Fran Lebowitz in 1978

[@inkysonar1922]

She was so good looking in my opinion.

[@MikkoHere]

I think she came out of the womb with a cigarette in hand

[@elisaortega4837]

In her time she was very revolutionary for a woman to have such strong opinions. She has changes her opinions over the years but something constant in her is the fact that keeps speaking her mind without being scared of the backlash and that is a great thing that I admire and love from her.

[@mRGuitarShow1]

Any idiot can have a strong opinion. few can have that plus being persuasive and having a good argument.

[@badlaamaurukehu]

CBC should take notes.

[@iz6566]

I’m afraid it is always revolutionary for a woman to have strong opinions

[@AzuulSofia]

We need more footage of Fran! What a woman

[@mrquojo]

Watch her Netflix special

[@MatiasGeraldoThe2nd]

Hasn’t changed her outfit in 50 years. Love it.

Or her hairstyle 😍

[@praisegod3768]

I always loved her classic style!

[@justinmerpaw1234]

She kinda predicted how Facebook gives people their news. Personalized.

Agreed. She knew this all along through sheer observation!

[@yelddoswell9292]

Fran use to sit behind me in home room class in high school. Hey Doswell have got a light, hey Doswell have you got extra cigarette. Those were the days.

[@sammyyu4393]

Did she talk as incisive as she is on television?

[@LeoBorg135]

I want to know the same

[@aaronying4989]

Really?? I feel I wish to have known her when she was young. And been her friend.

[@badlaamaurukehu]

​@@aaronying4989She likely wouldn't like Trudeau's dystopia at all.

[@mt.treverest5465]

Such a legend. Thank you CBC! keep the clips coming if you have any more!

[@melodyal3357]

She’s definitely an old soul! You can see it in her eyes and all over her face, there is this old soul aura as if she lived many lives, collecting the wisdom, coming here again and opening people’s eyes.:) Some people are just born unique and charming! And daamn the cigarette meanwhile having interview, what a freedom in this aspect, nobody cared and complained over stupid things like today. Love it❣️

[@halimehnkulu9410]

You are absolutely beautiful in this clip. You remain so. I just love... love your words.

[@studentfilmed]

she’s about 28 years old here for anyone curious

[@terryfriend16]

One of a kind, Fran...

[@judefoote7566]

Just discovered so late in life everything she casts an opinion on I feel in harmony with. A one off

[@curanderoverde]

She basically talking about social media

According to Fran’s Wikipedia page, in her 20’s she made money “writing papers for students” , which implies to me she helped them cheat.

[@danielmunro1556]

She can hustle

[@thehardmenpaththehardmenpa8348]

@@akumar7366 haha yes I can. Tho as an occasional smoker I’m sure you can appreciate my hesitation to judge the (dirty) habit

[@akumar7366]

@@Thomas-gs3gv Fair point , smoking has always played an important visual tool in both both the written word , Sherlock Holmes pipe comes to mind and literally hundreds of examples in the movies . I belive in personal freedom at least today ,we are fully aware of the risk , nice exchanging views , smoke or no smoke .

[@aaronying4989]

I like the smell of cigarettes lol ok also I think you need a sort of morbid sense of humor to smoke. I think it’s cool aha.
