Lena Zavaroni - rare interview from 1989

Gone 10 years now Lena. You are remembered not only for your lovely voice but for your fragile and gentle nature. Still in our hearts. R.I.P.

I remember the first time I saw Lena on TV. I was 6 years old and became so enchanted by her voice. My mom bought the LP for me and I have taken care of it so tenderly all these years. Not a scratch it has become, and YES I still have the disc left. The saddest thing is that Lena died on my happiest day of my life, my wedding day on October 1, 1999. Is it fate, faith? In December I will sing her song "End of the world" at the choir concert, I hope Lena smiles from the sky then.

Lena was such a wonderful, talented singer. She was such a troubled soul who couldn't escape her demons. Her death at such a young age was so very sad. She was such a sweet, gentle lady.

I am from the US and she traveled over here when I was just four years old, and made several television appearances. I remember my parents called me over to watch this new young girl sing, and we all loved her. I had forgotten all about her until watching all the videos of her. I'm so sorry to hear she had a life of horrible suffering. She would have been a world-wide diva had she never gotten that horrible affliction.

An amazing talent……such an awful ignorance back then. She seemed so lovely

so sad she died at only 35 .. rip angel

How incredibly sad it is to see her as she was in '89-- looking well and primed for a comeback, newly-married, so full of promise... and to know what tragedy lay ahead for her: the loss of her marriage, her career, her health and ultimately... her life. Simply heartbreaking. RIP, sweet Lena.

Beautiful young woman who had many demons. I watched the documentary of her life and it was so very sad. Am amazed there hasn't been a film made about her. She was the biggest child star we had in the UK in the 70's and the youngest person to star in the Royal Variety Show. A lovely girl with a remarkable voice. Rest in peace Lena Zavaroni.🌹

Yeah I miss her too,a lovely lass sadly missed died to young very sad, great singer.♥️

This was so tragic. Such a fragile and sensitive girl. I remember reading about her marriage troubles and how she wouldn't eat with her husband and kept on starving. But nothing changes. Lena mentions about society and the pressures on women to look slim - it's just as bad now if not worse.

Very sad story. Lena was such a kind beautiful soul.

A wonderful girl my sister wrote 2 songs for her and said her voice was spectacular

I found this very upsetting, loved Lena, rip angel

Lovely lady & what a voice. Such a shame her passing. Rest in peace angel.

I'd been meaning to Google Lena's name for months and today I've done just that...so sad to hear she died in 1999 and from complications of her long standing battle against Anorexia. My 4 siblings and myself didn't have a great deal growing up but one thing we did have was music. Mum had her first album Ma! (He's Making Eyes At Me) and was one of the most popular records us kids would make up performance and dance routines (in costume) to. R.I.P. Lena and thanks so much for making my childhood a happier one. ♥♥♥
