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."

Snapped
Who are these women and what drives them to kill? Oxygen's hit true crime series, Snapped, profiles fascinating cases of women accused of murder. Did they really do it? And if they did, why? Whether the motivation is revenge against a cheating husband, the promise of a hefty insurance payoff, or putting an end to years of abuse, the reasons are as varied as the women themselves. From socialites to secretaries, female killers share one thing in common: at some point, they all snapped. Each episode of Snapped chronicles the life of a woman who has been charged with murder. These shocking but true stories turn common assumptions about crime and criminals upside down, and prove that even the most unlikely suspects can be capable of murder.
