Dave didn't like her answer because he wanted to keep her in a box and insinuate she could be no greater than her profession.

I remember how much in love she was with Ric Ocasek at the time and was saddened to hear how he treated her in the end after 28 years of marriage.

Of course she had plenty of other contracts and she was a very very veryyyy rich woman .

In today's interviews, she's still honest but she seems much more relaxed, not pretending to be tough.

    Seeing this interview after a more recent one from about a month ago.. my heart breaks for her and what she’s been through .. what she was going through at this time. “I was always seen, but never heard”.. she’s always been witty and smart. It’s shameful that she’s been so discounted by the people she looked to be the closest with. She has managed to embrace aging gracefully, something so many people that are idolized now aren’t able to do.. and yet she’s treated as invisible. I see you Paulina, and I hear you. ❤️

      Her parents immigrated to Sweden first, from Czechoslovakia, when she was 6, I think, leaving her behind, because the escape from the communist camp with heavily patrolled and barb wired border was dangerous, and she then joined them with her grandmother few years later when she was about 10, still in Sweden, from where they continued to America later on. At least I think that's how she got into the free world when she was little. Her escape with her nana was also very dramatic, because the communist were very obstructive and didn't want the family to reunite in Sweden, they wanted to use 6 y.o. Paulina as a collateral and a extortion tool for her parents to return to the commie Eastern Europe! God, those were really horrendously hard times for the people there! Disgusting regime!

    Though it's Letterman's stage, he seems to attempt dominance over women...usually in the form of humiliation to some degree. Porizkova refused to stigmatize women by showcasing her intelligence, growth outside her profession, and accomplishments.
    Men who choose to empower women are the real heroes - we appreciate you standing for us. Thank you for not objectifying women or seeing us as things to overpower...we are strong and healing beings, with incredibly complex inner worlds. It's trauma that tries to diminish our light, creating a lifelong fight to regain our safety and voices. Thank you for understanding the cruelty we undergo for a gender we did not choose. And thank you for opening up your hearts and seeing us as your equal.
