 During the past 20 years, Leeza Gibbons has been a TV news journalist and host, a radio personality, producer and businesswoman. Now she has formed the Leeza Gibbons Memory Foundation. "I promised my mother I would take her diagnosis of Alzheimer's disease and use it to educate and inspire. We're doing that through Leeza's Place, intimate settings in cities across the country where the newly diagnosed with any memory disorder and their caregivers can get education, empowerment and energy free of charge as they prepare for the journey ahead." She has three children: daughter Lexi and sons Troy and Nathan.
