Over 20 seasons, Raphael interviewed numerous celebrities, though she always stated that Audrey Hepburn was her favorite guest. “I was so awestruck, I could hardly ask a question.

Throughout her career and even in retirement, Raphael has maintained a distinctive look that makes her easily recognizable.
