Omgosh !! Absolutely love Sandy Duncan!! She could do another sitcom now, with her wit and timing. Would love for her to do a movie role. All kinds of appreciation for this Lady!!

[@Elizabeth-rp1pi]

Why has nobody created a new show for her? She’s an amazing talent!

[@carmelacristoforo262]

So happy to hear Sandy Duncan is doing so well! She was such a big part of my childhood growing up in the 70s'! Beautiful, talented and wholesome ... she brought such cheer to our generation. Love, love her bigger than life persona. Thanks CBS for letting us have a peak into the life of one of my all time favorite actresses. 😍

[@jeanneratterman]

OMG!!! I saw her on Broadway!!!! She is amazing!!! We were in the first row of the balcony and when she came flying it was magical!!

[@sheilataylor9579]

Omgosh! Love Sandy Duncan! She’s such a bubbly beautiful woman. I never knew she was born and raised in Texas. I too am a born and raised Texas gal, from Tyler. I love this interview and happy to know she’s still with us. Congratulations to Sandy and her hubby for the 40+ years of marriage.

[@judyg2889]

I've always love Sandy Duncan. She just lights up the room and fills it with energy.

[@b.visconti1765]

I saw Sandy Duncan in Peter Pan in LA..flying thru the air..it was Amazing..still have the program from that show Sooo many years ago❤️

[@thedivineenergy]

*I've been enjoying Here Comes the Sun. These segments are brilliant and really brighten my day. 🌞*

[@yvonnemurray5537]

Who doesn’t love Sandy Duncan! She looks great & still lots of energy…why don’t you, Sandy…come back to us with…I don’t know something that this new generation could relate to. Please consider it.

[@tiffanyb.7596]

My family loves Sandy Duncan so much! Thank you Thank you for this interview!! 🥰

[@francesfarmer736]

I absolutely remember Sandy Duncan, didn’t see Peter Pan, but remember Funny Face, and the commercials she did, long time ago…….it’s great to see her now!

[@jaredjlinden]

Sandy was just amazing as Peter Pan. The best one, with all due respect to Mary Martin and Cathy Rigby. A triple threat: an actress, singer, and dancer. Very talented lady and I’m happy to see her doing well.

[@pamelar5868]

What an excellent program. Thank you!

[@sharonradde3972]

Thank you for sharing the extended interview! I have loved Sandy since Peter Pan days. Saw it probably 25 times at the Pantages❤

[@jeanneratterman]

The library of my dreams! Awesome designs and use expansion! 👏👏👏

[@kirrich9441]

I remember the first time I saw her in an ad, I told my wife, that she will be a big star. So glad to see that beautiful smile again. Made this holiday, so much better!!!

[@katiezee2]

An amazing performance that seems to get overlooked is Sandy's appearance on Law & Order, 1995, as Shelley Kates, a brilliant defense attorney in the episode 'Paranoia'. She gave Jack McCoy a run for his money, so to speak - very memorable.

[@mrdonsmith]

Around 1975, I was the morning news anchor doing the local news cut-ins on NBC affiliate WESH in Orlando, Florida. I was a little bit of a Kansas City Star because of doing those 7:25 and 8:25 local news cut-in's during The Today Show. Because of that, an Orlando radio station had a Sandy Duncan look-alike contest and the prize was being taken to a nice dinner by me! A winner was announced and I was getting ready to go on the date when my pregnant wife's water broke! I had to call a friend to sub for me so I could be with my wife while she was giving birth. In those days, I was not allowed in the delivery room, though. Years later I saw Sandy in a local production here in Dallas, Texas but could not find the opportunity to meet her to tell her how we sort of crossed paths.

[@johnflynn9619]

Sandy is a Doll.

[@gregruland1934]

She lives! God Bless!

[@debbiebrewington7635]

Love Sandy! She’s just the same, lovely and sweet! 🤗

[@diytom3448]

Awesome I loved her in all of her movies and TV shows!

[@Magnusboi]

She looks great 👌

[@susannah1948]

Lovely brave lady

[@austinhill11]

She truly is forever young❤

[@bobs1356]

Always loved her, she was a cutie.

[@samueljaramillo4221]

Great interview

[@fredkaplan9720]

SHE LOOKS VERY WELL AND HAPPY TO ME ❤AMEN.WE LOVE YOU SANDY❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@bethelle9099]

What a treat! What a doll! So glad she found a good husband. Hard to come by! She made me laugh too! The best to you Sandy! You were ALWAYS a pleasure.........!......... "What strings?.........! 💖😆💖

[@dalespencer11]

I always remember her from a Wheat Thins Commercial.

[@allenjones3130]

I have always considered Sandy to be highly underrated as a singer. Her voice may not have been conventionally beautiful, but her singing had a great deal of character to it. After all, Sandy was trained as a musical theatre performer, and in musical theatre, character of voice is often more important than sheer beauty of tone.

[@lisamj]

A hometown celebrity. I grew up in east Texas, specifically Tyler where she lived from a little girl. Sandy's biggest celebrity besides Earl Campbell and maybe Patrick Mahomes. Yay Sandy Duncan!

[@sheilataylor9579]

I was born in Tyler. Had family there until my adulthood, I’m 70. I still have family in surrounding areas; Mineola, White House, etc.

[@Superfreaky2]

Omg its vixey! ❤

[@thepeterchannel3230]

Saw Sandy in "Peter Pan" at the Pantages Theater Hollywood Blvd, 1978 or 1979. Great show. .Singer/Actor. extraordinaire

[@christianbolt5761]

Happy she is doing great

[@marystrenke3050]

I even had my hair cut like hers🥰

[@AllenJones-w3p]

Sandy showed a lot of courage when she talked openly about her having gone blind in one eye. 8:53

[@willwardc.hughes8404]

Libraries LIVE!

[@robinvarnadoe7434]

Wonderful interview!

[@vivienbaker9684]

Love her!!

[@judithricca6915]

She was a total joy in Peter Pan, and I have the T Shirt from the Broadway run that I wear on special occasions.

[@joerogers540]

She was good in The Cat from Outer Space in 1978.

[@donnya.oryankingdonny230]

She was in Rock-A-Doodle, The Hogan Family, and Barney and The Backyard Gang.

[@sallycummings1453]

Saw Sandy Duncan performing at Radio City in 83. Very cool!

[@LizaFan]

A national treasure.

[@geisalagordon9966]

SANDY DUNCAN!!!!

[@michmex220]

Wow ! In 2014 she still looked grate for her age !

[@debbiedoodiedandi]

Nice high kicks from both of you!

[@RebeccaLynnMusic]

She looks cute.

[@KathyJeanActress]

Very cool! 😂

[@pauljono8164]

I did hear it was a glass eye. Now I know it's not. Looking great Sandy.

[@jameshuseby6290]

That's what I heard to and I think most people thought she had a glass eye like she insinuated

[@elizabethpowers7540]

Except as a homeless person who has traveled about the country a bit, I can tell you there are a lot of libraries in America that are downright hostile to homeless people (I'm looking at you, Pheonix, AZ). It's ridiculous that you are trying to get on your feet and you are not permitted to look at the newspapers.

[@psychicwoman]

Quintessential 💯🇺🇸♥️🌎🌍🌏

[@sweetlistenings3324]

Loved her in Scooby-Doo and The Hogan Family

[@anutterperspective]

Hashtag of her name is misspelled. FYI. Cannot watch at moment will soon tho!

[@bobs1356]

She doesn't look bad for her age at all.

[@jabjab4434]

Great subject matters but the format is annoying. Quit jumping all around. Why? What's the purpose? Intermingling 2 topic stimulation?

[@Lisa1111]

I though she had an artificial eye. It sure doesn't look like it if I'm not confused again! She looks great! 😂 ❤

[@joanholland3438]

What’s with the duo?

[@donnabaardsen5372]

This is a repeat. And, about libraries: noisy ones are NOT a positive thing. They should not be community centers. Which is what they've become.

[@marytheresejacksonlutz2533]

Totally agree! I don’t like visiting my local library because of this reason.

[@jltrem]

Sandy Duncan=Wheat Thins.

[@lilatravelpartners]

And the point is...? Splitting 3 stories in betwixt each other...NAH

[@nancyshrout-wankowski7147]

The closed captioning on this sucks.

[@barbaratibbets8643]

I’m with her on Triscuits rather than Wheat Thins.

[@romanumeralz]

It’s Vixey🦊 & Peepers🐭

[@ParamountVideoTakes]

Old movie of a dance recital in Tyler, Texas where my sister took lessons in the early 1960's. Sandy appears in a couple of places (at least I think it's her). Enjoy. kzbin.info/www/bejne/jnfbgJxmZtyIjMU

[@fredkaplan9720]

I LOVE ❤ HER SHE IS SO CUTE AND SEXY IN HER OWN WAY ❤❤❤❤❤❤😅

[@drhouse7264]

Mo Rocco = nails on a chalkboard

[@sageflower2680]

She does not look her age.

[@randalllaue4042]

There’s a reason why women wear the harness...

[@collinmoses3328]

I choose to think of Sandy as being a good person, but some terrible things happened to her, and I wish I could have been older to have prevented it and alot of other things.

[@njhdreams2415]

How could you have helped? What terrible things?

[@riobrasilsambashowssambist1453]

Can anyone sat Why they hired a female for the role of peter pan?

[@barbarak2836]

Peter Pan is supposed to stay around 12 years old. Mary Martin (Larry Hagman's mother) played him in the 1950s.

[@albertamaloney6580]

He's the boy who couldn't go up.

[@jackiea3222]

Don’t even know if she has the Limoges box?

[@slapshot68]

Barney and the Backyard gang

[@MsAlyMonique]

All I see is roots

[@rosecoloredtimes]

I feel that I have heard so many times that sandy Duncan has a glass eye. To think, it was all a myth…..

[@Starfish2145]

Wow…incompetent doctors

[@MondoMiami]

Such a slappable face throughout the decades.

[@mrdavid5771]

Didnt she lose an eye

[@bentnickel7487]

So you didn't bother to watch the video? It explained, in detail, what happened. You just start asking questions?

[@mrdavid5771]

@@bentnickel7487 no bent ssshole I didn't watch the whole interview

[@jameshuseby6290]

No didn't you watch it ? She Lost one of her 👃 nostrils was such a tragedy !
