That was wonderful thanks for sharing she's so relaxed and happy.. Great footage
she is so incredibly intense when talking... The opening incident is very funny to watch
I have so much to do today but could not stop watching. It was lovely to see her in such a happy and relaxed mood. I connect with the youthful spirit she possess which remains such a huge part of her persona.
Many thanks for posting Khansperac.
She is usually like that out of the public eye. I often feel people disbelieve me when i say that, but the private Diana Ross is a far more relaxed, humerous and approachable person than the one the public usually gets to see. I wish she could have relaxed more when being interviewed back in the day because she has a wicked sense of humour when she is not constantly on guard when in the spotlight. I haven't watched this video as yet, but it sounds like she was in a relaxful mood. That is good to hear.Quote:

Ive watched this two times already. Loved it and the quality was real good. Thank you
Her sense of humor is so naughty when she's comfortable with the interviewer, I just love it. Of course y'all know I got down the two times she talked about her film career, but she looked so fresh and full of zest and life. I just love this woman. Loved watching this!Quote:

What was to follow? I'm a bit young 🤣. I only remember her getting arrested on television and almost crying when they showed her failing her sobriety testQuote:

This ain't funny, but I cracked up at "She was going through menopause"
I am on the floor HOWLING at this!!!!!!!!!
Why did RTL generate negative publicity? Is it because no Miss Mary Wilson?
What problems was she having with the Motown staff?
Menopause is no joke..it can have a devastating toll on a woman's mental health .. diana for all the wonderful songs and glitzy gowns is a real person and has human problems just like anyone else yes..she had menopause I don't see anything funny or embarrassing about that
I had no idea she was almost crying. There you go, you seem to know a lot more then i do on the subject.Quote:

Oh by the way, welcome back.
No, I WAS ALMOST CRYING. Not Miss Ross. That scared the heck out of me seeing her on the news like that.Quote:

Youve got a warped sense of humor young man and a whole load of growing up to do but lifes lessons will hopefully help you to be a bit kinder. We all get checked throughout this great journey of life. Getting your heart broken is never funny.Quote:

You know nothing about me at all, and you were not paying attention to anything I said. I did not laugh at heartbreak. You do not know anything about me, so please keep your warped comments to yourself. It is clear you did not get the life check you needed, otherwise you would not say the things you do to strangers on message boards. You should take your own advice and be a bit more kinder.Quote:

Nomis was kind enough to answer your question about the turbulent years to follow with a few pointers about this. As Ollie wrote, if you want to know more about that, google it please.
This thread was [[no: IS) about the fascinating video of Ms Ross in South Africa. I have enjoyed watching this, thanks for sharing. It showed me a side of Ms Ross I can't get enough off. Forever Young.
