    I can remember as a kid my mom saying how talented funny and underrated she was... I'm in my 40s now. .. It's a damn shame it took that long for Hollyweird to figure out what they have. ..

    Could she be any more fabulous? I think not! It’s always so inspiring to discover an icon to adore when they are increasingly scarce and uncommon.

    I was recently a victim of Narcissistic Abuse. Had no knowledge of NPD - Narcissistic Personality Disorder, which is a form of mental illness. We’ve got to educate ourselves. So true, while we are/were victims, we have to acknowledge and heal or own wounds that allowed us to accept the bullshit!

  • @WH012Vids
    @WH012Vids Před 6 lety +4

    I feel bad for that interviewer lol. The force of her presence and being was so overwhelming! I just don't think he could keep up, or match that force. She's such a grand personality. Enjoyed every moment of it, but not sure I could handle it lol. I might have been completely drained by the end. She knows who she is, and she just exudes confidence and greatness.

    • @IAMMOVIN4WARD
      @IAMMOVIN4WARD Před 6 lety +5

      He's a millennial, so maybe that explains his actions. I agree, as a Gen Xer, he didn't grow up watching her the way I did. He can only relate but SO far!

      i see what you're saying, but I love that she's being interviewed by a young black man from a different generation. it sets a tone in the interview that i don't think it would have if she was talking to oprah. she's a force, but the interviewer held his own and asked good questions. the dynamic really allowed her to shine. loved it.
