The clip reminds me a little of clips of the elderly Louise Brooks being interviewed, a very elderly and as you say somewhat discombobulated person who nevertheless still has "it" in some way, some powerful charisma which is still evident. It's always terrible when a person like this passes, all those memories are gone, and a thread which connects us to awesome creativity from the past is broken. If you knew this person, Peter, then you must be having a hard time over this right now, and I'm very sorry to read about it.
