This is by far the very best interview ever conducted with Farrah. 👍
What a great interview! I ❤ Farrahs warmth, honesty, and unpretentious! And who knew she was so naturally funny. May she RIP 🙏...
This is an exceptionally well-done archival interview. I'm so glad she loosened up and got into it and volunteered so much.
How I Miss her.❤
I miss Farrah every day. xo
"Did you know Farrah Fawcett died on the same day Michael Jackson
died?". Birdman movie. I liked her very much. A fellow Texan
Me too😞
Yes, I'd love to see her on screen today, and just to know she's still with us, being happy.
Farrah was such a sweet soul 🙏🏼🫶🏼 RIP sweet Angel ✨💖
Very grateful for this upload ❤️
Extraordinary. Such a beautiful, gentle, articulate, kind soul. The interviewer really knew how to listen & gave Farrah the lead in the directions she wanted to take. I loved how Farrah steered the conversation chronologically back to Claude Lelouch & Myra Breckinridge when asked about Logans Run, because the interviewer had skipped almost 7 years of her career. But then we heard nothing on Logans Run. Just one question on Charlies Angels? Farrah rather graciously barely going into detail on how Aaron Spelling attempted to destroy her career for leaving after the first season. No details on Somebody killed her husband or Sunburn. Biggest omittance for me was there was no details & no mention nor questions on the making of (the awesome) Saturn 3 or Small Sacrifices. Gutted. Ah well. At least there was an avoidance of the tabloidy sensationalist elements of her private life with no mention of either Lee Majors or Ryan O'Neal. Farrah we will always love and remember you & you are greatly missed x
This was an excellent interview Farrah was funny and charismatic thanks for posting. 🎉
Farrah shined in the old school movies of the week. The Burning Bed and Small Sacrifices. She was amazing in both. An extremely talented actress.
@MarcusCiambelli Extremities too. Overall she left an amazing g body of work.
Also great in Extremities
EXCELLENT INTERVIEW
Interesting, intelligent, and an artistic soul letting us in so that we learned more about her in the process. The press was never kind to her and she was able to have a career on her own terms. The dumb blonde is a myth and she took control, set a standard for what she would and wouldn't do, and left us a creative legacy of roles and projects that define her as an excellent actress and iconic star.
She was a wonderfull actress. And a funny and inteligent lady!
A reluctant sex symbol who successfully fought to show her talent and brains. Very unusual path and very unusual success in such a quest especially by a sex symbol who achieved that much popularity. She was THE most photographed woman in the world for 5-6 years. Crazeeeeee
I like Farrah so much. Everything about her.
Love my Farrah!
What a WONDERFULLY ENLIGHTENING interview with this extraordinarily humble and beautiful woman. Man, did I have a crush on her when I was a kid. I still remember her poster with the red bathing suit in front of the zarape. ICONIC.
WONDERFUL WOMAN....
She was always very shy! Bless her
Farrah!!!
Im glad Farrah clarified that she had NO CONTRACT. I knew that as a lifelong fan but many folks don't get it. Goldberg ultimately offered her 8% for the use of HER image. She wanted 10%. She told them no, I say what I mean and I mean what I say! Total badass woman. Also she (and her team) negotiated for her to be paid the then unheard of sum of $150k per episode to return to Charlie's Angels. About 7 years later, Joan Collins , negotiated in her contract to be THE highest paid actress in prime time. Legally required. And all Joan was paid was $125k as a series lead. So Farrah really broke alot of ground as a empowered female back in the day.
The interviewer is one of the best of SAG-AFTRA. Where is her credit? Other hosts use the same formulaic approach, repeated ad infinitum. They don't listen to the extent that is exemplified here. This interviewer draws Farrah out; a private, relatively introverted actress who consequently slowly unravels what she has learnt. This discussion is poignant, given Farrah's initial indecisiveness and her own reportedly bumpy private life. Added to which, she only stayed with us another three years. She must have learnt about her condition around this time. Someone you might brush off as one of the less 'real' actors, but not so. She is authentic: "“capable of being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.” (Keats)
RIP Farrah.
18:31 - You can see the sadness when remembering being sued for quitting the show. Farrah barely worked until the case settled. The producers threatened to sue anyone who hired her.
I love her she was so sexy and yet so smart that's what made her 100%
❤
She often seemed very uncomfortable in interviews.. but she seemed to persevere and get through it very well
