Richard Pryor: I Ain't Dead Yet, #*%$#@!!
smokingsides
In this documentary based on Richard Pryor, Whoopi, looking really good, smokes during the interview portion -- while offering up her thoughts on Pryor. At one point she brings the cigarette to her lips and starts to inhale, but sadly, it cuts away. The smoldering cigarette can be seen in Whoopi's hand during various other times throughout the 70 minute documentary, but it is edited so that we never get to see her actually smoking it. |
