Kate and Anna McGarrigle on "The Fifth Estate" (April 20, 1977)

Kate and Anna McGarrigle are profiled on the CBC's "The Fifth Estate" on April 20, 1977, in a segment narrated by Adrienne Clarkson. The presentation is amusingly dated in some ways but the segment is interesting because, even though it's very early in their public careers, it lays out quite clearly their attitude toward celebrity that remained largely unchanged from that point on. There are some nice musical fragments as well as video shots of their family (their mother Gaby, Kate's very young children Rufus and Martha) and friends and collaborators. The interviewer in the brief radio interview segment at 4:10 is Rick Moranis, at the time a Toronto DJ known as Rick Allan.
