Merv Griffin discusses death with author Raymond A. Moody, the father of the "Near Death Experience" movement, transforming the world and revolutionizing the way people think about death, and what lies beyond. In 1975 he published the book "Life After Life," which details one hundred fifty people who experienced "clinical death" and were revived. Topics discussed by Raymond Moody include: -Research based on 150 accounts by individuals experiencing death and returning to life. -Deaths by accidents, suicide, illness. -How legally died individuals leave their bodies and view doctors trying to resuscitate them. Guest Viola Horton recalls her death experience in May 1971. Guest Dr. George Richie, the man who inspired Raymond Moody to write his own book on the subject, relates his own death experience moment in December 1943. NOTE: Dr. George Richie's experience was the first contact Raymond Moody had with NDE's (near death experience) during his post-graduate studies and residency in psychiatry at the University of Virginia. This led Moody to investigate the phenomenon of NDE, more, and led him to write "Life after Life" in 1975, and subsequently two more books on the subject. Commercials include: Friskies, TV Guide, Campbell's Soup, Lipton Tea with Don Meredith, ADC Brand Coffee from Maxwell House, Birds Eye.

She reportedly made $2,000 a week (approximately $15,500 in 2012 dollars). At the opening, host Tom Snyder states that as a 19 year old teanager he knew of Candy Barr when he was first working for radio station WRIT in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, and he has been waiting 22 years to finally meet her in person. The early years of Candy Barr is discussed including what it was like growing up on a rural farm, death of her mother when nine years of age, being sexually molested numerous times by the same adult when only five years of age and why she never told anyone about it, running away from home at 12 years of age, first experiences as an exotic dancer, marriage to a robber at the age of 14 and circumstances why she married at that young age, being forced to work as a stripper and prostitute at age 16, working for Barney Weinstein at The Theater Lounge, making the short sex film in 1951 called "Smart Alec," and not done of her own free will. Candy Barr admits that all of the sensational publicity surrounding her was least important. Love to dance, mostly. Tom Snyder discusses with Barr her 15 year conviction on charges of marijuana possession...admitting that presiding Judge Brown took pictures of her in the courtroom. She remembers the police barging in to her apartment and she giving them a small amount of weed...she and her boyfriend also in the apartment arrested. NOTE: At this point in the interview the 1/4" reel to reel tape expires, missing approximately 25 more minutes of discussion along with commercials. What has been archived is quite rare for it is the only instance that is known of Candy Barr appearing on a television talk show and discussing her life. An hour-long talk show hosted by Tom Snyder. Network television's first entry into late-late-night programming on weeknights Monday thru Thursday, usually broadcasting on tape 1 AM to 2 AM. "Tomorrow" was expanded to 90 minutes on September 16, 1980.
