Joan Jett David Letterman January 1987 part 1 

Letterman, so condescending, and Joan so graceful and lovely. She has more class than he does, with her calm and confident eye contact. He's drunk.

Joan Jett: the coolest woman ever to walk the face of the earth.

She's always so cool. And her eyes and smile are killer. I used to work with her sister in Los Angeles at a restaurant in the early 90s.

Yes! I just saw her 3 weeks ago. She's almost 54. She sounds EXACTLY the same! She's royalty - I dragged my 2 teenage girls to see her and they left as royal subjects.

I saw Joan Jett and The Blackhearts on January 9, 1987, at The Boathouse in Norfolk, VA. A local band from Virginia Beach opened.

u are right!!!!! WE WANT JOAN JETT IN THE ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME ...SHE IS SURELY A ROCKSTAR!!

she is amazing

Joan was the most beautiful woman on earth for about a decade. Still hot today.

Joan is forever beautiful 🖤I love her to death! Such a nice person

She's an entertainer who wants her audience to be entertained or rocked! She still is if you watch her latest concerts! She hasn't changed and I will always consider her as the essence of sexy and rock n roll!

That is Joan Jett, originaly with the Runaway's, in the 80's she left and formed Joan Jett and the Black Hearts. She still looks amazing and is currently on tour with the Foo Fighters. No record company would sighn her, saying she had no talent and couldnt sing! So, she started her own record company "black heart records" Released "I love Rock and Roll" It blew off the charts and she's been playing ever since! Long Live Rock and Long Live Joan Jett! \m/

Haha it's too adorable at 5:10 when she just laughs and says "I am a kid."

Joan Jett is Soooo Fine !!

Joan *ROCKS*! Can't wait for the movie 'The Runaways' with Kristen Stewart portraying Joan. Cool. :-)

She's still rockin. If you get a chance to see her live do it.

Joan, I love you!!!

She has incredible eyes

OMG! I haven't heard of this!! Thanks for the info!

I LOVE HER! JOAN YOU ARE MY HERO

Only Letterman would miss the point looking right into those eyes that sparkle "genius" like bright stars of strength and intelligence and love. He and Joe Franklin would get along great.

Letterman rocks!

Joanie's so cute here =)

can you imagine like 20 years later Dwayne the wild man was just looking around on youtube and found this video hahahaha! he'd lose it he'd actully lose it, he missed his only chance to talk to Joanie :L

She's gorgeous.

He has a smile that can light up a room! ^_^

joan is beautiful! ahhh she is my idol!

I forever wish he picked up...

area code 219 was northern Indiana in 1987 ...

Wow, her eyes are friggin' gorgeous.

She is so cool

Joan Jett "and also Richard Pryor...." Wow, it's easy to forget that Dave used to truly GET. But then again, this was just slightly before there were a thousand late-night shows. Joan Rivers was still hosting the Late Show and Arsenio was sidekicking on Thicke Of The Night.

yeah should be awesome !! Great role for Kristen

i can imagine this Dwayne guy watching this video years later :D hahahhaha :D

"Do you have a problem chaffing in that leather?" LOL

I see it too!!! :)

Poor Dwayne "The Wild Man", missing the phone call of his life, just think of the tales he could have told.

Whatever age she was she was beautiful!!!!

She's amazing. Forget Queen of Rock. More like Goddess

she's beautiful here.

yes i absolutely agree! the movie will be awesome!

Amazing...Joan just turned 50!!

I agree, Kristen is so chill, and Joan is super laid back also, i think Kristen is gonna pull it off and do a good job.

Hot damn. She is SOOOOOOO fine.

She's 28 years 3 months and 13 days old exactly here.

Wow, Kristen Stewart will do a great job portraying Joan in the runaways. They look alike and even act abit similar.

Dwayne? ... are you watching this video?

Dam Straight / So Connected / to her Ambitions..

I don't like how David Letterman seems to be talking down to Joan Jett,there was no reason to phone one of her fans and putting Joan on the spot, Joan is one smart classy women.

she was 15 in 1975 when she started the runaways and this was 1987 which would be 12 years later this making her 27 during this dl inteview.

Look at some other interviews Letterman did with Joan. He's subtle, but he has a bigger crush on Joan than Dwayne!

Ditto! I'm so excited!!! XD omgomgomgomg

@MrNightOwl88 she did a great job! i cant wait! the sundance reviews were great across the board for the movie.

she has such strong bone structure

@FernandaJett it is true she was 15 in 1975 when the runaways started.

i always thought she was so gorgeous....

NO ONE ABSOLUTELY NO ONE can touch Letterman in the 80s not before or since. Just further proof

MET HER AT A NITE CLUB IN THE 80S,, ROCK AND ROLL HALL OF FAME!!1WHAT R U WAITING 4,PUT JJ IN!!!!!!!

Kristen really does look like Joan!

@TheSeb12898 wrong. the clip is from 1987, and she was born 1958, so 29, almost 30.

of all the celebs I've seen interviewed, she is about the only normal one who I'd want to hang out with or get a call from!

lez 4everrrr

I love her black hair. Does she naturally have black hair or she dye it? It looks so real.

she sounds exactly like she does now just a little higher

American talent is the shiz. I'm a kiwi :)

I bet Dwanye wasn't even a real person. David just said that because he really wrote the letter.

woah..thats an old phone

Yes Roseworld89, she is.....or is rumored to be, only she can really answer that question.

@weathered79 whats even better is she doesn't give a crap about doing it on tv

I would kiss her

damn she is so hot!! Still to this day!

she's a million times hotter than the new types (e.g. Lady GaGa)..

i wish she'd call me :)

For some reason her look in this interview...reminds me of Cher.

That was a little bit creepy when he said "Your just a kid" and scooted towards her.

dwane the wild man for a wild man call dwane

He was born 4/12/1947.

so long as she's legal dave

Dwayne's busy on the stool.

She has a hot phone voice ^^

I hate this so much because I wanted Duane the Wildman to answer!!!!!

@pandorawarhol you re not alone with that ;)

CALL ME JOAN

@pandorawarhol agreed!

@watever4896 no she was 17

Damn it I wanted to see what Duane the Wildman was going to say.

damn was this in the I hate myself for loving you era?? i mean she has the hair and the BODY damn :O anyways can someone tell me that im right on this?

wheres she from???

damn look at those lips

@DalanieGussman Yeap or at least "Frasier" style .-)

@altazboy Yeah!! (;

I wish Dwyane would've picked up =/

the first time she speaks, she says yeah, and it reminds me of kristen stewart in the film the runaways, how after kim fowley is talking about seeing the scratch marks down their backs and that that song needs to be like her sister slept with her boyfriend in their parents bed, she says yeah to kim as he walks past her and he replies yeah. maybe she got that from this interview? or just a weird coincidence, or just total bullshit that I came up with?

@McquaidJckson your on the internet look it up if you dont believe me, im not going to argue

Why does he keep calling her a "kid"? Isn't she at least in her twenties here??

I bet Dwayne was older than 17...

wow sucks to be that guy! he missed their call! hahah

she is 27

She's just a kid? How mean. She would've been in her mid to late twenties

theres more than 50 states

Dwayne the wild bum! :D
