Mr.Leonard was the first to be interviewed for the TV Academy's archives..sadly..it is also his last project..prior to his death.

Firstly, they're old. Secondly, they all smoked like chimneys back in the day. I'd be surprised if they didn't cough through much of the interviews.

I've been watching several of these TVLegends interviews, which are wonderfully interesting, but I've noticed that a number of the featured stars have persistent throat/couging issues during the taping. Just an observation.
