The Barbara Walters Specials - Season 5 / Year 1979
Season 5 / Year 1979
Episodes
Suzanne Somers, Sylvester Stallone and Stevie Wond
Barbara Walters interviews Suzanne Somers, Sylvester Stallone and Stevie Wonder in California locales.
None quite corresponds to his image, especially Stallone, characterized by Walters as "not the inarticulate street fighter Rocky, but thoughtful, well-spoken, philosophical, even intellectual." Their talk in Stallone's sprawling Malibu house runs from memories of a misspent youth in New York's Hell's Kitchen to considerations of Hollywood suc-cess.
The price of fame is also covered in Walters' chat with "Three's Company" star Somers, who candidly-and emotionally— discusses some little-known aspects of her past. Like the fact that she was pregnant and then married at 17. And that she posed nude for an adult magazine in 1968. Why? "I didn't know how to make a living. They offered me $400.. and I was really in a spot."
