I've learned recently that John taught at USC, wrote articles on radio broadcasting and culture in the LA Times and was active in a number of orgs.

Did you know Greg?

@@WildStrawberryFilms I can’t say I knew Greg well, I filmed an interview with him for a documentary in 2007 at his Burbank home - he was getting on then - nice guy. Did you know Greg well?

@@indieshack4476 Greg and I met while doing some low-budget features in Hollywood in the 60s, I was camera and he was sound. He joined up with a partner and they produced a feature called "teaser" which I shot and edited for them. Greg would sometimes invite me to his house, he lived in Hollywood at the time, and while we relaxed and talked movies, like his father the director of films in Mexicon, his mother would make us the most delicious homemade tortillas. I borrowed a car from him when I decided to move to San Francisco, but we stayed in touch for a while. Then I lost contact information for him, as that was pre-cellphone and internet. Greg was a good man and a pleasure to work with.I've got the films I did with him on my IMDB page, like this one for teaser. www.imdb.com/title/tt0128712/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1.

@@indieshack4476 Why did you want to interview Greg?

@@WildStrawberryFilms Very cool!

Спасибо за прекрасное уважение

Very well said. Thank you.

Thanks for the comment. I got to know both of these men as friends, and I call them true pioneers in broadcasting.

Спасибо

The takeway is that she made her appearance to help the Amfar fund raising in spite of her feeble health. That is as inspiring as it gets.

obrigado pelos lindos pensamentos

That is an extremely shallow comment. If your only standard of beauty is youthful good looks, then you should be ashamed of yourself. Her beauty radiates from the very heart of her loving soul. She contributed so much to make other people's lives better, people whose needs were way more difficult than you could imagine, or apparently, care about. . You should live to have the same said of you, but with your nasty attitude I wouldn't hold my breath.

@@WildStrawberryFilms I’m entitled to my opinion, you are not entitled to comment on my comment, I’m aware she has inner beauty but that’s not what I was talking about, outer beauty was my opinion

@@RitaMalikfour As this is my page and my video, I am more than entitled to comment on your ugly opinion. You are here at my permission. I would have removed your comment, but I think others should see what you are.

@@WildStrawberryFilms I’m not ashamed for speaking about outer beauty, if I would have discussed inner beauty then we all must be in the same page, and mind your buisness,

@@RitaMalikfour I am minding my business. It speaks volumes that you are not ashamed. You started with comparing her to Jaba the Hut. You made zero mention of the difficulty she endured to speak on behalf of AMFAR, which she devoted all the latter years of her life to give aid to it. I will mind my business by telling you that that is disgusting and if you had an ounce of any of the humanity exemplified by this great woman, you would indeed be ashamed of yourself.

Those were the days!

The first part of her life was stardom and glamor, but the second part of her life was using that to help thousands of people through AMFAR, people who were generally rejected by the population at large.

Beautifully stated.

There is no way they could have stopped her. She was so passionate and committed and she knew that her addressing the crowd would help raise the millions needed by AMFAR. You cannot stifle a great lady like Elizabeth Taylor.

@@WildStrawberryFilms they exploited her in this moment. It was unneeded. Time and place for everything. She had done nuff already.

@@CountrySing That totally mischaracterizes the situation. She worked tirelessly with Dr. Mathilde Krim for AMFAR. She is the "they" you say exploited her. She was determined to make the fund raiser a success. She was not forced, but rather she over rode everyone's objections. You don't realize how powerful she was even in that moment of frailty. She was a true force of nature.

@@WildStrawberryFilms what date was this in video
