Had never actually seen an interview with her. I'd only ever seen some photos....and the music video for The Cars' Drive. And always thought she was inhumanly gorgeous....just beyond captivating and beautiful. And it turns out...she's got a killer personality. Very real, witty, and smart. I like her even more now....
She is quite possibly the smartest super model. At 21 she was listed among the 100 "smartest americans"...granted that's subjective, but nevertheless quite impressive to even be considered. Especially for a model. She had a bad reputation back then for "being difficult", but I think it's coz most people expected her to be just another vacuous pretty model. But I've read a lot of ordinary folks comments who've crossed paths with her, that she's very genuinely pleasant, down to earth, witty and very cool. I love her!! 👌
@@keno1069 I think you're missing the point. Of course there are, and "these lists" are often trivial, subjective and tend to relate to people in the public eye. Still doesn't take away the fact that she's smarter than most, more than likely you included🤷🏿♀️

"That's the art world's version of Jazz hands" Jesus, how smart is this guy? Everytime there's a really smart guest, Craig seems to always be able to talk with them on the same wavelength.
I met her in Brookline Mass, a lovely down to earth real decent, outgoing and very funny. We met through a mutual friend. I was so surprised at how awesome and truly nice she is.
Tyra Banks was jealous of Paulina, no doubt. Tyra could never even come close to Paulina's beauty and supermodel status. She was one of the "it" girls in the world of supermodels. Not to mention Paulina has a very humble personality, intelligence, and is a class act.
Love her. Look up her interview with David Letterman when she was 21 and compare to now. She was so guarded and jaded and cynical at 21. Now, she is so engaging and sociable. Sure she's "playing the Hollywood game" now but both interviews show a fascinating woman.
@@balto20002 Yeah young women should be guarded, espeacially the ones that are in show business and the modelinh industry because many of these women get exploited and abused.
If Pauline had married a man like him, she would have gotten her dream of staying happily with one till death. And she would have never felt unworthy of love, she is soooooo worthy of love.
@@LednacekZ she was spotted by model agents at 13yo and went straight to Paris. Is also described as having had a tough childhood, what little she had.
That whole Geoff not having genitalia was a great setup for that. "Maybe you can work with Geoff and help get his package through the U.S. Customs." Love those callbacks Craig makes and set up the joke for the punchline 5 minutes later! GENIUS!!! Come back to us, Craig!!! Late night hasn't been worth shit since you left!!! ❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤🎉❤
He was truly one of a kind...and his ability to flirt with GORGEOUS women without offending them or making them uncomfortable was unmatched! And his robot sidekick Geoff was HILARIOUS!! 😁😆🤣🤣
Polina is actually very smart, straight forward and down to earth. Watch the 1986 interview with Letterman. In the interview with Letterman she immediately owns him. Craig however is a different breed. She makes it pretty hard. But he keeps it playful and witty.
I think rather than a sly reference to the two Prague defenestrations she may have been slyly referring to the death of Jan Masaryk (son of T. G. Masaryk), shortly after the Communists took power in 1948... he fell out of a window but it's still unclear if it was suicide, an accident, or actually political murder. Or also a reference to the death of the writer Bohumil Hrabal, who also died by falling out a window.
@@beth12svist that was the 17th century one right? I recall there being three defenestrations in my history book - though I also recall the odd fact that the second one was only a quasi defenestration since all (or maybe all but one) were already dead when tossed out the window. I always thought that was rather funny … funny ‘amusing’ if not quite funny ‘haha’. Though there’s a funny ‘haha’ later - when the HRE (Ferdinand II, I think) raised one of the men who survived the final D to the rank of nobility, dubbing him Count of Highfall, or Baron Falldown, or something like that. I’m sure it wasn’t meant to be funny (the Hapsburgs not being known for humor), but I recall laughing out loud in my AP Modern Euro class.
@Tim Kvenland - I would say she was easily his equal, without all the rudeness some actresses feel the need to put in with him. Several times he had to admit she knew more about a person or subject than him.
Remarkable interview, and she is both beautiful and witty. As is Ferguson, a great bouncing off one another! "Travesty... " lolol. "...memeber of the communist part or declared legally insane. Yeah, that question's not there anymore" Awesome point, ice cold! "I'll do what I have to do" :D So many lines, so little time. Let's hope the Czechs never have a mass protest LOL "You probably have some time coz you don't have a job..." Cracks me up. She is NOT too old to audition.... it sucks how backward the movie industry is.
@@faintsherin4468 and it was RIC Ocasek from the cars. He passed away in 2019 I think. And he was a jerk. He tried to have her cut out of his will even tho she looked after him.
wow. Paulina Porizcova fell for Craig ferguson has his charismatic humor. He is the man ! literally last in the late night line up because he's the best at what he does every woman that meets him smiles and laughs .
She didn't do well on Dancing with the Stars because the younger viewers, who do most of the voting, didn't know who she was. It had been quite a few years since she'd been modeling. Unfortunately, a lot of the voting has little to do with talent and more to do with face recognition. It's kind of like voting for prom queen. It's too bad because Paulina has real talent, as the judges told her.
it's only this year that I've started to appreciate Craig Ferguson's late night show... sure wish he had worked his way as successor to Dave Letterman as the host of the Late Show instead of the apolitical Stephen Colbert who has gone almost Goebbelesque in his praises of Joe Biden today... Craig has this confident charm with women hosts without becoming Conan-creepy because he is not a dork... I praise Craig in his defense of Britney Spears during her darkest time when other late night show hosts made fun of her troubles... Mainly due to his own experience during & recovery from his own dark times... I applaud him for that... He made known who is best to ridicule of and who to express empathy and sympathy with...
@@luisalonsoecheverria they were separated at the time of his death and he had her struck from his will. But she is or was contesting the will. And quite right too. She was mother to two of his children and they were together for 20 years. I guess he was bitter. ;)
Paulina at this age had that Hollywood actress look from the 40s and 50s. A cross between Katharine Hepburn and Lauren Bacall if you will. A stunning-looking woman!
I don't really know, but when Rick died he took her modeling money with him in his will, get separate accounts, thanks Creigh for having Paulina on she's funny also
He wanted a divorce and treated her like shit even though she took care of him up to his death. He wrote her out of his will which will always diminish his stature/legacy to me.
@@buckosoft Yes absolutely but i think she is contesting his last will and testament. The woman mothered 2 of his sons and they were together for like 20-yrs.
