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.😂👍
She has eyes you could drown in. When I was 12 there was a photo of her at the Coranado Hotel in San Diego. I've had a crush on her since then. That was 60 yrs. ago.
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.
an honest to God face. it's almost as if she lacks ego. what you see is delicate sincere modest and just plain genuine haunting beauty and presence and grace.
If she only knew that many years after her death she would become known through a romantic film. The music is absolutely sublime. Unspeakably beautiful. Maud as a young woman is simply stunning.
An extraordinarily beautiful woman. Her eyes are filled with a haunting sadness that melts the heart. It's easy to see how Richard Matheson fell so deeply in love with her and had to express what he was feeling by writing one the most heartbreaking love stories of all time. Thank you so much for making this video.
Its hard to decide which is more captivating... Her incredibly sad eyes, her absolutely amazing profile, or the way she seemingly looks right through you while you beg to know what she's thinking. It's almost frightening how images from over 100 years ago can steal your attention in such a way that you could stare at each one for hours and hours and never get tired of it. John Barry's music is the perfect soundtrack to any image of her.
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 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.
Rare phenomenon of art conjunction...a book, which was inspired by photography, inspired a screenplay and film that had that music. Just incredible. Elusive.
Records of Maud Adams shows she was not a lesbian, historical records of her childhood days at school found she made friends with other girls but not in her adult life. The film Somewhere in Time was based on her life.
@@ronholfly In other videos of her here on RU-vid, Thats all they talk about. That she was a Lesbian. No boyfriend? No husband? Only with woman always. Dont know.
I have always loved the movie "Somewhere In Time"...but to actually see the pictures of the real lady who inspired the book and the resultant movie is really amazing. Maude Adams was really one very pretty lady....A very nice tribute!!! Thanks!!!
Maude my dear, although we have never met, i feel i have known you all of my life, when i look at you, i see a beautiful woman, full of love, i somehow know i was in love with you in another life,rest beautiful one, i know one day we will meet, love conquers all. Louie Vaccaro, las vegas.
What a striking woman! I too fell upon a photo of hers that was so riveting that I cross referenced her. I just had to know who she was! I was moved to learn the same photo was the inspiration for Somewhere In Time’s character. It was the first romantic movie as a child that brought me to tears, his desperation to reach a woman long gone was so poignant. This is a testament to the power of beauty and presence captured in a photo. I completely understand the writer’s inspiration now, as I too was drawn by a picture to search for her.
Absolutely beautiful lady wouldn't it be great if we could go back in time to see her plays everything bout that film makes me want to and Maude inspired that sensational film God bless this angel the first Peter pan love you madly xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
From this wonderful collection, one can readily see how Maude Adams could so inspire the imagination of Richard Matheson to write his 1975 Sci Fi novel, Bid Time Return, Many thanks for assembling the collection for us.
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.
I'm sorry, I know this video is about the legendary Maude Adams. But is your first name really Nefertiti? If so, wow, how lovely. She is like one of my most favourite queens and historical personages. Saw her bust twice in Germany.
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..
oh my, that was so much more than a tribute, you have created a beautiful timeless work of art, maude adams and john barry would be proud of that one, thank you , bravo
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.
I hope she can see this tribute to her grace and beauty. She must be packing theatres in heaven right now. I hope so cos i'am buying a ticket when its my time.
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.
I've watched this many times and I'm always captured by her simple beauty. What I didn't really see was, her profile is just spectacular! Her lines are almost perfect, if there is such a thing.
@@speedviper47 I've been fortunate to go to the Grand Hotel. Even spent the night or two. Of course they have a picture of 'Elise McKenna'... but no Maude.
What an absolutely beautiful lady. I find her more beautiful than any of today's actresses. I loved her clothes, and the music was gorgeous. (I cannot believe John Barry did not win an Academy Award for the "Somewhere in Time" music.) Thank you for posting.
There are so many people I would loved to have met, back then. Time travel! Ah, yes! Yes, that would have been quite the thing, if only it could be done. Why do I feel as though I lost something when watching these people, the times of black and white movies. I think we all fall lin love with them.
The music from the movie fits her so well. When I hear the music, I now think of Maude Adams. Not taking anything away from Jane Seymour she is quite beautiful as well. Beautiful video!
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.
Maude Adams was my 1st cousin, thrice removed. My great grandfather, Harry S. Kiskadden was her first cousin. Apparently, she was very kind to my grandfather and his brother when she visited them in Detroit. She is my one famous relative! And I'll take it. Thanks for he excellent video.
one of my favorite movies and books. The book takes place at Hotel Del Coronado. When I went there, I walked the hallway where the museum was. I got an eerie feeling! Such a beautiful woman!!
Just differently, Joyce (In everyday life; and I very much doubt Maude Adams wore those elaborate beaded gowns or had berries in her hair when at home having her morning coffee…) ;-)
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.
None of the starlets today could hold a candle to maude Adams. She had eyes that could move mountains and calm a storm. Tears well up because her soulful beauty. She was a real woman.
Maude and ALL the women of that day wouldn’t understand why they label REAL women as: milk givers, cis women, birthing women, or bleeding women. We proudly give birth, and yes we do bleed as real women. And we aren’t a bunch of men injecting hormones to alter our genitalia along with plastic surgery, in order to emulate us REAL women. Women are the most biologically complicated and sophisticated beings on the face of the earth, and cutting and pasting one’s body parts doesn’t even come close to becoming a woman. Those beautiful women would think society has lost its mind, and I would agree!❤
" eyes that could move mountains and calm a storm."..... You need to look around you. There's millions of equally beautiful women around today especially in the movie world. I think it's the desire for time travel that's moving people here.
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.
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.
A very nice tribute. I can see the resemblance of the character in that movies to her. Her eyes were charming and deep like an ocean, I would like to see more videos about her
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.
David, this is a most moving tribute to a beautiful woman who graced late 19th and early 20th Century stages with a presence quite unlike that of any other actress of her time or even ours. She set the bar. I love what you have done to commemorate this lovely woman who will always be remembered Somewhere in Time--in any time, forever.
Thank you, David. I often use her image before me, and the glorious melodies from the film, Somewhere In Time, as background mood music when I fashion many of my love poems - such is how she has affected me. And then when I saw your moving tribute I was taken back to that place in time (or so it seemed) where she lived and I did not want to come back. I then knew how Richard Collier of the film felt. Thank you again, my friend, for this loving tribute to the most beautiful woman to have ever graced a stage. ---tom---
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).
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 .
Son regard si profond, parfois si triste, semble perdu dans le souvenir d'un être tant aimé... et peut-être disparu. J'espère, si c'est le cas, qu'elle l'a retrouvé... quelque part dans le temps.
