Suzanne Paul

Suzanne Paul (born Susan Barnes, 16 November 1956) is an English-born New Zealand television personality and actress. She first gained fame for marketing Natural Glow makeup and appearing in infomercials in the 1990s, for which she was affectionately nicknamed the "infomercial queen".

In the late 1990s, Paul was the host of Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner? and Garage Sale. In the 2000s, she hosted Second Honeymoon, and had minor roles and cameos in Being Eve, Outrageous Fortune, and was a regular panellist on How's Life?. Paul's other acting credits include as Paloma in season 3 of My Life Is Murder in 2022, and performing on stage in two productions: Stepping Out in 2010 with the Auckland Theatre Company, and Dirty Dusting in 2011. Paul has also appeared in several reality shows as a contestant or guest, including Celebrity Treasure Island, Intrepid Journeys, and most notably as the winner of season 3 of Dancing with the Stars in 2007.

In addition to her work in entertainment, Paul also started her own clothing brand for short women in 2009, named "Suzanne Paul: Petite". She was formerly bankrupted in 2005, following the demise of Rawaka Māori Village, a controversial tourist business she had opened in 2004. However, she paid back a portion of the debt and sought early discharge, and returned to her work in products and sales to make a financial recovery. In 2008, she published her memoir, But Wait, There's More.

In 2025, Paul was awarded the Scroll of Honour from the Variety Artists Club of New Zealand for her contribution to New Zealand entertainment and support of charities.
