The interviewer is one of the best of SAG-AFTRA. Where is her credit? Other hosts use the same formulaic approach, repeated ad infinitum. They don't listen to the extent that is exemplified here. This interviewer draws Farrah out; a private, relatively introverted actress who consequently slowly unravels what she has learnt. This discussion is poignant, given Farrah's initial indecisiveness and her own reportedly bumpy private life. Added to which, she only stayed with us another three years. She must have learnt about her condition around this time. Someone you might brush off as one of the less 'real' actors, but not so. She is authentic: "“capable of being in uncertainties, Mysteries, doubts, without any irritable reaching after fact and reason.” (Keats)
