      Katharine Hepburn. The other I stumbled upon elsewhere that was fantastic? Mae West.

    I'd love to see the interview where she says Lilli Hellman is a liar

      I came for the Hellman remarks but I stayed for the words “grudge gyp.”

    I would have liked to have seen the whole interview.

    She was portrayed in the biopic 'Hannah Arendt' (2013), about her friend, the German philosopher.

    She walks on and, holy crap, that's Duke Ellington. Only on the Dick Cavett Show.

      Coincidentally McCarthy and Ellington both wore a smile as their characteristic expression, but a sort of generic smile, not a spontaneous reaction to happiness in the moment. Nobody’s that happy continuously. It seemed they were using their smiles to maintain their distance from whomever they were speaking to.

    Oh em gee! Thank you for uploading. Do you have any more Mary McCarthy where this gem came from?

    Pulling out a cig from her purse to smoke on set is just amazing. It's so bizarre to see now. So normal then, no one blinked. But, imagine if someone did that now.

    • @ronmackinnon9374
      @ronmackinnon9374 Před 2 lety

      I remember seeing Johnny Depp do that (no purse involved) on Charlie Rose's show in the late '90s or early 2000s. But it was already unusual to see by then, probably not in the era of this interview.

      Yes it would be shocking.

      I believe that's the only time I've seen a female talk show guest bring her handbag out with her. Maybe she wanted to keep her cigarettes within reach.

      Mary died of lung cancer in 1989.

      I know right lol it’s like she just strolled in off the street. We need to bring back this combo of smart conversation and informal mannerisms, it’s the total opposite nowadays

    Interesting. Mrs MCcarthy has written amazing books. I read The Group(1963) and
    Memories of a Catholic Girlhood(1957).His
    Literary reviews in Partisan Review are well
    Worth Reading as well.

    Where is the interview where she said that infamous comment about Lillian Hellman??!!

  • @johnjames661
    @johnjames661 Před 2 lety +7

    Humans of this era were still able to carry on articulate, interesting conversations! No longer is that the case.

  • @Gannooch
    @Gannooch Před 2 lety +1

    I have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Art Carney or Jackie Gleason? I don’t have Decades.

    • @Gannooch
      @Gannooch Před 2 lety

      have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like the other videos around here.

    She died of lung cancer in 1989 in case anyone is curious about the cigarettes. I wondered why she came out with her purse.

    Once a communist, always a communist. Someone cannot erase that which is in their heart. People don’t go around advertising their disdain for a freedom founded Constitutional Republic only to hide their inner truths.
