There was a magazine interview with Joan and I asked her about giving out Victoria's number - she answered lol. I have the article in my collection somewhere :D

VP fields this interview very well until she admits at the end that she was the first American baby born in Japan after the occupation --- which means January 1946.... unless we're supposed to believe none were born for four more years.

That was an interesting interview. Joan Rivers style was very bold. But it was funny up to a point.

I liked that VP showed sympathy for Princess Diana since she got married so young. Of course by now we all know Charles and Diana's marriage was not what it seemed.

I loved that she bought herself a bigger ring than the one Andy Gibb had given to her.

Her laughter is great.

Her hair is very 80s!
I don't think I've ever seen it that big. It's not a flattering look on her. It reminds me of her poodle perm. :giggle:

Then as for being born in Japan after the war. Well I googled the occupation of Japan and it apparently went on between 1945-1952. So I guess it's possible that she was one of the first American babies born after the war even if she was born in 1950. It depends on how many babies were born in military families and how many American soldiers that were posted there. I don't believe she was born after the occupation though, which would have been in 1953.

I think this interview was from 1983, so then VP was not 40 years old. So Joan Rivers saying she looked great for 40 is obviously a joke.

Really like how Victoria handled herself here. I once read where Joan said far too many people didn't get her caustic sense of humour which explains why many actors disliked her, especially women when Joan would rip them to shreds on their choice of outfit to the opening of another envelope. She also remarked once how she liked Nicole Kidman because Nicole got Joan's wit. All I know is Joan was well liked here in Australia. Must have something to do with Aussies laughing at ourselves.

in howard stern's book he says he adores her, i guess she was his 1st guest way back in (1978) and they were really close too. Joan Rivers said about Nicole Kidman this, she likes me when i compliment her dress and than she hates me when i don't. go figure she says, the interview that is in the book i think he said was one of the last times she was on the air before she died. and he was their at her funeral giving a eulogy and he had everyone laughing which is what Joan would have wanted and well he's right i think she would have approved what he was saying even though i went WTF? for me though the best thing she ever did was Space Balls as i love her in that film, i never watched her E! show with her Daughter nor did i watch this show either but i watched her in films mostly and i think i've seen her do stand up but i haven't watched any of that in years to be honest.

@ Miss Texas 1967: this interview was roughly 6 years before she gave out the number on air. 1986 or 1987 is when the sh:t really hit the fan between JR and VP......

Are there previous interviews? I guess there are but just not on Youtube. Joan refers to last time.

I presume the incident with the phone number isn't online either?

Btw, a little off topic, but JR never went after someone in an interview first. When Nielsen made the crack about Joan “giving her a hard time” her goose was cooked, the same for when Hahn said that JR owed her an apology....
