Ms. Swanson sings so easily, with pretty modulated emotion, most could not do it at her age.

Yes, I agree with many people here. The interviewer wanted made of it pure sensationalism by asking almost all the time about Mrs. Swanson's relationship with Mr. Kennedy. Besides, how rudely judgemental she was. Gloria Swanson had a very rich life regarding a huge diversity of experiences and so many much more interesting and wise questions could have been done to her. She was amazingly patient and polite with journalists. I remember when she gave an interview to Mike Wallace. He was deeply disrespectful to her and she kept her class heroically. She was an amazing woman who deserved to be celebrated not insulted this way. Unbelievable!!

It's hard to get an honest and forthright interview from famous people by being overly polite. When Barbara interviewed Doris Day about her book, Doris answered questions about her past costars as if they were all the nicest people she ever worked with. That is until Barbara had to badger the truth out of her. Finally Doris admitted that Kirk Douglas wasn't so nice. That is when the interview started getting interesting.

Gloria so natural, so romantic. More early "Hollywood" less Kennedy would have been nice.

Barbara Walters is the most overrated TV personality in history. In this interview, equipped only with an ounce of National Enquirer level of decency and a pound of moxy, she badgers, an eledrly woman, one of the most important actresses in the history of cinema, about a love affair. This is the kind of trash with which Walters made a name for herself. She's a shameless, pushy, creep. How else could a mediocre interviewer with a laughable speech impediment have climbed her way to the top of her business? This interview was so beneath Gloria Swanson's dignity -- painful to watch.

Fascinating! The way Gloria Swanson transcended her period as a global megastar of the silent screen is a masterclass in growth and adaptation. She continued to act and for a long time anchored her own rado show. She then moved into advocacy for healthy eating and healthy living, for which her amazing vitality was an object lesson. In this sense she was the very opposite of Normal Desmond, the crazed, Heversham-esque prisoner of her early success. IMHO Barbara Walters and the Kennedy family showed themselves poorly on contrast to the authenticity and pure class of Miss Swanson. Thank you Miss Swanson. Vale!

Love Miss Swanson-A great ICON of our times! She is charming, persuasive, a marker of how to present yourself as a human being. Her performances are unmatched and she should have won the Oscar for Sunset. Unfortunately, Bette Davis came out with "All About Eve" a great, great movie and Judy Holiday won. Still believe the Academy had intense trouble with the choice-so the underdog won. I am not trying to say Holiday did not have some good films-but in this year the competition surpassed her completely. Between Davies and Swanson-OH MY GOSH-the two Golden Gates of Hollywood! It would interesting to have a conversation with one of the chairs of the Academy of that time. I am sure they were tangled with their decision.

+Mike Strawn So true. Judy Holliday has been forgotten for decades, yet 66 years later, we're still talking about Miss Swanson and Miss Davis. They may have lost the award, but they won immortality.

Even though "All About Eve" is my favorite film, I believe Swanson should have won the Oscar as I consider her role the more difficult to have realized so fully and well.

What a jewel. I’ve always loved Gloria Swanson, those gorgeous eyes. We all wish we could be this amazing at 81.

Ooh Ms. Swanson got pissed off..and somebody needs to tell Ms. Smug Kennedy Shriver that the joy Ms. Swanson brought to millions with her art is just as valuable as anything Rose Kennnedy did

Wilford Fraser...hmm...get with all of us when you are watching on TV the person your spouse had an open affair with (you know, your children had met & even though no one told you but the world knew went on vacations with your family) bc you can like an artists work but not defend bad behavior. Like WHY would you condemn the wife who didn't know?!? And being THE WORLD KNEW with Swanson playing into that, the least she should expect is to be asked about it. You are missing the forest for the trees

Ms Shriver could have shown much more class, I read Ms Swanson's book,I found her honesty refreshing,and she was far more fair when talking about Kennedy than most of us would be. It is a great read,and she was a brave woman who made some poor decisions along the way,you might say like the rest of us........................

Rose knew. She also knew Joe was a serial adulterer and Gloria was one of many. She chose to look the other way and enjoy the spoils of wealth and power.

Cannot stand Barbara Walters!!! It is fine to ask a couple of questions about Joe Kennedy since Ms. Swanson wrote about it, but I wanted to know more about her life. Then she touches Ms. Swanson's hand so as to try to calm her down after making her mad. And then she continues to ask her about why she had written her book and about her son. How on earth did this woman Walters, ever get as popular as she was?? She makes me sick!!

My first time watching this video and whoever manages this content.Gloria Swanson could whip as whole bunch of actors of Hollyweird into shape in 2019. What a graceful elegant woman. Wow, 81 years old and looks really good. She really took care of herself, and not in a vain way but you can see she was healthy, alert, and whip sharp. When she said " we weren't death mutes when we were making silent pictures. She was sharp! I watch sunset blvd and was actually frightened. She was good. She can rest easy because she left gems with us today.

Gloria Swanson was the only one out of all the kennedys or Barbara Walters with any grace ,kindness or sincerity

Ah, the overrated Barbara Walters, mangling an interview with Gloria Swanson. At least she didn't ask her what kind of tree she is!

Those ladies are no more,she has more class in her pinky finger than Barbara has in her whole body.

I want to be like Gloria when I grow up! What an amazing lady she was :)

So wonderful to see Miss Swanson. Just saw Glenn Close (again) in Sunset Blvd...and thought of Miss Swanson and all she represented

Barbara Walters was never as good as an interviewer as she gets the credit for. This is a prime example.

Barbara is such a nasty witch! Thx for sharing this video!

I wouldn't be surprised if the Kennedy's paid Barabara to interview Gloria to put her on the spot. It takes two to tango and therefore he was not innocent.

Gloria Swanson! What a class act! Forget Barbara Walters. She should have got an Oscar for “Sunset Boulevard”! What a perfect Lady! People can’t act like her anymore. Or be her. For sure.

To think that she turned down a $1,000,000 per year contract in the 20's(before there was income tax) and moved to a new studio United Airtist..she had balls!

She was not here for Barbara and her bs on that day. She let her have it. Such an amazing beauty

An absolutely beautiful, stunning woman blessed with fantastic genes! A mysterious woman who was complicated and groundbreaking WELL before her time. They do not make them like her anymore!

A classy star, and a beautiful woman. I'm grateful I got to meet and speak with her in the mid-70s on filth avenue, in New York, City.

Gloria left a more lasting legacy than Rose

How unbelievably rude Barbara Walters is even pointing her finger!

So many American interviewers come across as rude and rather stupid - this Barbara Walters character is no exception - Gloria Swanson on the other hand is lovely .still beautiful and oozes class

If I had a wish to be able to choose one from all the dead actors to come back to life, she's the one actress whom I would love to meet.

Yet another gem. Thanks again for all the work sharing!!!

I can't believe Barbara Walters. She is not an interviewer. She is an interrogator. I don't understand why the lady has to put up with it.

Extremely coherent actress. Wonderful woman. Fabulous singing voice.

Gloria looked fabulous! What an American Treasure and shows what healthy living can do. I love her singing....still so youthful...what a life she lived!

@@nicolelabella7287 Gloria admitted, in her book, that the affair was a mistake and she regretted it. She said the same about her abortion. We learn from our mistakes. It takes a really big person to admit he or she was wrong. She came out publicly and honestly shared about the personal things she did wrong. THAT TAKES GUTS AND CLASS. Also, Gloria Swanson made it her mission to try to get people to eat naturally and healthily while completely giving up sugar. She was an inspiration. So, please, just SHUT YOUR MOUTH.

It's very clear this was a botched interview. Walters' attitude and behavior during this interview illustrates how uncomfortable and unfamiliar she is with the subject matter. Swanson did not grant many interviews during her lifetime, so she remained very much a mystery to the public. Walters only knew how to latch onto Joe Kennedy thinking that was enough to capture interest. It wasn't. People don't give a shit about Kennedy. Babs should have asked more questions about the making of Sunset and how Swanson takes such good care of herself, she looks great here at 81. That would've made a much better interview. Walters screwed this one up.

Agreed. She failed to solicit any further 'sensationalist' nonsense since it was already in the book and little to add, yet she tried. Disappointing. There's so many questions people would ask Gloria if they had the chance, she was a hive of knowledge and traversed the burgeoning technological era. Barbara Walters is just dumpster diving. She should of thrown her out 🚮

Gloria Swanson still possessed a wonderful open classic smile that captures a viewers attention.

Gloria Swanson's autobiography is one of the finest and most memorable books I've ever read. (I read it twenty years ago!) She was brilliant. Celebrity talks don't always reveal the genius inherent in individuals. Writing will. This woman revealed events that are indescribable. She talked about going to a special kind of Japanese temple in a special religious sort of park. ( I am remembering this so not every detail is perfect.) - I believe she was in her sixties or older when she went there. The Japanese have this religious park, temple, ritual garden - whatever, for women that have had an abortion can come to. I'm not remembering this right - you must read this book, male or female - but there were sort of crosses with white ribbons tied to them or something. I don't think they were crosses, but whatever. It was something like small posts with white and red ribbons blowing in the wind. She rec'd one of these and knelt on the ground and wept, mourning. The whole chapter was what lead to the end of the book. It was on such a profound statement about not only her life but the value of life in general. - Sorry, my attempt to describe this remarkable book is failed. Imagine where she went and who she knew and what she learned in her magnificent life. Much for all of us to learn. - Shoot, I gotta get it out and read it again!

I've never replied to a comment from so long ago but, I've read many autobiographies and biographies of the old movie stars and I have to agree with you 100% - It is one of the best out there. I read her book back in 1982 and till this day I recommend it to anyone who has an interest in the old Hollywood or just for a life well lived. I share your enthusiasm about "Swanson on Swanson"

10:54 that response and look in her eyes speaks volumes

Thank you very much for this!

Gloria handled herself so classy here. She wasn’t having what Barbara was giving.
