 where she acted opposite Ice-T and Tom Arnold.
Tony Little – Then
This is not your average fitness guru. He sold more than $4 billion worth of fitness products via infomercials.
How’d he do it? We’re sure that his not-so-typical hairstyle, trademark smile, and chained necklace had something to do with it.
Fabio Lanzoni – Then
Known as Fabio, the Italian norm actor slash model appeared on the cover of many romance novels and fitness magazines. Many people saw him as the personification of a Roman God on earth.
He released an exercise book and fitness video called Fabio Fitness. Girls couldn’t get enough of his blonde locks of beach-wavy hair.
Fabio Lanzoni – Now
Fabio chose to stay in television and films and became the face of the Versace fragrance, Mediterraneum and appeared on The Bold and the Beautiful several times.
He started a business called Healthy Planet Vitamins and was named a spokesperson for the American Cancer Society.
