Truly a warm, genuine and so well narrated tribute. They had wonderful chemistry in Clover, and Property. Had she lived, I'm sure they would have come back with something together.
Robert Redford ... the original blond half of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. No one with one brain cell and sight to see, would ever make the mistake of dismissing him as a "dumb blond". Creative, intelligent, principled - the creator of Sundance to help undiscovered film talents - he represents the best of America. A beautiful man who did not live off of his looks in the shallow world of Hollywood. Admiration and respect!
I always adored Natalie Wood. So much strength and confidence in the way she came across, on screen and off. A good friend of my family was Harbor Master at Twin Harbors, Catalina Island, when she was pulled from the water. He was there that morning when she was found. So sad. My daughter is named after her. Such a loss.
I love that these two giants of the film world were friends as well as co-stars. They are in my Top Ten all-time favorites. It's wonderful that Robert Redford does this feature for Turner Classics because he is eloquent in his reminiscing.
Robert Redford you are a class act.A wonderful human being,gifted in both spirit and life's reality.Our world is a better place with you in it.Thank you for a heartfelt narration of Natalie Wood.A graceful lady she was.
Notice that most of the good, genuine actors back then remained in public school even while acting or went on to become great humble actors. People respected people then. Here she was a star and went to the local public school. 👍
Oh, how I loved Natalie Wood. She was so beautiful. My favorite movie was Splendor In the Grass. The other actress who was beautiful to me was Elizabeth Taylor. Lots are pretty, but I think they were beautiful.
That was very sweet. What a unique time that was...so different than the errr so called "reality stars of today who aren't talented, just social media savy." Natalie Wood, Robert Redford, Paul Newman, Alan Arkin, Yul Brenner, Audrey Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman, Joanne Woodward, Karl Mulden, Elizabeth Taylor, Roddy McDowell, Gena Rowlands, John Cassavettes, Barbara Streisand, Rosalind Russell, Jack Lemmon, Shirley McLaine, Walter Matteau...so many had sooo much acting experience, training, live theatre experience...studio training...they just had the "it factor." Truly all one of a kind. Thank you for sharing Paco Granados!
You can sense his admiration and awe for Natalie . How he was drawn to her like all of us . You can also sense just why he didn’t pursue her . Her vulnerability and sensitivity would’ve eaten him alive , she would’ve been a lot to handle but this does t take away his attachment to her . There was something beautiful and sad about her ,one could sense that somehow tragedy would find her .May be just a coincidence of fate and her vulnerable qualities.
My cousin was named after her mom is crazy about her. Thank you for sharing especially because Robert Redford is one of my favorite actors of all time.
Ah the good ole days. Wish Natalie was still w us and wish Redford was still young & handsome. I know he’s still handsome now. She was gorgeous, consummate professional, and true talent. He was drop dead gorgeous, talented, and super genius.
i love the shots of all those old movie magazines natalie as a child star is in the movie marilyn monroe first made scudda hoo scudda hey only marilyn was cut out of it
At 3:55 and again at 5:42 Daisy and Wade are sittng aboard Ned and Idabeth Porter's 41' Owens Cutter "Lanakoa", trucked to a sound stage for that scene. The scenes of them sailing were on an altogether different boat. Maybe someone else can ID it? Beth was never clear about what the name meant, exactly, but did say, "Any boat name with three 'A's in it was definitely Good Luck!".
I'm glad Redford did this because I did not like it that he didn't cast her in Ordinary People. It should have been a priority for him. Quid pro quo for his working on Daisy Clover. This film clip was nice of him and nice to see.
I know a great movie starring Robert Redford, Morgan Freeman, and Jennifer Lopez, as well as several other great actors, and a brilliant young actress, in her first role. The name of it is, An Unfinished. Life
You almost want to believe, need to believe, have to believe that Robert Redford is the last true star; he carried/carries - quite naturally, quite authentically - the reserve and grace (and air of privacy) that was forced upon the stars of the prior studio system years mixed with all the artistry and the seriousness of acting purpose that came out of the method and the actor's studio mid-century; neither of which has ever been spoiled by the grinding, relentless post-70s super-production PR machines that capitalize exponentially more that ever before on the image of fame rather than fame itself.
That was Great,does anyone know if they still do these? I remember on certain stars Bdays they would have a marathon of their movies with this type of tribute preceding it I remember many years ago watching hours of Great Barbara Stanwyck movies-Clash by night, Sorry,wrong number,and NIGHT Nurse...
As far as I know they still do have celebrities pay tribute to their fellow actor/accesses when it's that celebrity's birthday and TCM run the movie marathons. As of 2015 I watched the TCM channel a lot and there still doing those segments. TCM is a great movie channel. I love the old classics and like not having to watch movies where every other word is a profanity or its filled with sexually explicit scenes. The old movies cut out those things and they have great story lines....TCM is a nice breather from movies with too much gratuitous.everything.
plenty of people get drunk and fight but don't kill anyone. don't blame his murderous filth on alcohol. believe me I have family and loved ones who are complete argumentative assholes when drunk, I mean they are crap, but none of them ever killed anyone. I hate hearing deliberate murder being blamed on alcohol.
How sad that she was afraid of water and she died by drowning. It makes me think even more that her death wasn't an accident. Someone afraid of water wouldn't go out at night in the ocean on a dinghy.
The lady said "Splendid" to a young Natalie, Robert mentions "Splendor in the Grass" and mentions how Natalie hated water, and then she died in the water supposedly or on the boat which was apparently named "Spendour".....Don't know if that Post Edit was intentional on Robert Redfords end?
