    Ahh, the perks of being 17: I could stay up as late as I wanted on a “school night.” I was a on a culture kick, so I never missed the Dick Cavett Show. On my one trip to NYC I was determined to sit in the audience of the Cavett show. Midtown Manhattan, 1 p.m. I arrive at the theater and query anyone in line with an extra ticket. 10 min. before showtime I score a seat. Bandleader Bobby Rosengarden is playing the intro theme. I’m finally going to see my favorite late-night talk show host! The moment I’ve been waiting for: announcer Fred Foy says, “Ladies and gentleman here’s STEVE ALLEN!” Missed opportunity: Cavett was on vacation :( There is a happy ending: five years later when Cavett moved to PBS I got a front-row seat as he interviewed legendary director George Cukor.

    Fascinating. Thank you for posting this. Bette Davis was a class act. In a prior Cavett interview with her, he appeared to have a crush on her and she may have sensed it, so I wonder if she chose the song, 'Too Young or Too Old' with him in mind? Anyway, his tacky 'humorous' question, whether she molested the author when he was eight, was way out of bounds, and when he added that he was molested at eight, it just made it weirder. And Bette's body language absolutely revealed her disgust. Not cool, Richard. Keep your Scorpio nature in check, dude.

      Good analysis. Cavett often overstepped IMO. As for example with Bacall. He played that crush-on card with her also.
      And he wasnt always well prepared. Study your guests history so that your questions arent irritating for them. Parkinson and Osborne were more interesting IMO.

      I actually think he pretended to have a crush only. They were very old women and he was young. He was being debonair to them. I do though, think that the truth is moreso that Bette had a crush on him. She seems very taken by him and very ga ga when around him. He was gorgeous and charming after all.

    If this show was indeed taped in 1971, Miriam Hopkins was still alive. She died on October 9, 1972.

    He interviewed her again in 1977, she was very happy and chatty. About to watch this one now. I'm not sure what year this is from because it says 1971 but when asked whether Miriam Hopkins is alive, she says no but she died not till October 1972, aged 69. She also seems to mention the 1977 interview with Dick, so I am confused. What was this filmed or aired?

    Bette would often throw people under the bus in interviews as she got older (except her own daughter BD Hyman who was the best bus-thrower in the Davis family). Miriam Hopkins, Joan Crawford, Errol Flynn and Faye Dunaway all copped her wrath. But maybe they deserved it also. I can imagine they were equally disparaging in private about her. Joan Collins claims Bette kicked her in Elizabeth (Joan was young) and was awful to her. I do believe that none of these actors were saints. Bette claims all she cares about was the work but I’m not so sure this is true. Bette wanted and needed to be the top dog always. She hated not being “the best” and this comes with huge ego.
    Having said that, I do agree with her about Faye Dunaway. The litmus test is always what others say as well and Dunaway was known to be horrible and a diva amongst those who worked with her. Davis’s story about her many years later (post stroke) on Carson when Davis was in her 80s is legendary. Davis said Dunaway was “the most unprofessional” person she’s ever had the displeasure to work with.
    Bam!

      ​@@RoseMakesItNot so nice. Manilow was already signed as a solo artist and was working with Clive Davis, and Davis was pushing Manilow's career. All that screen time, name drops, and chit-chat was in Manilow's appearance contract signed by his agent and lawyer and Cavett's. In some ways you could consider this that Clive Davis got Bette Davis to promote Manilow on TV!

      No, but he knew things were happening for him. "Barry Manilow II" was release in 1974 and from that "Mandy" became a #1 hit in January 1975.

    • @TheLarryBrown

      Taking your comment at face value, then Cavett was unkindly ribbing her when he asked Manilow his opinion on her as a "singer."
