As a confused gay kid, that role was really significant for me. He did a LOT of great work in his life, but his JODY was my favorite. (And I loved Kathleen Hellman, too)
The scene where is boyfriend breaks up with him just before he's getting his sex change, and he takes all the pills, then the old man tells him the beautiful story about the loves of his life who he has lost. That scene chokes me up every time. 💗
Love you so much Mr Crystal. My dad passed during Trump's insane term...everything you say and do reminds me of my dad, especially when you talk about baseball, thank you. He loved you. We love you. Xo
Billy Crystal beaming about getting legend Larry Doby to sign a baseball while there are a number of signed baseballs sitting on the shelf behind him. So yeah, I guess Billy Crystal has asked for a few autographs.
His book is so beautiful, funny, honest, and heart wrenching. If you enjoy a good read, it’s so worth it. I read it maybe 15 years ago, but it may be available as an audiobook.
I keep waiting for someone to go creative on the “rest of your life in 5 words” question- like, “My left arm is tingling,” or, “What does *this* button do?”.
@@michelemathot8833: Let me see what I can say. It began as a rumor, in America, news from New York. What I knew. An American C.I.A. scientist with a lab in Wuhan worked for years to weaponized a virus. Don't think that's a strange weapon, when America was founded by spreading Dark Ages diseases from Europe to the natives. A mutating virus isn't evolutionary as a singular life-form, it will mutate and keep coming back, weakening a society, not looking like a frontal assault. I wanted to move to another city, living in Welland Ontario, where I was a mayoral candidate, complaining about the biker gangs that run the city. There is so much bad health here from meth-heads people who visit say what's wrong with this city. When friends said they were told they had to go home because of a lock-down, I hired them to help me move. Gas was 54 cents a liter. When I went to U-Haul they weren't sure they'd be open, giving me a head office number in Kentucky. When I called she was angry, saying they were declared an essential service, getting a phone call from a senator. She said the price of beef and cattle dropped 75% in one day, Republicans playing her state against Texas. That was a strange phone call for me to be part of. When I moved next to Niagara Falls the lock-down was still on. I could ride my bike and be the only person at the Falls and all the attractions, having it all for myself, another strange time as a senior. Supermarket shelf stock had a lot of 50% off as people stopped shopping in person. Municipal and regional buses were free. I tripped around wherever I wanted to go, having all the peninsula tourist and scenic hot-spots to myself. I could keep going, but this is for you. Everyone should be wearing a mask if you are in a room with other people. You should disinfect your hands when you enter a building and social distance all the time. The virus can travel in warm air for a quarter mile and survive on a dry surface for 24 hours. If you get it in your eyes, nose or mouth you will become infected. Some videos have disappeared, but I suggest you search You Tube for "American scientist Wuhan virus". Animals can get it. It's not going to go away any time soon. As it mutates it continues to live in different ways. With proper precautions, I would say live your life the way you want to. And I hope you are stock-piling food. America depends too much on imports that are going to dry up. Despite all this hardship, there is still a great peace to be found in our eternal lives, beyond any time you have to spend inside. We all live in the land of the new rising sun, for everyone.
I think Billy missed a trick here by not saying that the best sandwich was “a nice MLT-mutton, lettuce and tomato- where the mutton is nice and leeeaaannn…”
What's the best sandwich? Billy: "A nice MLT. Mutton, lettuce, and tomato. Where the mutton is nice Leeean, and a tomatoes ripe, they're so perky ... I love that."
"you can only listen to one song for the rest of your life", I'm gonna need some more information. Is that "this song will play continuously for the rest of your life" or "if you hear music it will always be this song"?
When I was a kid I used to watch old classic comedians who's humor escaped me. Like Allen King, Mort Sahl and Milton Burl. I think young people today will think the same of Crystal.
Sandwhichone? Avocado and garlic hummus, either with open face flax bread toast spread with a little butter, & 1/2 avocado/slice, and hummus on top, or simply put hummus in the pit hole (1/2 avo), and spoon it out together with desired amount of hummus! (without the bread) mmmmmm!
Come on Billy everybody knows the best sandwiches in nice MLT - mutton, lettuce and tomato sandwich, where the mutton is nice and lean and the tomato is ripe. They're so perky, I love that
Not only does the wonderful Billy Crystal happen to have a poster of his Harry met Sally movie (in another language, to his right) &n she's holding a big red Apple...but he's got a Lot of balls! & I betcha' All of Billy's balls are signed! :-)
