Mary Martin and her son Larry Hagman discuss their early family problems and later reconciliation in this candid two-part interview with Hugh Downs from 1979, taped at Hagman's Malibu beach home.
Man, you can see the little kid coming out of Larry with his mom sitting right there. "I learned how to be a good father by doing the opposite of what my own mom did with me." Wow.
Mary Martin could have portrayed 'Rose' in GYPSY better than anyone else. She lived the role and would have had great empathy to portray mother versus career.
