@@KingKenny. I don't know the specifics of what he took in his later life but it has been suggested he was taking illegal drugs (cannabis and cocaine) and alcohol when he was married to his 4th wife Lynne Frederick (1977 - 1980).
A true genius, maybe the only actor, who deserved the OSCAR, which sadly did not find the way to him... He died decades too early. Bad timing, God, very bad timing!
Gene Shalit = Jiminy Glick ("Time magazine said that there's no one inside...who am I talking to now....I want to hear an accent....speak like a Londoner.....") Massive Talent meets Moustached Mediocrity.
Unforgivable that an interviewer would get it wrong Especially as peter sellers has been quoted many times as saying his happiest time professionally was when he was doing the Goon shows
I think you'll find that Gene said Go-on show like the BeebBeebCeeb did. Gene knew his stuff, did what he could to make Sellers feel comfortable and Peter looked so relaxed albeit ill.
Yes, agreed. Gene Shalitt is obnoxious and seems incapable of actually listening to Sellers. He wastes time demanding Sellers assess various audiences in different parts of the world. What a waste! Sellers just finished “Being There” and is not allowed to simply talk about his movie.
