Talk show host Larry King told People magazine his toughest interviews were Demond Wilson, who starred in the TV series "Sanford and Son," and actor Robert Mitchum.

"The worst was Wilson," said King. "He didn't want to be there, and he was brash and obnoxious. He wasn't very nice."Mitchum "just gave me one-word answers," King said in People's Oct. 22 issue. "In a half hour I must have asked him 832 questions. I was down to asking him, `Well, do you think it's going to rain tomorrow?' "

Nevertheless, King said, "I like Mitchum a lot."
