LITTLE RICHARD
Milton Teagle — a.k.a. Richard — Simmons pictured at 2 years old at his family home in New Orleans in 1950. In the April 3 issue of PEOPLE, friends and family weigh in on the fitness guru's retreat from the spotlight. While his brother Lenny tells PEOPLE they speak weekly and he "seems okay to me,” his assistant Elijah Jones says, “I want my friend back in my life the way he used to be." Here, a look back at his private life and public persona.
