It's rare that 60 Minutes interviews someone once, practically unheard of to interview the same person three times, but that's what happened with Denzel Washington. As he prepares to star in one of the most anticipated films of the year, Gladiator II, we look back at his journey from stage actor to blockbuster star, director and producer.

In 2024, romance – a genre once relegated to the back corners of bookstores – might just be saving the publishing industry. But while more and more readers are looking for love between their covers, few are reaching for titles by one of the first giants of the genre, Dame Barbara Cartland, author of over 600 romances, colloquially known as the “Queen of Romance,” and a favorite writer of Princess Diana. While her work has fallen out of fashion, Cartland's legacy can tell us a lot about the...

In 2023, Anderson Cooper reported that a large number of antiquities in the Metropolitan Museum of Art's collection had come to the world-class museum by way of theft. Ancient art had been looted from Cambodian temples fifty years ago and the Cambodian Government wanted them back. But as Cooper discovered, returning the stolen goods was no simple matter – a lesson that another 60 Minutes correspondent had learned two decades prior. In 2002, Ed Bradley traveled to Greece and England to cover...

One of the biggest stories in sports may be happening off the field – and on betting apps. As 60 Minutes correspondent Jon Wertheim reported earlier this year, what was once done in the shadows is now as much a part of the spectator experience as hot dogs and foam fingers. Placing wagers on everything from point spreads to the color of gatorade bottles is now fully legal in most states. But the popularization of sports betting has brought a new wave of concern over gambling addiction – a...

Before Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg, there was Adam Osborne and Jerry Sanders. You may not be familiar with their names, but the brash business leaders of Silicon Valley of the early 1980s understood that technology had the capacity to change all of our lives. In this episode, we explore what they got right, what they got wrong, and how lessons learned from early Silicon Valley might help us learn how to navigate the advent of artificial intelligence.

In the early 20th Century, there was no bigger celebrity than first daughter, Alice Roosevelt, daughter of President Theodore Roosevelt. She captured the attention of the nation with care-free, hard-partying ways and eccentricities, like her habit of carrying around a pet snake. Songs were written about her and a color was even named in her honor. On top of that, she married a future Speaker of the House and had an enduring affair with another influential member of Congress. It was a big deal...

Veteran 60 Minutes correspondent Mike Wallace once said that, in all his years as a journalist, very few interviews stayed with him like his time with Clint Hill, a former U.S. Secret Service agent on duty the day President John F. Kennedy was assassinated. During that interview, Hill stunned Wallace -- and the nation -- by admitting he felt responsible for the president's death. Hill would later say it was the first time he had ever spoken publicly about that day, and that his emotional...

Name a successful comedian of the last five decades and chances are, they got their start on Saturday Night Live -- under the direction of Lorne Michaels. As SNL enters its 50th season, we share never-before-heard audio from Lesley Stahl's 2004 interview with the show’s famously private creator and executive producer, who allowed 60 Minutes cameras unique behind-the-scenes access. Stahl also spoke with Amy Poehler, Tina Fey and Seth Meyers as they pitched, wrote and rehearsed sketches up...

Taylor Swift rarely grants journalists access to her life. But when she was just 21 years old, she invited 60 Minutes inside her home and on tour to see firsthand how she was revolutionizing the music business. Now, for the first time, we hear previously unreleased audio. While Lesley Stahl and a 60 Minutes team spent long days with Swift in both Nashville and Los Angeles, only thirteen minutes was broadcast on television. As we take a "second look," these conversations help us better...

When Morley Safer traveled to West Virginia in 1975 to report on a fight over books in schools, he couldn't have known how that conflict would help lay the blueprint for many contemporary challenges over what students are allowed to read. In our first "second look," we revisit a battle that informs our current day culture wars by talking to the people who bore witness fifty years ago. Plus, insights from a 60 Minutes producer on his latest reporting on book banning in 2024. See Privacy...
