Debbie Drake, a television physical-fitness personality during the 1960s and '70s, came through surgery for a shattered leg and a procedure to restore a collapsed lung at Rose Medical Center here Wednesday.
Drake, who does not reveal her age, was taken to a recovery room following the afternoon surgery on her left leg, hospital spokeswoman Peggy Ryan said. Orthopedic surgeon Dr. Francis Yamamoto said Wednesday's surgery involved repair to ligaments and cartilage in the leg. He said her condition was good.
Her right lung was discovered collapsed Saturday night as she was awaiting surgery, performed Sunday, on her left ankle. A device was implanted to inflate the lung and allow it to recover.
On Sunday, surgeons worked on her foot and lower left leg. She said muscles were redistributed over the bone, and a skin graft was taken from the right thigh.
Drake was struck in a hit-and-run accident on March 27 as she stood on a sidewalk in Matamoros, Mexico.
In addition to a home on South Padre Island, Tex., Drake has a residence in Cherry Hills Village in the Denver area and a 50-acre ranch at Castle Rock, south of Denver.
Her syndicated programs, "The Debbie Drake Show" and later "Debbie Drake's Dancercize," aired from 1960-1978. She also authored four books.
Drake is expected to be hospitalized for several weeks, and it probably will be several months before she can walk again.

Texas native Debbie Drake was the first female TV champion of fitness. Unlike Jack LaLanne, Debbie was also popular on records (to a certain extent) and books. Born in 1931 and as far as I know, she's still active. Her last book was "Debbie Drake's Secrets of Perfect Fiqure Development," republished in 2000.

Debbie Drake's checklist for keeping your husband happy:
1. Firm and graceful body.
2. Be at home when he arrives. (If you must work, try to arrange it so you're home first.)
3. Clothes, sexy - for your evenings home.
4. Be interested in him and the things he does.
5. A good conversationalist.
6. A bright smile over morning coffee.
7. Nice voice (keep it soft and musical; also a pretty laugh.)
8. Excess fat (taboo).
9. Well-set hair (brushed and clean).
10. Mentally alert (try reading).
11. Pin-curls (if they are a must, pin up after the lights are out and wear a bed cap.)
12. Perfume - just for him, when he's home.
13. A regular manucure.
14. A weekly pedicure.
Hey GB, it's really kinda funny, but as I glanced at the picture (fussy) I instantly thought "Debbie Drake". What's funny is that I actually realized who it was, because I don't ever remember watching her on TV. Funny how some things I forget; but I'm really good at remembering a face. That's all for now!!
dj
You remember DD's face ??
Lol PT!
The bumpy leotard was a dead give-away for me, fuzzy or not.
Hey, I just realized what the deal was.... What with the white collar and all, I had confused her with "Hazel" (Mr. B etc). As it turns out, I DO remember seeing DEBBIE on the tube.....
P.S. If that one flies, I also have some land that you can lease or "rent to own".

Ms Drake was way ahead of her time in that silicone and saline implants weren't around. They used some kind of sponge that was always causing problems.
The student nurses at Methodist and General rarely saw each other but they managed to talk to each other when a famous people checked in for this that and the other.
Oh.
Oh?
OH!!
Another childhood fantasy destroyed.
PT, whatever you do,
DO NOT talk to me about Santa Claus!
What??? You don't want to know about that old man and all those little "elves"? LOL
Santa Claus?
The guy wears a RED suit and goes all over the world redistributing wealth. He has an intelligence service that spies on everyone and he knows who's been naughty and who's been nice.
Sounds communist to me.
Asoka,
WASH YOUR MOUTH OUT WITH SOAP!
