Dang, she was what, 74 when that interview was recorded? And she still looks quite beautiful there!

Yeah, I knew Barbara and Don were friends but I knew they weren't close. She said that she identified more with Max and not Don. That makes sense to me because I always thought that 99 and Max were awesome together. It is really different today. Everybody knows Everybody in Hollywood and most people get along. When tv shows ended back then....THAT WAS IT! When a tv show ends today, it is very emotional. I think that is the way it should be. I'm glad that Don was nice to Barbara though.
