An Interview With Sabrina

Recorded on 2 October 2003 - listen to the historic interview with Sabrina - a 2 hour conversation in 43 parts.

The conversation took only two enjoyable hours but the editing took twelve. But I hope you thoroughly enjoy Sabrina talking candidly in 2003 about her life and career. The recording has been edited to:

  • improve fluency (i.e. many pauses and "y'knows" were removed with Cool Edit Pro )
  • reduce the frequency of my questions and irritating laughter
  • protect Sabrina's privacy
  • bleep out some names that might not be thrilled at getting mentioned

No editing has been made to change the context of any comment. All recordings are in standard MP3 format, so go for it, Sabrinafans. This is what you've been waiting for!

Not included is the Brooklyn-accented testimony by Sabrina's friend JOE [Updated 29 August 2018: Joseph Peter Crupi ] who claimed he ran with mob bosses in the 60s, was friends with the teamsters, facilitated Sylvester Stallone's 'Rocky' movies, and has friends who know Australian media mogul Kerrie Packer (who tried to go out with Sabrina when she was in Australia)...

Joe said he would happily 'pipe' [a procedure that is, I imagine, not totally pain-free] anyone who caused Sabrina any distress.

Apparently...

So Sabrina-Fans, be reassured. Sabrina is well protected.
