"Person to Person" was a popular television program in the United States that ran from 1953 to 1961. Well-respected news reporter Edward R. Murrow hosted it until 1959, interviewing celebrities in their homes. The long list of guests included then-Senator John F. Kennedy and his wife Jacqueline, Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, Marlon Brando, Liberace, Sammy Davis Jr., Groucho and Harpo Marx, Margaret Mead, Harry Truman, Marilyn Monroe, W.C. Handy, and John Steinbeck. In the last two years of its run, the host was Charles Collingwood.

Although Murrow is best remembered for his hard-hitting radio and television reporting on programs such as "Hear It Now" and "See It Now" and for publicly confronting Senator Joseph McCarthy, it should also be remembered that on "Person to Person" he pioneered the TV interview of a celebrity.

"The Best of Person to Person" is distributed on DVD by Koch Vision.
