Tammy Faye Bakker was a multifaceted American Christian evangelist, singer, author, talk show host, and television personality. She rose to prominence through her work on The PTL Club, a televangelist program she co-created with her husband, Jim Bakker, in 1974. The couple established a religious television empire, which ultimately collapsed following Jim’s 1989 fraud conviction. Tammy Faye was known for her unconventional religious views and later remarried before passing away from cancer in 2007.

Some of her other notable accomplishments include founding the Tammy Faye Bakker Cancer Foundation, participating in the reality television show The Surreal Life, and playing a minor role in the 1996 film “The Cable Guy” alongside Jim Carrey.
