Leta Powell Drake Interview with Rory Calhoun (1983) 

She made him feel good, that's a good interviewer 😀

Born in 58, I was named after him. My parents liked his movies and him.

I remember Rory was on a Gilligan Island show, he was a big time hunter, the hunt was for Gilligan. Good times! RIP Rory....

Dang, he was very popular when I was a young man. I look at actors like him and think, "Damn, look how old these people look." Then it dawns on me that I am 71, and that ain't no spring chicken. Rory died in 1999. RIP.

THERE HE IS!!!! SITTING AND TALKING THERE, LIKE A LITTLE RORY CALHOUN!!!!

He had a strong on screen chemistry with Marilyn Monroe in River of No Return (1954), so it's nice to see him recognize her unique talent.

Liked Rory in the Texan,and all his westerns. He had such a presence about him. He was also very handsome. Watched him throughout my life. One thing about it, we are both getting old.

I adored this actor loved him in all his roles

He was always so HANDSOME! An amazing talent! 💙👍🏽🤠

River no Return, 1954, with Robert Mitchum and Marilyn Monroe..... Great movie for me!!

Charming, gracious... Thank you for posting this wonderful interview!

In the spring of '49 I won second place in an English equestrian riding event with the California Rangers at the Riverside Stables on Los Feliz and Riverside Drive. The prize was a two-week vacation at Rory Calhoun's Sespe Creek Ranch near Ojai, California. Rory and Lita appeared one afternoon and the other kids attending the ranch decided to "initiate" Rory by pushing him into the swimming pool. Rory was wearing a gold wristwatch and I was concerned that it would get ruined. So, I tried to pull it off of his left wrist. The result was getting lifted and thrown so hard into the pool by him that I got a bloody nose. Seeing the red stream on my face when I surfaced, had Rory reaching out to pull me onto the deck. That's my memory of Rory. He had a "half-brother" (Frank) who resided in Ojai and I had occasion to go to his "ranch" and ride a sorrel thoroughbred. It turned out that Frank also knew my estranged father who had worked in Hollywood back in the day. Small world.

A great actor and very handsome man..

Wow, I'm mesmerized by the good manners and Fred Rogers appeal 😍

Rory's first wife divorced him on grounds of his adultery. She named 79 co-respondents, including Betty Grable. Rory's response ? - "Heck, she didn't get half of them"

I ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ ♥️ Rory Calhoun. He was in a series of movies in the 1950's and he was in a TV series, a western, in the early 60's. He was always top in my and my families opinion.

such presence! still...

As a kid I enjoyed all his westerns, the Texan series and with Susan Hayward in a “song in my heart” musical. Just talent at its finest! 🇺🇸

Still handsome!

A gentleman and good soul, RIP

She tried to dog Motel Hell but ol' Rory set her straight...it did great at the box office.👍

love his movies he's a great actor I would love to hang out with him and meet him too bad I can't because he's gone he is a true legend and he will always be farmer Vincent he is one guy you never wanted to piss off you might find yourself in his Smokehouse

He's not standing or walking, The Simpsons are full of it.

Rory is great and very much part of my childhood.

he was a sharp Cowboy.. I loved the Texan shows.. he was truly a great actor.. he had a lot of great talent on the show as well! RIP Rory!

I saw him in "The Texan" television series. Great show.

I am 70 and enjoyed watching westerns with my family. Most are gone now but boy when I watch them again it brings back memories of a different world. Thanks for the movie memories Rory.

Watching pure country right now Rorys last movie from 1992

My favorite actor star who's Westerns I watch eagerly , movies of the fiftees , very fine Cowboy. First time I'm seeing him as an old man ( which I didn't like) but he's so well dressed. Thanks for the video.

Today Commemorates Rory Calhoun's 100th Birthday

Very surprised that he is only 61 in this video, he looks almost 80.

Admired him always handsome actor liked his hair on the center of his forehead real cowboy

he was so handsome......

Motel Hell became an instant cult classic and it's one of my favorites!! "I thought you said you loved our meats...", classic!!!

Oh my goodness such a handsome fellow- loved him in The Silver Whip with Robert Wagner. Forgot he was on Capitol Hill

روري كالهون من افضل ابطال افلام الكابوي تحيه لهاذا الممثل البارع

He was only 61 at this time. He looks 20 years older. Hard living.

Parabéns pelo trabalho de vcs é muito bom ouvir e ver um grande ator que nos trouxe tantas alegrias com seus grandes filmes e seriado obrigado saudoso rory calhoun

such a good looking masculine man with easy smooth banter. they are a dying breed. its good he passed before the generation of always offended snowflakes of this generation. nobody would dare ask THIS man's pronouns!!!

When I was a teen he was one of the most beautiful men I'd ever seen - with a roguish twinkle in his eye. Looked fine until the end.

He looked about 80 here. It must have been all the chain smoking that caused him to age so badly.

Okay, this is clearly not Rory Calhoun. He's neither standing nor walking.

الله يرحمو

Rare footage of Rory uncharacteristically sitting.

Motel Hell had 3 million dollar budget making 6.5 million became cult classic like Psycho. This was due to Rory Calhoun staring in the movie. He was on daytime soap opera forced out due to sickness.

شاهدت له فلم راءع Sundown

Motel Hell is on Netflix now! Rory Calhoun being removed by his daytime show due to sickness. It was an awful thing to do to him.

I heard he had a used car lot in the 1970's.
