(CLASSIC MOMENTS) 10 Days of BW: Dolly, Lucy and Liz!

My mentor, Barbara Walters is retiring on May 16th and we are counting down 10 of  her best interviews.

Today, Barbara is interviewing Dolly Parton in 1977,on touring, her bus, childhood, figure, Lucy and Gary Morton. IMO:Barbara Walters asks the questions Lucy kinda steered away from up until this point of her career on television (post-I Love Lucy) Some say Lucy was uncomfortable with discussing her past life with her current husband, as she wanted to respect the present joys they had in a successful marriage, and giving it its own identity-It's definately interesting to see Lucy almost go ham on her first marriage and tell the TRUTH of how it was, and why it didnt work. Barbara is wonderful and friendly but asks those GOOD questions you've always wanted to know :) Id love to see an unedited version come out one day, as this is the only known full footage besides that shown on the original air date. At least that I know of. Plus a Fat Liz with her Republican Senator Husband.

Today, Barbara is interviewing Judy Garland shortly after her oldest daughter, Liza Minnelli, married Peter Allen. With Liza out of the nest, the great star is flanked by her younger children Lorna Luft and Joey Luft.

She’s in good form here – clear and charming.

Miss Garland wanted to be a grandmother and was eager to babysit. So sad that two years later she would be dead from an accidental overdose.

In this interview, she denies drug and alcohol abuse and being temperamental: ‘I’m as difficult as a daisy.”

Every June from 1994 to 2001, The Nurses Ball highlighted the talent of both shows and really pulled out all the stops of raising awareness of HIV and AIDS. See  the FULL Playlist of all the Nurse's Balls Here. Notice in the 1995 Ball, The Mother of Ryan White attended and spoke about Children with AIDS. In 1996, Janis Ian made an appearance.

Below are some my favorite numbers from past Balls. They are Campy, Fun, Inspirational. Enjoy!
