She was beautiful. She was actually a lesbian,and was buried with the woman she loved. Being a lesbian back then must of been so difficult. Not sure whether public knew when she was alive or after her death.
My aunt would put the whole street of neighborhood kids for a ride in the back of her pickup truck every night, then stop by the Dairy Queen on the Avenue.
A rare and enigmatic beauty. Maybe - just maybe - there are people who should live forever. It's easy to see how Richard Matheson was inspired to write 'Bid Time Return,' which was later the book behind the movie, 'Somewhere In Time.' Maude Adams and Jane Seymour do not share a great resemblance, but there is a commonality that is unmistakable. "Beauty of whatever kind, invariably excites the sensitive soul to tears."(Edgar Allan Poe).
Of course yes, I feel like I lived in this era and by God, I wish with all my soul to go back in time. Sometimes I am absolutely sure that yes, I lived in this decade. She without a doubt was and always will be the most beautiful and sweet woman. I love you for eternity.
What an absolutely beautiful and moving tribute, to a very stunning pretty lady. Her soulful sad eyes memorize me. The music adds to my emotions too. Well done. Love the movie.
For me she is most beautiful women I've ever seen,such a mesmerising beauty and the enchanting music and photos of Maude do her justice.. Her sad but beautiful eyes just touch your soul..
Jane Seymour CERTAINLY did her justice! As, it appears, most people viewing this video already know something I just learned (from another video) how Maude Adams' photo had captivated science fiction author Richard Matheson, inspiring him to write the book that inspired the movie Somewhere in Time. This is a great tribute to the woman who, indirectly, basically inspired one of my favorite films of all time.
My grandmother, Edith Butts, traveled & performed with Maude Adams around the change from the 1800's to the 1900's. I regret not learning more from Grandmother before she died in 1969. That was also the same year I graduated from high school. Recently, I inherited Grandmother's journals from 1904 on till about 1920. I haven't learned much about her travels, but right now I am trying to read her first diary from 1904. Grandmother was about 11 then. I appreciate anything I can learn about Maude Adams & her art. My daughter, Alice, was a lesbian who, unfortunately, died 10 days before her May 1, 2015, 30th birthday. Unfortunately, I didn't know enough about Maude Adams. Alice would have loved it!❤
I kinda think youre all getting carried away. There are as many equally beautiful women around today. Some even more so. I suspect its just nostalgia and the desire for time travel back to a better time which makes this presentation so appealing. And it is a well put together presentation. No doubt about that.
"I want to be alone," Maude once declared, as if time had slipped into sweet oblivion. The sun was shining, the sea waves are still crashing against the reef rocks and a cold northerly wind is blowing in the same direction. When decades later they observe how human memory easily forgets a fragile woman, mysteriously shy and emotionally colored in the pleasant idyllic time in which she lived, I can't help how humanly she behaved in front of other people. She knew how to reach the very bottom of her possibilities both in everyday life and in her profession. She was generous, well-read in every way, she knew how to pretend. She loved her solitude, in which she so liked to shut herself up in the imagination of the next great role she was to play. She was not blindly drawn into the tragedy, on the contrary, her charm, body movement and eye contact created an electrifying attraction in the audience. If you were to delve into its library, you would find the names of the greatest authors of world literature. She could recite poems by Shakespeare or Voltaire. Just as she admitted signs of talent in literature, the same was true in classical music, Ludwig van Beethoven being her favorite. She could play the piano, so she had a musical ear. When San Francisco was hit by an earthquake in 1905, Maude was among the first to send financial aid and promised to help the city with her new play. In short, she was one of the greatest personalities of the 20th century. I am sad that human reason is so quickly forgotten about the fragile looking Maude, there is not only sadness in her eyes, but happiness and a smile on her lips.
A timeless beauty. This video explains the origins of *Bid Time Return* and *Somewhere in Time* far better than any words can. Over a century later, the woman is still breaking hearts with those lovely eyes, with that lovely face.
Ok this is MY OPINION and mine only..as a gay man I think there were three (so far) truly beautiful woman.. Maude Adams and Deloris Heart. Yes Rachael Welch (RIP) was pretty, but MY opinion was that Maude and Deloris were truly beautiful
She is the most stunning woman I have ever seem and I have admired her for many many years now her eye transfix you. What it would have been like to have lived when she was still around. She was born back in 1872 11th November in Salt Lake City, Utah, United States and passed away on the 17th July 1953 in Tannersville, New York. I would have loved to have been there in that time and met her. Thankyou for sharing this beautiful Tribute to Maude Adam's. I love the music from Somewhere In Time as well. Another great film going way back in time everybody's dream to be able to be transported to a different time in life with two brilliant actor's Christopher Reeve's and Jane Seymour. A lot of fantastic music John Barrymore composed. Another great piece of music I love is from the film Out Of Africa starring Meryl Streep and Robert Redford this music sound's quite like the music from Somewhere In Time my husband also thought this. I wish you could really go back in time with my parents no longer here and my husbands parents gone. They have been gone so many years now but not a day goes by we never forget them wonderful parents they were. They are always in our thoughts.😂👍
*Adams's personality appealed to a large audience and helped her become the most successful and highest-paid performer of her day,* *with a yearly income of more than one million dollars during her peak.*
I saw a very short film test of Maud Adams. She was an old lady then. She still had a beautiful smile. Sadly, she refused to finish the film test. She left the studio and acting for good. At least I seen her spark of smile and movement in that few seconds of film. At least, we have pictures of her to admire this beautiful amazing lady.
She retired in 1918 prior to wide use of film. There is one clip of her doing a screen test in 1938..but it's silent. If you google "Maude Adams Screen Test" you can view it.
Thank you for your tribute to Maude Adams . Many images have joy & happiness in them but then some seem full of melancholy for some reason . A rare combination of beauty and talent .
My goodness, the very first picture showing her as a child, takes my breath. Her eyes, the smile has the mystery she was in her whole life, and still is. Eternal love - no other words in my mind.
Thank you for these wonderful photos (those eyes, those eyes). Adding the incredible music from the movie added to the experience of seeing the inspiration of the character.
Beautiful on the inside too. She donated her farm in Ronkonkoma Long Island to the Sisters of the Cenacle. She is buried there. The community had to sell the property. It is now a retirement home for priests.
One final observation: her eyes are truly mesmerizing as if you can see the depths of her soul. An incredible gift to the world......Would have really enjoyed seeing her in person.
