She said it and I will repeat it…”Harvey, what a dear man you are”. Doesn’t that say a truthful mouthful! I LOVED this interview!!! Both of you make me want to hug you with gratitude! I LOVED her book. She is a dear soul. She is a ray of joy and to be that after all she has gone through is an accomplishment! She shares so much that is not simply interesting but some crucial life lessons. Harvey, as always your respect for the person you are interviewing shines through. Both of your hearts light up the interview and I’m so grateful I saw this. Thank you both for what you do👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️❤️❤️❤️
Brian you have brought tears to my eyes! Thank you so much!!! I appreciate you IMMENSELY ❤️
Thank you so much Harvey for this wonderful interview with Joyce Bulifant! I just want to reach out and give her a big hug. Such a warm, down to earth and classy lady!
I am so pleased that you enjoyed this interview. Joyce is truly lovely. Her book was a fun read.
Harvey, you are a fantastic interviewer. You do your homework and display understanding and compassion during your interviews. Well done!
WOW! Thank you so very much! I pour my heart and soul into every interview, so feedback like yours means the world to me. I appreciate you more than you can ever know!❤️
I have always loved Joyce…..a very beautiful lady.
She sure is. I loved having her on our show!
I am so happy I found you Harvey. What a kind sweet man you are plus being an awesome interviewer.
Awww Marie I am very glad you discovered our UA-cam channel and that you enjoy our show. I wish more people would find us. 🙏❤️
@@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980 Too bad that I didn't discover you during lockdown -- it would have made the time more bearable.
That is so sweet of you. I’m thrilled we have each other now. I’m never letting you go!!!❤️
She's an empath. Very loving and sensitive to the pain of others, that's why (in my opinion) why toxic men were drawn to her. I recognize that, because of my own personal journey (past tense). This was a wonderful and insightful interview Harvey. Your research, your tact, your professionalism is unmatched. She's a interviewer's dream too. Very engaging and transparent, from beginning to end. I enjoyed this interview for multiple reasons.
This comment touches my heart. Thank you so much for seeing so much in my interviews. It means more than I can say. ❤️
My first visit to your channel Mr. Brownstone and you are one of the kindest interviewers I've ever seen. You must make the people you interview feel so safe and loved. Thank you for this beautiful talk you had with Joyce Bulifant. I'm happy to have found your channel and I have subscribed.💖💖💖
Thank you so much for finding our show and for watching my interview with the wonderful Joyce Bulifant. How could anyone not be kind to her? I’ve become dear friends with most of the guests who’ve appeared on our show, so it’s a pleasure to be enthusiastically supportive of them. Thank you so much for watching, for subscribing, and for taking the time to post your lovely comment!❤️
@@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980 You are a dear man, thank you.
Harvey, u asked superb questions with style. Not intrusive or judgmental. Awesome! 👍
Thank you so much! I put my heart and soul into every interview, and your feedback means the world to me.
Is she as ditzy as she portrays herself to be on screen? Decide for yourself. I found her utterly delightful.
Like Tina Cole, she has a natural way of maintaining her youth 💗👍
So true
Viewing this will be my lunchtime treat.
Enjoy your lunch!
I may buy the book after watching this good interview. I always liked her because of her sweet voice. They should have used her more on the Mary Tyler Moore show. Also it’s a shame that the network did her wrong by not honoring her contract for the Brady Bunch. They should have created something else for her instead. By the way, you are a great interviewer. Just subscribed the other day.
You have no idea how thrilled I am that you have subscribed to our channel. We believe we have a great show and that my interviewing style is unique, but it is so hard to spread the word because of all the competition on UA-cam. Thank you so much For your support.
She's so true and sweet to have allowed her husbands to treat her so shabbily. TG she got out in time.
It’s all about self esteem. Thank God she developed some.
Another fantastic interview, Harvey!
Thank you for all your hard work and research with your guest. You have an uncanny ability to read the spoken and unspoken language of your guest! I recognize your gifted instinctive interview style.
Thank you so much for your very kind comment, and for your support of our show!!❤️
As always, a great interview! Thanks for sharing this!
Thank you so much for watching!
I'm so glad to have found your channel! I love how you bring these Hollywood legends to the forefront for all us fans of the like! I also knew Joyce Bulifant first from The Happiest Millionaire and it's so wonderful to hear her speak about it here as well as everything else she speaks about. She sounds so friendly!
If I can make a request, it would be so awesome if you could get Joyce Randolph (from The Honeymooners) on your show!
Thank you so much for watching. I would love to interview Joyce Randolph and have tried several times. Unfortunately I’m told she no longer gives interviews.
@@harveybrownstoneinterviews8980 Aw, sorry to hear that :( .
Joyce Did Big John Little John in 1976 as a Saturday morning comedy on NBC.
Did you enjoy the interview?
The description of actor Jack Lord should be preferenced with the word allegedly...
Good point.
I think you mean prefaced.
I enjoyed the interview. I’m almost through with the book and to be honest, I didn’t really care for it. I am a Joyce Bulifant fan; just found the book a bit disappointing.
Well I am thrilled that you enjoyed the interview. As for the book….it is what it is. Joyce has had quite a life!
It was a different era..women stayed...it was expected
Very true
Brilliant as always, Harvey. U ask interesting questions... always.
Thank you so much!
Should have asked her about Joan Crawford.
It never occurred to me. Sorry.
