Before his death at 76 in July 2024, flamboyant fitness guru Richard Simmons was planning a comeback after a decade out of the spotlight, which included a proposed interview with ABC News legend Diane Sawyer, to whom he had sent a note (with flowers) reading, “I trust you.” Nearly two years later, Sawyer explores his colorful life and career, interviewing those who knew him best about his long period of seclusion and the circumstances of his passing.
