Linda Christian discusses her life and career, including her marriages to Tyrone Power and Edmund Purdom, and her early relationship with Errol Flynn, in this 1993 interview with cable TV host Skip E Lowe.
The interviewer doesn’t listen to his guest. He asks insipid questions. He keeps saying Linda Christen in every question as if he is so important that he might forget who he is talking to. Happy moments happy moments. What a waste of time.
Linda Christian è assai più bella di Romina Power, non aveva niente da invidiare a Lana Turner Kim Novak Joan Fontaine ecc. basta guardare i filmati di quando era giovane.
The interviewer is full of himself! When he asks a question, he won’t let the guest speak. And to keep calling the guest by their full name every time he speaks is ridiculous!

In 2013, I was sitting at a computer at the Library when an elderly woman sat at the pc next to me. She asked me if I like classic movies and I said that I love them. She told me that she has interviewed legendary actors in Hollywood. She then introduced herself as Skip E. Lowe. I say 'she' out of respect because she was wearing make-up and women's clothing. I recognized the name, but had never seen these interviews. They are amazing! RIP Skip 🙏🖖
Maggie May Flynn tells a story that Linda had a gap at the side of her teeth and she needed a tooth replaced when he met her and he sent her to his dentist in London and he got a bill for thousands and his dentist told him she had all her teeth done - I guess filled - and years after when he saw her, he said to her when she avoided speaking to him, " Smile honey. I just want to see those choppers. They took their first bite outta me. "
Linda had previously written in the 40s that Lana Turner had mistreated her on set. Lana heard about it, shocked, because she had never done such a thing. Lana sat down with Tyrone Power, who had been the love of her life and said “is there another women.” Tyrone simply said “yes.” That woman was Linda Christian. Linda had done whatever possible to take away from Lana’s happiness. I’m shocked that the previous comments are so oblivious.
This is how I understood it: Lana planned a going away party for Tyrone as he was contracted to film overseas. She spent a fortune ($50K) and went all out on the party and decorations. She flew in tropical orchids and expensive elaborate decor. She was setting the scene...as she knew he was going to propose to her that night before hi left-they had been so happy, inseparable. During the party, Tyrone just disappeared (Lana would not see him again that night). This is the same period of time Linda speaks of calling Tyrone's hotel room in Rome for the autograph (her very words here in the video, it was an explosion of love at first sight). Tyrone immediately proposed to Linda (just as she said here) Lana would learn when the headlines came out that Linda Christian was to be his wife and that is how Lana learned of Linda. ~ well at least that is how I understood it from Lana's story. Wonder which is correct?
@@chingchowder4596 Whole lotta cheatin' goin' on in Hollywood. Judy Garland really wanted to marry Artie Shaw, but "bingo", next thing Judy knew was that Lana had just eloped with him. "Musical chairs" for sooo many "beautiful people" in a small town.
@@b.walker5955 Tyrone was never going to marry Lana. She was beautiful but he wasn't in love with her. She put on that party with the HOPE that he would propose (he didn't even want that party) and he split. A man doesn't disappear if he's interested.
Linda Christian, the original Bond woman, the most beautiful of the Bond women. Even in her old age, she is beautiful. The way she speaks, the slightest movement in her face, and her obvious intelligence and classiness. So, of course the handsomest actor in Hollywood proposes immediately, who can blame him? Is there such a thing as the ultimate woman? If so, it would be Linda Christian.
Tonight I just watched the Alfred Hitchcock program that Linda did in 1963, "An Out For Oscar". Though she plays a real "stinker" in this episode, I could not take my eyes off of her. Can't remember when I've seen someone so gorgeous. Wish it was in color. Never saw her in a film yet, but I will. Quite a life she had.
Una pena que no esté la posibilidad de colocarle los subtítulos en el idioma de cada uno. De todas maneras lo que sí me quedó muy clarito lo idéntica que es a su abuela Romina Jr y Romina Power es muy parecida a su papá pero la verdad es que le encontré desde lo dulce de la voz y la tonalidad hasta casi toda la gestualidad idéntica a la de su mamá. Todas una belleza!!
La Elegancia y belleza Personificada ,,,,,es lindísima ,,yo no la conocía ,hablando ,,en Películas cuando era joven ,,,pero es increíble la belleza ,,y personalidad y sencillez ,😂😂😂😂😂😂 de 😂😂😂😂😂
@@BLTKellys I would say "can you believe the sh*t that people say." But in 2021, cruelty is the new thing. I try to ignore the homophobic comments. Their ignorance is not my problem. Be safe! 🖖✌🙏
BethLousie, I'm not one to judge anyone, so I'll just suggest that you think before you write a comment. What you said sounds cruel and homophobic. It's very easy to give people the wrong opinion based on text. Maybe your comment was based solely on his looks, but people who read it don't know what the meaning is behind the post. FYI.
He's an AWFUL interviewer. Putting words in his guests' mouth and swerving the dialogue his way -- not letting it go the guest's way. I couldn't get past 5 mins. He turned me off completely.
Errol Flynn discovered Linda Christian, and assisted her in Hollywood. He had an influence in the start of her success. He was not crazy. He was adventurous. This interviewer is obnoxious.
Yes, according to history, Errol Flynn discovered Linda Christian, which was her artistic name. She was born and raised in Mexico. Her sister Ariadna Welter was also a mexican actress. Is sad that a lot of famous people denied their own country, in this case saying she was only about a "year and a half in Mexico"
Not only did she steal Tyrone from Lana, but Linda cheated on Tyrone on set of “Athena” 1954 according to Debbie Reynolds’ autobiography & Lana Turner, herself
According to history, she was born and raised in Mexico, which is where Errol Flynn discovered her. Also, her sister Ariadna Welter was a movie actress in mexican cinema. It seems that she denied being mexican. Can't watch any more of this video. It is annoying to me the way he interrupts, and she (RIP) saying she only "spent a year and a half in Mexico" so wasn't in Mexico where Errol Flynn discovered her? I'm so proud of Salma Hayek, not ever forgetting where she came from.
La madre de Romina que bellezon ,,,,,,y Elegancia ,,,,,Bravo ,,,comomno va ha ser elegante Romina ,,,,,,,,,,..❤❤❤❤❤❤ñyo creo que la sortija es la que lleva Romina ,,valla guapisimaaaaáX eso Romina tiene ese Don ,,,tal Elegante con esos padres ,,Bravo ,,,Romina qyue lujo de Madre ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Linda had "other" talents. Read James Bacon's two books of his accounts of being a reporter in Hollywood for 50 years, even though he may have embellished his tales (he was an Irishman after all). Still, a strong element of truth.
Dear God, Alan Eichler repeated her name so many times that if I were her, I would have stopped the interview. She is not a vain person that needed to hear her name constantly. It was hard to watch this. Linda is a beautiful lady and a beautiful, humble person.
The story Lana told (if you want to believe it), is the following: Lana was in love with Tyrone, he impregnated her, she told him and he left it up to her if she wanted to keep it. He had to leave town and they had a code that if she had an abortion she would say "I found the house" this would be as he was flying with Ceasar Romero and one other guy I cannot remember. If she had the abortion she would say "I did not find the house" . Well, Lana did have the abortion and she contacted him to tell him that. Lana said the studio was trying to keep them apart and had pushed Power into marrying Christian!!! Lana said she asked him what was wrong was there someone else, she had yet to learn of Linda Christian, he said yes! So you can draw two conclusions from Lana's account which she told on Phil Donahue 1984 either Power aS a snooze and let the studio dictate his life to him or he was a louse and never cared two boots for Lana or his baby.......
I knew Tyrone was involved with Judy Garland, and she aborted his baby, or so the celebrity gossip goes. I never knew about Lana. Artie Shaw broke her heart too. I read Lana aborted Mickey Romney's kid as well. You have to wonder, if fate had been different, if she and Tyrone had married, would they have been happy.
Romina tiene una belleza diferente, tiene gestos de su mamá, algo de la boca (dentadura) pero tiene la belleza de su papá, lo que sí me parecía estar viendo la réplica em Romina Jr. Es idéntica a su abuela materna diría casi en su totalidad, gestos, todo. Bella familia Power Christian!!
Just watched an old episode of I've Got a Secret, her secret was her huband gave her a black eye by accident. Now, I dont think it was really an accident.
A very pretty girl, but she never made it as a big star. Today, about the only thing she is remembered for, is that once she was married to Tyrone Power. Ah well, fame is fleeting.
Esta es la madre de Romina es preciosa se murio con 87 años de cancer de. colon y estuvo Romina cuidandola despues se murio. La hermana de Romina de Leucemia en el 2020 era mas joven que Romina .cuanto lleva sufrido Romina .pobre ahora se merece ser feiiz ..pero con la Lechizo cruzada ...buen lio tiene Albano
I like the closeups on both the host Skip, and his guest, Linda Christian. Other talk shows seem to prefer shooting their camera up the short skirts of women being interviewed. His style is a bit hyper but still respectful as although he inquires into the personal he doesn't push his guests too hard to reveal more than they are comfortable speaking about. He definitely interrupts the guest more frequently than do other hosts to ask another question but nevertheless his guests seem okay with his style and at ease to be conversational despite his rapid back and forth. Maybe too it works so well because mostly the stars Skip interviewed became famous during the Hollywood of the 40's, 50's and 60's and so were rarely still asked to be interviewed on other talk shows. They enjoyed reminiscing with Skip because he remembered and appreciated them and those eras of Hollywood.
You hit the nail on the head. Skip E's shows were public access. No one got paid and they actually cost him money. Everyone who ever appeared on his show was there because they wanted to be and that's why his show lasted for 35 years.
Pretty good. Linda was gracious, but Skip. Let your interviewees elaborate. We do want to hear more, but thanks for the interview of her, Linda, anyway.
Linda also claimed lana mistreated her on set. Linda eavesdropped on lana’s conversation and purposely “stole” the love of lana’s life away from her. Bye love.
He did NOT love her!! LOL Here he is in a deep relationship with Lana Turner, flies overseas and within 2 weeks of meeting this one here asks her to marry him??? How many of you women out there are numb nuts to marry a man after 2 weeks and knowing his notorious cheating scheme. And besides, he CHEATED on Linda many times. She was a star struck woman who was sooooo flabbergasted that SHE was the one who GOT HIM. I am NOT impressed. she is just a narc like very other woman in the movies. She is acting here like they had such a BEAUTIFUL marriage - and that is a total LOAD of crap!!!!!!!!!!
There is a piece floating around on RU-vid about Tyrone Powers and Lana Turner. So, he dumps her and marries Christian. Ghastly interview for obvious reasons. How did this guy keep this job?
@@aeichler Yes, you re right. I ve been wrong for so many years ! Even though such a beautiful woman( Linda Cristal an argentinian -american actress) so was Tyrone Power. Such a nice and handsome and very good actor! I liked this couple for so many many years! Beautiful one.
What was I doing at age 16? At age 15 I successfully created the first time machine. I traveled back to the days of the Vikings and had a wonderful time with Olaf the Conqueror attacking villages and drinking tons of ale (they even made me a little battle ax and tiny armor!). Unfortunately someone mistook me for a ammunition and launched me with a catapult. I landed badly on my head (but at least I wiped out several enemy sheep). Due to that brain injury I became profoundly stupid. Fortunately, the time machine was programmed to automatically return me to the present time but due to a misplaced semi-colon in the code, self-destructed taking the design plans with it so I have no proof. I lived out the rest of my life as an ordinary computer programmer until last year when I died during a bad flamingo racing accident. Even on my last day, I still had a fond passion for pillaging.
