Listen, any man who can make Babs Streisand cry can’t be all bad.

What did he say to her?

That back in the day she had been “totally self absorbed.”

She doesn’t burst into tears but you can see her eyes well up.

He was quite rude to Barbra.

He was also horrible to Maria Callas.

She is really funny when she turns it around with, “Why do you sound so [italic]accusatory?”

They had to go to England to find gays.

He was not only disrespectful to Barbra, he was condescending and presumptuous. Clearly, he didn't like her, and was threatened by her strength and assertiveness. The interview was tinged with misogyny.

Mike Wallace was a constipated cunt.

She was 21 or 22 at the time, who isn't self absorbed at that age. Also, she was realizing how incredibly talented she was.

He was just a miserable, depressed angry man. He probably wanted to fuck her and she had no interest.

It's unbelievable how homophobic Mike Wallace appears to us today...just the use of the clinical language, "homosexual."

Jerry and Maggie look more like brother and sister.

That gay guy wit the two sons was good looking. His so called boy toy was 21 years old- he was not a youthful looking 21 year old nor was he in any way attractive. The gay dad died in 1993 of AIDS. If he were still alive he would be 89 years old. He was brave in 1977 to be interviewed and just matter of factly say he was not bi just gay.

The wife at the beginning looks like she has 17 layers of lipstick on to hide the cold sores.

below was posted in comments section on the YouTube link

David Bartlett Rees was a writer . His career progressed and reflected his own life . He came out at around the age of 37 AFTER marriage and kids . He wrote children's and young adult fictional literature . He was diagnosed with HIV/AIDS in 1985 and died from AIDS complications in 1993 in London . Judging by what his closest friends say , he died within the same attitude as he lived ..... Difficult to deal with at times , but never dull . I'll try to get information about his ex-wife and kids in a bit

UPDATE : Jenny Lee Watkins ( Rees ) did eventually move on and lived a quiet reclusive life . I don't know if she's still alive or not , but Adam grew up to reflect his father's preference . He's also done some work in literature and music . Stephen became a writer and also has done work in music . And the arrogant horrible lover of David that was featured in the video , also died from AIDS . He died in 1995 according to a former student of David Rees . That is all I could find guys
