'She got very upset!' Andrew Denton (pictured) revealed the one interview he still feels 'terrible' about almost 16 years later
'I went to Washington to interview her, and her husband had died, and she'd nursed him as he died,' he recalled.
'I don't remember the explicit question that I asked, but it was a very personal question about that, and she got very upset, and she said, 'This is what you came for, isn’t it!'
