Barbara Walters is the most overrated person. Frankly, she makes me sick. Who is she but a parasite who has made a living asking provocative personal questions of famous people? She's as small as the sheeple who pander after her pathetic non-accomplishments. Of course, this doesn't mean squat to Walters, but it needs to be said.

Friends of hers say she wanted to be a woman and live for love. Up to that point she had been like a nun! Gives her more depth and complexity. We will never know who she really was but it's amazing she still has people in her spell!

@Discoboy504 What can you expect from Barbara Walters?

@Discoboy504 -- Get a life, Discoboy504. As disconcerting as it may be to you, Callas is a human being, not some image frozen in celluloid. What is wrong with being asked about love, about marriage, about the intrigues and betrayals she, and everyone else, experiences. Walters didn't ask her to bare her soul, didn't attempt to deconstruct her before the world, just a look into some of the complexities, the human frailties and marvels of a profound artist. Insensitive...omg drama queen -get real

Respond to this video... Most interesting are the complexities, the wisdom these individuals, as a result of their rarified experiences. The contradiction of womanhood and artistry -- to sing as a career, or to fulfill her womanly duty to love and be loved -- this is of great interest, and ultimately enhances her. Enough of your pretensions.

@orella25 --Oh shut up, with your bloviating. Just. Shut. Up. You pretentious bore! Yes, Barbara Walters romanced media whoredom, often, but the questions of a famous person, as to their persona, a more intimate look as to who they are, is of interest to the public; it is more interesting to know the artist as a person, not merely an aesthetic abstraction, a two-dimensional image whose mere utterances are of songs for the stage, the inspirations of artists and people for song alone.

What do you expect from fucking Barbara Walters.

The interview (which she freely agreed to ) reveals an important aspect of her personality; the self-destructive part. She states it is more a woman's job to have a man of her own than to sing. That is not a particularly wise belief to hold when you're maria callas. She chose in Menegheni a man who helped develop her career and in Onassis one for whom she'd neglect it. Fascinating personality and artist.

What ladies with the class and intelligence of Maria Callas and Jackie saw in Onassis has always baffled me. Jackie probably was influenced by the money power and after the asassinations of her husband and his brother by the man's aura of power and the security surrounding him. Maria however got little out of the deal and this boorish uncultured man impeded her artistic progress and wasted precious years of her life, she could have spent singing.She got very little out of being his mistress.

Maria Callas was a flamboyant public figure who courted publicity through out her entire life. Barbara Walters was asking for personal information that may have influenced Callas' extraordinary career. Was it any of our business? No. Did we care about Maria Callas. Yes.

WHAT ABOUT THE FOR EVER GREAT LEGACY OF AMAZING MUSIC AND PERFORMANCE'S THAT SHE LEFT US TO ENJOYED ,WHY NOT INSTEAD OF THE STUPID QUESTIONS GIVE HER ALL THE COMPLIMENTS FOR SUCH A DELIGHTFUL VOICE AND INTERPRETATION OF ONE OF THE HIGHEST'S FORMS OF ART !!!!!!!

VERY rude questions. I would have told her to go to hell. I cannot believe she was so rude and insensitive to Maria.
