She seems so incredibly authentic that it's impossible not to like her.

Damn right! I couldn't have said it any better.

Rosemary comes off as someone you could sit down and have a real heart to heart with. She seems quite honest with herself and not hiding where she's coming from. I like her and would have loved to have known her. What a genuine lady who survived Hollywood.

A great entertainer and a genuine Lady, there was no maudlin self pity there but a very poignant moment when the interviewer said " You always look so happy?" and her tone of voice as she says "Do I?" She faced down her demons and came back, an inspiration.

Without a doubt one of the greatest singers of all time!!

She is so missed. ❤️

At the beginning, look at that tiny waist! And a power-packed voice, beautiful face, lots of talent, and a great sense of humility. So glad she made it through the bad times and had a good come back.

Such a beautiful lady , thank you for sharing

I absolutely am in love with Ms. Clooney. She was a no-nonsense, tell it like it is type of woman. Wherever you are Ms. Clooney, thank you!

I have been a fan since the 50s heydey but never heard her tell her story.Very sad indeed,but she ended up being a survivor.

love love love her...gorgeous person gorgeous voice

I love this!, I've LOVED Rosemary ever since I was 8 years old, and I still listen to her everyday, I love her laugh through this interview, so 'knowing' and wise about the moments in her life, hard won wisdom, but lived through - I think she survived all! Now, will someone make a big screen biography of this AMAZING woman!, PLEASE, its well past time...the Sondra Locke TV movie was ok, but not long enough or comprehensive enough - and it had one glaring flaw, Tony Orlando as Jose Ferrer, now who came up with that piece of casting?! Does anyone else want a big screen version of her life (done right) as well? Isn't it finally time!?

when I was a little girl I was a member of a Children's Choir in Derry Ireland. We toured America on several occasions and on the 1958 tour we were brought to CBS studio in Hollywood to meet Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney. One of the highlights of my life. We even sang for them.

She's being a little rough on herself; a lot of people who recover from drug addiction gain a lot of weight. It's also likely she was on meds for the mental illness she had suffered, and they can make a person gain weight, too. She was a survivor, and she did it with class and heart.

She's absolutely beautiful...💜

Brilliant interview of a truly wonderful superstar of music.

I'm 19 and I love her! I grew up with white Christmas and after recently watching it again have fallen in love with this incredible performer, she is so wonderful. She looks like Marilyn Monroe...

It was the 1950's;I was a typical(but gay,who led a double life)nerdy teen,all my friends were also teens,but none gay. Somehow,I manage to play the role successfully. My male buddies were all at he "drafting" age. I escaped the draft,as the doctors stamped "rejected",not geniuses of being gay,but discovered I had a heart murder. I slipped into the "gay" life,long term relationships etc.,etc.,! I'm now 85 y.o.,have had a wonderful and full filling life! Everyone in my family knew,and I was never ashamed at admitting to being gay to friends! God has blessed me...

this is wonderful... I've also read her biography and it was amazing but I agree with ThorSmith .. really seeing her talking about her life and her perspective of things coming out of her mouth was really cool! great interview!

Wait, did she just say: “I’ve given up a lot... I don’t want to give up tacos”? 😂😂😂 I want that on a T-shirt!

Drug addiction. Let’s just call it what it is. Its wonderful she got off the drugs and recovered her life!! LOVE U ROSEY. What a lady being so honest!!!

Wonderful lady, tough life.

I love you, Rosemary.

What a beautyful american Icon, we are all so very lucky to have been graced by her beautiful presence.

This is my fav RC interview.

She has the same eyes as George Clooney. Beautiful family.

I adore her. This is a great video. Thank you for sharing with the world,.

it breaks my heart how many of the greatest singers were heavy smokers back then because I can hear the toll it took on their magical voices but I still loved listening to her always

Fascinating woman! Thanks so much for sharing this interview, parsonkrb. I'm a longtime Rosie fan & I've read her autobiography but it was wonderful hearing her story out of her own mouth. I was particularly blown away by the Robert Kennedy footage & the rare photos, including the shot with another legend Sarah Vaughan. I never would've put those 2 together but it makes perfect sense that they would know each other since they both were signed to Columbia records in the early 50's. Thanks again!

CLASSY, CLASSY CLASSY. She had great perspective. Perfect dream dinner would be with Rosemary and Bing. WOW !

I watch and listen while house cleaning or cooking. When “Mandy” comes on, I stop and become Vera Ellen...in my mind. I always wanted to be able to dance like her.

I absolutely adore Rosemary Clooney and always have. I was born and have lived my entire life in Cincinnati OHIO and the Clooneys are a big deal here. Rosie's brother Nick was our local newscaster on channel 12 for many years and I adore him as well. And, by the way, he is George's father. I had the privilege of seeing Rosie live at Riverbend and she was wonderful. I never lost my love or respect for her despite her demons and hardships. I really grieved for her when she passed away.

I always loved her voice. George Clooney's aunt.

She was great in an episode of E.R.

A most rewarding interview with a totally credible person. I loved it. She was of course so great in 'White Christmas' .

She was very enjoyable to watch and listen to....Fought hard to come back...Her 1st husband Jose may have been great in many things, but, as she said he was lousy at fidelity and he couldn't sing if his life depended on it....although he tried and hearing him sing You're just in Love with Rosie you just cringe for him....I hope she and Dante had a much happier life together!

rosemary clooney. quite the singer! listen up.

When she said “ I don’t wanna give up tacos “ I wanted to be like “we could be besties”

She seems very wistful in this interview, the only one I've seen where she touches on her weight gain.

I remember so well, recently had lunch with my sisters ...a and the sisters song fro. White Christmas is one of our favourites.....one of my favorite old singers.....oh sotenderly

She will always be known as my daddy’s “girlfriend “. He loved her voice and loved her persona. By the way, mom was never jealous......she loved her too.

Love Rosie.

She was 64 in this interview.

Diane Sawyer- another beautiful, talented, classy Kentucky woman. 😁

I would love to have this closed captioned

She's a good person. Almost everyone was ruined by those damn pills in her generation. Look at Robert Crumb's childhood, his mother, for example, or Judy Garland.

I'd pay good money to hear her sing stereo instructions. ❤❤❤❤

She has that "it" factor and that voice.

George Clooney is the absolute double of Rosemarys brother Nick.

@@MTknitter22 yeah, he watches his weight.

She was just another successful singer, easy on the ear but unremarkable, until she turned to jazz later in her career, then she became sensational

Sound inaudible

It makes it sound like she hadn't been successful and making records all through the 80's

she is the only main star from white Christmas alive

Many years ago my mother commented kind of wistfully that Rosemary started gaining weight when she was having five kids, and after awhile “she couldn’t hide behind the couch on TV anymore”. So obviously that ruse of trying to cover up her pregnancies didn’t fool her viewers! P.S. My mother had five kids too, so she understood, although she didn’t get fat.

Never would have known her and Miguel were mother and son. Were they estranged? There's next to no media evidence that they were family. I knew him from Blank Check.
