Whoa, thank you for posting this. This is so interesting and unique; but he sure went some "places" in some of his interviewing, lol.

This looked somewhat scripted and kind of dumb. A real interviewer would not keep pushing questions and make someone mad. Except maybe for Diane Sawyer

this is about Mindy Cohn not the Pope. The guy is a comedian, talking to comedians. And of course some of it's scripted - its television...

bottom line, this guy revealed lots of new info and perspectives. i was happy to get it..

Just because I have a different opinion doesn't mean you can be condescending about my personal view on the video

i'm sure Diane Sawyer would disagree

StephJ4 · 01-25-2015, 02:23 PM

I'm sure she would, but you're not Diane Sawyer, and I didn't deserve to be spoken to like that.

I'm going to end this conversation now.

I wish they had skipped the part about the masturbation book. That's not how I want to remember Mindy and Charlotte. Like Mindy's dad, I think that part was in poor taste.

It was cool to meet Mindy's parents. Mindy's mom doesn't look much like Mindy, and that surprised me.

80s Dude · 05-02-2020, 11:34 PM

Mindy definitely got more of her looks from her dad.

Was it scripted? The way they filmed Charlotte, it seemed like they dubbed her voice. Mindy always speaks so highly of Charlotte and cries almost at the mention of her, so I had a hard time thinking this was truth and not satire. But hey maybe it did happen.

I feel like Charlotte was interview by the academy of tv and they tried to ask her revealing questions and she would budge. Otherwise I was not a fan of this piece.

The part with Mindy looks scripted, the part with Charlotte does not. When they appeared on the TV Land awards, there was chatter that Mindy sounded distant. If they overdubbed what Charlotte said, then she had a great case for a lawsuit. Charlotte's memory began to fade in her later life as did her ability to think before she spoke. I believe what Charlotte said 100%. I also think Mindy mentioned something about it somewhere.

80s Dude · 05-03-2020, 12:48 PM

I wonder how old Mindy was when Charlotte gave her that book?

80s Dude · 05-03-2020, 12:51 PM

Mindy is not shy about publicly stating that she is the master of her domain.
