Joyce Brothers Bio/Wiki, Net Worth, Married 2018
Joyce Diane Brothers (née Bauer; October 20, 1927 – May 13, 2013) was an American psychologist, television personality and columnist, who wrote a daily newspaper advice column from 1960 to 2013. In 1955, she became the only woman ever to win the top prize on the American game show The $64,000 Question, answering questions on the topic of boxing, which was suggested as a stunt by the show's producers. In 1958, she presented a television show on which she dispensed psychological advice, pioneering the field. She wrote a column for Good Housekeeping for almost forty years and became, according to The Washington Post, the "face of American psychology". Brothers appeared in dozens of television roles, usually as herself, but from the 1970s onward she accepted roles portraying fictional characters, often self-parodies.Radio therapist Laura Schlessinger credited Brothers with making psychology "accessible".

1 | On experience: What used to be old is middle-aged now, and what used to be ancient is just old. |
2 | On childhood: Feeling gratitude isn't born in us--it's something we are taught, and in turn, we teach our children. |
3 | On marriage: Marriages, like careers, need constant nurturing...the secret of having it all is loving it all. |

1 | Was influenced by: Phil McGraw. |
2 | She had a daughter, Lisa (born 1953) with her husband, Milton. |
3 | Her husband Milton was an internist who specialized in diabetes treatment. It was when he was still a young resident physician making only $50 a month that Brothers decided she would commit herself to winning money on The $64,000 Question (1955). Without knowing much about it at all, she very intentionally chose boxing as her area of expertise, and then used her remarkable memory to study it intensely for months. |
4 | Raised in Queens and Manhattan, she earned a bachelor's degree from Cornell, with a double major in home economics and psychology, followed by a Ph.D. in psychology from Columbia. In the late 1940s and early '50s, she taught psychology at NYC's Hunter College. |
5 | Provided a voice-over for the song, "Dr. Drew Boogie" on the radio program "Loveline". [2001] |
6 | Was a $64,000 winner on the 1950s game show, The $64,000 Question (1955) on the subject of "boxing." Later that same decade, she won $70,000 on The $64,000 Challenge (1956), in the same category. |
