Farrah Fawcett's first Late Show appearance, here in better video quality than previous uploads. Plus Dave's show close with bumped guest Craig Kilborn.
I know what you mean... but only from the perspective of status quo pressure of having to express yourself like everyone else. Farrah was an iconic beautiful creature, original and unique and that difference should not have expectations to respond in a calculated way.
I played blackjack with her somewhere around 2005-2007 at Tropicana Las Vegas, she was super down to earth and very warm and loving. It's sad what happened
I loved her!!! I was 6 years old in 1976 when her poster became iconic.I watched Charlie's Angels from a child until it ended it's run.She was beautiful and a very talented actress ❤️ RIP!!!
I was 10 in '76, and I adored her too. It had nothing to do with her body. It was who she was before she got involved with Ryan. She had a magical charisma. Unfortunately, it doesn't really translate here. She does seem very scattered, and David's making the most of it.
So sad she died so horrifically. Cancer doesn't discriminate. You can be the homely soap opera watching welfare mama or a beautiful Hollywood star. Makes no difference to cancer. And it's become an epidemic. The way to deak with cancer is to prevent it to begin with.
@@wandasewell4501 - Considering the overall body language, hands movement, tone of the voice, eyes movement, and multiple other things that are visible...? Definitely a mess. Just trying to keep it together, partly her being a pro, and being aware of the issue. But a mess underneath. As for having fun? Part of her maybe, but she knew that this is not normal. Hence trying to keep everything together. Quite visible behavior to any investigator, familiar with a body language, or a pro psychologist/psychiatrist. The signs are there, and you cannot make them more obvious (not during TV interviews, unless you go for somebody like Chris Farley - when it was obvious, even for blind people, that he was high during some of his interviews). edit: spelling/grammar
This seemed very Marilyn Monroe like. She was a beautiful and smart woman and she was struggling at this point. She was fun to watch and I admired her greatly for fighting Hollywood to be taken seriously as an actress. She was extremely creative and a very talented artist.
it’s kind of surprising to see how everyone is talking about how funny this is to watch, how much they love her etc…. people get a grip. she was a great person, but this is sad to see
You shouldn't be. These are fans just paying tribute to a beloved icon. Yes, she's a bit out of sorts in this video, but most people are just choosing to remember the best parts of her. A clever, funny, witty, playful person who endeared herself to the masses.
@@leswehman11 not at all. You don't act like that on coke. Besides she explained she was tired, had travelled and took very little sleep, and was very busy promoting so she went out and had fun. She was promoting Playboy not the National Geographics she later said.
@@Jablome333 - at that time? Nah. There were much more available substances to rich people at that time, and she was alrady familiar with some of them before...
@@kevinbergin9971 No, it is one of Farrah's early abstract paintings before she became "famous". She passed it on after keeping it for many years. She was a strong and wonderful woman.
Paul was right, she was fabulous. You can tell she wasn't doing too well here, it's still impossible not to love her captivating mix of attractiveness, girlish enthusiasm and self-effacement.
So true. None of this takes a thing away from her charm, intelligence and we loved her. Hollywood messed her up and it took many a sweet lovely woman and did it to them too
Moxie Pops Your comment is the only one that makes sense to me. All the others commenting think it was great. The woman was out of her skull and that crowd was laughing at her, not with her.
She was a very special Lady but why isn't anyone talking about how thin she was here. This poor lady was skin and bones. Look at her arms. You can literally see her shoulder joints! I hate that she suffered in life. She gave so much of herself.
@mediascribble - fame and fortune, and... drugs. A classic story from entertainment industry (movies, TV screen, fashion, sport, music business and so on). Applicable for anything related to entertainment since 1930s... or probably even before that. Edit: spelling
I loved/love Farrah, still have that famous poster! She was truly underrated as an actress. But, on this particular evening... Somebody definitely got into the 'shrooms! 👀
I watched this live, by myself.....I kept thinking, is it me or is she a little high...BUT I must say, she was an excellent actor....RIP Farrah Fawcett You were amazing !
I was wondering the same thing. Maybe a prescription medication for anxiety/panic. Though I never knew she had any nerivos condition. She was certainly beautiful and a fantastic actress. Not given the credit that was due. Still hard to believe she's not here. RIP 💙
I agree, she was doing a great job working the crowd. And funny as hell too, I just melted when she shook her head and rolled her eyes ! What a stunning beauty ! We Love you Farrah !
@@ws678ta well said my friend and what a sense of humor. She had me laughing out loud. And she is always put together too! Steve just wanted to share with you and I am too a big fan of Farrah Fawcett's since Charlie's Angel's.
Beautiful Farrah Beautiful smile , I still remember that morning she passed than Michael Jackson later in the day & took away all the attention from Farrah . Farrah your are a beautiful shining star in my eyes RIP Angel
When Farrah died she met St. Peter at the gates of heaven and he told her that there was a tradition in heaven that people who have been special in their lives are granted one wish before entering and since she had been such a wonderful person on Earth she had been granted a wish. Farrah thought for a moment and said, "I wish for all the children in the world to be safe." An hour later Michael Jackson was dead.
David Letterman is always funny but I tell you this one was Farrah fawcett was the funniest I could not stop laughing. Farrah fawcett's more dingy then I thought she was I can imagine she was very nervous very relaxing to have David Letterman he's so he kept the humor going.
She looks thin and seems to be on medication for something. Dave is making the best of it and he's doing it well. Sad she went through cancer and lost. She was a pretty lady.
Poor lady, not very kind of the host to let her go on air and make fun of her in front of the audience . 😢 However she still looked beautiful😊 and with good vibes...
Agree 💯%.. and very rude, mentioning the 12-step program. Sad, that her management let her go on the show in that state - and very bad behaviour by Letterman, imo
I love Farrah show. I show I invented. With card board and pictures glued on she was my all. When Michael Jackson passed away they say it overshadowed Farrah but I'm sorry. To me it was Al about Farrah. Rip both
She was high. Her second appearance she mentioned it. Context - Farrah never was on Letterman before this appearance. Had been a sex symbol her whole adult life and here she is, at 50 years old promoting a Playboy magazine where she has a nude pictorial. Obviously she needed something to get her through the segment. She isn’t the only celebrity to get high before a talk show appearance. Happened on Carson, Leno and O’Brien multiple times with various guests from what I remember. Letterman also had his share of “high” on life celebrity guests. Look up Harmony Korine who got banned after several strange appearances.
I heard from an interview with her college sweetheart, who remained in contact with her through the years and reconnected with each other in 1998. He said that with this interview, she was going through a great deal of stress with her son and some other projects. Thus, trying to be ditzy, which she really isn't. A defense mechanism
Classic defense mechanism. Exaggerated ditzy bit to cover the sadness that was enveloping her for the last several years. She looked truly gorgeous here but it's sad to know she was hurting so deeply and that things only got worse for her. Dave knew what he was doing - ratings at his guest's expense. He'd happily hand you extra rope to hang yourself. So different from Johnny Carson, not a gentleman...Cher was right about his character. But his ratings went off the chart when "What's wrong with Farrah?" made headlines the next day. She'd had a Xanax and some tequila, no food. I can't really blame her. So glad we have these interviews to remember Farrah. Check out the Barbara Walters interview in her home that was later destroyed in the 1994 quake.
Ryan O'Neil said she thought it would be funny to play a ditzy blonde Playboy bunny to promote her magazine spread. I remember watching this. 10:47 one of the best moments in TV history lol She felt bad when people made fun of her though.
I would rank this high in the top ten most memorable interviews just behind the Madonna one but not even close to the #1 Andy Kaufman and Jerry Lawler event.😂
Everytime i see this interview, i think it is so sad.
I know what you mean... but only from the perspective of status quo pressure of having to express yourself like everyone else. Farrah was an iconic beautiful creature, original and unique and that difference should not have expectations to respond in a calculated way.
I played blackjack with her somewhere around 2005-2007 at Tropicana Las Vegas, she was super down to earth and very warm and loving. It's sad what happened
Sadly you were around her during the period between her mom's death and her cancer diagnosis.

I miss Farrah. She was as sweet as she was beautiful. Her talent was so underestimated. I pray she is resting peacefully.
She?
So sad she died so horrifically. Cancer doesn't discriminate. You can be the homely soap opera watching welfare mama or a beautiful Hollywood star. Makes no difference to cancer. And it's become an epidemic. The way to deak with cancer is to prevent it to begin with.
I always enjoyed watching Letterman interacting with Terri Gar

Bless her heart. This was absolutely hysterical. I miss Letterman. I miss Farrah too. This is CLASSIC.
She was having fun and funny.
Differently not a mess.

edit: spelling/grammar
Aw whether high or just having an off day, she was very cute and not stuck up at all.
How high is too high? This high.
She has a very similar innocence and genuineness and vocal tones to Michael Jackson. Both sweet souls.
This is both funny and sad at the same time.
Oh well she s having fun
This seemed very Marilyn Monroe like. She was a beautiful and smart woman and she was struggling at this point. She was fun to watch and I admired her greatly for fighting Hollywood to be taken seriously as an actress. She was extremely creative and a very talented artist.

I said the same thing..Marilyn monroe
she was MK Ultra sex kitten programmed
@@Potaville mtf?
She does not look healthy.
She was looking great in this interview and feeling confident.
I never thought this interview was a mess.
Me either.
Yeah, if she was at her best here, i'd hate to see her anywhere else.
High as a kite….
@@marti220 and dumb as a rock.
Yes,she was gracious and charming, unlike Letterman!
This is painful to watch, why didn’t he handle that kindly instead of exploiting the situation ? Rip dear lady 😢
One of the funniest interviews in Letterman history. Rest in peace, Farrah. You are missed.
VERY X
Farrah seems high AF
no she's not
it’s kind of surprising to see how everyone is talking about how funny this is to watch, how much they love her etc…. people get a grip. she was a great person, but this is sad to see

@fdakis A bit?? She tweekin her ass off im not hating beautiful woman but ya I never knew she messed with drugs or anything like that.
Poor Farrah , I feel so sorry for her. They’re all laughing at her 😢
Letterman took advantage of her vulnerability.
Yeah! They are
I know!! I’m wondering if she was under the influence of drugs? I read a comment that said she was using cocaine
I was thinking weed. @@leswehman11

I was fortunate to have been gifted her painting and it is still one of my most cherished items. We miss you Farrah.
Andy Warhol's painting?

Bollox she was not on drugs
Julia Mottram - right, she may have been on one drug: Cocaine.
@@juliamottram9914 Yeah.. Just like the pope doesn't like little boys.
She was so thin too. None of this was good, just sad.

Look at Charlie’s Angels. She was never curvy or voluptuous. Thin and athletic. Probably lost weight for the Playboy session.
So cruel...so belittle
Her biggest mistake was leaving Lee Majors and getting with Ryan O'Neal.
This is perfection . So much more clarity . Thank you !
BRADY MCGUIRE Perfection? she made an ass of herself. LOL
I literally can't figure Farrah out. Especially at this stage of her life.
There will never be another interviewer like Dave. He's so quick witted and can handle any situation
He was always my favorite late night host. No one measures up to his great, accepting of all, personality.🥰
I remember that interview..it was so sad the way she looked so out of it
This was sad but she overcame this. She was an icon. Rest in peace.
I just watched her on Johnny in 1987, and now here in 1997. Two different people practically. What happened in those ten years?
@mediascribble - fame and fortune, and... drugs.

She was so beautiful and adorable and had an innocence about her
That may have something to do with the fact she was bombed out of her mind lol

She was funny and very smart, cute and very interesting.😻
@@sandravance8270Also very WIFTY....😅

@@alswearengen6427 lol. As in they handle situations
She looks so lovely
He keeps that studio chilly on a good night
The audience sure got their money's worth that night, memorable.
It looks like she was high on weed and perhaps had a drink. She's a sweetheart may she rest in peace❤
So hard to watch!
SO HARD... TO Remember her like THAT....
So sad. She's obviously on something. Like Britney.. We are seeing a pattern now.
She was AWESOME and so beautiful and talented!! She was very funny here with dave
Poor Farrah. God she was a sweetheart. Our generations Marilyn Monroe.
Both Men!
Managers should never let her go on. She is so beautiful and so sweet and a really good actress
We were in the studio audience for this show with John Fogerty as the musical guest. What a great show and time and in NYC.
Please post proof pronto, pics preferred
Did the audience do a pole, on what she was on? lol
Knowing Farrah in that era, I'm betting she's nude under the dress...
@@Maverick734 it’s Poll - not pole - lol - funny not funny anymore
This makes me want a joint and box of wine.
She was so adorable.😊
There will never be another Farrah !
There is NO SPACE between the last letter in a sentence and the exclamation mark! Jesus, go back to school and learn something!
Just don't do drugs, kids, don't do drugs.

Loved Farrah and she left this planet way to soon. She had many demons however and was addicted to cocaine during this period.
She was great in burning bed but she's not making much sense here. I guess she has to have a script!

She was on drugs
“He tripped on a cable.”
“I don’t blame him!” 🤣🤣🤣
She looks thin and seems to be on medication for something. Dave is making the best of it and he's doing it well. Sad she went through cancer and lost. She was a pretty lady.
She has that very slight Texas accent... beautiful.
sounds like Dolly Parton for sure
My favourite part is when she got distracted at the backdrop 🤣❤️
Pretty sure she dropped her one hit powder bottle. 😒 😤
‘Wow’ 😂😂😂
That moment is what I'm like on ecstasy.

Sad, that her management let her go on the show in that state - and very bad behaviour by Letterman, imo
Funny watching this 25 years later 6/6/22, she's missed
Such a beautiful soul. R.i.p.
a real sweetheart she was!
1:14 the moment when Letterman realizes this is not going to be the smoothest interview.
I love her interviews 😂
She's was so beautiful, so sweet. Wish she was still here. ❤
Like Paul said "She was fabulous!!"
A lot of people have made fun of her...I just feel kind of sorry for her :(
she Wass an MK Ultra'ed programmed sex kitten. I am sure Dave is aware of this and enjoys humiliating people, like the did with Joaquin
If she hadn’t been so damn sweet and cute this segment would not have been one of the most popular on his show.
I won't speculate on her mental state in this interview. Rather, she just seemed like a down to earth, kind-hearted person. Cute as a button.
I love Farrah show. I show I invented. With card board and pictures glued on she was my all. When Michael Jackson passed away they say it overshadowed Farrah but I'm sorry. To me it was Al about Farrah. Rip both
