Hi Everyone
Can anyone tell me if there is any copies of the Barbara Walters interview with the Duke out there? I was a bit to young to remember the interview and would love to see it again.
Did Walters ever put out a Best Of Collection?
Can anyone help?
CHEERS!:beer:

Download is a dirty word on library computers. Thanks for the picture you posted though.

That was a great interview. I like how it ended.

Good to see the links including the interview with Barbara Walters. Love to have a copy of the whole interview.

Cheers :cool:

I watched the clip... I sure would like to see the whole interview. Sounds like me when he says about not caring what people think when he speaks out. I spoke at an Appeals Board meeting last Wednesday night and made front page news the next day, above the fold. If any of you know what that term means.

bove the fold. If any of you know what that term means.

Ah yes I am quite familiar with that term.

Yeah! A lot of advertisers would request such a position during my years with the newspaper!
Cheers - Jay:beer:

I'm talking front page... I've never seen ads on the front page above or below the fold, at least not in our newspaper. I'll just say, I got a lot of phone calls and email after that little bit. Darn reporter...

Speaking Barbara... did anyone see the story on Walter Cronkite the other nite? His 90th birthday. They even mentioned John Wayne.

Good on ya Dakota! Give 'em hell. :wink_smile:

Thanks for the download Kevin!

. . . and made front page news the next day, above the fold. If any of you know what that term means.
I bet our good buddy Jay J Foraker knows . . . and I have a pretty good idea what it means myself (top of the page, above the fold line - BIG news!!) Way to go, DS!

Quite an interesting interview, I would like to see the whole thing sometime. John Wayne died five years before I was born but he is still on TV every week. It's a shame though, you could tell how ill he was that day.

Hey guys, have a look here [Only registered and activated users can see links] You'll find a better copy of the John Wayne interview portion of the Barbara Walters Legends special.

I created a John Wayne group over at SkyeCast.com

Senta, you should be able to view it at Skyecast.

hello Kevin

and thanks! I am trying as you know, to get a bit more technical to share some of the stuff I have.

So Thanks again for your help with that also.

Elly

Oh my gosh - I almost started crying while watching this interview clip. And, I would have loved to have been in the wings when it was over to inform Mr. Wayne that he was absolutely a very attractive 71 year young man! hubba hubba....thanks for the link.:wink:

Did he ever have any cosmetic surgery?

Senta, you should be able to view it at Skyecast.

Yes, I do. It was terrific. Thanks a lot.

Because GT12Pack is so gracious, we now have the complete interview audio. I have included it below, but the quality is not the best, as it was pulled from a cassette tape, but I did my best to clean it up.

I watched a program once on one of the cable channels called hollywood knives. Pilar was on there and said that JW had surgery to remove his neck jowls.

Thank you too Kevin for hosting it.

GT12Pack - a man after my own heart. I would gladly share anything in my collection with everyone and hope we can organise more of it.

Elly

Hi Gt and Kevin,

Thanks to you both,
for making this gem available to us

Hi Elly

Yes, I heard that John Wayne had some kind of cosmetic work done on his face. I think it might have been early 1970's. If you look at him in Rio Lobo he looks incredibly young for and man in his sixties.


Mike

Gt and Kevin,
Great Job on putting the interview up for all of us to see and hear Again !
:closedeyes:
That was Duke all the way, and the way He talked when He was not following a Script. He would always Pause and Think about what He way going to Say before He Said It !
:wink_smile:

Thanks very much, GT and Kevin. That's what I love about this board. Everyone sharing information and knowledge. It would be neat if there can be a way to share your audios with the board, Elly. You are so kind to offer. You're contribution to this board is so appreciated by us.

Mark

Argh, I can't hear anything either. The libray is supposed to have headphones but this one im at does not. grrrr.

Thanks GT for getting this to Kevin for placing here though. I reckon one of these months, i'll get to here it here too ;-))

Thanks for the complete interview gt and Kevin. As much as I liked hearing this, I wish someone or myself could find the video to go along with it.

You're right Mike, he did look young for a man who was nearly 63 in Rio Lobo (although I did think he looked somewhat ill in that film).

Is it just me, or did Duke look younger in The War Wagon than he had in El Dorado?

In the late 1960s Duke had cosmetic work done around His Eyes to get rid of all the Lines that He was getting around His Eyes.
:glare:
Duke was Not At All Happy about the fact that He ended up with 2 Black Eyes, and Wore Big Dark Glasses for about 2 Weeks !
:shades_smile:
Duke was a People Person and Did Not like Hidding Out for those 2 Weeks !!!
:yeaahh:

hi

I have 2 copies on DVD. In fact I have posted a list of everything I have ( and am looking for) on this board. I would be willing to trade a copy.

We've been pretty busy the past couple of days, and just came upon this. We want to join the others in thanking Kevin and gt for making this interview available to us!

What a treasure!

Wow! I really loved what he said about speaking his mind, and to h*** with the liberal media. I think it was funny that Barbara Walters thought he should keep things to himself because of how influential he might be. Look at all the Hollywierd stars nowadays who think they SHOULD speak out because of their 'influence.'

But sad to see him so thin, and know that shortly after this interview, he was gone . . . :cry2:.

Mrs. C :angel1:

I love it when Duke says; "I am me, just me." When he takes a pot shot at Walters saying God is a She, for Duke always said He when he ever mentioned any reference to God.

Mrs. C :angel1: I agree Mrs. C.

He knew his people, the middle class, the hard workers all loved him then and still now.

Nice...

Was that the "complete" interview or the same one that has been around that is only part of the interview.

ej - Thank you so much for posting that! Just reaffirms to me why so many people loved John Wayne and still do!

It's not the complete interview. But if you go here ([Only registered and activated users can see links]), and scroll down a little, you can click on the Barbara Walters interview. It is still not the complete one, but there are definitely some parts that are different - just a little overlap. Worth watching/listening to.

Mrs. C :angel1:

Great for the posts and links. Is there a full version of the Barbara Walters interview available anywhere?

I asked that question a couple years ago. Seems no one really knows. I went as far as searching ABC's website and sent them a email. I never received a response back from them and have since changed my email address. If anyone comes up with the full interview I would love to see it.

The interview is on Barbara Walters Special site but not were you can download it. I need to trick the website to 'want' to let me have it. Hopefully I can get the one from 10 Jan. 1979, at least that is the one there. Duke, Jane Fonda and someone else were interviewed.

Do you have link to her site?

Thanks

The site is the Barbara Walter Special on ABC, the search squirrel finds the file or video in this case. Usually a website has a portal open, but no matter what I try I can't get to it. The file directory if search able usually can be linked too.

The third person interviewed on the January 10 1979 show was Carroll O'Connor.

I am also proud to say that I was the person who had this actual show listed on the Internet Movie Database--I was flabbergasted that ABC (or anyone else for that matter) had not included this landmark episode of this series as it was Duke's final interview.

His very last appearance was at the Oscars that year, but his last new credit was released the following year, 1980--an new interview done for the Kevin Brownlow mini-series "Hollywood" was the Duke's true last credit, in which he speaks of working in the last days of the silent era.

It is a terrific series--one can still buy it on vhs, but I reckon it will never be released on dvd as due to rights clearances to films and music used in the series (it would now probably cost millions to pay off the rights holders these days, certainly not back in 1980) and as it is such a great series, I'm glad this was the Duke's last credit as it was most fitting.

Brian,

Can you give a little more information about buying the Hollywood mini-series on VHS? I had trouble finding it, but you certainly make it sound worth having.

GOOD job, to get it listed on IMDb among Duke's credits!

Chester :newyear:

I think that You Real John Wayne Fans would like to look at the Barbara Walters Interveiw Again, that I think it was the Last Interveiw before Duke's Passing ?

And Below is a Little More on The Barbara Walters Interveiw With Duke !

Hey Chilibill I dont know if anyone else had problem or if you changed the website it is linked to but the above interview link gave me a cannot display page. I would be interested in seeing the interview if you wouldnt mind reposting it or directing me to it.
Thanks

Hello Chester--my apologies for the delay in my reply to your request (6 months!?)

The entire series came out on HBO Home Video as a 13 volume vhs set--I just checked Amazon and this set is now very expensive.

I know the entire series was about to be released on dvd around 2003 when plans to release it were dropped very suddenly--when someone asked Kevin Brownlow who made the documentary what happened, it seems that everyone who had clips in the series now wanted to be paid for them.

I remember Duke spoke about his early days in Hollywood and gave a heartfelt tribute to the work of one of his idols, Harry Carey--he spoke of how he got to know Harry and Olive (she was also interviewed for the show) and how he made an indirect tribute to Harry in the final scene from "The Searchers" (which was included in the show....and most likely, Warners would like some reembursement if this show with this scene ever appears again!)

Hello Chester--my apologies for the delay in my reply to your request (6 months!?)
Hey, Brian, no worries! I have had the same thing happen to me before!

Thanks for following up, and letting me know what's up with this.

I guess I'll just have to keep my eyes open.

Chester :newyear:

Hi Bill

The same thing happened to me when I clicked on to your link, guess there'e a gremlin somewhere.
