Memorable moments from 60 Minutes

As America mourns the passing of Don Hewitt, the creator of 60 Minutes, we take a look back at some of the more memorable interviews from the groundbreaking show. Here are a few examples:

Mike Wallace conducted this hard-hitting interview of the Shah of Iran in 1976.


In 1979 60 Minutes reported on claims that thousands of Americans suffered health problems due to the swine flu vaccine the US government promoted.


Steve Croft interviewed Bill and Hillary Clinton in 1992 about reports of the future president's infidelity.


Ed Bradley interviewed Michael Jackson in this famous 60 Minutes segment in which the King of Pop admitted to sharing his bed with children.


Anderson Cooper reported on David Beckham's move to the LA Galaxy.

Steve Croft traced Barack Obama's road to the White House.

This was just a small sampling of quality journalism produced by 60 Minutes. What are were your favourite interviews from the programme?
