Janis Joplin, Douglas Fairbanks Jr and Raquel Welch Discuss Their Childhood's | The Dick Cavett Show

[@benschaeffer8102]

Janis was SUCH an intellectual. She was REMARKABLY well-read. It's beautiful to see how she could be SO insightful and share that with other artists in the industry.

[@ryanledoux366]

Such an interesting approach to interviewing that Dick Cavett has. Clearly no prepared questions, just asking questions you might ask at a party or something. It feels like a real hangout.

[@brunof.feldberg]

Ryan Ledoux and the fact that he isn’t, even in the slightest bit, pushy :3

[@XXthekingofyouXX]

Bingo. Everything about his interviews are so genuine. You actually get to know his guests and the way they think. Most interviews today are so rehearsed and prepared they become just another performance.

[@hellopolly2691]

They should replay them on free to air TV or KZbin.. They would rate l Much better than that phony Ellen. And ll the political nonsense on tonight shows. I prefer to relax when I watch TV .Not get a lecture. The three guest are awesome! Old school gentleman with real acting skills.Talented Beauty with a a gentle soul. And Janis who had class,sass and was a dynamite performer. No one talks over another like today Mr Cavitt is a great interviewer also. Brilliant!

[@pwnranger3496]

I have no idea how Dick Cavett interviews came up as recommended for me, but I have to say these are pretty interesting, a far cry from what Kimmel, Fallon, or Colbert do on their shows today. This one's seems particularly crazy because of the wild varieties of personalities in front of him. hippie musician, retired movie star, model and pin up girl and each of them gets respect and is respected. I especially like the end where after Welch goes on about dreaming of a ballerina on a trapeze, Joplin seemingly goes on some random gush about F Scott Fitzgerald, that confuses everyone. But Cavett was educated enough to know exactly what she was talking about with Fitzgerald and Zelda and clarified that for the audience. I'm willing to bet that made Joplin feel good, knowing someone knew what she was talking about. Had that been Letterman, he probably would have made fun of her and made her feel like crap

[@HAL-rx5ln]

Fallon hahaha. Jesus Christ what happened?

[@curabecorg7013]

Right. Zelda was all about the ballet. Janis seems uncomfortable in interviews.

[@jamesscanlon5969]

I really admire the way Cavett was able to monitor what he was hearing and change positions in his mind. What I mean is Welch mentioned her dreams, then Joplin said something about Fitzgerld's work. Cavett only had a couple of seconds before break so he did his level best to tie the ideas together so the audience didn't miss the Non sequitur. He asked Joplin "... did you think of him, when she (Welch) mentioned (details of the dream)?" Then he said "We have a message." It was that fast.

The end of this particular episode was actually quite interesting, and it parallels the present, as they were talking about news stories, how they cannot be presented with total objectivity, and the political polorization of the country at the time. Does that sound familiar? It sure does. Dick Cavett had a knack for selecting interesting guests, many of which you just didn't see elsewhere. His interviews were more like chats, wherein you got to know the people AS people. I find myself tuning in to him on the decades channel. This particular episode was on yesterday. I had just seen this episode a number of months earlier on some other channel. I had my wife watch it with me, and we both agreed that the discussions that they had reached far into the future.

Seriously, I truly admire how wonderful Dick and his guests are all interacting with dignity, respect for one another, behaving civilly toward each other. From all different kinds of different celebrities who have their own distinctive personalities. First, it’s not fair for the shallow, superficial BS crap comparison to Janis and Raquel. I understand they became good friends, and were very amicable toward each other. Doug Fairbanks Jr was quite charming with his experience and wit in his film career. All three of them made very sensible comments, and were getting along beautifully with Dick Cavett. That’s how it was in 1970, now 55 years ago. Dick had some interesting conversations with all three of them with the beautiful Raquel, debonair Doug, and intelligent Janis. I honestly don’t think there was any tension whatsoever between Janis and Raquel as Raquel stated she was a fan of Janis. Janis implied that she loved Doug’s and Raquel’s movies. Kudos for all four of them.

She was a poor growing up. She was creully voted the most handsome in her high school yearbook. One of her classmates was Jimmy Johnson who coached The Miami thugs of the 80s then the Cowgirls. The reunion was not a tailspin. She went there and everyone was being all nice and she just ignored them. In regards to her looks. If she dolled herself up and wanted to look pretty she could have.
