From rags to riches: FashionTelevision is a global success

Article Abstract:

FashionTelevision began as a low-budget show about fashion produced in Toronto, Ontario, in 1986. It is now watched by as many as 100 million people in 120 countries. The show's success is partly due to host Jeanne Beker's irreverent style and the occasional glimpses of nudity.
