I once sent a note to her written on a napkin at the now defunct Hamburger Hamlet on Sunset near Doheny and she invited me over to her table to hang out for a little while. She was a magnificent lady and funny as all hell. She had a disarmingly sober view of the industry. In-person, that voice was as infectious as it was on television and in film. She didn't have to give me the time of day but she did and then some. I was lucky to have met her.
AWESOME I bet it was. I'm not a star chaser or never had been. But I would have done the same. I think she's even more attractive than Liz Taylor in her prime.
Vince Niederman Yes I loved her on the BN show and also on playing the mother in law, on 8 Simple Rules which was the last TV show she was a regular on.
I was in my early teens when I had a forever crush on Suzanne when she was 32😍 always and still had a love fore her untill her passing in 2008! RIP Suzanne with love😍😍
Suzanne was a dream, including that hairstyle. Can't forget someone this rare and talented. Reminds me of Jimmy Dorsey's version of the song, So Rare (1957). Unforgettable woman.
I fell in love with her when I was 12 years old and always dreamed that she'd be my girlfriend someday. Being disabled, I was very shy with girls but I could relate to her. I had fantasies of her being my date to the school dance and all the kids looking on in disbelief. I'll always love her. What a classy lady.
Me too! But I think I was ten. I used to sing "I'm getting married to Suzanne Pleshette" kind of as a joke, and my sister would mock me about it. My first of very few celebrity crushes.
@@gravytopic what tune did you use for your song? Whatever it was, you might've had yourself a hit if you would've recorded it. Don't feel too bad though, I felt the same way. Sure would've been something if one of us would've made it that far. I'll be 70 next year and I still love her.
@@gravytopicwhat a boost that song might've been to the both of you had you recorded that tune! And, who knows, I might've recorded it too as I was playing music back then. Sure would've been something!
@@brookehanley3659 Apparently there is a statistical correlation between facial symmetry and physical health. I should know, I have a somewhat asymmetric face and have been plagued by I’ll health all of my 60 plus years. But I’m still alive so shouldn’t complain I guess. Mind you if I was dead already I definitely wouldn’t be complaining.😂
The very gorgeous sexy Suzanne Pleshette. The best lady in any movie. So sad to not see her in person anymore. She was a treasure to be with for so many very pleasant years.
A true natural beauty. Her voice, from heavy smoking, became raspy, distinctly sexy. It eventually fomented your early demise. What a dynamic personality and alluring actress
Surely one of the most beautiful actresses that ever was. More lovely than Elizabeth Taylor and a great more talented than many today. Christopher Australia
You and I must have had the same mother. Lol I just mentioned to someone that this video gives me the feeling that my mother is being interviewed, if I turn down the sound. They could be twins.
One of my favorite actresses. She could be funny, romantic, dramatic & her voice was unique in a good way. She was both easy on the eyes, as well as the ears.
Sadly her Heavy Smoking, Took her life much to soon May she RIP & is missed by all of her Fans etc.She was Born in Brooklyn, Heights NY According to her Bio.
I just deleted my comment about the Hedda Hopper anecdote, because I didn't realize Suzanne relates the story of this episode. I guess I'll add back the part that friends of the family, who would visit us in the 1960s, grew up next-door to Suzanne in New York and she was like a sister to the two brothers. They said she was very scatological, and smoked heavily.
Smoked for many years at the time when it seemed harmless at first. That was always a big mistake that claimed a lot of Hollywood legends like her, Dean Jones, Yul Brynner, and many others. "If I could change one thing about myself, it would be the smoking. I always wanted to do a commercial that says now that I'm gone my advice to you is don't smoke. Whatever you do don't ever smoke." - Yul Brynner final interview before passing away.
EL GRECO 777 Can you please explain your comment? On the surface it seems like an insipid and very stupid response to anti smoking comments. Are you claiming that smoking is OK as long as one is not obese? Anyone downplaying the most preventable cause of premature death has their head buried deeply in their backsides.
A.What is the single most preventable cause of death in the US? Tobacco use is the single most preventable cause of disease, disability, and death in the United States, yet more deaths are caused each year by tobacco use than by all deaths from human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), illegal drug use, alcohol use, motor vehicle injuries, suicides, and murders combined. answersdrive.com/is-smoking-the-most-preventable-cause-of-death-19500461

Suzanne Pleshette (Nueva York, 31 de enero de 1937-Los Ángeles, California; 19 de enero de 2008) fue una actriz estadounidense. Fue la hija única del que fue el director de los teatros de la Paramount en Nueva York, en la época de las grandes orquestas.Influida por la profesión de su padre, Pleshette decidió ya de niña ser actriz, y comenzó a estudiar a los 12 años en la Escuela de Interpretación de Nueva York , e hizo sus primeros pinitos como actriz en un teatro del vecindario. Después siguió estudiando en la Universidad de Syracuse, y en otras varias instituciones dedicadas a la enseñanza de la interpretación.
This is the era that Joe Biden is from. Can you imagine nowadays if Johnny Carson or Ed didn't want to be kissed, or Suzanne was tired of feeling obligated to kiss them? Ed didn't want his arm to be clutched like that. It was an era when friends weren't terrified of showing each other physical affection without repercussions.
Biden took it a little further than that under the excuse he was being "affectionate", kind of like Andrew Cuomo, used it as an excuse to grope & cop a feel.
Very Husky voice. The many cigarettes that she was chain smoking really messed with her vocal chords. Her voice was not as husky in the early 70's But by 1980 she sounded weird.
