Lovely. I don't think she realized that she was also being filmed! She looked good though.
I think keeping busy and happy is what keeps Mary Wilson so young!Quote:

Good point of diff subjects! This interview offered her the forum to get a bit deeper and personalize her message. Go Mary!?
She gives so many interviews in a year, I wonder how she stays enthusiastic about it all.Quote:

Come on, Mary always wanted to be a performer and famous and she's become that! So what that she gives a lot of interviews? LOL
Anyway, thanks for posting the interview though. I love how she talks about the Modernization Act, she was one of the main ones who was pushing this act. I'm so proud of her for helping all the other legends and their estates get their checks!
I think Marv was referring to Mary being enthusiastic about the interviews. I agree with him. While it is show business and interviews come with the territory, lots of celebrities are less than enthused when having to do them. The fact that Mary does so many with 99 percent of them being the same questions over again [[which I imagine is what bothers a lot of the other entertainers, that they have to answer the same questions over and over and over...) and yet she rarely-if ever- shows any signs of disinterest or discontent or worn down, is amazing. Perhaps a testament to her professionalism, perhaps a testament to her personable personality, or a combination of both.
Oh okay, that makes better sense... but yeah Mary definitely loves doing interviews. Most stars don't wanna be bothered...and I don't blame them either. Some are up for them and some aren't.
Entertainers, by their very nature, crave attention. Depending on their levels of fame, some get it without a lot of effort while others need to work much harder at it. Because, to many, Mary Wilson is not a household name, she just has to work a lot harder for the spotlight. While it does appear that she honestly enjoys giving interviews, it’s also one of those chores which goes with the territory.
Very well put. Mary Wilson does indeed have to work harder to gain attention than legends such as Diana, Stevie, Smokey etc. She does so many interviews because she has to in order to keep her name out there.Quote:

Mary still performs around the World. Add to that all the travel domestically and whew!Quote:
