Dick asked Garbo to identify a vegetable

[@richardmcleod5967]

It would have been amazing had Dick Cavett gotten Greta Garbo to actually be a guest on his show, but such was not to happen. Garbo did maintain a great beauty (even in her old years), and glad Dick Cavett verified this during the interview with Charlie Rose as so many people like to say otherwise. "The face was all there".

[@raptorfromthe6ix833]

She never did a interview or made a public appearance?

[@andersvilmoskoves8173]

There are phone interviews on KZbin.

[@Hudpix16]

@@raptorfromthe6ix833probably not, I’ve never seen one. She did some while she was working as an actress but after that never. Not even public appearances. She was very elusive and private. She didn’t realize that made people more interested in her life.

[@сиднипрескотт-щ3л]

​@@Hudpix16I admire that Greta was never an attention whore, she didn't like celebrities, show business and stuff like that

[@Hudpix16]

@@andersvilmoskoves8173 those were not real interviews, she did not realize she was being recorded and did not consent to it. Very low for whoever did it.

[@Hudpix16]

Garbo would have never agreed, it would have been nice but she was never going to do it. She was too private and she hated been recognized and being in the public eye.

Charlie Rose only dreams about having 1% of the charm and class Dick Cavett has.

[@bijouxzane]

Grew up with Dick Cavett. He was an awesome host 2 his guests. He really let them be themselves...& got the best from them.

Bijoux Zane i really loved him and his show.

Dick I really miss you alot.

WE all know Hepburn's "secret" now. I wonder if she could have ever come out.

[@akrenwinkle]

No, not everybody does. Financially, certainly she could have, but there were considerations far more important, especially people born at or near the beginning of the 20th century.

[@mcgurkryans]

Rose interrupted way too much

[@mikehaight8664]

He always did. Drove me crazy.

[@mariahernandez-garay5599]

NOBODY WOULD HAVE BEEN ABLE TO GET GARBO!!!THAT WASA DREAM!!!

[@hankdavis5342]

I have read everything I can about Garbo . She was no bore …. She was bright, artistic, a great beauty ! I think she was stunning ! She lived in NYC and Switzerland! She knew Aristotle Onassis and traveled on his boat The Christina ! She played tennis with Kate Hepburn . She collected Monet, Renoir , Picasso !! She was worth 52 million at her death! Great investor !

[@thetruthexperiment]

Hahahaha, I love that Cavett’s street clothes are so much more flashy than what he would wear for the show normally. Ascot and giant collars. I wondered why he was dressed so differently for the Hep interview.

[@mariahernandez-garay5599]

GARBO WAS THE ONE AND ONLY!!! UNICA!!

[@JAMESPATTERSON-mk9sr]

I remember that Cavetti story about the brief meeting with Garbo at the veggie stand . On another Cavetti show with guest Groucho Marx , Marx told a brief story about Garbo's feet .

[@karenokeane6461]

Cavett was a great interviewer. Highly underrated.

[@michaelwertzy9808]

Underrated how? He's the reason I didn't watch Carson then! Pax

[@karenokeane6461]

@@michaelwertzy9808 He was underrated by the masses....lost out in ratings with Carson in a major way---was relegated from network tv to PBS, where he was far more successful, to a more esoteric audience.

I misread the title to be "Identify as a vegetable" damn modern times!

I know Hepburn ruffled people’s feathers but gosh darn it.....isn’t she something?? 🤩 fascinating 🙂

i love this man........

[@chrisstone6078]

love the 70s, the actors of that generation, the way dick ran his show, sitting down with them and talking about life, no scripted questions, stars can smoke, have a drink, feel relaxed and open up to just two people chatting.. today the shows are all forced, the stars are forced to appear for PR for the studios, promoting a film or tv show.. but dicks shows, the stars came on just to talk..

[@spectaclereplication]

People also seemed forced irl. So many people are promoting themselves, but dicks shows, the stars came on just to talk..

Rose didn't understand the "everybody crap" line instead of 'everybody clap" so he says oh "everybody cap." How he could be such an adroit interviewer and mess up things like that I'll never know.

I will never understand people's fascination with people who pretend for a living. If Cavett were to interview Greta Garbo what would he ask her? What is it like to have once in a generation beauty? Why do you want to be alone?

[@DiabolicalAngel]

I laughed inanely just from reading your comment.

[@stephanepatinaud1447]

C'est pas Greta garbo en interview c'est Katherine Hepburn...

[@Pie2]

I'm sure that she did come across as a big bore, especially at parties... she didn't want random people talking to her all the time just because she was "Garbo" ... That was her tactic, I just know it.
