Milton “Richard” Simmons is an American DJ, actor, comedian, singer, voiceover artist, producer, and most importantly, an iconic fitness instructor. Simmons came to fanatically promote healthy physical education through pain: as a child he was obese and by high school he weighed at least 120 kg.
Milton was born on July 12, 1948 in New Orleans and was found dead by a housekeeper on July 13 in Los Angeles.
As police told People, they see no criminal trace in Simmons’ death, but an investigation and examination are still pending. This could take up to three months.
Richard stopped appearing in public ten years ago, which started giving rise to all kinds of rumors. Simmons lived alone, except for three Dalmatians.
Richard Simmons began appearing on screen in 1970: soap operas General Hospital and All My Children, Spielberg’s Amazing Stories, Dinosaurs, Arrested Development (18+), others.
