Dr. Ruth Westheimer has died at age 96. Westheimer rose to fame as a sex therapist who urged the public to break from taboos and talk openly about sex.
“She was restful when she passed away. Her son and daughter were with her and holding her hand at that moment. It was as peacefully as she could possibly go. She was 96,” Pierre Lehu, who co-authored books with Westheimer, said to People Magazine.
