She is, quite simply, the seniors' senior. An actress, director, lecturer and moderator, Suzanne Roberts has spent a lifetime seeking the best for others, and now, at the age of 86, is a woman on a mission to provide America's fastest growing demographic with ideas and thought-provoking information to improve their quality of life.

As the creator and host of Seeking Solutions with Suzanne, comprised of 5-minute segments that air daily on CNN Headline News to more than 20 million viewers on Comcast Cable Systems, and a weekly half-hour special that airs on The Comcast Network, Suzanne Roberts seeks to provide viewers with adventurous new experiences and information – whether trying exotic dancing, exploring sexual and medical issues, dealing with intergenerational conflict, getting a facelift, or redecorating on a budget. She has even taken viewers into the operating room to witness her own cataract surgery.

Recognizing the dearth of quality television programming for the over 50 audience, Suzanne created Seeking Solutions in 2000 – and a brand new career for herself at the age of 80. Awarded the prestigious 2002 Beacon Award for Best Public Affairs Series, and a 2001 Mid-Atlantic Emmy nomination, as well as two Emmy nominations for Outstanding Individual Achievement as Host in 2000 and 2001, the show is attracting both increased viewership and critical acclaim – and Suzanne is becoming a role model and the spokesperson for a new generation of older adults.

A Philadelphia native, Suzanne has spent her life finding ways to improve conditions around her in innovative ways. Her extensive acting experience in major roles served as a springboard for an array of public service involvement, including USO shows, national appearances in plays dealing with racism and alcoholism and award-winning achievements in radio (Within Our Gates) and television (The World at Your Door). She hosted Assignment City Hall, a weekly television program on the functions of a large city government, and was a pioneer in political programming, which resulted in her book, The Candidate and Television, distributed to both political parties.

A true pioneer, Suzanne has also received international recognition for her work with emotionally disturbed children. When, as a mother of five, she and her family spent a summer at a Navajo Reservation, she discovered special methods of communicating with hostile and withdrawn hospital patients. As a result of her achievement, the government brought her back to share her ground-breaking technique with the hospital staff. A subsequent documentary, Discoveries in Communication, chronicling the success of her unique approach, was presented at the International Congress of Child Psychiatry, leading to invitations from governments and medical institutions around the world to demonstrate her work. In her mid-sixties, she served on the faculty of Hahnemann University Hospital and received her Masters Degree in Human Services and Therapeutic Counseling at Antioch University, while also mentoring children.
