Adrienne Barbeau

On December 12, 1974, just a few weeks prior to Christmas, actress Adrienne Barbeau made an appearance alongside Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show. During their conversation, Carson naturally inquired about Christmas gift-giving and receiving, as Barbeau was a co-star on the television show “Maud.” Barbeau openly shared that her various lovers had an inclination for unconventional presents, such as a fire extinguisher, a complete set of encyclopedias, and items for car repairs.

Despite the peculiar nature of these gifts, Carson shifted the focus and playfully delved into the topic of Barbeau’s multiple lovers. He tactfully prefaced his questions with, “It’s none of my business but…”. Demonstrating her poise, Barbeau mirrored his coy demeanor and handled the inquiry discreetly, opting not to divulge any names.
