The Journal

The last word

Broadcast Date: March 10, 1992

Barbara Frum's interview with author Mordecai Richler would be her last. At the time Richler's book Oh Canada! Oh Quebec! was stirring up controversy with its tough stance on Quebec. During the interview, Frum comes across as frail and weak. At one point Richler stops the interview to ask her if she's feeling okay. Frum perseveres and finishes the conversation. After the interview, she calls her husband who takes her to the hospital. Frum has a fever of 103 degrees. The doctor admits her to the hospital immediately.

The last word

• She would die 16 days after her interview with Mordecai Richler.
