What a privilege to be granted such intimate insight into the life of an actor I’ve admired and enjoyed for so many years. I’m very impressed that both versions of the meeting matched so closely in almost every detail.
Wow, I have tears streaming down my face as I watched this, my husband of 43 years sleeping next to me. I knew I would marry him from our very first date, much like you two. Wonderful story you've shared. Thank you💟
This guy is such a jerk that locals even hate his DOG. I mean what kind of a person is such a rampant *** that people are even intolerant of a dog? Mandy Patinkin that's who. He is universally hated. He lives on Clove Valley Road in High Falls, NY. He is too cowardly to even have a number posted at the end of his driveway as he treats every local like garbage and is worried that someday someone might retaliate.
It's called acting. He's an actor. Mandy is my neighbor. He is a HORRIBLE PERSON and hated by the High Falls, NY locals. He gets charged at least double for every service since he is such an A*******.
Loved the editing Gideon! I was half expecting two totally different stories but they both seem to cherish it so much they remember it well❤️…except the year 😂
There are no words appropriate to describe the beautiful and loving relationship of two people who are equally matched and born to be together. A most lovely remembrance of when they first met and intuitively 'knew' they were meant for each other. THIS is true love.
First, I want to give thanks to be welcomed into the Patinkin’s home. Your loving closeness is very touching, I lost my mom from a very tragic accident awhile back and now my entire family because of politics (they are now part of the MAGA cult, I do not understand how because it’s not how we were raised). These interviews are extraordinary and therapeutic to watch. This family is truly exceptional, the Channel is deserving of an Oscar if there is such an award for RU-vid.
Kathryn, Mandy and Gideon, thanks so much for this. What a treat. I wish I had this of my parents together before they left me. I love Mandy since I was eight years old wishing he was my cardiologist (CH) and I cannot wait to look up Kathryn's and your other things. Precious, perfect video. ❤️
I'm a RU-vid viewer who mostly watches, likes and moves on. The idea of adding to the noise just to offer a random opinion isn't me. I'm compelled here. Having been such a fan of your parents' works for decades, to be drawn in by being reminded of my conversations with my parents and my sons' conversations with me and their father moved me greatly. No pomp and circumstances necessary. Pure, loving, family time. God bless you all. Brooklyn mom
Oh so beautiful. True true love. Thank you both for sharing such wonderful personal memories. A life worth living together for sure. Bravo and congratulations 🎉 😊❤
Wow. If I thought I loved your parents before… that did it. That was so tender and sweet and everlasting. (Brought tears to my eyes). It is, simply put, what a soul needs to be complete; it’s to find love and a life’s companion. What are the chances? This happened in New York City, of all the millions of people in the maze of buildings and buses and subways, your Dad found his way to your Mom. It really is a miracle and a lot of work to stay in love, to carve out a life together. What a treasure. Thank you thank you. Well done.
I love you two even more than I did before. I’ve experienced the same kind of kismet in my own love story, and knew the moment I met my husband that we were meant to be. It was and still is magical, evolving, at times difficult and maddening, but we both cannot imagine being anything other than all the things that we are. I wish everyone knew what it is to love and be loved the way I am, and I know our love transcends the boundaries of this lifetime- how could it be so familiar from the first moment if it were not? A gift of epic proportions, and more to be discovered every day. Love you, Mandy and Karherine. ♥️♥️♥️🌟🌟🌟🌻🌻🌻
Thank you for sharing this special story. I'd wax more eloquent, but I'm too overcome. It reminds me of my dear departed husband and myself - we, too, had a couple of magic word moments, and never looked back. He was and still is my best friend, and no one compares or ever will.
Mandy, your description of that first kiss, was marvelous. I know just what you meant about how you felt. I met my husband online. He lived in Florida and I, in Michigan. After 4 months of emails and hours of phone calls our first date was him flying to Michigan in mid January, bitter cold and snowing. I met him at the airport and he walked up to me and kissed me with a kiss so wonderful I thought I would faint. Those kind of memories, nervousness, the excitement, that first kiss (wow to this day) are a few memories that got us through the few bad times we had. Thank you for such a lovely story. It’s good to see a couple who fell in love many years ago, stuck it out and still love and adore each other.
Awwwww! We just came from my parents' home after spending the day with them and they shared their how-they-met story with my husband and me again tonight....we were all choked up. It's funny and beautiful tender....a soul connection from conversation one. They met in college in Colorado and had a long conversation about football and books and then shared a dance where he leaned over and placed a kiss on her forehead. It was game over. At then end of the date he asked her out for the next Saturday night and she said yes, and he was instead back at her dorm the next day. And the next. And the next. They've been married 58 years now. Beautiful. I love this channel. It makes me happy. God bless you guys. ❤
What a beautiful story, thank you for sharing! My boyfriend and I have been together for 4 years. Prior to meeting him I was the loneliest I’d been in my life, approaching my late 20’s, stuck in a job I hated and feeling life pass me by. One dark winter night I was cooking dinner at the stove and became compelled to close my eyes and whisper a plea, “send him to me.” Very unusual for me, as I do not pray often. Ten minutes later my smoke detector started going off, saying “ low battery” every couple minutes. My ceiling being too high for me to reach I texted my landlord who explained he was out of town, but could he send over a family friend to help? I opened the door to a knock a short time later, and you guessed it! My boyfriend…I feel I called him to me that night! I’ve never known a truer love. I just graduated from RN school and am happier than ever. Please, if you’re feeling lost in life calling for help is worth a shot 😉
If you've never believed in a couple that are fated to be together, you've seen true love in this video. I hope that they have many more wonderful years together. They both possess a certain magic that could have never existed without each other to strike the spark.
Mandy and Kathryn - are you familiar with the Jewish concept of an Ethical Will? Every time I watch one of your videos I feel this is what they are - tidbits of ethical wills teaching values and beliefs and how to be in the world to your children, grandchildren, and future generations. Priceless. Gideon, thank you for doing this. What treasures.
What a treasure to have these intimate stories of your parents. Mine are both gone now and I wish I had asked them/interviewed them like you do. Just so beautiful😢😊.
Truly, truly beautiful. I just love this. The 2 perspectives on the same event. What it meant to both of them. So gorgeous. Thank you for sharing with us.
The way he describes how he felt about her and she reacted to it is beautiful. I love that she said the next man would be the father of her children. It’s funny that they both remember the poems. I love they spent one hour crying. The way he describes the kiss is so wonderful like a dream . I love how she said …he said the holy words “ please be patient with me, I have never made love with anyone I love before. They are so romantic.
From over on the Northwest Side, a Polish gal here in Chicago...and forever a fan-dy (Do your fans call themselves "Fandies?" I hope so!)...I just discovered y'alls channel and thoroughly enjoying the moments you're sharing, which are cerebral, funny, loving, and chaotic, emotional calls to action and fervent calls to love. Have a blessed holiday!
Lovely and thank you for sharing- so beautiful the statement “please be patient…..” I hope to find someone that I won’t let go❤️ Thanks for sharing, so uplifting!
Okay, I adore Mandy Patinkin, and have done for decades. But what I love about this video has little or nothing to do with him as an actor; it's the deep sweetness of the relationship between two people who have been each other's partners for a lifetime, and still recall how that began with such tenderness and humor and wonder. It's lovely, and a privilege to witness.
Thanks for sharing these remarkable, private moments, and I'm glad you both had a good enough sense of self that you could also see who was there for you.
Mandy you made me cry describing your 1st kiss! Straight to the 💘! 😥💔, but in the best possible way. PS: NOW UR MOM JUST MADE ME 😥! I'm gonna have a cry migraine the rest of the day! But, totally worth it, hearing their love story! 😊❤😉👍
To be together for so many years, still remember the details, and despite their differences, fell in love and are still in love!! What a beautiful story!! I admire both of them, for so many reasons!!
You know what? Finding these videos was like finding gold a couple of days ago! OMG they are the best couple I love them 😂 I have always been a huge fan of Mandy’s. I first discovered Mandy was a fantastic actor when I started watching Chicago Hope. There was 1 scene in that entire series that has haunted me for more than 20 years. It was like I was there in the scene watching it play out for real 😳 I felt such a deep, overwhelming sadness when I was watching it, that I cried so much and you know when you nearly choke on your own tears you’re crying so much? It was that sad. That’s how amazing an actor your Dad is. But you know that already🤩❤️ The scene was when he was operating on a patients heart and the patient was dying and Mandy’s character (sorry I can’t remember the two surgeons names it’s been so long) was desperately trying to revive him, and he couldn’t, and then team was telling him to stop, and he didn’t stop until he realised the patient was as dead as a Dodo 🦤 and then Mandy’s character collapsed in devastation to the floor😭😭😭 Oh man, that’s when I discovered Mandy Patinkin and forgot about the other actor completely. Keep these videos coming!💖
Love, love, love the both of you! My husband too told me he would marry me on our first date! That was 42 years ago. Isn't it wonderful when life gives you those special moments to cherish so many years later.
