The Joy Behar Interview (Page 1 of 3)
 An Interview with Joy Behar and her Daughter Eve
Joy Behar is an American comedian, writer, actress, and a co-host of the talk show, The View.
In the fall of 2009, Behar began hosting her own celebrity news and commentary program, The Joy Behar Show,
on CNN's sister network HLN. For Joy, heart disease is a family affair. Despite having lost both parents
to heart disease, Joy’s mother Rose was not prepared when a sudden heart attack struck in her fifties.
Now, Joy and her daughter Eve (a talented ceramic artist) are challenging women who have or are at risk
for heart disease to be prepared, and better their odds of surviving should a heart attack strike
without warning. And they caution women, “Don’t stop there.” Embrace this second chance at life
by living a more heart-healthy lifestyle.
Gary Barg sits down with Joy and Eve to talk about family, love and heart health.
Gary Barg:
How has heart disease affected
your family?
Joy Behar: I
am the recipient of a gene, I think
possibly, because my mother had her
first heart attack when she was 50
years old. An uncle, who is
her brother, had a sudden heart
attack and died at the age of 58.
Both my grandparents on my mother’s
side died of heart attacks.
So, there you have it. It is
not a pretty picture.
Gary Barg: What
do women need to know about the
risks of having sudden heart attacks
and what should they do if they
think they are experiencing one?
Joy Behar:
I think it is sort of logical in a
way. If you feel like you are
having a heart attack, you should
call 911 immediately. Bayer
has an aspirin awareness campaign
going on and has put out a tote
which you can carry in your bag.
Tell him about it, Eve.
