Raye Hollitt: Memories of Skin Deep and John Ritter, Zap on American Gladiators, and Her Former Bodybuilder Career

Welcome to Hollywood and Beyond Podcast. Your home for meaningful and in-depth interviews.    Special guest Raye Hollitt (Former bodybuilder known as ZAP on “American Gladiators”) visits the podcast to share her background in female bodybuilding, her acting role in the 1989 Blake Edwards film "Skin Deep" with John Ritter, and as Zap on American Gladiators. All of this and much more in a truly sentimental interview listening experience.  

In 1989 John Ritter gave a phenomenal performance as a womanizing alcoholic with a bad case of writer’s block in Blake Edwards dramedy. In one of John’s most impressive hours on the silver screen, there were many talented ladies he worked with in the film. Including my guest, actress and bodybuilder, Raye Hollitt. In a natural and impressive performance Raye held her own with John.  

What was it like working with John Ritter and being directed by Blake Edwards? Why did she want to start a path down bodybuilding?   Find out and so much more when Raye Hollitt visits the podcast on Episode #6!
