- Опубликовано: 28 июн 2009
- Farrah Fawcett hopped up on [insert substances] during her first appearance on the Late Show with David Letterman talking about a Playboy shoot.
Anyone who has not seen her performance in 'The Burning Bed' please do so, her acting was jawdropping. She was nominated both Emmy and Golden Globe awards for outstanding female lead performance in this movie. I was blown away by her acting ability. It was a great movie because she made it great. The depth of this woman was profound.
She was brilliant in that movie .Extremely talented.❤
She was a good woman, good wife, good mom, etc. A very kind soul. She passed away 2 years after this. If she was medicated she had a reason. So those of you being negative let her RIP. Nobody knew her pain. She was also very nervous. That was just Farrah. She will be dearly missed.
Farrah died twelve years after this appearance, not two.
@@AvecPoesie I was like, "What is she talking about?" ( above )
She wasn’t a good woman! Read what her kids said! All she did was drugs and abuse her kids!

Farrah was so patient, while the audience kept laughing at her. She clearly is not herself and needs some help. Rip sweet, gentle soul.
Farrah is absolutely adorable. Nothing but respect for her.
RIP beautiful angel 😇
Another example of Letterman allowing the audience to devour his guest.
blissfulbaboon: Absolutely! I would protect my guest at any cost! This is the kind of thing that goes for eternity...SO SAD!...
Well maybe that wouldn't have happened if she hadn't arrived on the show too wrecked to put a coherent sentence together or remember what she was about to say.
@@papagreenemusic Correct, someone should've given her a strong coffee or other thing prior to her entrance. Anyway, I get that from an entertainment perspective the show's goals were achieved. Everyone had a great time at her expense...
@@SmartRobot-wc2fb Basically, but she also managed to have fun with it, not horribly fazed by it, flying on something or other!

As a painter who has long lived under the shadow of the "crazy artist" attitude that the vast majority of Middle America have, I watch this video with empathy and understanding for Ms. Fawcett. At several times she makes perfectly valid and important clarifications that the audience and Dave merely laugh off. It is clear that he is whipping the crowd up into mindset of tittering at her nudity, amplified by making fun of the mere idea of her painting with her remarkably beautiful body (if anyone knows any other 50 year old women who look like that covered in paint, please send me her contact info). Letterman, the band, the staff, and the audience behaved liked 10 year old boys hiding in the tree house with their first copy of Playboy. Farrah was NOT drugged. At most, she had a drink or two to stave off nerves. This interview actually reminds me most of what the public did to Marilyn Monroe, trivializing her accomplishments as an actor and her intelligence by projecting the bimbo concept on her.
i have a 50 yr neighbor reminding of farrah
If she is single, can you let me know? :-D
unfortunately...
;-) Always happens with the really good ones!
I think she was likely on medication for her pain due to her cancer. She seems more than mildly intoxicated to me in this interview. No matter what, she was sweet and mostly coherent the majority of the time. Opiod pharmaceuticals can obviously be very intoxicating, and perhaps she needed them to get through the day at that point. Regardless, I agree, Dave, that the staff, band, and audience were disrespectful to Farrah. And I agree that she was a talented actor.
What annoyed me is that throughout this whole interview the audience was laughing at literally anything, so she never had a chance to recover.
She was a sweet soul. High, not high...does it matter? She suffered with her son's drug problems, then died a horrible death. She was an icon of her day...RIP sweet lady
She actually seems really sweet and adorable
That's what I'm thinking. It says drugged and that's how she acts
I find her cute. Letterdude and his audience can be an asshole.
Letterman never protects his guest from aggressive audiences.Cher was right.He is an asshole. Farrah , as high as she was, still handled this heckling crowd with grace.
+blissfulbaboon what do you want him to do evict the people on the left? he was hilarious and I thought Farrah came off good despite being high as shit. Do you perfer scripted interviews where the stars publicist told letterman what to ask and if he goes off script they'll leave?
+JoeyBooey That's what Lou Reed used to do.....if reporter-interviewer asked a question that was not scripted, Lou would blast them, and tell them he isn't answering...
+blissfulbaboon Do you get paid good money to be interviewed while you're high on national television? Then STFU.
Farrah is still beautiful.rip.
yes
I loved her. She was very smart but ditzy and if anyone would have just shut up and listened she made lots of sense.
She CHOSE to be "Ditzy".
I love her laugh. Let's keep it real - she made everyone's night at the studio, including Letterman's.
EXACTLY
Farrah said that she was very nervous during this interview, and not on drugs. She was devastated at all of the hype that came out of all of this. I just watched another interview here with Dave and she acts very similar. Bubbly and kind of scattered and sweet. I prefer to believe her.
elevationnnnnn you are nuts she is high on crack...real fidgety, zonked, & playing with her dress
elevationnnnnn she does seem very nervous
The hell she's not on something!
Yeah right! She’s been in show business for how long? And she is that nervous. First timers aren’t even that damn nervous..she lost her mind here
She's not high on crack, she's slurring her words. She seems to me like she had a few drinks and maybe a couple of Xanax
She made a boring show worth watching she’s adorable
No, in fact Letterman here is really honest and polite (as he is) in helping her through the segment. Of course, at some point he just can't help himself, but you can definitely tell David wasn't expecting Fawcett to put both into this kind of situation. To me, everyone who is saying Letterman capitalizes on this situation ain't watching closely enough. He is undemandable towards Farrah, but then again acts properly and naturally to Fawcett sweetly blundering herself here and there. And you still have to remember - then again it's Letterman, he just IS razor sharp, but that's what he's ever been all about.
Letterman handles it well. Not his fault.
Jano Dorna Dave proves what a real asshole he can be to this great icon who was probably on cancer medication. What a jerk...
I don't think Dave knew, in the beginning of the interview, he asks if she's ok. He noticed she was acting a bit odd, she was loose on her feet before she got to the couch.
robert hatch This was filmed 9 years before she was diagnosed with cancer.
Excellent Asessment!
She reminds me of marilyn monroe
gina888warhol1 Anna Nicole Smith for sure!
*The voice for sure.. & how sweet she's being too!*
That's What she WANTED you to be reminded of.
yeah, I really liked her here. She is being a very good sport. And she is great.
what a beautiful woman inside and out---brought moments of happiness to many
I'm 57 and still love her very much. It makes you look at life and say ower icons are leaving us .but what a wonderful memories thay leave behind 😂🎉❤
I watched this live and thought the audience was ridiculous. They kept it going. David Letterman was really trying to smooth things out so kudos to him. She is so thin at this time in her life. When people are anorexic it affects their thinking. She was probably taking some medication as well. She was on the show June 5, 1997. Fen-phen was in big time use then. No one knew at that time what the dangers of that drug were so everyone was using it. Look up the side effects. Answers everyone questions. I'm so sad for Redmond. I pray he finds his way through addiction and comes out clean on the other side!
She’s just playing something she never did…. “Dumb blonde.” The audience, Dave and crew egged it on. We love and miss you ,Farrah!
Dream on
Wonderfull spirit and very down to earth woman. RIP.
Down to earth? High in the sky you mean😀
So much compassion for her ONLY because she was considered attractive. If she were overweight and/or unattractive I can guarantee there wouldn’t be so many comments of praise and love for her!
Farrah was just so kind and people like Letterman took advantage of her kind nature. Rest in Peace Farrah
+Peace Beuponyou is she dead?
yes, she died of cancer in 2009
+ALwaleed Alsubai She died the same day Michael Jackson died.
She seemed like a nice lady, a lil too skinny, but nice.
Another product of the Hollyweird stereotype.
I don’t mean any harm I just offer some confirmation on why Farrah Fawcett was acting this way. In a recent interview that Rosie O’Donnell gave she confirmed that Farrah Fawcett came on her show, and during a commercial break Rosie, had to tell Farrah Fawcett to wipe her nose because there was white powder visible in her nose. According to Rosie O’Donnell, Farrah Fawcett went to the David Letterman show to do an interview there right after her show. Rosie O’Donnell confirms this in one of her recent interviews. Look it up on RUclips. No harm in this comment. Just offering facts from what Rosie O’Donnell said.
Sorry...she was most definitely under the influence of something...and her poor arms look emaciated. So sad...
Isn't Cocaine "something"?
I think she was so sweet in this interview. She really played along with the audience and Letterman. I think she was really nice and showed more class then anyone on this set. I do think that they did have a comedic bantering back and forth. I do not think she was on anything here like drugs or whatever everyone wants to say she was on! I just think she may have been maybe just a little nervous is all.
Yes I agree. They were sort of tough on her and it looks more like she was a bit self-conscious that’s all.
I think she's charming and hilarious. So what if she's fucked up?
1:10 absolutely brillant comedic performance 2009 LA Times article "If I hear the word incoherent again," she says in exasperation, explaining that she was exhausted, hungry, nervous and embarrassed by the Playboy photos that Letterman showed the audience. During another chat, she says her appearance was a "performance." She watched the tape recently and thinks she was pretty damn funny."
Yes she was up for a role and she got it booked it 📌💯
OF COURSE she CHOSE to perform in this manner! "Embarrassed" by Nude photos of herself ??!! # NO! She CHOSE to exploit her Body and Flaunt her Nudity.
Its maddening the title of this video she doesnt seem drugged or high,she seems nervous, shy, who wouldnt be rip sweet Farrah.
Like everyone else I loved Farrah. RIP my beautiful girl. Guitar Man.
This is so uncomfortable and i think farrah might have been ill at the time and maybe abusing medication or something certainly not funny and the audience just laughing makes this so sad
osaro runner yes but she was still on top of it, imagine how you'd act if you were an icon on letterman's show
I saw a video where she commented on her behavior here and she said that she didn't fall, that she had dropped some lipstick (or something) and the camera caught her picking it up. She also said that she was deliberately trying to be funny by acting "ditsy" during the interview. I still give her kudos, she was brave to the end.
Fox Gluv that's good to hear. i figured she was putting on that act just to make people laugh. She was a fun person. God Bless her.
She looks extremely thin here, sickly thin. She was definitely not in a healthy place here.
+osaro runner You're all talking shit. She was not drugged up, she was really like that. People on drugs show other signs of intoxication together with the tipsy/airy characteristics. There are certain physical peculiarities that chemicals will cause, and that can't be omitted, and she doesn't show any of them.
If Farrah was high, you can't blame her from the DV abuse she sustained from her husband Ryan...Rest in Peace Farrah
This is the closest thing to Marilyn Monroe that I've seen in my lifetime. Marilyn, even though she was incredibly beautiful and sexy, could make you feel sorry for her poor, messed-up life. Every straight man in the world wanted her.
Yes true beauty is magnificent and should be saved at all costs...
She was having a nice time...That's what really matters.
juan rodriguez That's right she was having fun, and she made me laugh. :)
+Michael “Moses” Hammer seriously for ever boring interview nowadays at least I'll remember this one
Seems she was great fun. Bless her.
That lady in the audience who keeps laughing at her is probably an awful awful person
That IS DRUGS, there is no mistaking that.
No matter what. She was adorable!!!!
She was here.
Such a lovely lady.
Anyone who's taken pills or ecstasy or that kinda stuff knows she's high, she just has to be. So fluttering and distracted.
James Jefferson Lol ecstasy doesn’t look like this at all. Like not even close. She’s being ditzy, and maybe tipsy or taken some downers. Definitely not ecstasy.
Ecstasy isnt the kind of drug you take to go on a talk show is it , maybe she's had a bit of Charlie and something to bring her down a bit .
Ecstacy was my guess too. I agree with that
it is definitely ecstasy, the moment she's huffing... it's just so obvious haha
That ain't E.
She's adorable!
Loved Farrah. Beautiful person and great personality. Tatum felt threatened by her.
This is exploitation at its worst. Letterman was acting like a complete prick. Whatever she was doing, she was a beautiful woman and deserved to be treated with some respect. Actually beautiful or not she deserved as a human being, respect.
Thomas Nixon Yes, but keeping in mind he's running a talk show that always maintains a comedic tone to it. Without his comments, she'd be going off on a tangent.
I DO LOVE Letterman! He responds just the right way
Drugs and low self-esteem ruined her. Ryan O'Neal was a wife and child beater, neglecter and abandoner. All three of his kids had awful childhoods, Griffin's ending in a fatal boating accident. Tatum revealed in her autobiography that she and Griffin lived by themselves in a filthy, roach infested apartment as children, getting themselves to school and managing their own lives while their father lived with Fawcett, Redmond and drugs.
Farrah Fawcett was a mess, as evidenced by her long-term involvement with one of Hollywood's most notorious dirtbags. Tragic.
Donna Ann Thanks for sharing
Farrah found it hard to speak because everybody laughed out of fun and then the more she talked she found it harder to explain. Very beautiful and too me like a little angle.
This is what made her an Icon, she was already on meds because she had cancer at this time! Ignorant people!
No she didn't. She was diagnosed in the early 2000's
Exactly, 6 years into the 2000's is early.
***** Michael Jackson oh please They forgot all about Farrah Fawcett cause of That She is Just important as Him
well said.
***** That's more than half way through the decade, not really early..
She seems so frail and vulnerable. I miss her.
Yep my overall feeling is sad for Farah and angry with her manager / agent for allowing her on like that.
+Mark Murphy Yepp, Amen Mark. Her manager should have been ASHAMED of themselves. But, knowing letterman. He Probably sent her Drinks & Possibly Drugs too? Just so he could make FUN of her & get his Ratings UP? Just Saying?? God Bless you "Ms. Farrah Fawcett" & R I P Sweetheart!!
+bill powers Amen, brother. Thanks for being classy...respect.
OMG!!! the most adorable thing!!!...
she was awesome!...
very likable and sweet, couldn't stop laughing in this part 1:10
So hilarious! I couldn't stop laughing. She's so ditzy it's cute. Lol
+Kane 8280 She wasn't ditzy before this interview. I remember I watched it when it originally aired. I was shocked! Intoxicated? Something else? She acted weird on Conan as well
She's Amazing! God love her she's having fun! I'd be drunk if I had to talk to him! Rest in eternal peace beautiful lady!
I think it was very sad to watch. She seemed very sweet, and not ridiculously high. It could just be her personalithy...and she might not be so sharp. Although it was funny, making fun of her was not.
Dave mumbles: "Get into a 12 step program immediately" FN AWESOME!
Wow. I just heard it. 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤦🏾♂️😬
I saw this in real time and did not think she was high - maybe an anti-anxiety med. I wish Paul would have jumped in - she was looking to him for a lifeline multiple times, because Letterman was continuously trying to trip her up. It wasn't as bad as people have made it out to be.
I think this is really sad, shes being made a fool of and she doesnt realise it, unfair to let her go on in this condition......poor Farrah :-(
Farrah was such a gifted actress! I always knew she was a sex symbol and icon because of her great beauty but she really moved me in the burning bed! She brought me to tears! She was also fantastic in extremities and jewel as well! I loved Farrah.
I was high watching this and I fucking died at 1:13 lol
Same bro😂😂☠️
Idc if she's on drugs this is super entertaining
Yes, She is VERY funny. The audience was having a ball.
Dave is hilarious.
she handled that beautifully. i would've been so frustrated by all the interpretations i probably would've started crying
rude interview and chauvinistic way of slick side belittling her .. I get it ...it's late night comedy but he was attempting to reduced her to bimbo status. art major trying to explain her body as art and her art but reduced to "oh you're naked"
She did cry :(
www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/ryan-oneal-farrah-fawcett-book-both-of-us-revelations-318631
I thought it was harmless teasing until he said "get checked into a 12 step programme immediately" I stopped laughing at that point.
I LOVE her. This interview was hysterical and that moment at 1:15!!! I don't know if she was drunk or high or distracted or confused but she was great!!!!
I dont care if she was fucked up, she was beautiful and honest. Will always love her. That interview was a blast to watch and endeared her to me more.
R.I.P. Farrah, I saw her special she did on her cancer experience, very sad, I thought she would be O.K., but it didn't work out that way. luv ya Farrah!
Fun interview. She’s a great sport!
she's awesome!
she was magical, even under the influence - sometimes you can hear the Texan come out of her....
What a sweet lady.
she seemed LOST most of the time but the audience still love her..she was a real STAR back then..back in those days..love
As someone on the other video said, she spoke like that all the time. But even if I didn't know that, I'd never in a million years conclude from this interview that she was under the influence. I see someone gracefully and with full cognition handing all the interruptions being thrown at her.
Wow, you must be pretty ignorant yourself.
Letterman was very professional being put in this situation, he had to roll along with what was going on and he handled it in an awesome way!
RIP to a legend. ❤
I’m not gonna lie, this shit had me dead☠️ but at the same time I felt super bad for her cause she was so nice the whole time
Fast forward to 2017...this behavior is called tweeking.
"...am i taking calls ?...well I am not there..." Farrah Fawcett
I relate
I think a lot of it was the audience laughing at the bands reactions, which we at home couldn’t see.
it's honestly the most degrading thing i've seen. She was such a wonderful actress and to be reduced to ridicule by Letterman is just so sad.
She deserved to be ridiculed. As far as being an actress goes. substitute "barely adequate" for your "wonderful".
Rafael Storm You're obviously not a film buff. And I don't think she deserves this kind of treatment. Save it for someone else.
MisterObjectivity Not a film buff? You clearly know nothing about me! But even a film novice would know that Farrah was basically a television, not movie, personality. That's a fact that can't be disputed.
Hippy(Bboomer) Jealous....of HER? You MUST be kidding, and you still know nothing about me.
Rafael Storm Robert Duvall disputed it. How does you knowledge of acting compare to that of Duvall? The man is in his 80s and is still at the top of his game, and has worked as both an actor and director. His words about Fawcett after her passing were sincere and touching. So please, politely shut the fuck up. PS: even though I generally despise television, if well-written, it can be an adequate outlet for a thespian's talents. A lot of great TV movies were still being made in the 1970s and 1980s.
Man, I miss her. Dave was better than usual. She was so ill but so beautiful.
She wasn't just a pretty face but an amazing actress that was taken far to you g
I felt uncomfortable for her. Not fun watching someone being made fun of. Seemed painfully thin, but still beautiful
I wanna know what she was on, I want some looks fun! Lets face it life straight is boooooring
+Greg Jay she was not drugged up.
***** Fuck you
+Jake Wheeler no, if you had ever tried drugs or been very high you would be able to realize that's what it was, its pretty clear here that her heart was also beating over time. She was not herself ok here no matter how dumb she is
+CzechRiot Wrong! Farrah was quite intelligent and never behaved like that before. Possibly drugs.
Oxycodone
Farrah lived 3 miles away from my family. In corpus Christy Texas. I was just a little boy. But I know a gorgeous woman when I see one even at my tender yrs I'm 50 minutes from her grave I will pay my respect before I move from California
"Is your special an hour long Farrah", "no Dave, it's 58 minutes"... Love her! R.I.P. Farrah!!!
I see a strong chemistry between her and Dave in this interview.
Yes, Farrah is cute and VERY funny. And funny is what is needed on a comedy show. Better than being boring, like, e.g., Katie Holmes on Letterman.
According to a lot of people she was a teetotaler and straight I think she took something to take the edge off and she didn't realize the effect it would have, maybe Xanax IMHO. she still came off as sweet and fun
I think she's fun & lovely. RIP, sweety ..
Please offer me some proof that she was drugged. Letterman and his audience treated her badly and she rose above it - that’s all I see here. She came off better ditsy than she would have fighting back with those rude assholes.
Part II .... chomping at the bit, obviously hoping his guest goes too far. This is what epitomizes late night hosts, until Fallon who is truly funny on his own. Until this decent man, Fallon, the hosts were like this guy. Not funny and using a guest's embarrassing moment to boost ratings. Does anybody else think he could have gone to commercial and encouraged Farrah to come back another time? Maybe it's that I never like any of these hosts, or unless they were alone and without props like famous people they are rooting on to fail. As long as it's on their unfunny show. Ugh
He should have shown a little respect considering Farrah was under the influence. He should have turned things around since he is a pro at giving interviews. He pushed and made her look bad. On Farrah s part,well she should have not been on the air. He played with her, used her to get those ratings and he knew that it would be on headlines.
Its show business, letterman has to remain professional and handle himself in a certain way.
Whoever was with her should not have let her go on. Too bad people take advantage of anothers pain.
You can't just 'no-show' at the last minute on a national talk show... That's also not exactly good for a performer's reputation.
A 50-year-old does not need babysitters to make her decisions for her.
Why place the blame on others when it was her own responsibility & nobody else's to arrive at a national talk show interview in a coherent state? She only made a fool of herself there, no one else did it for her. The whole crowd knew she was wasted, & she was the only one who could have made things go differently, but she had to live with her reckless decision...
"Them's the breaks".
P. S. She was feeling no pain.
It would’ve been nice if he’d shut up for 2 minutes to let her speak
What do you mean.. he wasn't interrupting at all. I mean, spit it out Farrah...
Corkey literally rolling on the floor laughing his butt off!!!!!!
Having re-watched this years after the fact, it's not as bad as I remember. For being on whatever meds, she actually pulled it off much better than others I've seen under similar circumstances. I think she also was simply playing along with the dumb blonde gimmick
Funny thing, too, is that this was right around the time Dave was carrying on his affair with a young assistant that he sometimes featured on the show. Point is, nobody's a saint in this clip, including the host himself.
This is the first time I've seen this interview, and really I don't see why she was ridiculed for it. It just seems the audience was esp. rowdy and giggly, and she's just not used to having to try to win an audience back. She's a little new-age hippie in her personality and unfortunately I think Dave couldn't dig in deep enough to help her get her bearings. May she RIP.
After seeing this , part 1 and 2 , my opinion of her has changed .
She projected joy but actually pain inside due to cancer of the rectum. Pity her.
How on earth she got this disease...
Dave's expressions are amazing funny!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
