Vivian aged beautifully too
can’t say the same for John
She actually got better looking as she got older, which many people can’t say! Feel so sorry for her…..she was treated so badly.
Black don’t Crack
June aged like milk in the trunk of a car during a Memphis summer.
@@christopherjustchristopher2711 you’re so bad! But that made me Lol
this documentary broke my heart. i’m glad her story is being told.
Agreed. They always make her out to be the bad guy while they romanticize June and his affair. June was really a homewrecker but they portray her as his saving grace.
Story Cloud It takes two to tango 💃🕺.... just saying. There would be no June if Johnny was really really in love and happy.
@@lindamoore3729There would be no June if Johnny was faithful, unselfish, and a responsible father and husband. Instead Johnny was out Tangoing w/ another partner while he left his wife at home to raise their 4 children so he could play, in more ways than one.
How can I watch it? Is it on a streaming channel? Thanks
@@GameChanger597 it's easier to cast the long suffering spouse into the shadows because the cheating spouse always portrays themselves as so much more 'happy', after having left.
She was beautiful, Bless her heart she just wanted to be loved and a good wife and mother . R.I.P. You Sweet And Beautiful Lady. I hope they will make a movie about her life they should that's the one I would rather see .
I look forward to seeing a movie about Vivian Liberto
But she chose the wrong man. Yeah she just wanted to be a wife and a mother, he wanted to be a musician. If she had been smarter, she might have seen where he was going to go in his path
I never understood how he could have left such a beautiful lady....but he was a cheat...and didn't deserve this ANGEL!
Most musicians have a gf in every city!
No one knows! Only the ones who took it to their grave! And how it should be!
Because he changed. He wanted a wife who could sing with him, who understood music. Vivian couldn't
There is an old saying,"The first wife paves the way" and those that follow reap the rewards,benefits,adulation and love...I know this saying may be simplistic in nature and marriage in itself is a process,but there is a " ring of truth" to it poignancy.❤
Alot of first wives hang in there....look at Jon BonJovi's wife. She's still married. Look at Barry Gibb's wife Linda, she's still married.
Reap the rewards?
@ Bennie Boi RE: what I meant by " rewards"..My observation was explained,no further explanation needed,read into my statement as you will,so far 143 people had some understanding of the point I was trying to convey.
Very true .well said .
Racism is so ugly and it still exists so strongly.. It’s shows the most dark and inhuman side of people that some call themselves Christians. How could they be? What they did to her with her children was so painful but what they did to black people period was.. this is why people need to know the stories
She was beautiful when she was young ... and gorgeous as she aged.
Hollywood portrayed her as an uptight ,pissed off and nasty woman in the movie Walk The Line... She was the total opposite and even Johnny Cash himself said how saintly she was.
Hollywood also portrayed her as 100% white. ☹️
@@monstermcboo7282 thats how Hollywood is, """"Liberal white"""" Directors, Producers,Actors misdirecting the truth to sell movie tickets to the idiotic sheep of this country and it all started in the early 70's
@@momichaux5054 so when you see racial setbacks in Hollywood like this you blame white liberals??? Thats doesn't sound liberal to me. Maybe there just racist white people. Period.
@@magzmoney Setbacks???? WTF? Todays white liberals in and out of Hollywood are nothing but self righteous, all knowing assholes who believe that they are the only ones who can elevate the status of any Minority because they can't elevate themselves, what a load of shit!!!! I know plenty of Minorities that ELAVATED their own damn selves through hard work, education and sheer determination....
Just finished watching it. It was riveting. I'm so glad her story was finally told in a dignified way. She was brave, strong and a fierce mother who did the best she could under those circumstances. Even age could not fade her striking beauty!!! RIP Ms. Vivian!
Where can I watch it?
@@krowry35 I would like to know that too.
Me too!!
Me also
@@louiseanderson1505 Amazon had it for a limited time.
Never knew Vivian suffered as much as she did. God bless her for being a classy lady.
She maintained unflinching couth ,despite the unbearable adversity
Suffered? She lived a lavish lifestyle from the moment she got with Johnny. If that’s suffering I’d hate to see what war or something is to you.
Being disrespected is terrible . She is gorgeous
Do you realize he wrote the letters to look like he was stable have a girlfriend he never thought about you he wrote those to keep you on a string so so sorry Vivian
I highly recommend everyone watch this documentary. I will definitely purchase her book. She’s was truly an epitome of class and resiliency. Make she rest in peace. 🕊️
I worked with Vivian at Scott’s Apparel in Ventura, a lovely LADY, and a beautiful and elegant lady, light years more than the “Christian” adulteress who was his second wife. Vivian was a decent and kind lady.
Wow, sorry I missed her at Scott’s !! I know I didn’t see her because who could forget a beautiful woman like her!! Haven’t see this doc. But I will. Was she Creole? French? Just beautiful!!
She was a mix of European white with a Black AA grandmother in the mix. I’m the USA, she is considered Black by blood and by lineage. Not that it matters, in the grand scheme of things, but Vivian Liberto was a beautiful and apparently strong Black woman.
I think anyone who sees this?? Can read between the lines of how it really went down! If you read the book??? Oh, she spares no details and I think John probably suffered with guilt in silence for a long time, cause he was probably torn between two women and in the book she tells how savagely June also pursued him but tried to put on a certain… persona so she would look like the hero. Nobody’s perfect but kinda makes you wonder what would’ve happened had Vivian never filed for the divorce, huh? In her book she’s also questioning herself. So saddening the way she was treated by a lot of people and even once he married June, I’m pretty sure he always loved her till the end as well, it’s just that June had this way of trying to control everything. That’s why I think once she died, John and Vivian were finally able to make peace with each other with their last visit. Johnny wasn’t allowed to see Vivian ALONE, she never allowed that and she always made sure she was in every interview. On every single road trip, not because they were so in love but because she had trust issues as well! The chickens had come home to roost! Maybe one day the entire tale WILL be told!
@@monstermcboo7282 she was Italian with a great great grandmother that was half black. She did not identify as black but as Italian.
Plenty of people identify as Sicilian because they’re from Sicily, and they also happen to have African heritage. Doesn’t mean they’re not also Black. And Vivian wasn’t Italian. She was American with some Italian and Black heritage, with probably some other things in the mix, like most Americans. No shame in it whatsoever.
This jewel was hidden for a time such as this. The world needs her story.
She was STUNNING. Her bone structure- those cheekbones!! Wow he traded down.
I mean absolutely beautiful.
She is beautiful, but love is love…
@@Tamara-id1pe , do we get to say the same thing when someone takes the person that you commited your life to away?
June was a beautiful woman too.
He didn't "trade down" to him. He love June Carter. Bitter women always say stuff like that.
When i tell you this lady was gorgeous her whoollle life...man and elegant
I have never heard any of this part of Johnny Cash's private life before. His first wife was stunningly beautiful. Sounds like she was an amazing woman who suffered terribly.
Suffered terribly lmao she lived the most lavish lifestyle a person can and she came from nothing. Not necessarily suffering.
@@bennieboi7114
You must have had your head up your butt
while you were watching this documentary, genius
@@bennieboi7114 Suffering in the sense that she was left to raise four kids all alone while he was on the road, taking up with other women. Not a nice life. At all.
@@bennieboi7114 you believe money is everything, one of the main problems with the U.S. they equate happiness as well as trustworthiness with wealth! Wealthy people are some of the most atrocious people in the world! Look at jeffrey eppstein! If you think money makes you happy, think of all the wealthy and famous people whose children or relatives have committed suicide, even though they lived a "lavish lifestyle!" A friend of mine's son was a singer who wrote and performed a song that got nominated for an Oscar! He took her to the Oscars ceremony! But he hated it, the fame and notoriety! He had been performing professionally since about 13 or 14! She told me how she had to chaperone him in clubs when he was performing as a back up singer as a teen! He works a regular job now and loves it so much more than performing and being in the media! Vivian was a black woman, married to who white people thought was a white man before the Loving Vs Virginia case ruling by the Supreme Court in 1967 that made marriage between black and white people legal! Lavish lifestyle is nothing if you dont have the one you love there with you! She wanted her husband to be with her, thats why she had so many children with him so they could weather the storm of life together!
So happy Vivian's story is coming to light and the truth is being told. I've only found out about Vivian within the last week, but clearly she was a beautiful, loving woman whose family meant the world to her. They say a picture is worth a thousand words and her class and dignity showed in these short clips.
So very sad! I want to PUKE with all this praise for Johnny and June! They were both bad people! Put his 4 girls,and their Mother through hell!!
GORGEOUS WOMAN!!!! After the things I heard about him, and after seeing the movie, ZERO RESPECT!!!! Like Elvis, he couldn't be FAITHFUL TO ANY WOMAN!!!!
Truth be told, he cheated on June with her sister Anita and after that, she would not let him out of her sight!!! There’s so much the public wasn’t told because Nashville wasn’t going to allow a lot of things. Like how he wrote “Ring of Fire” under the influence and gave June the rights for money, and it was written about a certain female body part! Found that out!
She was absolutely beautiful!❤️❤️
She was absolutely stunning, wow.
I read her book, I Walked The Line. I highly recommend it. Vivian and Johnny had a real love for each other and it shows in the first half of the book. I love the movie My Darlin Vivian too.
Johnny Cash married up when he married Vivian Liberto. Her family were well to do Italian grocery store owners. Their quality grocery stores are still a topic in Texas history.
Maybe you think he did, but marriage is about more then love and money. Johnny needed a wife who could be his partner and friend. I don't think Vivian was that for him
She just wanted to be a wife and a mother. She was a sweet classy lady. May God keep her wrapped in his Eternal Loving arms.
How about Junie R Carter Cash? + JR Cash made a lot of Cash. . What happened to his Brother Jack?
..... People still arguing she's not black. She's very obviously part black. I'm not understanding the shock, but maybe I'm impartial since I'm half myself. If y'all can't tell, from her features, to her shape, you're willfully blind.
She's not Black. Two Black people make Black. Having Black in you doesn't make you Black. You can't be Black by default. If that's the case why can't people be white or asian by default?
I see it in her features also. the south goes by the one drop rule. not saying i agree with the rule, but it's always been that way in the south.
@@crystalsthefutureempress She is black.
Vivian was related to Angela Bassett, she is definitely Black!
It doesn't matter? Skin is just a color. I don't care if she's black or white. It doesn't make her less or more important
One of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen. Not just about Cash, but one of the very best of ALL documentaries ever made. Incredibly well researched, and masterfully edited.
I watched the complete video on amazon prime, and for myself who is a hopeless romantic it was truly sad that this woman had endured so much pain while continuing to love a man who for whatever reasons had moved on in life without her. Yet she still loved him to the end.
He didn’t love her anymore. People can’t help who they love it’s a feeling not an action. If he wasn’t happy with the marriage then he had every right to go be with someone that made him happy. Just like so many women do these days when they aren’t happy, the only difference is they are supported when they do it and they get to take half the man’s stuff or more.
@@bennieboi7114Yes, but he literally shits on his daughters. He did not pay alimony and destroyed 5 lives. The fact that you leave your marriage does not mean that you should not have fulfilled your parental responsibilities. But when someone thinks with the penis and not with the brain. And by the way, why was he the lover of the June sisters? Do you think it is right to be the lover of your second wife's sisters?
This breaks my heart. Vivian should have never endured this pain. She was a beautiful woman. You could tell Johnny loved and adored her
You are probably right. At one time a young boy, Johnny Cash, and a young girl, Vivian, were madly in love. People mature, go through life and sometimes grow in different directions. In the end Johnny.Cash loved and adored June Carter. Did Vivian ever get over Johnny Cash? Probably not. He was probably her first love. Sometimes that happens but Johnny Cash should not be punished because he grew to fall madly in love with HIS true love. He and June Carter were married for a long time.
Not enough though. They way he left her is heart breaking...and not just physically left her, but had already checked out of the relationship with June long before he actually left.

@@lillieanne6312 atleast he didn’t take half her stuff like women do when they leave. And funny if a man isn’t happy in the relationship it’s his fault and he needs to work on it but if it’s a woman she’s coddled and told “girl leave his a**” and of course all the blame is put on the man.
@@bennieboi7114I completely agree Bennie, such a double standard! And I'm a woman. I hate how women are babied. Women a lot of times are worse then men in marriage
Quite beautiful. And how she was portrayed in the movie is rotten!!
Yes was disgusting how she was betrayed and how Elvis Presley was portrayed as the drug pill pushing druggie all the claim that that was a great movie I thought it was rubbish because of them two facts two of the most important people in Johnny Cash's life than they were misguided misjudged
I was sympathetic to her character portrayed in walk the line. Up their neck in bills baby on the way of course she was stressed then he's obviously in love with June getting piles of love letters from fans so that too would make a girl nervous then he was arrested for the drugs no wife likes that but what could she do he's a wild man not what she expected when they married that happens.
@@AnnaLVajdaI agree. They made it seem like she refused to accept who he was as a person and an artist when in reality he was always gone, partying regularly, and barely making ends meet. Then they made homewrecker June look like his soul mate who came in to rescue him from a loveless, domineering, critical wife- the old ball and chain. But I guess we can't expect anything different from Hollywood.
That ugly portrayal of Vivian Liberto in I Walk The Line is not worthy of an Oscar.That movie is rag magazine check stand material Purros BASURA ! !
How was she portrayed rotten? I saw the movie more than once. She was portrayed as a woman whose marriage was falling apart and she didn't want that. She still was in love with her husband but her husband had fallen out of love with her. In fact I think she got a good portrayal. In the movie she was not portrayed as bitter or vindictive or any of that. It actually had very little of her in it.
What a beautiful woman and soul. I'm so glad I looked her story up. There is a complete disconnect from the portrayal in Walk the Line and these first hand accounts by people who lived it. Just goes to show Hollywood and self interest can distort the truth as well as any common gossip can. God bless you Vivian. I stand corrected in my vision of you
I'm honestly shocked she was able to pass as white. To me, she looks like a light-skinned black woman. Either way she's beautiful, and I'm sorry she didn't get the credit she deserved.
Right. That's all I see is a beautiful Black woman with a light complexion.
Because she is Italian, German, Irish, and 1 distant relative about 7% is AA.
This is weird how people obsess over people who aren’t black.
@@Igbobabexoxo Even the KKK knew she was black. Her great-great grandmother was black. She is no lighter than Vanessa Williams or Mariah Carey and yet you don't call them black. I guess she's white because she was married to Johnny Cash.
@Ellen Jones
The KKK would call a Cambodian “black” if they didn’t know better. If you weren’t a WASP then KKK didn’t claim you, regardless of your ancestry. See how they did Italians, Greeks, Jews, the Irish, the Scottish? Stop being dense. And It doesn’t matter who she was married to, that will never determine race.
She was heavily mixed less than 7% African DNA. At what point do you all stop grasping at straws? Vanessa Williams is mixed and Mariah Carey is Multiracial. None of the women you mentioned are black! This insanity has to stop, I’ve noticed is only with you Black Americans. Want everyone to be black yet don’t know who you are or what black truly is, so shameful. You’re completely erasing who this woman is because her great great great great great great great great grand was African. That doesn’t even make sense.
@@Igbobabexoxo Granted, here in the USA, we have a wider and more inclusive definition of what it means to be Black. Perhaps from a native African's point of view, _any_ percentage of European ancestry, however small, automatically means that one cannot claim to be Black. Arguably, the African diaspora is too wide reaching for that.
As for Vanessa Williams, she has stated in many interviews over her almost 40 year career that she is Black. Although light skinned, her deceased father was Black, and her mother Helen is clearly a Black woman, both in color and her features. Regardless of Vanessa's European ancestry, in no way is her Blackness negated. At 56%, more than half of her DNA is African.
I rented this on Amazon Prime video last night and it was fascinating. Race really didn’t get mentioned until about half way through, and it just focused on how difficult things were raising four little girls, pretty much alone. Such a sad, interesting story, her daughters loved her fiercely, and still do.
Wow! I just read in WaPo that her maternal great-great grandmother was an enslaved African American. It was on "Finding your roots" with Rosanne Cash being the subject of the episode.
Yeah what is that thing about having to go to court to prove her bloodlines about I wonder.
As a Black person, it's very obvious to me and probably to 98% of other Black folks, that she had fairly recent Black ancestry. How can any one not see that?
@@mbrower3304 It's all I can see! Every single feature on her face is Black. Her hair, the way she carries herself. All of it!
Unfortunately, I guess that's all the KKK could see also and they insisted on making an issue out of it.
I've nothing but respect for her. She worked with what she knew and did what she had to do. We'll never know all the battles she had to fight.
@@mbrower3304 Agreed. She looks like the light skinned black women in my family and any other black family. I can't believe others didn't see that.
@@mbrower3304 I see it for sure! The KKK also saw it and harassed her.
I grew up in Ventura CA... I drive through Casitas Springs about 5 times a week on the way to Oak View... If you look up to the mountain you can still see their house up there on Nye Road. I've looked plenty over the years. But now, after see this movie, I look at it totally different. I was never a big Johnny Cash fan, in fact I'm more a fan of Roseanne Cash, but now that house stands for something lonely and sad, and Vivian is my hero now. This movie about her was phenomenal and I'm glad I learned more about her. It looked like her house with the indoor pool was super nice. On the hill above Ventura High School it looked like. Johnny Cash didn't do right by his family. Even in death, he didn't do right by his daughters either... I'm so sorry for what this class act woman went through❤❤❤
Such a beautiful and sweet woman. A great Mom. It must have hurt her so, that June Carter did what she did
I wonder if Johnny Cash ever felt bad about how he treated Vivian and his children.
lol im pretty sure If you'd ever listened to his music you'd know just how dumb of a question that is. People do their best, people like Cash didn't do well at all at the end of the day, the difference is he made honest mistakes and he owned them
@@Redfrog1011 I don't think it was dumb. Everyone thinks June and Johnny we're saints but they weren't. Vivian raised the four children she had with Johnny by herself. She should be considered in the picture.
Joyce Randall He apparently got sober in his last years, so would hope he finally owned up to God and his heart. As for making amends to her, have never heard.
HOOT! You think!? Kind of like running from Satin to burlap.
@@Redfrog1011 Leaving your wife and 4 children isn't an honest mistake.
It's uncanny how much the movie stayed faithful to her likeness. Like when they got Connor McGregor to play Morgan Freeman that one time.
I literally laughed out loud!!
@@crystalyj30 Me too.. 🤣😂
😳
What we’re they thinking? It’s insulting how they portrayed this woman just to uplift his famous side piece.
Lol
After watching this, I have a totally different picture than Walk the Line Fairy tale. She was a strong woman.
She was exotically beautiful! What a true Lady!!! Im trilled this was made n I can't wait to see it!!!
I always knew Ms. Vivian was the real MVP. I never thought she was this villian to excuse Johnny and June cheating than falling in live and getting married.
Love is love
Well, that’s definitely something that I didn’t know! Now I have to see this! What a brave beautiful woman Vivian was, God Bless Her!
Wow she was absolutely gorgeous! I didn't know about her. She looks like my friend's daughter of Moroccan and Czech heritage.
If beauty could be measure on a scale 1 to 10, Vivian would be a Very Strong TEN. June Carter would be lucky to get a TWO.
She's so BEAUTIFUL!.
Oh my God I am so glad I came across this documentary. John & Vivian's story is beautifully told by their girls, and while setting the record straight on so many things, it remains respectful. I've always wondered how much truth there was to the way she was portrayed in Walk the Line, now I know.
Vivian Liberto's family came from a village near the one where my grandmother grew up in Sicily-in fact, when I saw a picture of her for the first time, I took a doubletake because she could have been my Nona's twin. I agree that who she was as a person is a far cry from how she was portrayed in Walk The Line. In fact, the Country music community did everything in it's power to erase her memory off the face of the earth. It's just shameful what Hollywood does to people who aren't around to separate fact from fiction.
dna proves she had a black great grandmother. people were passing like crazy in the south. it sucked to stay black.
@@matthewmark7224 first time I heard and seen of this woman and the first thing I asked myself was she black? she definitely had some black in her
Hollywood? So we’re excusing Nashville and the South in general are we?
@@matthewmark7224 I figured someone in the family was. She was gorgeous!
@Tom Blaze We can tell African from Italian mostly because of bone structure. Vivian had African bone structure and melanin.
My love to all the girls of mother Vivian. So many words running through my head. I'm so thankful to know the real and true Vivian. God bless♥
Wow she was stunning. Johnny left her for June??? 🙄
You love who you love
@@yolandapaulino5952 Not if you have 4 children at home you don't .
I agree.
No, he didn't leave her. Vivian just got sick and tired and left.
No - She was biracial with black and she filed for divorce so Johnny would not be harassed anymore by them.
She appeared to be an awesome mother, wife and was very beautiful
just watched this. i loved seeing part of Vivian's story, more should have been spoken about her. sad story but a great story. thank you for making this documentary.
Wow. The movie walk the line was on last night and I couldn't bring myself to watch it because over the years it has come to male me uncomfortably thinking about how Johnny's first marriage was destroyed and the wrong he did by his wife etc and it has sort of disgusted me how they make him and June's relationship into some sort or romantic love story. Then I see this and it only affirms what I'd already come to suspect. Walk The Line did not do Vivian justice...but of course it didn't when the couple the film was idolizing didnt do her justice to begin with
He wasn’t in love with her anymore. Seems only men are shamed for leaving a woman they don’t love anymore. When women do it it’s “you go girl leave his a**”. Just another double standard females are privileged with.
I mean you'll have to argue with Johnny and June themselves, because they both loved each other! You're going to tell them they didn't love each other? What arrogance! Love is Love man, and who are you to say it wasn't? You don't live in their soul 😂
Poor Vivian went thru hell. But in a way it was a blessing that Johnny left her, she was better off without him and too good for him anyway. I hope she found some happiness before she died.
She died unfortunately still very much in love with him and from for medical error of them giving her too much fluids. 😢
@@Hensleyistyping 😥
Why didnt any one question the amount of gtts\ minute or ccs \hour that was infusing into her? Did she have a foley catheter to drainage bag ? How much was draining into the drainage bag per hour .I come from the old school of nursing.On the med surge floor patients who were on IV FLUIDS during and after surgery are suppose have 50 cc of urine draining into the foley bag. Q hour.That fluid is going some where else.Was the patency of the IV tube checked.Was she assessed thoroughly before ,during and after surgery.Many questions
@@rowenasuarez1868 seem a little sus to me. Sad.
None of us will ever know lol. Why ask us?
This lady was clearly always beautiful but my goodness...the more she aged, the more beautiful she became!!! 😍💯🙏
Johnny cash was full of light when he married June. They had a marriage that was everyones dream. So happy and in love.
The horrible things of the past and how she was treated ! God bless your beautiful Mother!
She was an amazing woman and stunning had a lovely family so sad to see true love end but they had a beautiful family god bless them all x
What a beautiful strong woman! Can't wait to watch this.
Vivian was beautiful! Look at her older pictures, she aged well!!! June, not so much!!!
Ugh that June. I didn’t understand that scene in Walk the Line where Vivian tells June “get away from my kids.” And then I realized she probably already knew about June and Johnny having an emotional affair before it became physical, and that’s why Vivian was so gangster!!!
Hey I thought June was cute. Obviously Johnny did too lol
Wow June was a snake. I totally bought into the movie. How Vivian was portrayed in the movie really made me dislike her.
I'm sorry Vivian you were truly a beautiful magnificent woman. Rest in power 🙏🏾
Vivian wasn't portrayed badly. Any wife would have been angry if her husband started obsessing about another. According to the movie Johnny had such deep issues with his father that damaged him. I think he needed June and her family's strong Christian faith. Not everyone is in such dire need. I think he was.
@@suereed3474 So it's ok that he cheated on his wife and broke his marriage vows because he "needed" June? Why did he cheat on June then? Did she not meet all of his needs? I can't imagine trying to find an excuse for cheating. There is none.
@@ddot9566 No, it's not okay. But people do that sometimes. I am not God. I cannot judge. He was on the road and fell in love with someone else. It wasn't his intention. The world is made of many broken relationships.
@@suereed3474 You may not be judging but you're definitely making some interesting suppositions about the people involved. The facts are that Johnny was a cheater. He cheated on every woman he got with. I don't care what "needs" he had. He was dead wrong to go about satisfying them the way he did at the expense of his wives and children. Another fact: there is love that is real and sacrificial and then there is what people claim to be love which is self-seeking and pleasure centered. Love is a choice. Lust and attraction are not but you still get to choose what actions you're going to take. Nobody held a gun to Johnny's head and made him cheat. He chose to fuel his desire for June ad countless women after her and commit adultery against his wife. Those are facts.
@@ddot9566 I had no idea he cheated on both. I didn't even think he cheated on his first wife. I thought he left her first. I am not Christian. I have been married for over 45 years. There weren't always good times, but I love and am still in love with my husband. I don't judge, because marriage is hard.
There are innocent people who suffer unjustly.. Saddening..
❤🤗
One of the best and most important documentaries made in and on rock n roll history. I knew it was going to be good but damn it really blew me away. Vivian is a Saint.
I just finished watching this. You could tell she still loved him very much.
This woman was STUNNING 😍
This documentary is a perfect reminder that *there are always two sides to every story.* Vivian was cruelly maligned and misrepresented in the media both before and after her and John divorced and Hollywood flat out did her wrong in the 2005 movie Walk the Line. I give full credit to her daughters for being able to make peace with the movie's slanderous portrayal of their Mother, I honestly don't know how they did it. If my own Mother was ever vilified that way on film I would've sought legal counsel over it and I'd definitely still be angry about it to this very day.
So glad to see the other side of the story. Grew up watching this unfold and glad to see this. Wonderful!
Ms. Liberto married policeman Dick Distin and lived in Ventura County, CA until her untimely death in May 2005. She was a pillar of the community in Ventura and enjoyed her privacy alongside her husband. He passed recently in 2019.
Very much looking forward to watching this!
Stunning! Thank you Matt xx
She was so beautiful with a big strong personality! ❤️❤️❤️
I never knew until this story that he ever had a wife before oh my gosh!!
She looks biracial. I hope this gets discussed. I always felt like she is part black. That melanin allowed her to age beautifully 😍
She’s Italian

She was beautiful
This documentary was beautifully done. I have watched it twice :) for anyone who loves Johnny Cash or documentaries, this is a must-watch!
Her story needed to be told. Its a shame that Walk The Line was not truthful about who she really was.
This is fascinating. She really did age beautifully.
She was such a natural beauty. I think in a episode of Finding your Roots it was revealed that she was biracle..I think her husband knew from the beginning and loved her regardless ..It didn't matter..I doubt she ever denied her truth.. it's such a thing of Faith & courage to keep going after a Marriage has ended...But it is a must.
Yeah, she looks like she was ½ black.
She had African ancestry down the line just like Johnny did. A lot of white people do because if conquests from hundreds of years ago. Also, she did not know she had African ancestry. Many Italians look like her.
@@lisacox3750 conquest? That's a fancy way of saying rape.
Don’t lie. Just don’t lie. She was not biracial on the moon. She had 1/64 black ancestry. Which means she was a white woman. She was proud of her overwhelming European heritage. Don’t be one of the African-American people on his thread shouting please
@@crystalsthefutureempress rape or whatever it was so so far back there even if she didn’t know about it which she didn’t she wouldn’t want to have anything to do with it. Her daughter was clear about that. It’s amazing how many African-American people want to claim and one drop people who don’t want blackness.
She was so beautiful!!!
She was lovely I always fancied her myself
Beautiful movie! So appreciated the back story 😢 As with most celebrities the truth usually is way worse than the story they “present”.
I really like this documentary with her daughters talking about their mum and her suffering. The saddest thing is she is portrayed as a woman forever loving a man and never getting over him despite him loving and marrying someone else. They wanted to show their mum was erased but they did the same by erasing Vivian's husband. As if he was just an accessory and not important...which means a life not worse mentioning, exactly what Jhonny did to Vivian.
I actually purchased the documentary on Ms.Vivian, It’s people who really believe Johnny and June are this great love story. Nope it was lust and adultery, while Johnny was getting high and chasing June ,Viv was bein a mother and making a home for her family. This was Vivians 1st (unknown to man) while seasoned June (3x) married. Vivian was so beautiful against plain faced June, he obviously Cared for her to leave your family for.
While ppl were complaining that she was”Negro” and boycott his show tons of white kids was going to see our “Negro”
😂😂😂😂😂😂 so much self righteous judgement from you.. you're worse then a Christian
Love is love, saroncarter. If Johnny said he was in love with June, who are you to argue?
If Viviyhad cheated on Johnny, your attitude would be different. You're just biased because you're a woman
This beautiful lady had amazing strength!
She was much prettier than June
Wow Vivian is absolutely stunning ❤
We are not doing any favors as Black American when we indulge in one drop reverse colorism. I am a quarter black and deeply proud of that but I deal with a lot of racism from one race Black people because I don’t look and identify the way many expect me to given how I look. And I’m seeing the same thing happen with Vivian. Please don’t erase alternative narratives. If you are all one race in phenotype you don’t understand Vivian and what it’s like to go through life and not have the way you see yourself match your physical appearance and have your physical appearance judged. It seems if someone was lying and spreading rumors that my grandmother in law, this great woman was passing and faking her identity I would be deleting those comments. Again , as Black folksiness need to grow beyond this. You can say it’s the “fault of white people “for making us act this way but it isn’t. It’s our own fault.
Yup. I said the same thing. She had distant black ancestry that didn’t make her Black. And people calling her a black does a disservice given that she was 1/32 Black.
Oh, you've hit on the racism that liberals say doesn't exist.
This is why I say skin doesn't matter, because people worship it too much
She was a NATURAL BEAUTY, she had the IT factor
This was an amazing story. Everyone should see it.
Okay. I'm just gonna say it. I didn't care for Ginnifer Goodwin as Vivian in "Walk the Line". Don't get me wrong. Goodwin's a great actress! In fact, I loved her as Judy Hopps in "Zootopia" (probably the one modern Disney movie I love)! But Vivian was far too vilified in the movie, not to mention Goodwin and her don't look alike at all.
Should’ve been Tessa Thompson
I’ve never seen Walk the Line and I don’t intend to ever watch it now.
Yea
@@ddoubleu170 Tessa Thompson looks nothing like Vivian. That would have made zero sense.
@@lisacox3750 -- I disagree (as well as fifteen others). They share quite the resemblance, but Vivian was more of a beauty.
My point was as much as I love Ginnifer Goodwin, her selection as Vivian was a poor one.
...I hoy a question, did I understood that the daughter who cried for her mom Is because "Johny's New wife claimed her children". June Carter wanted the first wife children. I had trouble understanding this part.
After June and Johnny were married, June would say in TV interviews that she was raising her seven children (three of her own from her three marriages, and Cash’s daughters with Vivian). Cindy Cash also says she discovered a letter Vivian wrote but never sent to Johnny asking him to tell June to stop referring to their daughters as “her children.”
I've seen "Walk the Line", and at least one Johnny Cash doc that mentions Vivian, but it was nice to get to know the real person through this doc.
I just watched this and it was really eye opening. I’ll never look at Johnny and June the same.
Love is love dude
She was so extremely beautiful and exotic, her beauty stayed even as she became old....
She was so obviously mixed race. It's hard to believe he didn't notice it at the beginning. I'm glad the DNA finally revealed the truth. Vivian was already gone by then, and so was Johnny, I think, but it was important that the truth was finally revealed. Secrets destroy.
Connie Wolf, the human species originated in Africa. Every human has some African DNA. We are all distantly related to each other.
You'd be surprised that white men notice things like this. They're very colorist. So as long as you're white passing/you look white; they accept you. "Accept you" if you will.
This was a great documentary!!!
Such a beauty of a documentary ❤
Oh my gosh what an absolutely beautiful woman!!!!!!!
Wow, you can learn something knew everyday, I never knew this, beautiful lady.
What a beautiful woman. My gosh
Uau she is really beautiful. What eyes. I had only seen June in the film Walk the line but Vivian i think embodies the term of mother, elegant and also fragile in the whole system of fame. I will watch this all and have a further insight on her.
A lot of people love the idea of marriage to a famous person, but most don't realize that person's famous comes before their relationship with you. If they find someone who puts fame first, and pushes it, increases it, their vows to you soon become an afterthought. That happened 50+ years ago...imagine how it is today. She didnt deserve the life he gave her, and no one does. She became the woman scorned in country music... sad
Wow she was Beautiful!!!!!
