Susie Coelho first came to public attention as a successful Ford model and then as an actress and television host. As an entrepreneur, she created the trendy celebrity eateries Bono’s (with then-husband Sonny Bono), then went on to create the innovative fashion boutique "A Star is Worn" on Melrose Ave, which sold celebrity designer clothing and collectibles, the first of its kind. Through her "A Star Is Worn” retail store, Susie simultaneously pursued her philanthropic interests and coined “clothes aid,” making both clothing and financial contributions to more than 100 charities and non-profit organizations.
