The Museum of Classic Chicago Television (www.FuzzyMemories.TV) | NBC Network - Rona Barrett Looks at Today's SuperRich [featuring Donald Trump] (1981) 💲 💵 💰 @FuzzyMemoriesTV | Uploaded 8 months ago | Updated 2 hours ago
Here's (most of) an NBC Network special - Rona Barrett Looks at Today's SuperRich (stylized as $uperRich), as hosted by the legendary gossip columnist/TV personality and notably featuring Donald Trump. (All commercial breaks were cut from this recording)
Includes:
Recording coming in just as a segment with Harry B. Helmsley commences; he speaks of his vast real estate holdings, including the Empire State Building
Next segment, Rona interviews fashion designer Diane von Fürstenberg (Furstenberg) about her life and career and how she rose to prominence
On to Chicago where she interviews the publisher of Ebony and Jet magazines, John H. Johnson, who relates how he built his empire and under the circumstances he grew up in; and W. Clement Stone, founder and owner of the Combined Insurance Company of America, who speaks of how he rose to the top of his position
The Steve Miller Band's "Take the Money and Run" introduces the next interview, with Texas-based real estate developer F. Trammell Crow, who relates how he accumulated some of the largest real estate holdings in the country
Recording cuts to next part of show, with Rona explaining the motivation for this look, which leads up to the big moment - an interview with a fresh-faced scion by the name of Donald J. Trump, then beginning his long career; cutting back and forth between him, Helmsley, Stone and Crow
Back to Diane and how she began her career, followed by more with John, Clement and Trammell, before going back to "the" Donald, who's asked about comparisons to his father; Diane, about her mother; and Clement and John speaking about their growing up
Recording cuts to next part, with Rona and Harry at his penthouse over which the bumper title is shown (backing music: "Money" by The Flying Lizards), then she introduces the subject of the American dream vs. reality, and relations on how Stone, Johnson, Crow, Helmsley, Trump and von Fürstenberg attained it and what makes them go on
Recording then cuts to Rona's next subject, the depiction of the super-rich on TV shows vs. the realities of their lives outside their respective ventures; Donald, Trammell, John, Clement, Diane and Harry all speak of how their lives are nothing like those TV depictions, what they have to put up with in their daily lives, family life, and looks into the future for their offspring (in the first of Helmsley's segments, a picture of him with wife Leona Helmsley is shown for a few seconds)
Recording cuts next to ending sum-up by Rona about her six subjects, their differences and similarities, before ending program
Ending credits (with audio for the Eagles' "The Long Run" degraded); and voiceover promo for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson, SCTV Network 90, Barbara Mandrell and The Mandrell Sisters, B.J. and the Bear, and Games People Play by Casey Kasem)
Start of promo for Hill Street Blues, then recording ends
This aired on local Chicago TV on Friday, July 24th 1981 within the 9:00pm to 10:00pm timeframe.
This is from a videotape donated to the Museum of Classic Chicago Television as part of the Dr. William Matviuw collection.
