What a fantastic interview from a gifted actress. No affectations, just wonderful anecdotes and memories from a special time in Hollywood. I could have listened to more of her stories.....

I wonder what Shelley would think of how far the liberal party has gone in 2022? BTW, I’m a 56 year old gay, white man, the child of European immigrants who once was a liberal and now has saw the light!

This interview really put Shelley Winters in perspective. I only knew her old, seeing her on talk shows and the like. I looked her up and read a bit about her after seeing this interview, and looked at images of her when she was young and incredibly beautiful. What a life she had, on the cutting edge of everything.

Shelly Winters is such a legend. She is a consummate actor whose career embodies such a range of work, all the while humble with crafty smarts. LOVE HER and, people don't realize that she raised up so many others just by being a friend and as someone who rolled with the punches in Hollywood and Broadway. She made great choices, was never type cast.

When I used to watch the talk shows like Merv Griffith, he used to always have Shelley Winters on reminiscing about old Hollywood. Her recollections were so insightful and lots of fun. One more thing, when Shelley was trying to recall the director "with the patch on his eye", that wasn't William Wellman. Raoul Walsh had a patch on his eye.

@bobthebuilder2778 3 года назад

Wasn't it Wellman that lost an eye in a auto accident ?

No. A rabbit 🐇 hit his windshield (Raoul Walsh) while driving.

Too many comments about the great actress having early dementia. First of all, 75 ain't early. Secondly, it was only names that she didn't always put in order. Not unusual at any age. But her recollections were quite on target.

When I was a teen I hadn't seen any Shelley Winters movies but saw her as a frequent guest on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. My reaction was yuck, it's that obnoxious drunk again. Wasn't until years later that I was able to appreciate that she was an exceptionally good actress.

@silviohidalgo7292 3 года назад

Shelley has always been a great raconteur of old Hollywood. She holds nothing back and she manages not to say bad things about others. I remember when I first saw a place in the son, I wanted Montgomery cliff to be with elizabeth Taylor that I was not on her side!!! But I love you Shelley!. I would watch every talk show you are in!! 😘

@ih8utbe Месяц назад

Shelley was fun in Petes Dragon, Ma Barker in Batman, Tentacles (1977). Whats the matter with Helen, who slew auntie Roo. She is quite the actress you dont see today. Lolita as Charlotte Haze who was a flamboyant, flirty mother who was very tough with Lolita (Sue Lyons). Alfie she was in love with Michael Caine. A racist mother in A patch of blue.

@leighewinson9473 Год назад

I'm sure she didn't want to say because he was still alive...but Farley Granger was gay. I assume he wanted to be with his lover who was a Playwright ...He was probably being blackballed or threatened to be exposed

LeighE Winson...no, Farley Granger did not meet his partner until after the big publicity matchup with Shelley was over in the early 50s. Farley and Shelley were friends up until their deaths.

Winters was a very good actress, but I just saw an interview with Bernie Coppell Love Boat, who said Shelly was impossible to work with when she had a guest appearance on the show. He said she was a monster and made it tough for everyone. I've heard things like this about Shelley Winters before so I believe it.

@davmpls 3 года назад

Perhaps the greatest actor of her time. She was hardworking and virtually created the concept of the star character actor. Her presence in a film, even in a small role, gave production value and prestige to whatever she was in.

@brianoyler706 Год назад

Perhaps Shelley Winters was difficult to work with as an actress, but the results of her performances speak for themselves. This interview reveals another side of Shelley which I never saw in her television interviews with Griffin or Carson. I discover Shelley the acting teacher. I like her as the teacher. I think she would have really let actors know where they stand with the craft.

@hudsony777 Год назад

I always thought her talk show appearances were horrendous and she made them so deliberately for some reason. She seems like an intelligent person here.
