Miss Cleo (born Youree Dell Harris) was an American television personality, actress, and self-described psychic advisor who became one of the most recognizable figures in late-night television advertising during the late 1990s and early 2000s.
Youree Dell Harris was born on August 12, 1962, in Los Angeles, California, United States (some sources incorrectly list 1959 or 1960 due to conflicting reports she gave during her career). She died July 26, 2016, at age 53. As a Leo.
Miss Cleo first appeared in late-night infomercials for the Psychic Readers Network around 1997–1998. Her character — a Jamaican fortune teller with dreadlocks, colorful headwraps, and a thick accent — quickly became iconic. The commercials ran on a loop on cable channels, local stations, and late-night blocks, creating massive brand recognition.
At its peak (1999–2002), the Psychic Readers Network reportedly earned hundreds of millions of dollars annually through 1-900 pay-per-minute calls. Miss Cleo was the central figure in all advertising.
The business collapsed after multiple class-action lawsuits and investigations in 2002–2003, alleging deceptive practices, fake psychics, and misleading billing. Miss Cleo was named in several lawsuits but was not personally convicted of fraud. She later claimed she was an employee/actor, not the owner, and that the accent and persona were scripted.
After the scandal she largely withdrew from public life. She appeared in occasional low-profile projects (small film roles, reality TV cameos) but never regained mainstream visibility. She passed away from colorectal cancer in 2016.
Personal Life
Miss Cleo (Youree Harris) was married at least once and had at least one child (a daughter). Specific details about her marital history, spouse(s), or children were never publicly confirmed or discussed in detail during her lifetime. She kept family matters completely private.
She lived quietly in Florida during her later years. She was open about being a lesbian in some late interviews (post-scandal), but never elaborated on relationships. She battled serious health issues (including cancer) in private before her death in 2016.
