If you type "Michael Parkinson" into the search box on You Tube and look at all the search results, you will find short clips of interviews he did with film legends Bette Davis, Gloria Swanson and Ingrid Bergman in 1975, 1978 and 1973 respectivley. I've seen them and they are worth a look!

There is also an interview he did with Diana Rigg in 1972 and one with Kenneth Williams and Maggie Smith from 1973. There are several other Kenneth interviews too. There also interviews with Peter Cook, Dudley Moore and Tommy Cooper.

I did try to find other sought-after ones like John Wayne, Orson Welles, Anthony Quinn, Shirley MacLaine, Jack Lemmon, David Niven etc, but nothing came up - though there is time yet!

Give it a go!

Thanks for the tip. By typing simply Parkinson I got >4500 clips. The interview I was hoping for was with John Mills at age 93, but it's not there. That was one of the sweetest hours I've ever spent in front of the TV. Parkinson is THE BEST!
