'90s fitness legend and Stop the Insanity! infomercial star Susan Powter said she never wanted to be a film or television star.
"One of the managers wanted to do TV, because they wanted the syndication money. I never wanted to do TV or movies. It was just part of the career thing. Let’s get her on this and that."
Despite personally resisting the notion of becoming a TV star, Powter joined the cast of the 1995 "Designing Women" spinoff "Women of the House", though the show only lasted for one season.
“They were talented women and it was a talented set," Powter says of the show's 13-episode run.
“I was good on that. That I have seen. It was really nasty and snotty, that was the character. It was fun," she remembers, lamenting that "the show died" shortly after she boarded.
