Ten years ago she sold her jewelry collection to support stem cell research -- just another example of what a wonderful person she was. Thank you for this interview I'd never seen!!
She was the epitome of class and reinvention, starting as a painter and sculptor, then to film and photography. She even ran for the Italian Senate last year at the age of 94! Riposa in pace, Giina.
She was almost 60 there and was looking like 40, Gina really took a while to get old, she always looked younger than she really was ❤ A true gorgeous, glamorous, talented and intelligent woman, una donna solare.
Thoroughly enjoyed this clip. Miss Gina seemed more down to earth than I would have thought. Beautiful and funny Lady. Loved her in "Solomon and Sheba." RIP
Prego per la tua anima Gina. Eri una donna molto vitale, di talento. Il cinema italiano perde un' icona. Da italiana mi hai reso orgogliosa per il tuo talento, davvero! E' pur vero che non eri credente, non condividevo molte tue affermazioni e scelte .. Dio però conosce il tuo cuore e i tuoi pensieri, solo Lui ti conosce profondamente.... ora sarai dinanzi alla Sua misericordia , che è infinita. Riposa in Pace.
When I was a "kid" - a virile young Pre-Teen, I had a tremendous CRUSH on GINA in her acrobat Outfit !! R.I.P. Gina L. Super Class Lady and so Beutiful to Boot. Just Look at Her Vibrant Italian Passion - Love It !
I recently found out that she is a distant cousin of mine! I feel so happy to know I was related to such a classy and beautiful woman. She also passed a day before my birthday.
This channel is one of the most unique tribute vehicles for folks who pass on that there is. It’s a window to the past for the next generation to see old Hollywood, the old sports and music worlds and more. What a great lady and very cool a young Dave got a chance to interact with her.
She was wonderful. I particularly remember her in that amazing Italian film "That Splendid November". Everything in it is so different from modern movies, especially the depiction of incest.
Some people age more "gracefully" than others I guess. Plus, she may have had a little cosmetic surgery, but maybe the Italian plastic surgeons are better at it than the ones here in the states, lol.
@@leebrock4783 Having wealth also affords you a life of leisure, more options for potential lower stress and of course eating and living a more healthy lifestyle. All things that age you more slowly.
@FauxReal True for many people, but wealth can increase stress for others. Prolly depends on the individual and the circumstances. Either way, she was definitely a "spicy meatball", lol.
@@leebrock4783 it's 1987, plastic surgery was only being done by the extremely vain ... No one in their senior years did it then.... She never had cosmetic surgery...
I didn't know Gina passed away. I didn't see it on the nightly news, hard to believe it wasn't reported. She was very famous for several decades and as stated here was mentioned as a character or mentioned on The Simpson's, the Flintstones, Gilligan's Island and other TV shows.
Gina Lollobrigida definitely is one of the most beautiful women in the entire world. This ITALIAN beauty has probably stolen so many hearts. I know she has captured mine. Dave wants to marry her like so many other men would love to do but never got the opportunity to do so. She's an Italian bombshell. Whew! Whoa baybee!
I hope whoever posts these videos in such a timely fashion has some semblance of a life. I never saw Gina in a sit down interview. This was entertainingly funny! Thanks for posting this.
"Gina" Lollobrigida (4 July 1927 - 16 January 2023) was 59 and looked fantastic at the time of this interview in early 1987. She was a class act to put up with Letterman's antics, and I would have liked to be there when she was 'giving it back to Bogart' in Italian!
Never seen Letterman so uncomfortable and off his game. She's recounting a fist fight between Truman Capote and Humphrey Bogart where Capote won and Letterman let's it fly away. He must despise this clip.
Gina looks here so nice.All sparkly in a dress and a hair accessory.With sparkly earrings to boot.She here looks so beautiful for an interview.I miss her quite.

Seeing her da a film with Sean Connery and Hitchcock directing.. I don’t remember the name of the flick… but she was great along with Sean Connery….this is about 1963…1964.. Too bad she is gone…. God Bless her…

What a knockout!! And she was almost 60 here!!
RIP magnifica signora!
Hai ragione.
A very sweet and endearing woman, she was the complete package. There will never be another Gina Lollobrigida. RIP beautiful lady.
Class act and full of life she was! She was also so intelligent and witty ! RIP lady.
Прекрасна и умная.
Class and beauty. Rest in Peace lovely lady.

I have always loved her....her passing still wrenching my heart....
Beautiful, beautiful woman!

She was so gorgeous. I remember watching her in movies and on tv as when I was was a kid, she just took your breath away.
Brava!🎉

Dave scored a big one. Didn't think Gina did any talk shows. She was total class.
Una buona economista occhio per gli affari direi
She did Desert Island Discs. Perhaps you can find it.
Classy, well spoken in English!, more gorgeous than most women in their 60s, and those eyes. wow

Where's Belinda Carlisle?🤔
Don Giller started that 😖
@@hobbygamer6220 he did indeed. And is a part of things still.
Unique stands alone. I don't want to have to tell you again 🥺
She was the queen of beauty in my book 🌺❤️❤️❤️❤️
I was named after her!
I was too!
❤
La más bella de las actrices italianas. Gran actriz y gran artista. Desde España ciao Gina. R.I.P ❤❤❤
Amazing lady. ❤️🙏🙏🙏RIP
TRADUCIL EN ESPAÑOL
She was so beautiful and intelligent. I saw her film Come September. I am a great fan of her.
She was 60 years old in 1987. RIP Signora Lollobrigida🌷🥀🌹
Another great lady gone! I remember her as beautiful, classy & talented!
Dave & Gina- a fantastic combo!
Let´s be honest please, he was totally out of his depth in her company
@@Gerard_2024 Loved the oddball aspect of the pairing, and it appeared they liked each other and had fun.
She was wonderful. I particularly remember her in that amazing Italian film "That Splendid November". Everything in it is so different from modern movies, especially the depiction of incest.
Hard to believe she was 59 in this ... RIP ...

Great Ginaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!!!!!WONDERFUL!!!!.....VIVA L'ITALIA!!!!
R. I. P
Gina ❤ 🙏.
She was so poised and she could handle Dave just fine
And Bogie, too, apparently.
She was so big back in the day that there was a character based on her on the Flintstones , Gina Loadabricks.
GRANDE DONNA GRAZIE I LOVE YOU

Of course not, she's not black or other minority.
Never knew much about her, but now I see the intrigue! She was wonderfully wonderful
What A Fantastic Memory!
Thank You For Sharing!! ⭐️⭐️
RIP The Late Great Gina

Gina died yesterday. The world is a less beautiful, less graceful place. Rest in peace Gina.
David was in love…😂
I hope whoever posts these videos in such a timely fashion has some semblance of a life. I never saw Gina in a sit down interview. This was entertainingly funny! Thanks for posting this.
RIP Gina 🙏
She just left at 95 , What a life ... R.i.P
Dang I'm afraid one day I'm gonna click on a David Letterman video and be on it and find out I've died.
She really had a great spirit. Just a few months ago, she ran for senator in our elections, at the age of 95...😉 Not elected, obviously.
The most beautiful woman in the world
Yes, voted as such.
❤️just love her ❤️lovely Lady ❤️
Adorabile ❤️
She was beautiful inside and out. I her Love movie Crossed Swords 1954 with Errol flynn it was good movie I enjoy it.
What a beautiful classy woman.
She still looks stunning in her fifties. She is truly another level of beauty.
She's 59 years old here going on 60.
I "almost" met her once. she was about 10 feet away sitting in a restaurant with Peter Graves, Tony Curtis, and Goldie Hawn.
Her stories are great! The Bogart-Capote-Huston fight club would make a great movie. Dave would have keeled over is she said yes to the proposal.
She was so Beautiful❤❤❤😘
Very classy lady.
Class act.
"Gina" Lollobrigida (4 July 1927 - 16 January 2023) was 59 and looked fantastic at the time of this interview in early 1987. She was a class act to put up with Letterman's antics, and I would have liked to be there when she was 'giving it back to Bogart' in Italian!
A fantastic lady
Настоящая. Легенда.
Люблю. Джину.
The Legend Lollobrigida 💜
class act
RIP Gina
Gina Lollobrigida 💞💞💞💞
wonderful
GRANDE GINA
I love ❤️ Letterman and his antics of putting people on the spot!!! I love it. 😂 Letterman was the best
Ma la lollo Era sempre la prima
Rest in Peace beautiful Gina 😢
Just found out she passed. I started watching this and the Googled her as I was trying to guess her age on that show.
Absolutely a magnificent woman
MITICA GINA
Hard to believe Dave was a single man for so many years. I mean, with THAT kind of flirting.....
He played around a LOT and was accused of harassment MANY times
Gina Letterman? Just doesn't have that "thing." RIP Ms. Lollobrigida.
I loved her on Falcon Crest
Fabulous ❤️
Never seen Letterman so uncomfortable and off his game. She's recounting a fist fight between Truman Capote and Humphrey Bogart where Capote won and Letterman let's it fly away. He must despise this clip.
Letterman came across as a total amateur in this interview...
Mozzafiato.
Il. Mio. Ricordo da bimbo quando interpreto' la fata turchina nel film Pinocchio 1972

Didnt Al on Happy Days always sing of her ?
6:21 Yul Brenner creep shotting on set!
love ya dave but you should have been kinder...still my hero.
I never knew she was a real person, lol. Only remember her being talked about on the Beverly Hillbillies :-)
I don't remember her on The Beverly Hillbillies, but I do remember her on the Flintstones. Season 3, Episode 17.
...and on Gilligan's Island.
Same here! I think there were references to her in a lot of old comedic shows.
@@last808 Yes many shows, I heard her name mentioned on Sanford&son
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH On the Flintstones she was called Gina Lolabrickida LOL
Ha segnato un epoca
Hard to believe she’s 60 here
Beautiful actress
The way she talks reminds me of Salma Hayek.
She was so beautiful I always wanted to look like her.
Letterman is eligible bachelor.
Che bellazza...
Seeing her da a film with Sean Connery and Hitchcock directing.. I don’t remember the name of the flick… but she was great along with Sean Connery….this is about 1963…1964..
Too bad she is gone….
God Bless her…
the movie was Woman of Straw, but the director wasn't Hitchcock.
On the Flintstones, her name Lolabrickada
Mama mia!
❤

Definitely has fake eyelashes - could easily be called spiders.
I agree class personified
Naturally so beautiful
I am sad but she lived a long life
She was from the Golden Age of Cinema

Bella
Оказывается, что Ф. Кастро не женился, так как не встретил такую как Джину.
wow ... didn't realize, that Gina died Jan 16, 2023 ...
la femminilità per antonomasia!
