Overview
- Gloria Steinem died at age 92 in New York City and, within a day of her passing, Netflix posted her episode of Famous Last Words for public viewing.
- The interview was filmed in a private session with executive producer and host Brad Falchuk in February 2025 and was held in trust for release after her death.
- Netflix says the conversation covers Steinem’s lifelong work on feminism, the shared roots of sex and race caste systems, Indigenous cultures, cross-boundary organizing, and her personal loves, family and regrets.
- Falchuk and the series’ producers emphasize the show’s closed-door format and Kennedy Center archival role as a way to preserve an intimate final message rather than stage a public performance.
- Audible plans to release a separate recorded public appearance by Steinem on Sept. 17, 2026, offering another recent account of her views for listeners.
