Susie Buffett's only TV interview Oct 06

“Why business loves Charlie Rose” discusses Rose’s interview with Susie Buffett, Warren’s wife.
Rose’s interview with Buffett’s wife, Susie — three months before her unexpected death in 2004 — was both authentic and touching. It was the only TV interview of her life; she gave a glimpse of why Warren treasured her and how they made an unconventional marriage work. It was one of Rose’s least affected, most nuanced performances; mention it to [Buffett friend Bill] Gates and you can hear him well up a little.
Below is the interview. I remember watching it when it originally aired and thinking that she seemed like a really amazing lady. Warren really does know how to pick ‘em.

Smart people surround themselves with remarkable people. Warren is obviously no exception.

I just read this article in Fortune last week and made a mental note to find this interview and watch. Thanks for posting.
It’d be interesting to see one of you guys sit down with Charlie. The recent interview with Marc Andreesen was fantastic.

Susie apparently shared Warren with another woman for decades. After Susie’s death, Warren married his “mistress”. Whether this bespeaks Susie’s virtues or not, we of course cannot know. The full story is fascinating and, strangely, barely unseemly.
