- British journalist, travel writer and historian Jan Morris died Friday, November 20, 2020, at the age of 94. In this profile (originally broadcast February 13, 2000, on "CBS Sunday Morning"), Morris talked with correspondent Tom Fenton at her home in Wales, about her globe-trekking career (including following Edmund Hillary up Mount Everest) and the subjects of her books (including President Abraham Lincoln), as well as her inward journey, of transitioning from a man to a woman.

Wonderful exposé! Thank you
This piece and the interviewer seemed quite progressive on the transitioning matter. It wasn't treated like a spectacle.
I remember her from a Lincoln documentary on the history channel. She was awesome. Rest In Peace
I knew I had seen her somewhere before, that was it! Thank you.
@@johnfd0210 I’m just glad someone else saw it, it’s my favorite Lincoln documentary
Yes, he was.
Btwn her accent & point of view , enjoyed listening to her .
RIP Jan Morris
One of the most important and significant and wonderful humans to walk the earth.
The Pax Britannica trilogy is one of my favourite reads - Morris's authentic voice, and her unabashed romanticism for Britain's lost imperial adventures, comes shining through in a retelling of history that is at once educational, raffishly critical, shot through with melancholy, and often delightfully witty. These days, with history (particularly colonial history) under such constant attack, Pax Britannica is a must-read, and for me a constant presence on my bookshelf.
Jan is fascinating that is all I see or read when I delve into her life!
Ouch.
Rest in paradise jan Morris ❤️❤️❤️
She is a wonderful writer and fabulous person. So true to herself.
He was?
His daughter told the real story after he died. He was cold, demanding and took a toll on the family.
@@chukotka6224 His prose. He also lied to get to the first climbers to peak Everest. Oh, that was "when he was a man," so those lies don't matter.
November 20: She passed away on Transgender Day of Remembrance.
Well, that was fitting, at least....sigh....what a mess he made of his life. His former brilliant and deserved reputation in tatters all around him.
@@maxalberts2003 The correct pronouns are _she_ and _her_ .
@@maxalberts2003 what could you possibly mean?
THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL WORLD EVERYTHING AND EVERYONE SHOULD BE HAPPY AND THANKFUL THEY EXISTED..🐦🐝🐿🐄🐎🏩🗽🚔🇺🇸🌎🌍🌏🇺🇸🐬🇬🇧🕌
rip miss morris
Damn he was 🔥
I read her trilogy of the British Empire. Her prose made me feel as if I were an eyewitness, living in the moment, no matter the year being discussed, from Jamaica to Egypt to India to Burma, from the coronation of Queen Victoria to the Suez Crisis. That is no small feat when writing history.
DADDY PAIN MADE ME WATCH THIS
argh christopher
amazing! love suzi
woah!
Epic disaster as a parent.
Not a very nice person according to her daughter!
Sadly there's a lot of trashy parents in the world. Of any gender, of any job, of any talent.
