Bess Motta
There wasn’t much this Canadian couldn’t do – she sings, acts, dances, and exercises like a darn Queen. Motta’s TV program, The 20 Minute Workout, only ran for a year despite the fact that it brought in thousands of viewers weekly. At this point though, Motta was well known by all. Once The 20 Minute Workout went off air, Motta became an actress and appeared in The Terminator and The Home Show. Nowadays, she’s leading a more quiet life but we hope to hear from her soon!
