And we all know that isn't true. I have a suspicion that Oprah has loved an IDOLIZED Diana most of her life, and Mary's book exposed something that Oprah didn't want to know. It burst her pretty balloon, and she's been mad about it ever since. Hence her editing out Diana talking about Mary and Flo. Hence her speaking about those Sullivan apearances like Diana was up there alone. When other famous people talk about the british invasion, interviewers, musicians, newscasters... do they say "The first time I saw Paul MCCartney on Sullivan, it changed my life"... you don't hear that, do you?
