Absolutely brilliant stories from one of the greatest and most underrated actors ever. Please post every bit of video you have of Cameron, he has known and worked with everyone!
Priceless, and how can you not love Cameron Mitchell? Worked for Ford Hathaway, and de Toth (his great role?) in the brillant and underrated Monkey on my back.
Era y es mi actor favorito en la serie de El gran Chaparral .Me encantaba .Al ver este video con su voz original , no puedo creer q' se haya ido hace tanto tiempo ❤️😔😢😢
I just realized that Cameron Mitchell had a bit part in an adult film back in 1983 called Dixie Ray Hollywood Star (1983). He portrayed a hard nosed but laid back police detective. IMDB doesn't list this film credit. However, Cameron is listed by name in the credits at the end of the film. He shared screen time with John Leslie and as I watched the two exchange lines, I laughed so hard because I was like that is Cameron Mitchell in a skin flick from 1983. However, true to Cameron Mitchell, it was a great scene and John Leslie did a great job as well! I am not sure how the hell they got him to do it but it didn't seem to hurt his Hollywood career... LMAO!
Fue y seguirá siendo uno de los grandes actores de gran chaparral lástima que ya haya partido de estas tierras paz en su tumba aún hoy en día gracias a la tecnología puedo ver esta gran serie del gran chaparral cuál me trae muchos recuerdos
I read that Victor McClaughlin was told by Ford that he,Victor, had the day off from the filming of '''The Informer.''' Ford knew Victor would drink on his day off. He then called Victor to come in on his(VM)day off to shoot the scene which was Ford's plan all along.. He knew Victor would be hungover & Ford could use that for the character's disorientation.
Terrific. Thanks for posting this. What Mr. MItchell says about Ford looking for accidents also applies to the work of Orson Welles and Jean Renoir, who were both big big fans of Mr. Ford.
I first saw Cameron Mitchell in a film when the nuns at the Catholic school I attended showed to my 3rd grade class. I cannot remember the name of the film. I do remember it was about a pioneer family traveling West. The parents were killed. The father was played by Cameron Mitchell and the mom was. Played by Glynis Johns. The movie was originally released in 1957.
jc6594 "Today Commemorates Cameron Mitchell's 100th Birthday" People here are disparaging his appearance and personal habits. I think he looks damn good for a man that age.
Love Cameron what a brilliant actor. But this shows what drinking and smoking can do to your looks. Cameron was gorgeous when younger. His lookalike son Cameron Jr is almost the same age as his dad now and looks fantastic and is a testament to what taking care of yourself can do.
INSISTO!!!..todos stos videos,tan hermososcon nuestros actores retros. Deberian venir traducidos...es como traer un pastel de cumpleaños, y NO gozar comiendolo...frustrados!!
He liked to bet on the ponies, and he could drink his share, but I've never seen a credible source say he had "crippling alcoholism." How crippling could it be; he worked steadily almost till the day he died.
2 thoughts: 1) It might have been a good directorial technique, but to allow the actor to go the rest of his life thinking he flubbed this crucial scene is just simply mean-spirited. 2) My Mother came ashore with the 1944 U.S. Philippine invasion force before MacArthur “returned”. Neither my Dad (Navy) nor my Mother (Army) had any respect for “Dugout Doug”. But, they loved Eisenhower, Halsey, & Nimitz.
@Sunshine Baker Actually Cameron Mitchell did a porn movie in 1983. It was called "Dixie Ray, Hollywood Star." He didn't have any porn scenes himself, but it was a hardcore porn film about a murder mystery in the 1940s. They released it in a hard R-rated version called "It's Called Murder, Baby" as well.
