God, I had the biggest crush on him. Saw him in concert in '78, and when I saw his brothers in' 79, he surprised the fans by joining them on stage. He handed me a rose that night, I truly thought I'd marry him someday. I still have it. ❤️
Good for you girl.You are very lucky.My aunt was with rso and a couple others record companies so i had met him and hung out with him as a kid and i really thought i was going to marry him.haha.
I can remember the Saturday morning I woke up to Andy Gibb singing "I just want to be your everything" on American Bandstand and at the age of 12 yrs old I immediately fell in love, covered my bedroom walls with all of his posters, went to his concert and knew someday we would be married...
Victoria Principle…..😍😍😍, I sat next to her at lunch when they filmed a scene for the tv show Dallas at a small airport I worked at . They must of had 20 people from the film crew there for a short scene in the show. It was great they catered lunch and set it up in our hanger . I sat across from Patrick Duffy and couldn’t believe it when Victoria sat next to me..one of those I’ll never forget moments…..
Yesm Andy was very much a little version of Barry although I do think Barry was the better looking of the two. Robin and Maurice rarely did look like twins which was odd because each individual feature you can compare are very similar. Both the twins ended up being very attractive men indeed but it took them a while to grow into their looks. Barry I believe was born perfect and never stopped being perfect until his 60s and 70's. He's still attractive in the context of his age.
I don't know if I am the only one that finds it so difficult to watch this, 3 x's it took me to get through the whole tape. His sincerity and commitment to her is so obvious and painful to watch. Gosh, I truly miss him. So talented, and a beautiful soul...Fly high Andy, with the rest of God's angels...
He was very sensitive, that was obvious but what the heck happened that made him want to do so much coke in the first place ? There's usually a reason like abuse that makes you want to escape your feelings. I just don't understand what makes someone do a thousand dollars of coke ?!! 🤔
He was wonderful inside and out. I met him on several occasions and he was sincere as he was genuine. When he died it was a sadness so deep that even today it doesn’t go away. I’m unsure what happened to Victoria in this relationship all I know is he loves her but was unable to sustain a relationship together for many reasons I shall respect.
I. Agree very. Difficult to watch. Hes a very. Handsome man. Hes got. Like a distinguished. Look. He sure does look. Like barry gibb. Victoria principal. Is. Stunning. They. Look magnificent. Together i like them..togethrr. beautiful. I like his way. I like her way. Shes. Gorgeous. Shes elegant and down.to eartn
To all the people making ugly comments about his addiction.... Some people are predisposed to addiction. Everyone's Biological, physiological and psychological makeup is different. Some people can try a substance once and can get hooked. It doesn't make him a bad deplorable person it makes him a sick person. I've also heard TV interviews with Barry speaking of Andy having some type of heart condition that his family wasn't even aware he had until after his death. And his addiction only exacerbated that problem. I will always continue to remember Andy in the most loving light, he was a talented, pure and sweet soul.... the world has never been the same without him...🙏♥️😊
Yes true. I found an article describing the virus that caused the heart failure. The drugs probably didn’t help but it’s still so sad that Andy was gone so young.
I read an article when Andy’s health was failing he asked doctors if this illness could kill him. He had no idea how sick he became. It might’ve been somewhat related to his addiction but no one ever indicated this was a suicidal event. That is just disrespectful to Andy’s legacy. Please ignore the tabloids #misinformation. Andy was just as talented as all the #Gibb brothers, he just left us too soon. Barry would agree. 👍❤️
Don't you ever be ashamed of who you are...nobody is perfect...God gives us another day if we are lucky...to fix our mistakes and be a better person..as simple as that!!!
I saw him in person once and he was the rare person who looked way better in real life than in photos and film. The only other person I can say that about is Fabio.
I love how Andy says Darling to her and they hold hands during the interview! They were such a gorgeous couple. You can tell they really loved each other. She did an interview in the 90s or early 2000s where she didn’t mention his name, but their relationship. She talked about in a positive manner, and she learned from it. I remember this relationship and his addiction. She gave him an opportunity to stay with her or have his addiction, and he chose the latter. It was very strong of her to do that to someone she loved. I still like her. I love her laugh! I wish she was in more shows or do guest appearances.
I just rewatched the entire Dallas series & I always liked Victoria. Pam & Bobby!! I had posters of Andy Gibb & the 45 of (love is….thicker than water) & The Bee Gees. It was sad he didn’t choose rehab & Victoria instead of the latter.
It’s so bad that the brothers actually blamed Victoria for Andy’s death! Yes , we can died of broken heart, but it wasn’t Victoria’s fault! Bad choices make him suffered ! R.I.P Andy ❤️ I know exactly what you went through, love hurts ! 😭
She never says an unkind word about him, to this day. It was no picnic, watching him deteriorate; I can imagine, but the dignity with which she speaks of him, and that relationship, says so much about them both. It’s quite heartbreaking. He was a bit too sweet for this earth, I think.
Solange. . What an idiot you are to call a comment stupid simply because you're a fan of them. Those hideous coverings which are so commensurate with a persons intellect. So keep your idiotic opinions to yourself.
@@lorrainedavison7482 we are in 2021 and there is still someone shitting his opinion about other people's choice and deciding what is good or bad on others body. You are simply pathetic. What a sad life u have!
Andy was such a fragile soul. For all his good looks, fame and money he didn’t have that much confidence and like many people often in life never thought he was good enough, especially up against the fame of his brothers. So so sad.
@@swolfe9668, if you think Victoria wasn't doing coke with Andy? Well she was... her singing career sure didn't last, she found more money in her plastic surgeon who she left Andy for and married in 1985! These day's she's divorced and living the rich life... Andy deserved a better woman than Victoria Principal! Rest in peace 🙏 it's been 34 years 😢
@@FreddieandBrenda VP was just a younger, prettier version of the Blanche Devereau character from Golden Girls. She dated many men and loved male attention especially from young good looking boys like Andy. That said, she is blameless for Andy's death which was caused by his own drug use due to depression, insecurity and the evil music biz.
As soon as a couple start gushing about how perfect they are together and how happy they are and it’s going to be forever!!! You know the crash is coming
It sucks he died a year after I was born, I wish I was old enough to have loved and admired Andy when he was still here. Rest in paradise Andy, you are loved and missed by so many X X
He told some whoppers; we all do upon occasion but most of us have the brains not to tell whoppers that are recognized as such the moment the words escape our lips.. He claimed losing Victoria Principle caused him to turn to coke when pretty much everyone who knew him was aware that was not true.
Jealousy certainly is a green eyed monster! Victoria Principal was beautiful at this time and they were in love. "She went after him because he was one of the Gibb brothers." Nonsense!
I don’t think neither one of them was wrong for each other. he never got over the breakup & she loved him so much but he got into drugs & it was something that took control over him. She gave him a choice to get help he did but it came back to haunt him off & on plus I believe he was so depressed. It’s not like today where it’s more open & people have more choices. He was clean in the end but it’s a shame how it all ended his heart was broken💔 he really never got over losing her & loved her so much!
Kind of starstruck and cheesy. My Mom loved him. She is and was a Republican, but she loved Phil. That hair. I never understood it. But, he was cancelled by MSNBC, at the peak of his ratings, for speaking out against the Iraq war, which gives me huge respect for him, now.
Beautiful duet. I didn’t realize Victoria had such a beautiful voice. They sound beautiful singing together. R. I.P. Andy. You will never be forgotten. Addiction is a grip that is very difficult to release yourself from. Even with loving brothers and a supportive family it can lead to your demise. Aaron Carter also had an addiction problem with not such a supportive family . Sometimes with or without a supportive family, the addiction is just too strong. Rest In Peace Aaron and Andy. 🙏🏻❤️
Early 80's, I'm walking to the Whiskey on Sunset with two blue eyed blue blondes from Minnesota, Andy was filling a black Porsche with ⛽ gas, he gestures to the girls like I didn't exsist, he produced a baggie with white powder in it, clearly at least an ounce....so, when I got the news, it didn't shock me, Prince, Dolores O'Riordan, Jani Lane, Jimi Jamison, MJ, heck, I was in LA it was 100 degrees out, Martin Lawrence running around with a plastic baggie swear suit and a loaded nine millimeter, anyone with a good memory, Dana Plato, complete train wreck paid the ultimate price many child actors succumb to, Corey Haim....thank Charlie Harper for his demise
Time brings amazing surprises. Two lovers were invited to the program. Almost forty years after this interview, guy is still remembered and loved by millions of fans around the world, and the talkative woman is remembered only in America on the TV series "Dallas" and how she broke this guy's heart.
Andy & Victoria really were such an adorable couple. I loved the story of how they met. It tore me to pieces when he died. 💔 It’s a terrible shame that his addictions led to an untimely death, especially because he was on the path to recovery and getting back on track. People see him and think here’s a guy who had it all and threw it away but it’s a matter of perspective. Even the most successful, talented, most loved people can feel insecure, unloved and alone. Those inner demons were just too impossible for him to overcome. 😥
People don't seem to realize that most addictive personality types are generally sensitive, compassionate, deeply caring, and insecure people at the start. Also, performers are put on demand regardless of how they may feel at that moment or how tired or excited or depressed, etc...they aren't given the option to say, i'm going to play hooky today and call in sick. So a little booster or downer is sometimes what it takes to be able to be there on demand.
Dr told me I don't have an addictive personality. Box of chocs, can't have just one. Guess we all have our weaknesses, hate having being controlled. Coke is like a joke, u can't wait till the next line! Back in the day, nobody really knew about coke's evil ways! At least all I was taught, JUST SAY NO &,WEED LEADS U TO HEROIN. When it didn't hard to trust adults.
Somebody said the art of singing or dancing its not so normal you feel so vulnerable especially if you don't act cause they write their pivate intimate emotions down and sing them so after performing you feel so empty you have to makeup for that emptiness especially with all the screaming on stage and adrenaline you go home and you are all alone nobody screamin for you that can be excrucieting if you don't have a good backup system!
@Fred W That's a story Victoria made up and everyone believes her. She wasn't allowed at Andy's funeral. When asked why Barry said "We won't mention that name today". That says it all. Andy tried to get clean but VP insisted they go to parties where drugs were being used of course. Only one person mattered to VP and that was herself.
@Fred W Where does that diagnosis come from, if I may ask? He did stop the coke but only because it was hard to come by where he was staying with Robin in the last few weeks of his life but he just switched to alcohol which is easy to obtain almost everywhere. He was falling down drunk for the entire time he was there to the extent he'd knocked out his front teeth. There was no come back in the works although that may have been his press managers putting the best spin on his acts. Supposedly he was there to write some songs and make some demos which seems ludicrous because the leading role in his career was Barry not Robin (Of course I may be talking out my ass and basing that notion upon untrustworthy sources.) It hardly matters since he failed to ever be sober enough to do anything like writing songs or even stand up most of the time.
Andy Gibb was the sweetest person, no airs about him. Yes his family did a fine job raising them and they actually liked one another, all very talented and humble. I really don’t think he got over the break-up even though he said he understood.
sorry but andy was very cute and when i stand in front of a handsome man i am very ashamed. That's why I said that if I stood in front of Andy, I would be ashamed.
@@manoeladasilva6456 MOST BEAUTIFUL THINGS IN LIFE CANNOT BE SEEN BUT TOUCHED BY THE HEART. Just gift wrapping, hope u realize looks wear off, even the most beautiful, if they have an ugly soul, u no longer look at the wrapping!
It was my understanding he was never going to be a Bee Gee because Robin and Maurice vetoed the notion. The last thing the Bee Gees needed was another vocalist; there was always an undercurrent of resentment over who sang what and how many songs could they get the lead. Andy would get leads himself and those were going to have to come from someone. Barry would not give up a nanosecond of his face time and mic time ever for any person, place or thing even for his so-called twin, Andy so that someone would have to be Robin. Barry was quick to praise Robin's voice but he tried to steadily reduce Robin's role until no one would ever say he had the better voice. It never quite worked because people have ears. Barry's voice kind of gave out on him but Robin's never did.
He was definitely being brought into the fold, I commented on this on a post for a live performance of "Shadow Dancing" that Andy did in Florida in 1987. Barry said they were bringing him into the group and studio to help record the album "One". He died in 1988 a couple months before it was recorded.
Wao! I miss those days when talk shows were really talk shows not wrestling arenas, i always record his shows and watch later in free times . One of the best host on tv and always will be , loved his work
She killed him. If she gave him an ultimatum, she must’ve not been loving enough TO HIM to keep him healthy. I’ll bet anything SHE WAS A COLD BITCH! So in other words, he couldn’t have loved her SO MUCH cuz if he did, how can you choose booze n drugs over such a beautiful woman IF she was tender and loving: hence the WITCH! Because when a woman is loving ... there’s nothing like it ... especially not disgusting stupid toxic chemicals ew
@@DaGubah501 Having been married to an addict myself, I'll have to say you're wrong!!!People who have addictions are out of control and blaming others in their lives is a cop out excuse just to excuse their behaviors.They choose their addictions over anything and anyone in their lives because addiction is a disease.
Age gap differences and still together proves that they were madly in 💘 in 1999 i was 27 fell in MADLY love with a 36 year old woman that couldve been my FIRST but she met my mother and said if i was 2 years older. She wouldve taken me in a 💙 beat. But like Andy gibb she broke my heart leading me into a panic attack over a guy i truly despise and losing her job over him me losing 💤 and taking aspirin to rest degrading my manhood but im here and i have to move on i just wish Andy would've kicked the habit for his child or children RIP
Robin Hartman 🎈 I figure that she was 31 years old, and he is younger in his mid 20’s. However, he loved this Woman. I tend not o believe the myth that he committed suicide, after she broke with him. May God Bess his Soul. Gone too soon. RIP. Coming from an American black descent.🎊🔥🔥
To anyone watching they seem happy but Donahue is no dummy. The questions he asks aren't planned and it's as if he saw disaster coming for them. His Qs aren't how couples are normally interviewed. I'm crying watching this for the first time, does anyone see this too? VP was 31 and Andy 23. He (seems) very mature for his age.
My sister-in-law worked for Lorimar Productions, who produced Dallas, at the time this show was aired. She was a script and equipment delivery driver. During my visit to see my SIL, I was on set just one time, while they were trying to film just one scene. V was so 'out of it', that day, that everybody was whispering and walking on eggshells. Saw it with my own eyes. Truth.
I just finished looking at this video from 1981 and I recall both of them at the height of their careers back then. But, what I'm really remembering is how absolutely beautiful Victoria is (or was). Simply Stunning!! My Goodness . . . . (yes, I'm shaking my head in amazement)
Phil comes through again and this interview program is really top notch and quality for its time. He was never so frank and at ease with his guest. I just love the comfortable atmosphere that issues from his set.
I remember growing up in my younger days my sister loved Andy Gibb she used to play his song flowing rivers and other stuff too. Out of all of the singers that I really didn't like such as Sean Cassidy and Leif Garrett Andy Gibb was one that I liked. He was the younger brother loved and admired by his brothers in the Bee Gees and Victoria Principal was so beautiful. His life story did have kind of a tragic ending but for a while he was doing so well and they were in love. Rest in peace Andy Gibb.
Were you there in the 1980s, you know that judges, airline pilots, college professors, clergy and all walks of life were doing battle with cocaine addictions. So a young upstart in the world of entertainment gets hooked and we’re supposed to be surprised? He needed help right here and he never got it.
Our culture is beauty obsessed, but beauty isn't everything. Andy had it, Princess Diana had it, Marilyn Monroe and Amy Winehouse had it. But they all were troubled souls. So sad for this young man and hope he has peace.
I loved Andy Gibb..a very beautiful and handsome guy..and so down to earth type of guy .I will never bad mouth u ..drugs or no drugs,.i love you still..and as for Victoria. I am I big fan of yours...the beautiful Pam...
I have met a lot of talented people ..but the whole BeeGee family was the kindest..most lovely individuals....Mom and Dad...Robin was quiet but so dear...Maurice was an Angel....and Barry the nicest guy in the world...but Andy was the most sincere, extremely talented, and just one of the band that was at Criteria as we all hung around waiting to do our part on a track of many artists that were recording at the time...Andy was a very unique individual...I loved him..Miss yiu Andy ...Maurice...Robin....Won't be another.....Kitty
@@MissKittyVideo I just checked your channel out! I see you are a singer/musician yourself! And yep, I remember 'Star Search' from way back when! 😉 I love all the Gibb brothers, but I am quite besotted with Robin. I was wondering if you ever had a conversation with him or anything that you can recall? Thank you for taking the time to respond, Kitty!😊
Yes I thought he was great...He and Dwina his wife....My birth name is Robin...so we would chat in a kindred way...He knew I was a part of what was going on...I was with George....when the guys were at the studio...and I was just married...I started baking special pies...cakes..cookies to take to the studio..The were just one of the gang...and Barry always had the greatest bud...so when I arrived and sat in control room ...Barry always passed the weed to me to roll one...it is just the way it was...music..lots of their family and felt a part of that...I remember sweet Andy..so kind...we all saw each other a lot from 77 to late 80's...
No you have it wrong..until some kind of order in government..and we pursuade people by creating a better atmosphere...you won't stop the addicts..people popping pills...it is up to them...We can't strong arm ourselves out of this
My mom was a major PD fan. She watched the show every day. I remember watching this in real-time. I was 13. I thought VP looked and acted too old for AG. There is an age difference. I had a feeling that it wouldn't work. Watching this today, I don't notice the physical age difference but they are still apart emotionally, intellectually, and mentally. I think the drugs were just a symptom. Even if AG got help and persevered, the relationship would have failed anyway. AG was too young for VP. VP had already been through certain milestones that AG hadn't yet.
These two beautiful peaple were very special and regardless of what some peaple say they were in love at the time the signals are all there to see, R.I.P ANDY and victoria even now you are a beautiful human being say on more.
Andy Gibb had so much talent. It's really a shame he passed at such a young age. It would have been interesting to see how his career and body of work would be today.
He got used by an older predator. Does it hurt us to read these words? That’s what happened here. Even his family could not intervene to stop this. Heartbreak? That would be Andy’s father who was inconsolable with grief.
I loved watching Andy on the show, Solid Gold. He was so handsome and I loved Victoria. Dallas was something I loved watching with my mother. Great memories!
I had no idea that they were together. She was the reason that I watched Dallas. At the time she was one of the 10 most beautiful women in the world! I also did not know that she was 8 years older than him. It is so sad that they did not stay together. It is also so sad that we lost him at such a young age. RIP Andy Gibb!
If only this sweet young man had gone for help back then when the lovely Victoria asked him to instead of 3 years later. Sadly only Andy could make Andy's choices. Tears as I watched this. So much love, yet somehow not enough. Too sad.
No matter how much you love someone. If they don't love themselves. It's a very painful thing to suffer through. You just can't love them enough to make a difference.
I lost a good friend to alcoholism. It's a shame they couldn't get help in time. Will forever be grateful to their time on earth. Andy was so freaking hot!! RIP Andy... Luv you always.
Wow. No matter what happened later, and at this time we all know it wasn't great, but they are clearly in love on this show. Sadly, true love doesn't always last forever, or work out the way we hope. I recognize the look on their faces, they are head over heals in love. And even if it didn't work out, at least they had that. No one can take that away, it was real between them at that time. Wish it could have been forever, but being in love like that is special, whether it lasts forever or not. They had it.
She has never said anything about their relationship over many years. She has kept their secrets very private. She could have written a book or even a movie, but she seems like a very classy, funny, beautiful successful woman. There are always two sides of the story. I Love Andy but he was so messed up with drugs and alcohol, that has to be extremely difficult to be around the man you love and watch him slowly kill himself and his career. How much can a person take.
I Always found Andy to Be Real and a Sensitive and Kind Soul...I can't help it but I Always found Victoria to be Pretentious and used Certain Men to be a Climber...I really think Phil Donahue picked up on this...🌹

I always liked Phil Donahue. I was REALLY young when I watched him but he always seemed so kind and humble. I still think of him that way watching this. I really miss that guy. 🥀🌷♥️
This is the 1st time I saw this! What a absolutely beautiful couple!! I believe Phil Donahue had his own crush! Who didn't with these two beautiful, talented people at the time!!
I remember I was a kid in the seventies. My brother looks like him in the face and has black curly hair. My brother won many disco dancing trophies in high school and girls were crazy about him. The phone would ring off the hook with different teenage girls on the phone all week and every week during the 70’s. Girls always would ask me where my brother was and what he was doing. It was just exciting and amazing being the brother to someone like this and witness this. Good looking good smelling girls would just pop up at our house just randomly all the time. I was only 10 to 12 during the late 70’s and enjoyed the endless line of knockout looking young ladies who would briefly visit at our house. I had the impression back then that all women were so sweet because all the girls acted so nice, well mannered, and intelligent. I wish I could back to be a kid and witness this again. Our family was poor but, very popular. What a fun magical time in life. Andy Gibb was a handsome young gentleman and genuine. The end of the story is my brother could have any girl he wanted and ended up being foolish choosing the one of the pretty girls he thought was special and she ended up being a bad person a few years later. Scary how the devil likes to destroy good people by bringing them fake impression people. Same thing happened to my brother. Looks like it will always be Samson and Delilah story over and over again till the end of time. The Bible has the true story of Samson and Delilah posted in it for a reason. I wonder why we don’t take it to heart when living the one life we have to live?

I also have loved Andy forever. I'm 65 and just learning the world of computers. I would love to see all of the Chile 1984 concert in full. I also wished Andy would have lived he had so much to lose.
I don't really understand all the negative comments about Victoria. Unfortunately Andy was a drug addict. As likeable and charming as he was, he did drugs and it was the reason he had so much difficulty in his life. She did everything she could to help him and it just wasn't enough. Watch the Behind the Music special about Andy. His mom and brothers talk at length about his drug issues. Victoria was not the reason Andy crashed and burned. She gave him an ultimatum and he chose drugs over her. Drugs had a tight grip on him.
Victoria said that she wasn't shocked when she heard that Andy had died. That in her heart she Knew it was only a matter of WHEN.. Not IF. Yes, the years and years of using drugs had Andy in a Deadly Grip!....And poor Andy truly seemed beaten down and miserable in those last couple years.........
I agree with you there....these fans were teenagers back then who was so smitten with Andy Gibb and they see the partner as the antagonist especially after a bad break up..... I was an Andy Gibb fan back then and a Victoria Principal fan before she even met Andy...both are wonderful people.... and it was just exciting to see that they both are together..... and with all the hates. on Victoria Principal , in this video you can see how much Victoria love Andy... i think this is the rough stage in their relationship but because of her love for him, she is still by his side.... i can see when Andy was ask if there was "alcohol" during tea time with brothers and family, there was a worrisome look on VP's face.. but stayed calm afterwards... its a proof for me that she does love her not like the others tells about her..
An alcoholic's first love is alcohol. A drug user's first love is drugs. No respecter of persons, no matter who you are, the substance will always be chosen over people. It's sad but true.
works both ways and love hits you quick, there have been MANY famous and not famous whirlwind romances that have lasted 50 years or better so maybe, you with your judgmental comment is the trash...I can't say but you are an asshole, that much I know!
PHIL DONAHUE was/is the epitome of "Professionalism". He treated Anyone who came on his show with Respect (regardless of his personal feelings) and genuine interest & curiosity. Today's TALKING HEADS are consumed with anger, hostility, bias, & prejudice...not to mention Gigantic Egos. Really miss PD!!
I was mad at Victoria after his death, but when his brothers were talking about his battle with drugs, I could relate to how she probably because I have close family members that was addicted to drugs, and no matter how much we tried to help them, we failed 💔😔.
Am watching this in 2022 and am shocked how many people want to blame VP or say she doesn't look like she loves Andy as much as he her. She was 8 years older and divorcing. A 30 something year old woman is not going to be googley-eyed and star-struck like an early 20 something woman would. Furthermore, she was an AIR FORCE child!! MILITARY!! She's going to be more mature anyway and far more structured, and expect the same. I had a huge crush on Andy Gibb, one of my first celebrity crushes. My sorrow is great that he wasn't allowed more time on Earth to get his footing. I pray he was accepted into Heaven and I hope Victoria is working towards making it there, too.
No matter what else, Andy Gibb died tragically too young. It is so sad to think this talented, handsome young man, so full of life here, was taken by drugs a few years later.
He seems such a nice guy, how tragic he would die 7 years after this aged just 30. All that promise gone to waste. I think his vulnerability comes across here - people often turn to drugs to give them confidence.
With his heart greatly weakened from years of cocaine abuse, Andy Gibb succumbed to an inflammatory heart virus on March 10, 1988. He was only 30 years old. Evidently, and from what I understand, Victoria gave Andy the option of drugs or their relationship and Andy chose drugs.
How surreal, to be young beautiful, talented and in the limelight, in love. They really had it all. What a blessing. Who could hold on to that forever? Forgive them, the were human.

So many things are. And not for the better either
But the drugs than, is the same now. And with that other drugs came.
I can remember the Saturday morning I woke up to Andy Gibb singing "I just want to be your everything" on American Bandstand and at the age of 12 yrs old I immediately fell in love, covered my bedroom walls with all of his posters, went to his concert and knew someday we would be married...
He was supposed to marry me, but Victoria stole him away...
Victoria Principle…..😍😍😍, I sat next to her at lunch when they filmed a scene for the tv show Dallas at a small airport I worked at . They must of had 20 people from the film crew there for a short scene in the show. It was great they catered lunch and set it up in our hanger . I sat across from Patrick Duffy and couldn’t believe it when Victoria sat next to me..one of those I’ll never forget moments…..
I miss the Gibb boys. I am grateful that Barry is still here. He has a wonderful wife and family......
Barry
Yes, I just watched their HBO special, I miss the 70's, 80's!! Love the Bee gees!!

There is always room for more. The Bee Gee's you never saw - with Pink Floyd: th-cam.com/video/U13xOvDa19U/w-d-xo.html
Young Andy really looked a lot like young Barry Gibb! Both very handsome!!!!
Even barry himself said he and andy are similar even look alike like twins.
Those two out of all the brothers resemble the most.
Yesm Andy was very much a little version of Barry although I do think Barry was the better looking of the two. Robin and Maurice rarely did look like twins which was odd because each individual feature you can compare are very similar. Both the twins ended up being very attractive men indeed but it took them a while to grow into their looks. Barry I believe was born perfect and never stopped being perfect until his 60s and 70's. He's still attractive in the context of his age.
kay armstrong for sure !
He looks and sounds like Barry.
Geez, I remember this era, I am the same age as Andy, he would be 62 now, what a handsome couple.
But, it was a tragic ending.!!
I don't know if I am the only one that finds it so difficult to watch this, 3 x's it took me to get through the whole tape. His sincerity and commitment to her is so obvious and painful to watch. Gosh, I truly miss him. So talented, and a beautiful soul...Fly high Andy, with the rest of God's angels...
He was very sensitive, that was obvious but what the heck happened that made him want to do so much coke in the first place ? There's usually a reason like abuse that makes you want to escape your feelings. I just don't understand what makes someone do a thousand dollars of coke ?!! 🤔
@@lorimiller4301 Influence of satan and demons.
He was wonderful inside and out. I met him on several occasions and he was sincere as he was genuine. When he died it was a sadness so deep that even today it doesn’t go away. I’m unsure what happened to Victoria in this relationship all I know is he loves her but was unable to sustain a relationship together for many reasons I shall respect.
I. Agree very. Difficult to watch. Hes a very. Handsome man. Hes got. Like a distinguished. Look. He sure does look. Like barry gibb. Victoria principal. Is. Stunning. They. Look magnificent. Together i like them..togethrr. beautiful. I like his way. I like her way. Shes. Gorgeous. Shes elegant and down.to eartn
@@lorimiller4301 I noticed that he had little seif -belief
To all the people making ugly comments about his addiction.... Some people are predisposed to addiction. Everyone's Biological, physiological and psychological makeup is different. Some people can try a substance once and can get hooked. It doesn't make him a bad deplorable person it makes him a sick person. I've also heard TV interviews with Barry speaking of Andy having some type of heart condition that his family wasn't even aware he had until after his death. And his addiction only exacerbated that problem.
I will always continue to remember Andy in the most loving light, he was a talented, pure and sweet soul.... the world has never been the same without him...🙏♥️😊
Hi Lori
Yes true. I found an article describing the virus that caused the heart failure. The drugs probably didn’t help but it’s still so sad that Andy was gone so young.
I really love Andy Gibb as a young teenager I got to see him in concert at Kings Dominion❤❤❤
😊 Me too and his family was very upset when they said he committed suicide because he didn't he died of heart problems
I read an article when Andy’s health was failing he asked doctors if this illness could kill him. He had no idea how sick he became. It might’ve been somewhat related to his addiction but no one ever indicated this was a suicidal event. That is just disrespectful to Andy’s legacy. Please ignore the tabloids #misinformation.
Andy was just as talented as all the #Gibb brothers, he just left us too soon. Barry would agree. 👍❤️
Andy seemed so genuine! So sad that his life was cut so short.
He killed himself
What? If you are infering suicide, that is totally false!!
@@lindagabriel2733 don't infer anything about my comments.
He died from a broken heart and cocaine abuse some did think suicide then
all of the gibb brothers were/are immensely talented but andy and barry got the best of the looks. just gorgeous.

Barry was really the best looking Now he the only one left
Lisa Bradford q
He was Awesome! They need to do a Movie on the forgotten Bee Gee!
Absolutely
He is so gorgeous!!!!
You should check out his brother, Barry, in the late 60s. Barry’s even more handsome.
Andy was hotter IMO
@@lisanolan2382Not a chance.

Except when he lied about very significant things like when he began using coke which was before he met VP. If we may take his own mother at her word.
Nobody is honest and sincere in hollyweird!
Andy Gibb will always be missed. That voice that carries his brothers' sounds.
Hi Beverly
Phil really laid it on the line with these two. Oh how I miss the good ole days of media, when people got to the point.
YES. He could see disaster on the horizon. Intelligent man.
Love and miss Phil's interviews
Phil? Andy gibb
I saw Phil at the Ohio fair in the early 70's when he was a local talk show.
Amazing what he became.
Omg, so do I, Phil really was a great interviewer.

Joseph Kearny Super gorgeous! Lol
@@orlybabe Andy Gibb Super gorgeous! LOL! I know the feeling!
I saw him in person once and he was the rare person who looked way better in real life than in photos and film. The only other person I can say that about is Fabio.
@@josephkearny5874 - Well, that is a matter of taste, so you can hardly argue over it... ☺️
I love Andy, he was so amazing!I cry for him even at 59 yrs old! He passed way to young😢love you Andy
I love how Andy says Darling to her and they hold hands during the interview! They were such a gorgeous couple. You can tell they really loved each other. She did an interview in the 90s or early 2000s where she didn’t mention his name, but their relationship. She talked about in a positive manner, and she learned from it. I remember this relationship and his addiction. She gave him an opportunity to stay with her or have his addiction, and he chose the latter. It was very strong of her to do that to someone she loved. I still like her. I love her laugh! I wish she was in more shows or do guest appearances.
I just rewatched the entire Dallas series & I always liked Victoria. Pam & Bobby!! I had posters of Andy Gibb & the 45 of (love is….thicker than water) & The Bee Gees. It was sad he didn’t choose rehab & Victoria instead of the latter.
It’s so bad that the brothers actually blamed Victoria for Andy’s death! Yes , we can died of broken heart, but it wasn’t Victoria’s fault! Bad choices make him suffered ! R.I.P Andy ❤️ I know exactly what you went through, love hurts ! 😭
But then he said let's do another line baby
She never says an unkind word about him, to this day. It was no picnic, watching him deteriorate; I can imagine, but the dignity with which she speaks of him, and that relationship, says so much about them both. It’s quite heartbreaking. He was a bit too sweet for this earth, I think.
He was gorgeous!
True
very much so
And she was delightful
Right?! God didn't play when he made Andy lol!
Yes very good looking
He is the most beautiful men ever, and his voice and sweet personality, i will love you forever.😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍🤗😍🤗😍🤗😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

He was always my favorite Gibb

He CHOSE to be a drug user
@@swolfe9668, if you think Victoria wasn't doing coke with Andy?

You are right. I should have said best looking Gibb bother. Yes, I knew that.
Margaret He was never part of the BEE GEES. He was a solo artist. Sometimes he sang with his brothers, but he was never part of the group.
This is a lovely interview, they both look really happy and in love. What a shame it all went wrong. Andy looked so handsome.

I don’t think neither one of them was wrong for each other. he never got over the breakup & she loved him so much but he got into drugs & it was something that took control over him. She gave him a choice to get help he did but it came back to haunt him off & on plus I believe he was so depressed. It’s not like today where it’s more open & people have more choices. He was clean in the end but it’s a shame how it all ended his heart was broken💔 he really never got over losing her & loved her so much!
@@dfagula unfortunately so but I Agree 💯
I had always had the feeling that she kind of destroyed him. Sounds like maybe it was the drugs.
You're not lying ... going through that now.
He was an absolute doll
Just like his oldest brother!
I still love Phil Donahue. He always seemed so down to earth & kind. I wish his show would have lasted years longer.
Kind of starstruck and cheesy. My Mom loved him. She is and was a Republican, but she loved Phil. That hair. I never understood it. But, he was cancelled by MSNBC, at the peak of his ratings, for speaking out against the Iraq war, which gives me huge respect for him, now.
Beautiful duet. I didn’t realize Victoria had such a beautiful voice. They sound beautiful singing together. R. I.P. Andy. You will never be forgotten. Addiction is a grip that is very difficult to release yourself from. Even with loving brothers and a supportive family it can lead to your demise. Aaron Carter also had an addiction problem with not such a supportive family . Sometimes with or without a supportive family, the addiction is just too strong. Rest In Peace Aaron and Andy. 🙏🏻❤️

Early 80's, I'm walking to the Whiskey on Sunset with two blue eyed blue blondes from Minnesota, Andy was filling a black Porsche with ⛽ gas, he gestures to the girls like I didn't exsist, he produced a baggie with white powder in it, clearly at least an ounce....so, when I got the news, it didn't shock me, Prince, Dolores O'Riordan, Jani Lane, Jimi Jamison, MJ, heck, I was in LA it was 100 degrees out, Martin Lawrence running around with a plastic baggie swear suit and a loaded nine millimeter, anyone with a good memory, Dana Plato, complete train wreck paid the ultimate price many child actors succumb to, Corey Haim....thank Charlie Harper for his demise

Time brings amazing surprises. Two lovers were invited to the program. Almost forty years after this interview, guy is still remembered and loved by millions of fans around the world, and the talkative woman is remembered only in America on the TV series "Dallas" and how she broke this guy's heart.

@@TheWorldTeacher ugh, go away misogynistic whatever you are. 🤮
Every time I see him in a video, all I can think of is Shadow Dancing. 🎵😊
Andy was soo gorgeous his spirit lives on through his music forever ❤❤❤❤
Andy & Victoria really were such an adorable couple. I loved the story of how they met. It tore me to pieces when he died. 💔 It’s a terrible shame that his addictions led to an untimely death, especially because he was on the path to recovery and getting back on track. People see him and think here’s a guy who had it all and threw it away but it’s a matter of perspective. Even the most successful, talented, most loved people can feel insecure, unloved and alone. Those inner demons were just too impossible for him to overcome. 😥
People don't seem to realize that most addictive personality types are generally sensitive, compassionate, deeply caring, and insecure people at the start. Also, performers are put on demand regardless of how they may feel at that moment or how tired or excited or depressed, etc...they aren't given the option to say, i'm going to play hooky today and call in sick. So a little booster or downer is sometimes what it takes to be able to be there on demand.
Dr told me I don't have an addictive personality. Box of chocs, can't have just one. Guess we all have our weaknesses, hate having being controlled. Coke is like a joke, u can't wait till the next line! Back in the day, nobody really knew about coke's evil ways! At least all I was taught, JUST SAY NO &,WEED LEADS U TO HEROIN. When it didn't hard to trust adults.
Somebody said the art of singing or dancing its not so normal you feel so vulnerable especially if you don't act cause they write their pivate intimate emotions down and sing them so after performing you feel so empty you have to makeup for that emptiness especially with all the screaming on stage and adrenaline you go home and you are all alone nobody screamin for you that can be excrucieting if you don't have a good backup system!
Yes I understand addiction
He had fallen that week and knocked his front teeth out- doesn’t sound like he was getting clean to me. What a waste.
Andy Gibb had a face "only EVERY
girl could Love!":
I agree💖💖💖💖
Why did Andy Gibb and vic5oria principal s3parate?
Fred W m
@Fred W That's a story Victoria made up and everyone believes her.
She wasn't allowed at Andy's funeral. When asked why Barry said
"We won't mention that name today". That says it all.
Andy tried to get clean but VP insisted they go to parties where drugs were being used of course.
Only one person mattered to VP and that was herself.
@Fred W Where does that diagnosis come from, if I may ask? He did stop the coke but only because it was hard to come by where he was staying with Robin in the last few weeks of his life but he just switched to alcohol which is easy to obtain almost everywhere. He was falling down drunk for the entire time he was there to the extent he'd knocked out his front teeth. There was no come back in the works although that may have been his press managers putting the best spin on his acts. Supposedly he was there to write some songs and make some demos which seems ludicrous because the leading role in his career was Barry not Robin (Of course I may be talking out my ass and basing that notion upon untrustworthy sources.) It hardly matters since he failed to ever be sober enough to do anything like writing songs or even stand up most of the time.
Being so open-hearted can be so beautiful in terms of having experiences but it can also be heart-breaking!!!
So bittersweet watching this now and knowing what lay ahead for Andy. 😓
It’s been 35 years since he passed. I remember exactly where I was-at work when the news broke.
Andy Gibb was the sweetest person, no airs about him. Yes his family did a fine job raising them and they actually liked one another, all very talented and humble. I really don’t think he got over the break-up even though he said he understood.
Wish Andy was still with us. Such a great loss for everyone. Love you Andy!
No did not get over the break up am sure
I knew Andy and all the family personally...They were all gracious and beautiful people!!!!
how lucky you are to meet gibb family and andy !!!! if you were face to face with andy i would be ashamed
Andy was so beautiful...I don't understand the ashamed remark

The year Andy died, I just read that Bee Gees announced Andy would be joining them turning their trio into a quartet. Can you imagine??
It was my understanding he was never going to be a Bee Gee because Robin and Maurice vetoed the notion. The last thing the Bee Gees needed was another vocalist; there was always an undercurrent of resentment over who sang what and how many songs could they get the lead. Andy would get leads himself and those were going to have to come from someone. Barry would not give up a nanosecond of his face time and mic time ever for any person, place or thing even for his so-called twin, Andy so that someone would have to be Robin. Barry was quick to praise Robin's voice but he tried to steadily reduce Robin's role until no one would ever say he had the better voice. It never quite worked because people have ears. Barry's voice kind of gave out on him but Robin's never did.
He was definitely being brought into the fold, I commented on this on a post for a live performance of "Shadow Dancing" that Andy did in Florida in 1987. Barry said they were bringing him into the group and studio to help record the album "One". He died in 1988 a couple months before it was recorded.
Too late, destiny, was on.
Wao! I miss those days when talk shows were really talk shows not wrestling arenas, i always record his shows and watch later in free times . One of the best host on tv and always will be , loved his work
He loved her SO MUCH!
She killed him. If she gave him an ultimatum, she must’ve not been loving enough TO HIM to keep him healthy. I’ll bet anything SHE WAS A COLD BITCH! So in other words, he couldn’t have loved her SO MUCH cuz if he did, how can you choose booze n drugs over such a beautiful woman IF she was tender and loving: hence the WITCH! Because when a woman is loving ... there’s nothing like it ... especially not disgusting stupid toxic chemicals ew

Victoria seems a lot younger than she is. More along like Andy’s age. Andy seems and carries himself like someone older. He’s an old soul.
@Tisk Lala She is 9 years older than he is and to old for him. What girl in their right mind wants a guy 9 years older than they are.

🎈 I figure that she was 31 years old, and he is younger in his mid 20’s. However, he loved this Woman. I tend not o believe the myth that he committed suicide, after she broke with him. May God Bess his Soul. Gone too soon. RIP. Coming from an American black descent.🎊🔥🔥
@Robin Hartman So true...totally agree
To anyone watching they seem happy but Donahue is no dummy. The questions he asks aren't planned and it's as if he saw disaster coming for them.
His Qs aren't how couples are normally interviewed.
I'm crying watching this for the first time, does anyone see this too?
VP was 31 and Andy 23. He (seems) very mature for his age.
VALERIE BLOUNT 31 is very young. I'm 35 now and look at 31 as being young.
My sister-in-law worked for Lorimar Productions, who produced Dallas, at the time this show was aired. She was a script and equipment delivery driver.

Saw it with my own eyes. Truth.

Hung on every word. Two hopeful lovers before the dark days came. Bless you both.
so sad he died so young. He looks so much like Barry. He seemed lovely and really down-to-earth so it's hard to believe he had addiction problems.
I just finished looking at this video from 1981 and I recall both of them at the height of their careers back then. But, what I'm really remembering is how absolutely beautiful Victoria is (or was). Simply Stunning!! My Goodness . . . . (yes, I'm shaking my head in amazement)
Phil comes through again and this interview program is really top notch and quality for its time. He was never so frank and at ease with his guest. I just love the comfortable atmosphere that issues from his set.
One person speaks from the heart, the other from a script.
Glad someone else noticed
Victoria didn't really care about Andy
She is just careful about the wording, she was loved by the other brothers and they never said anything negative about her.
Yes! Agree! All about her looks and self! She broke his heart!

I remember growing up in my younger days my sister loved Andy Gibb she used to play his song flowing rivers and other stuff too. Out of all of the singers that I really didn't like such as Sean Cassidy and Leif Garrett Andy Gibb was one that I liked. He was the younger brother loved and admired by his brothers in the Bee Gees and Victoria Principal was so beautiful. His life story did have kind of a tragic ending but for a while he was doing so well and they were in love. Rest in peace Andy Gibb.
Very beautiful couple. I wish their love could have lasted. Beautiful duet.
Man he was so talented & had a gorgeous smile. Victoria was a beauty. Very sad how his life ended tragically.
He CHOSE to end his life tragically by being a drug user
Were you there in the 1980s, you know that judges, airline pilots, college professors, clergy and all walks of life were doing battle with cocaine addictions. So a young upstart in the world of entertainment gets hooked and we’re supposed to be surprised? He needed help right here and he never got it.
Our culture is beauty obsessed, but beauty isn't everything. Andy had it, Princess Diana had it, Marilyn Monroe and Amy Winehouse had it. But they all were troubled souls. So sad for this young man and hope he has peace.
Just remember princess Diana and Marilyn were murdered
Lol Amy Winehouse certainly didn’t have it.
True words, their Beaty was, their burden, nothing goes as they liked, so drugs, alcohol, many partners. Ect. 😮😮

My mom was a major PD fan. She watched the show every day. I remember watching this in real-time. I was 13. I thought VP looked and acted too old for AG. There is an age difference. I had a feeling that it wouldn't work. Watching this today, I don't notice the physical age difference but they are still apart emotionally, intellectually, and mentally. I think the drugs were just a symptom. Even if AG got help and persevered, the relationship would have failed anyway. AG was too young for VP. VP had already been through certain milestones that AG hadn't yet.
Leave your mum basement and get a life
These two beautiful peaple were very special and regardless of what some peaple say they were in love at the time the signals are all there to see, R.I.P ANDY and victoria even now you are a beautiful human being say on more.

Andy Gibb had so much talent. It's really a shame he passed at such a young age. It would have been interesting to see how his career and body of work would be today.
I remember how much Andy loved Victoria. They were such a beautiful couple.
He got used by an older predator. Does it hurt us to read these words? That’s what happened here. Even his family could not intervene to stop this. Heartbreak? That would be Andy’s father who was inconsolable with grief.

I loved watching Andy on the show, Solid Gold. He was so handsome and I loved Victoria. Dallas was something I loved watching with my mother. Great memories!
I had no idea that they were together. She was the reason that I watched Dallas. At the time she was one of the 10 most beautiful women in the world! I also did not know that she was 8 years older than him. It is so sad that they did not stay together. It is also so sad that we lost him at such a young age. RIP Andy Gibb!
Andy and Victoria looked so happy and in love. It's a shame that it didn't work out and Andy fought his demons, eventually passing away. 😢 ❤
If only this sweet young man had gone for help back then when the lovely Victoria asked him to instead of 3 years later. Sadly only Andy could make Andy's choices. Tears as I watched this. So much love, yet somehow not enough. Too sad.
No matter how much you love someone. If they don't love themselves. It's a very painful thing to suffer through. You just can't love them enough to make a difference.
I lost a good friend to alcoholism. It's a shame they couldn't get help in time. Will forever be grateful to their time on earth. Andy was so freaking hot!! RIP Andy... Luv you always.
Hi Cynthia
Wow. No matter what happened later, and at this time we all know it wasn't great, but they are clearly in love on this show. Sadly, true love doesn't always last forever, or work out the way we hope. I recognize the look on their faces, they are head over heals in love. And even if it didn't work out, at least they had that. No one can take that away, it was real between them at that time. Wish it could have been forever, but being in love like that is special, whether it lasts forever or not. They had it.
She has never said anything about their relationship over many years. She has kept their secrets very private. She could have written a book or even a movie, but she seems like a very classy, funny, beautiful successful woman. There are always two sides of the story. I Love Andy but he was so messed up with drugs and alcohol, that has to be extremely difficult to be around the man you love and watch him slowly kill himself and his career. How much can a person take.
I Always found Andy to Be Real and a Sensitive and Kind Soul...I can't help it but I Always found Victoria to be Pretentious and used Certain Men to be a Climber...I really think Phil Donahue picked up on this...🌹
Andy was known for being one of the kindest guys ever, much like Barry!
@@kthoresattamente mia cara.

I always liked Phil Donahue.
I was REALLY young when I watched him but he always seemed so kind and humble.
I still think of him that way watching this. I really miss that guy. 🥀🌷♥️
God he was so amazing....and people were sweeter then RIP Andy
He looked alot like Barry
He was Barry minus the beard . The brothers looked liked two sets of twins.
@@carlturner1374 I thought that too,also there was a guy on tv show Bread that reminded me of them.
@@GoldKingsMan I agree his name was Peter . I don't know his surname .
@@carlturner1374 Peter Howitt
@@GoldKingsMan Thankyou he was the smooth operator that kept saying" Greetings" I believe ???
This is the 1st time I saw this! What a absolutely beautiful couple!! I believe Phil Donahue had his own crush! Who didn't with these two beautiful, talented people at the time!!
Phil could actually SEE the problem!!!!
Omg how he made my heart pound when I was a teen.
Victoria, you are so gracious in your answering questions! I have also loved you on Dallas. You are so nice!!
She was very gracious
I remember I was a kid in the seventies. My brother looks like him in the face and has black curly hair. My brother won many disco dancing trophies in high school and girls were crazy about him. The phone would ring off the hook with different teenage girls on the phone all week and every week during the 70’s. Girls always would ask me where my brother was and what he was doing.
It was just exciting and amazing being the brother to someone like this and witness this. Good looking good smelling girls would just pop up at our house just randomly all the time. I was only 10 to 12 during the late 70’s and enjoyed the endless line of knockout looking young ladies who would briefly visit at our house. I had the impression back then that all women were so sweet because all the girls acted so nice, well mannered, and intelligent. I wish I could back to be a kid and witness this again. Our family was poor but, very popular. What a fun magical time in life. Andy Gibb was a handsome young gentleman and genuine. The end of the story is my brother could have any girl he wanted and ended up being foolish choosing the one of the pretty girls he thought was special and she ended up being a bad person a few years later. Scary how the devil likes to destroy good people by bringing them fake impression people. Same thing happened to my brother. Looks like it will always be Samson and Delilah story over and over again till the end of time. The Bible has the true story of Samson and Delilah posted in it for a reason. I wonder why we don’t take it to heart when living the one life we have to live?
Well said 👏.

Andy was certainly proud of that chest hair. All of his shirts were almost completely unbuttoned. 😳
I also have loved Andy forever. I'm 65 and just learning the world of computers. I would love to see all of the Chile 1984 concert in full. I also wished Andy would have lived he had so much to lose.
Hi Brenda
I don't really understand all the negative comments about Victoria. Unfortunately Andy was a drug addict. As likeable and charming as he was, he did drugs and it was the reason he had so much difficulty in his life. She did everything she could to help him and it just wasn't enough. Watch the Behind the Music special about Andy. His mom and brothers talk at length about his drug issues. Victoria was not the reason Andy crashed and burned. She gave him an ultimatum and he chose drugs over her. Drugs had a tight grip on him.
Victoria said that she wasn't shocked when she heard that Andy had died. That in her heart she Knew it was only a matter of WHEN.. Not IF. Yes, the years and years of using drugs had Andy in a Deadly Grip!....And poor Andy truly seemed beaten down and miserable in those last couple years.........
I agree with you there....these fans were teenagers back then who was so smitten with Andy Gibb and they see the partner as the antagonist especially after a bad break up..... I was an Andy Gibb fan back then and a Victoria Principal fan before she even met Andy...both are wonderful people.... and it was just exciting to see that they both are together..... and with all the hates. on Victoria Principal , in this video you can see how much Victoria love Andy... i think this is the rough stage in their relationship but because of her love for him, she is still by his side.... i can see when Andy was ask if there was "alcohol" during tea time with brothers and family, there was a worrisome look on VP's face.. but stayed calm afterwards... its a proof for me that she does love her not like the others tells about her..
An alcoholic's first love is alcohol. A drug user's first love is drugs. No respecter of persons, no matter who you are, the substance will always be chosen over people. It's sad but true.
4 days after meeting her, he moved in with her. Trash is trash.
works both ways and love hits you quick, there have been MANY famous and not famous whirlwind romances that have lasted 50 years or better so maybe, you with your judgmental comment is the trash...I can't say but you are an asshole, that much I know!
PHIL DONAHUE was/is the epitome of "Professionalism". He treated Anyone who came on his show with Respect (regardless of his personal feelings) and genuine interest & curiosity. Today's TALKING HEADS are consumed with anger, hostility, bias, & prejudice...not to mention Gigantic Egos. Really miss PD!!
I was mad at Victoria after his death, but when his brothers were talking about his battle with drugs, I could relate to how she probably because I have close family members that was addicted to drugs, and no matter how much we tried to help them, we failed 💔😔.
Nothing is forever, all the moments are fleeting. Time passes and gone are the days
Wrong the lord is forever
He was so nice,so much class,all of his family2,he speaks well of his bro's nicely!
Am watching this in 2022 and am shocked how many people want to blame VP or say she doesn't look like she loves Andy as much as he her. She was 8 years older and divorcing. A 30 something year old woman is not going to be googley-eyed and star-struck like an early 20 something woman would. Furthermore, she was an AIR FORCE child!! MILITARY!! She's going to be more mature anyway and far more structured, and expect the same. I had a huge crush on Andy Gibb, one of my first celebrity crushes. My sorrow is great that he wasn't allowed more time on Earth to get his footing. I pray he was accepted into Heaven and I hope Victoria is working towards making it there, too.
I still pine over Andy after all this time.
Hi Jennifer
It’s an infatuation. Perfectly understandable but not ultimately healthy.
No matter what else, Andy Gibb died tragically too young. It is so sad to think this talented, handsome young man, so full of life here, was taken by drugs a few years later.
He CHOSE to use drugs he was 100% responsible for his death
He CHOSE to do drugs, no one forced him to. he ended his own life
He seems such a nice guy, how tragic he would die 7 years after this aged just 30. All that promise gone to waste. I think his vulnerability comes across here - people often turn to drugs to give them confidence.
With his heart greatly weakened from years of cocaine abuse, Andy Gibb succumbed to an inflammatory heart virus on March 10, 1988. He was only 30 years old.
Evidently, and from what I understand, Victoria gave Andy the option of drugs or their relationship and Andy chose drugs.
How surreal, to be young beautiful, talented and in the limelight, in love. They really had it all. What a blessing. Who could hold on to that forever? Forgive them, the were human.
Andy has a real sadness about him here. I think they were already having problems. Very sad. He is missed.
She was a tart.a
The problem was he was a drug user
