วีดีโอ

I am watching the video on the Rodney McDowell Malibu beach party. I think that is one of the most incredible videos on all of TH-cam. I think back in those years, the stars who lived in Malibu, actually lived there. Today, the stars often have many homes, and the kind of social gatherings seen on the video, are likely rare.

This was a great documentary!

He was the best. I watch anything with him in it. His acting was always superb. My favorite character was Peter Vincent, in Fright Night.

Yes, I know this feeling.

You belong in the Golden age of singing. In the 40’s - 60’s. Fabulous voice!!

Wonderful ❤from Bonnie Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

He was good in every film. It was great to see him in 'Evil under the Sun'. Big production, big screen presence and with so many famous greats. ❤

Wow, well done! great storytelling.

Natural habitat with natural movie stars, no airs and graces like today.

One last comment: With that exquisite voice of yours, and it really is special, were we in the Year of Our Lord 1955 I think the whole world would know your name.

First class pipes! Beautifully sung. I had no idea. Thank you. Given what you sang, I have to believe you're familiar with a 1957 Edsel Show hosted by Bing Crosby with musical guests Rosemary Clooney, Frank Sinatra, & Louis Armstrong. This very song was her first number that long ago October night. Bing was funny & cool, as always. Sinatra was in rare form, singing beautifully and as hip as a 41 year old can be. And of course RC did what she always did so well. There's a spectacular 50 song medley all three of them participate in that beautifully closes the TV show. One very interesting aspect is the program was sponsored by Edsel, a soon to die deeply unpopular car, & the company's desperation is easy to see in the hard selling ads. Find it on youtube.

Happy Days... ALWAYS

Where are your own films? Did you release any? Lovely tribute. My grandma Gwen Nolan was born in 1925 and died in 2019 but I am much older than you-a child of the 70s. She was involved in theatre and wardrobe and my grandad was a photographer, writer. They had a huge impact on my life and choices. Good luck with your acting! 🍀🍀🍀

Seems the best looking men are usually addicts and/or abusers.

I never noticed, he DOES have a thick neck!

I like to see him on screen, lovelly person.

They sound definitely like a cult. Not the Truth!!

Society is not normal. How can we who are different, ever hope to fit into such a world. That’s why I don’t bother. Just be me!! And peaceful!!

oh one more thing, i had his bio(stort form) i remember a quote "he really does,nt talk you could tell him anything and he would not tell ...Gossip Hollywood talk is what Joan rivers meant.

Yes i agree, i don,t get to see many classoc movie sbut i still love him in Planet of the Apes too😍🤩

A well written, balanced, and thoroughly researched biography as well as pleasingly narrated.

Its sad, I had a friend who told me some horror stories about JW's to, there wasnt anything wrong with you, just these cult religious groups. I was raised Catholic, no longer practice. There is an epidemic of perversion in this country, I hope you have gotten away from these people.

Thanks

I love you unconditionally, Zoë Darlin’. Have for years and will continue to do so forevermore! 🤗🤗🤗🤗

Excellent docu !!

One of a kind, always up to something, so talented.

Wonderful to have this biography of lovely Roddy. And rare, too. So to be saved, kept, to be watched as often as I need👌👍👏❤️

I'm 58 and a life-long Roddy McDowall fan. The first roles I remember seeing him in were on Night Gallery and of course Lassie Come Home ❤. By all accounts a great human being as well. There's an incredible home movie of his on here from 1965 taken at his beach house in Malibu.

Happy Birthday, Chris and hello, Zoë Love! 💙🤗🤗🩵

Cary grant had problems

Merci beaucoup pour votre impecable narration sur une pepite du cinema.

Great actor! But why would anyone, name their son " Archibold" /. Leach ? Only English people then...i, guess! Never heard that name before ! It eas smart , who decides to change it ! Ridiculous name!

WHAT A WONDERFUL VIDEO!! i never expected to find such a heartfelt and well-researched biography on someone as (unfortunately) niche as Roddy McDowall, but i'm so glad i did!! I became a fan of his around a year ago now and have been slowly chipping away at that enormous filmography of his, and my motivation's exceeded tenfold with this video!! Thank you so much for such a comprehensive video on his life... he truly was underrated and underappreciated during his time AND now, so i'm glad there's still love for him even nowadays! He may be an 'unusual' actor for someone my age to like, but i think that's just what makes him all the more special to me. Great video once again!! 🤩🫶

Th!nking an 01d(er) m@n ‘1oves’ a y0ung g!r1… 😖

I believe in you, Zoë Love! Always have… always will!! 💚🤗🤗💚

Looking forward to the ride. Happy October.

The movie was okay, but I felt some parts were a bit long-winded. I wish there were more images from his movies.

"Steel Eye Span" also too.

Fairport Convention did a song about this :) x

BRAVISSIMO ATTORE, HA FATTO DEI FILMS INSUPERABILI, AVREBBE DOVUTO FARE ANCHE ALTRE PUNTATE DEL TELEFILM DELLE SCIMMIE DEL 1974 , 14 EPISODI TROPPO POCHI, ALTRI 14 NEL 1975 AVREBBE DOVUTO FARE !!!!!!

It made me cry, to have to go thru what he did, thank you mr McDowell

My Father would see Cary Grant in movies and say to himself "I know him, but how and where from. They keep on saying he was from Bristol and I am from Southampton". Once they said his actual name was Archibald Leash, my Father recognized that he really did know him while growing up in Southampton. In all the years that I have seen and read about Cary Grant, yours is the first mention of Southampton. Thank you for confirming that what my Father said was accurate.

ATTORE ECCEZIONALE, INSUPERABILE !!!!!!

Excellent work! Wonderful research, presentation, and narration. Not only a story about Cary Grant, but about the dangers of chasing success -- and illusions -- in the 20th century.

Great biography. I am 61 and grew up watching Rodey McDowell. So much I didn't know about him. Thank you for such an informative biography!

Very well done. Love him .🎉❤💔🎉🕊 He was amazingly handsome.

He tried to ruin Dian like his dad ruined his mother. He was made cruel by his father, if you can call him a father. His past wives were lucky to escape him. And I hope the dtr wasn't ruined by him. I once thought what a great guy he was. not now.I would not watch any of his films now.
