A deeply sensitive woman who wrote brilliant lyrics. Even her "Hollywood" songs were so thought provoking...intense. They were fun, too. At the age of eleven, I was haunted by the lyrics to "Come Saturday Morning." I couldn't wait to experience my "Saturday morning."

What a treat to hear David Amram talk about working with Kazan on SITG. The music for Splendor has always been at the top of my list of favorite movie scores. What a marriage of music and film. Like Hitchcock, you can understand how vital a man like Kazan was to all things involved with the maki...

I had no idea what an intelligent and articulate man he was...he really was not a self-promoter during his lifetime. I thought he was anything but what he has shown himself to be, here. Nice surprise.

Interesting that Siegel asks him why a 59 y/o man would need to take drugs. Three decades later, we have millions and millions of people (men, women and children) taking antidepressants--drugs prescribed by a doctor and gotten at the local pharmacy. Something that would have been hard to conceive...

They also used the set in an episode of "Mannix." The episode is titled "One For The Lady" and it aired 9/26/70.

He's not playing himself, he's playing a character who is straight. What's the big deal?

"No autographs, just show me your elephant guns." Funny scene...Nancy Culp is perfect.

If you notice, the majority of people in this video died before 1996...before the introduction of protease inhibitors. When those drugs became available for the treatment of HIV/AIDS, it meant that those dying of AIDS had a chance at surviving the disease. If a victim was still alive by 1996, the...

@fontenayperi VOTD stands for the 1967 movie, "Valley of the Dolls."

@pat442389 I've heard/read all of this before.

Kennedy's autopsy shows that the throat wound was an exit wound.

Kennedy's head wound could have ONLY been made by a bullet entering the back of his head.

What I'm having trouble understanding is why Connie didn't get to do any of those great musicals of film that a person like Streisand got to do? I love Streisand, but Connie is right up there with her.

The girl had a beautiful instrument. She has a feel for those songs; she has a feel for a ball...

This is a LIVE performance and she is flawless. Brava, Connie!

Watching her in interviews, she seems to have a sharp intellect, as well.

I'm amazed! I had no idea that Connie Francis was that good. It seemed effortless for her.

Wow! She was really good. I'm impressed.

Lovely scene...lovely voice. I've never seen her look so relaxed on film.

An intelligent, articulate, funny and insightful Grande Dame. What more could you ask for in an interview? Your best so far.
