    She's so unaffected by her star status. i think she makes people feel so comfortable and relaxed. if we had been around the same age, to have some of the same world historical life experiences, she would have been a blast to hang out with.. I really loved her in Murder By Death. She looked gorgeous and her comedic performance was so funny.

    These interviews are delightful to watch: calm, measured, informative, apparently honest with no garish lights, no hideous screens always on and dipicting scenes from the movies they're talking about, no noisy, cackling audience inserting sound and interrupting the conversation and no stupid, corny, foul innuendos to try to embarass the guest or make the host seem smart. Not giggly, greedy for slander or aggrandizing.
    It's just straightforward and refined.

      Whats 'disturbing' about it?

Left folk smoke cigarettes, they would be a lot more happier - and yes, I am a smoker - I will quit when I want to, I admire the old days, scenes like this when interviewees could smoke on film.
