@@shelly2599 unfortunately it's was, she only lives on in the memories she left behind in all of her close friends and family and fans. She went home to glory soon after this interview.
Cass would have fit in perfectly these days just as then. Especially now that we have weight acceptance more, and her personality is awesome, being open to change, her talented singing voice. She would have loved the Internet. I wish I knew her. My mother loved Cass. She had her records and Mamas and Papas Records Her daughter Owen Vanessa looks a little like her
I am 68 yrs old and have been a fan of the M&P since they came on the scene. Fell in love with her voice and personality. She was so funny! I’ve been praying and hoping for a film on her unique life for years now. I hope someone comes out and does her life story justice. I hope they use her recordings because there is not another artist out there that could do it justice. Only one Cass Elliot voice. There will never be another in this world!! So thankful we have her vocal recordings and these you tube recordings. Thanks to everyone who has contributed to making these available to all her fans!!!
Mike Douglas had one of the best shows. It was on in the afternoon so I could watch it. He was patient and asked really good questions of his guests. Cass is so smart and sweet here. Lovely too. Sad she died so young.
15 seconds into the show and already she makes me laugh! "Well I'm glad to be exposed." Lol gee I sure wish she was still around. Such a wonderful personality, and great sense of humor!
From what I can gather from IMDB it appears that this show aired on Monday, February 23, 1970 and Cass was on the show all that week. I’d sure like to see those shows. I hope they survived and are in a vault somewhere. We need good television like this back today.
I literally grew up with music all around me every day. I remember how much my dad liked Cass. He loved looking at Michelle, but preferred hearing Cass. She was one of the influences of my life.
@@AnthonyLago I know about stage names. I think I didn't make the connection at the time that Cass was supposed to be short for Cassandra. I had never heard that before since everyone called her Cass. I think he was trying to get at her real name and I just find the reluctance to tell it interesting. Olivia Colman, Meryl Streep, Woody Allen, and countless others all have stage names, but typically you see them fess up to it in interviews and things.
Awww.She is so quiet here.Rather soft spoken” Though once she got comfortable in the interview,she’d relax. Easily to see this lady is very very intelligent! Her speaking voice? So quiet and soft as I’ve said. Soothing as well. Now her thick gorge hair ,big saucer eyes ….I’m sure she’d be fun af person to hang out with! Even go shopping. Thrifting in London) Wow! I love her wit love this interview! I’m so happy I stumbled across it! Oh man…..its sadly over? Cassandra ? But I heard Eleanor was in another interview) her preferred name to ref [ and birth name) can some fan. Help a chick other true fan of hers out by setting the birth name right? Guess by this must be Cassandra?.
That seemed a bit weird to me to start with, but I realised he didn't mean anything by it - he meant she wanted to earn enough to put food on the table, that's all.
@@sg-yq8pm Unfortunately EVERY talk show host of the era, except Johnny Carson, and every reporter and interviewer would make comments. She was the 1st FAMOUS woman who was overweight. I remember when people 1st saw her they were appalled that a fat person would allow themselves to be seen in public. She endured great humiliation and ridicule for just trying to achieve her dream. We can't imagine today but it was a very different time.
That is a figure of speech in the music business, or artists in general, we do things so we can eat..., The term starving artists, or musician is a real thing, I speak from experience, and you are watching from 50 years of future bias and times were different then not as sensitive and comments were taken at face
I can believe he made such a nasty comment about her weight. What a pos! She wasn't that big! Yet that's all ppl ever saw of her, so sad she was so much more.
It's a musician thing, I played country music because I wanted to eat, it's a starving artist phrase, like the term starving artist, it wasn't meant as a diss, but a term of artistic direction
@@shable1436 I get that. Just seems like a poor choice of words giving Mama's size. Love seeing her interviewed. So clever and down to earth. What a talent!
Such a beautiful woman. I hope someone makes a movie about her life.
That would be amazing what a great idea
She was and still is a beautiful woman. 🍪

I'D DEFINITELY BUY IT!
@@enolamsamohtthink your confusing her w her friend Janis Joplin
I could listen to Cass all day long. Shes so wonderfully witty, so intelligent and so calm. Love you Cass, always have, always will.
Me too! Her voice and attitude is so soothing.
She had a 160 IQ. Extremely intelligent. RIP Cass

She was gorgeous and charming. Lovely lady who left us far too soon.
I love her speaking voice.
Omg Cass is so flawless in this interview! Her hair is so perfect, her outfit, her vibrancy, everything! She’s my favorite! ♥️
She is from near where I live
@@shable1436very cool😊
God she had such a quick wit! Such a tragedy she went so young
15 seconds into the show and already she makes me laugh! "Well I'm glad to be exposed." Lol gee I sure wish she was still around. Such a wonderful personality, and great sense of humor!
Love her. Still so missed. We were all robbed when she passed away.
Her sister Leah ended being in the law business. Great interview! One could listen to her talk for hours. =)

Steve I don’t know. I’ve seen that on other videos out here. Maybe to prevent people from downloading it and re posting?
So smart and witty.
She's hilarious. Great to see this.
I'M IN LOVE WITH CASS WHAT A GREAT LADY SHE WAS GOD BLESS HER💕💕💕💕💕💕💕
I literally grew up with music all around me every day. I remember how much my dad liked Cass. He loved looking at Michelle, but preferred hearing Cass.
She was one of the influences of my life.
Used to watch Mike Douglas every afternoon with my mother. Probably saw this one back then. She was an awesome singer.
What a talented, genuine, funny, ahead-of-her-times woman! Taken much too soon.
Thank you so much for sharing this interview with us. That live performance of “It’s Getting Better” is just super!
She had a voice for singing pop standards . I could picture her singing Cole Porter ,Irving Berlin
Interesting how she said her name was Cassandra when google says her real name was Ellen Naomi Cohen.
Ever heard of 'stage names'? Elton John's real name is Reginald Kenneth Dwight. It's very common.

@Jarred Knox Her Daddy nicknamed her Cassandra - It was a family moniker.
Beautiful
Gorgeous and smart
I could listen to her all day. So sad. :(
"I wanted to be a lawyer."
"And you made it!"
LMAO Cass was hilarious.
Shame there are so few of these. Could listen to her for hours.
Loooove her..so beautiful and witty !!!

Lovely to see this side of Cass.
Thankyou 🧡
Cause you wanted to eat??? Seriously

I think he meant to stay alive and support herself but it came out wrong. Sadly, her weight was referenced by all talk show hosts at the time though
"Tell me about the outfit... Did you design that?"
"No. It's from the Barnum and Bailey collection."
I love her so much
We all miss you Cass…❤️
You rose above it all. After hearing about John Phillip's insest, I'm sorry you had to even be around all that darkness but you shine.
What a lady....so funny and witty
Tolle Show!
I can believe he made such a nasty comment about her weight. What a pos! She wasn't that big! Yet that's all ppl ever saw of her, so sad she was so much more.
Did Mike really just say that she strayed from jazz because she wanted to eaT!? I'm sure it was unintentional, but what a poor choice of phrase!

@@shable1436 Exactly, and all artists understand it immediately, just as Cass did.
Love & miss her every day! Only thing I can think of is that God needed her home for a reason.
