#richardchamberlain told me in 2003 that coming out at the age of 69 changed his life. We also talked about #DrKildare, #thethornbirds and how he dreamed of the glamour of Hollywood. youtu.be/seYDCDlW6G4 #shogun

Sure, you know #LouisGossettJr for #Roots and #AnOfficerandaGentleman," but did you know his connection to #Woodstock? Gossett told me about that in our 1998 interview. Here's an excerpt. youtu.be/eFIeLKW49d4

A shock to hear that #GeorgeWinston has died at the age of 73. He had cancer for 10 years. I got to interview him at his piano after a concert in 2007. Here's an excerpt. youtu.be/lCaD6NYZrGc

I interviewed #JerrySpringer at the Democratic National Convention in Boston where he was a delegate in 2004. He told me he didn't think his guests were weird and that hosting show was so easy a dope could do it. #ripjerryspringer #ripjerry #Cincinnati youtu.be/-jc9NNWwltw

It goes without saying that I've never interviewed anyone like #DameEdna. And if you have any questions about her gender, she told me in 2003 you can talk to her gynecologist. #RIPBarryHumphries #possums youtu.be/rSTEr4NzEsU

I got to interview #RichardBelzer just after #Homicide was canceled. He was still pissed about that. We also spoke about his standup act and being the warmup comic for the first season of #SNL. Here's an excerpt. #munch youtu.be/UnkhJy4mrO0

#GarryMarshall said his sister #PennyMarshall clicked right away with #CindyWilliams. But he told me in 1995 that their relationship soured toward the end. Here's an excerpt from that interview. #laverneandshirley youtu.be/jr5HCx1kmVo

Bummer, man. #DavidCrosby has died. Got to talk to him a couple of times, 27 years apart. Here's an excerpt from our talk in 2014. #CrosbyStillNash youtu.be/fmScDM9Fh08

#BarbaraWalters revealed so many fascinating things in our 2008 interview, like the interview question that would follow her to her grave. But there was one thing she refused to tell me. Take a listen to this excerpt from our conversation. youtu.be/b2sFzcODUxg

#JamesCaan was one of the first stars I ever interviewed. I got only a few minutes with him in 1987 at a junket for Gardens of Stone. Caan was returning to films after a long hiatus, but he told me he wasn't rusty. #Godfather #SonnyCorleone #BriansSong youtu.be/Tr_Bz4chpoE

Geez. And he was just on tour with #TheMickyDolenz1. #mikenesmith has died. When the Monkees first started, they had some big names open for them. Even Jimi Hendrix, as Mike told me years ago. #RIPMikeNesmith youtu.be/F29iO5Wr5s4

2 things I learned interviewing #ClarenceWilliamsIII in 1997: He never said "solid" in real life and never heard of Prince before #PurpleRain. Here's an excerpt. #ModSquad youtu.be/n9RKMXpymNk

I got to talk to #SamuelEWright in character as Sebastian the crab and as himself in 1991. He was a sweet, funny guy. Wright has died at the age of 74. Here's an excerpt. youtu.be/XVP_pB4eoKQ

Sad news that #ChristopherPlummer has died. He'll always be remembered for The Sound of Music. What did he think about that? He told me in our 2008 interview. #RIPChristopherPlummer #SoundofMusic youtu.be/BknAQ5mKVes

Though I never interviewed #CicelyTyson, I did speak with Kimberly Elise, her co-star in "Diary of a Mad Black Woman." In our 2005 interview, Elise called Tyson her "north star" and said she was an important part in human history. #ripcicelytyson youtu.be/BTRtEoBnle8

So sad to hear about #ClorisLeachman. She was hysterical. Had a crush on her from "The Last Picture Show." She told me in 1990 she loved when fans when whinny at her. Here's an excerpt from our interview. #ripclorisleachman #FrauBlucher #YoungFrankenstein youtu.be/QuQgwRfYbu4
