Sue Johanson, Canada’s most beloved and celebrated sex educator, has died. She was 93. Johanson rose to fame first in Canada with her call-in radio and television programs, both titled Sunday Night Sex Show.
A U.S. spinoff followed, called Talk Sex With Sue Johanson. According to reports, Johanson died in a long-term care facility in Thornhill, Ont., surrounded by family.
