Alexander was extremely talented with respect to his work in ballet dancing and in the movies that I have seen him in. For me, his most prized endeavor was in Die Hard, as Karl, but you could clearly see the extent of passion that he poured into all of the roles that he took on during his career. Although it was only until many years later when I learned of his passing back in 1995 (now almost precisely 28 years ago), it still shocks (and even haunts) me to realize that he is no longer with us. The cause of his death remains unclear (and it would have been a little more satisfying to have some closure), but his legacy remains stronger than it ever did. Rest in peace, Alexander Godunov - despite almost three decades elapsed since your passing, you are forever remembered.
He is Unforgettable, unsurpassed, unrepeatable.
May he rest in peace. The gift he gave
The world is immeasurably grand. 🌹🌹🌹
this is the first I have heard about him in years. sad he has been forgotten.
I had certainly forgotten about him.... definitely remember him, though!
professionals, fans of classical ballet, have never forgotten the Russian star of the Bolshoi Ballet, the unique premiere dancer in the ABT of the 80s, the talented actor A. Godunov! and 25 years after his death We love and remember him! Until now, Aleksandr is considered (by the aggregate criterion) the standard of a dancer and partner in classical ballet, the brightest, most beautiful dancer and actor of the Bolshoi Theater, ABT with limitless stage roles. Professionals admitted that in the Bolshoi, neither before nor after A. Godunov there was no dancer equal to his talent.
@@stacykeller8461 America saw on the stage of ABT in the 80s - a brilliant and unique dancer, the brightest Russian star of the Bolshoi Ballet!
I’m in love with him and I remember him
The death of Alexander is like murder. And it is surprising that in the USA they did not investigate the death of the famous dancer and artist (and all newspaper and video publications of that period (1995) refer to the press release, to the words of the former employee and manager A. Godunov, who did not want to do an autopsy, to establish the true cause of death ... and after the death of A. Godunov, Arlene Medan simply disappeared with the money of the former boss. Moreover, neither friends nor relatives were invited to say goodbye to Alexander before the cremation. None of the relatives and close friends saw Alexander dead (and according to the will, the friends did not receive the urn with the ashes. Material values and Alexander's personal archive disappeared.
talk about no respect for the dead.
@@joecrow5484 talk about no investigation for the dead.
@@yuliyacher67 that too
👌🙏❤️ looks like everything around him was paid by Arlin. She is the lady responsible for his death. Too bad no body investigated the case. I suppose it’s not Arlin’s first or last victim.
@@liliivanova2920Veru good comment but Alexander had also many other enemies , specially from barichnicov,s environment,who they insulting him till now. I don't think, Arline Medan was the only person who wanted , Alexander to be dead. The rest of his enemies may have an allaby but I don't think, they are inossent.
Менеджер обворовала и следы замела, иначе зачем так скрывать
He is unforgettable
The humiliating manner of this reportage is making me sad. This person was extremely talented and hard working, also brave and intelligent. I think he deserved more respect from everyone, including those reporters speaking about him.
Especially because his death left uninvestigated.
Enjoyed the subject Scott but wish there was more than 2:40 of content.
Scott and that morbid grave line tour..love it. Good Scott!
" Morbid grave line tour " 😂 You were great Scott.
I loved him in The Witness
Not Forgotten Alex 😢😢😢
Why repeat a lie for 25 years? and why do you like the "alcohol label" and are not interested in the true cause of A. Godunov's death?
Probably because people who knew him said he was a long time problem drinker.
@@BigBadJerryRogers People who really knew him said he drank no more than any other.
So… what was the “true cause” of his death?
@@marynoonan6111 The murder because of his money.
@@yuliyacher67Why was he under care of a nurse, if he was so healthy?
RIP
Alexander Godunov
(1949-1995)
Thanks Scott, never saw this clip...is there any more clips or documentaries on him that you know of ???
he had a cool persona..liked him in "Die Hard"..
I ADORED him!
I loved that show! Use to watch it back in the late 80s early 90s.
Gudunov gone too soon RIP; love your cameo Grave Line Tours, interesting tidbit info on Linkletter’s death, 2:40 is a teaser
Loved that cameo voice over appearance by some dude from Grave Line Tours. We want more from him!!
LOL, “that morbid grave line tour” that we all love! Thanks for sharing Scott!
Scott says, “Me.” Lol
Thanks for the publicity! lol
I love him!
A. Godunov is remembered and loved to this day, and not only in the USA!) Nobody investigated his death. There was no autopsy, the true causes of death are unknown. Sasha had envious and ill-wishers during his lifetime, and remained after his death (Many Friends and relatives from Riga were not invited to say goodbye. Sasha was and is a unique dancer, a talented artist who was not forgiven him superiority and after his death (
I kept playing her saying the "Connie Chung phone poll" Bahaha!
2:10 I recognize good ol Scott Michael’s voice all the way back in 95’
Justice delayed is justice denied...RIP Diane and Alex
Chi è Dian
grazie
I remember watching this episode. So I guess I was introduced to Scott earlier than I thought!!
Lora Carlash I agree with you. He was MURDERED.
I thought he died at Nakatomi Tower?
He was with Jacqueline Bisset for several years, after his first marriage.
Great clip of you! Thanks for sharing!
Very sad end for him..especially considering what he had been through in life.
His friend denied his alcoholism. The reason of his death requires additional investigation. No single real proof he drunk himself to death. No autopsy, no blood test were done. His ashes were not given to the ones who was supposed to. His relatives were not allowed to attend the funeral. Almost no one saw his body.
@@yuliyacher67 I wonder what really happened?
@@yuliyacher67 damn, that’s very strange.
@@yuliyacher67 if you have hepatitis to the point it kills you, there's obvious physical signs. Your eyes and skin will have a telltale yellowish hue.
Убийство 💯, менеджера судить надо было, та ещё сука, деньги она сперла, а когда он родственников собрался перевозить Годунова убили, иначе вскрывать бы растрата
Great video! Thanks, Scott. ❤️
Wow I always wondered what happened to him. RIP we enjoyed all your work sir. I'm watching die hard as I write this
Loved this kind. I heard ya Scott ❤️. I think Penny Daniels was mesmerized with Charles Manson in her interview with him.
the author of the video - died long ago (in 2004). the professional activity of producer and screenwriter Rod Peterson falls on the period 1950-1981). in the 90s (at 91, at 95) he had only 2 jobs as a screenwriter. A commemorative video about A. Godunov is not included in his works. Probably, the video itself was compiled from a press release by Arlene Medan, manager of A. Godunov, in the same 1995, and timed to coincide with the memorable date. No one delved into the essence of the events that took place, no one remembers the details of the relationship between the manager Arlene Medan and her client and boss A. Godunov at the time of his death. Shortly before the sudden death of A. Godunov, similar to MURDER - A. Medan and A. Godunov were in a quarrel ... REVENGE of an offended woman, an employee and subordinate can be insidious and terrible ... even through the spread of posthumous dirty lies about the former employer, and who collaborated with A. Medan for 15 years. SOMEONE is very interested so that the true cause of death of the famous artist remains unknown. The video clip tells about Alexander until the age of 88, but SASHA lived and worked for another 7 years ... He had creative and eventful years. The last film with Sasha's participation was filmed in 95, and was released after his death, dedicated to his memory.
How come that no one in this world raised an issue of total negligence of Justice Authority to the abhorrent lies about the reasons of Alexander Godunov death and moreover about the evident murder of the world famous person. Of so many virtues. The reason of the quarrel between Alexander and his manager knows nobody though it's clear that after his visit to his home country he took his decision to bring his mom to America which ruined the plans of she-predator Medon. Where is she now with all Alexander's millions and his archive?!? Why no autopsy done to prove all her slander??? That is the common thing in such situations. But not in 'civilized' America and Europe.
Вот и я про это говорю , работал, миллионные счета, и вдруг он был пьяница , уголовное дело надо было заводить на медан, быстро подсуетилась она, деньги растратила пади
Ti prego...raccontami di cosa è morto e perché magari.Chi gli ha fatto del male e perché....ti prego.
@@luciabitonte8276No body could heart him. Alexander was a strong man. Probably he was murdered.,because of provoking jealousy. His bank account and money, disappeared with his financial manager.
Sad....
Sorry the video cut off abruptly I wanted to hear more. It's so sad somebody has to die that young. He must have had a lot of demons
He had no single demon. His death was mystery.
Anch'io ti prego.Vorrei saper il perché, com'è avvenuta di cosa la sua morte e le persone cattive che lo circondavano....ti prego.Sulnpalco era dritto e ruggente nella vita era dolce e sensibile...troppo per questa vita
Most probably he was killed. Dead just 1 month before his family was suppose to join him in LA and live together. Arlin did not want his family around him. So she could sign his will and take all his money.
The senario of murder by Arline Medan is the most possible..... She has His money. She had the motivation to do it. Pretty obvious?
@@liliivanova2920 But Arline Medan was not the only person that wanted Alexander to be dead. Alexander was surrounded by enemies.
Whaaat where's the ending?
May 18, 1995. Elizabeth Montgomery died on this day.
Intresting had not heard of him.
Weird ending?
Oh yes! Very weird! His death really needs in additional investigation.
The death of Alexander is like murder. And it is surprising that in the USA they did not investigate the death of the famous dancer and artist (and all newspaper and video publications of that period (1995) refer to the press release, to the words of the former employee and manager A.

@@yuliyacher67 Arlene Medan is that one who should be wanted by the Interpol if American Justice did nothing. Pretty obvious the crime is hers...
RIP
I heard he had injuries from his ballet days that he didn't bother to seek help with and instead drank/self-medicated to deal with the pain
Sasha was totally healthy, never had any serious injuries. Was happy person and enjoyed his life. He was not an alcoholic and the reason of his death is completely unknown.
What injuries?? He gained everything he wanted in 😂the west.
He drunk himself to death. Wasn't gay. He & Jacqueline Bisset were a couple. Remember seeing them walking in the Village wearing fur coats. Beautiful looking couple. 🙏🏻
It's not true. No single real proof he drunk himself to death. No autopsy, no blood test were done.
why repeat a lie? and why do you like the "alcohol label" and are not interested in the true cause of A. Godunov's death?
@@lorakarlash248 I'd sure as hell like to know!
It was a shock when the news of his death hit the world.
You know, it's funny... when his career as a dancer seemed to come to a premature end, he was making a career as an actor. After WITNESS and DIE HARD, super-stardom seemed to be in the cards. But he said "no" to just about every role that came his way. Not wanting to play a danseur or another terrorist, he was sidelined. It's sad... he bottled up all his emotions so that his anxiety and depression were killing him. He tried to drink it away. He put away so much tobacco and alcohol. It was no wonder he died so prematurely.
Another cautionary tale... What a waste... He was something special...
Che bastardi gli altri direi.L'hanno portato alla morte
I don’t believe he died of natural causes. Arlin his business lady too quick cremated him. And all money was hers. And no interviews she gave. The police should have investigated this case. Looks like was paid everything before. That business lady Arlin, should be investigated too. I suppose it’s not her last or first victim!
I don't think it was a waste. I know what you mean but his path was his. It's sad forsure 😢😢
@@lisalee2885 If you mean that his path was the alcoholism, sorry but you are wrong. Because Alexander 's daylly program, (teaching for several hours in the ballet school, ghen having sports ,joking and tennis, then following courses for acting) this is not the daylly life of an alcoholic........
What are you talking about?? He was killed (poisoned), probably from Arline Medan.
"Including that morbid Grave Line Tour." lol! Oh, right - he was in "Witness." What a beautiful man. So many God-given gifts ... one can only wonder why he did what he did.
What did he do? Nothing. His death required special investigation.
@@yuliyacher67 He made the choice to drink to excess; there are consequences for that. His passing at such a young age was a tragedy.
@@cgg105 I say once more. Nobody knows the reason of his death. No single real proof he drunk himself to death. No autopsy, no blood test were done. His ashes were not given to the ones who was supposed to. His relatives were not allowed to attend the funeral. Almost no one saw his body. Jacqueline Bisset and relatives tried to investigate hid death.
@@yuliyacher67 Current Affair suggested "he was drinking himself to death." I never said that.
@@cgg105 Alcoholism like all addictions is a choice only initially. There's a point when to actually stop drinking would be so traumatic physically, the alcoholic could very well die. They have to keep drinking to live even though they are at the same time drinking themselves to death.
Man, West Hollywood is just a big dump
and this was 25 years ago.
What dump??? Are talking about his expensive apartment??
I believe he was slowly dying of a broken heart, alcohol just served to hasten his death
Sasha was totally happy person and enjoyed his life. He was not an alcoholic and the reason of his death is completely unknown.
Why deas he had a broken hart??? He was admired, beloved, and always surrounded by beautiful women. He loved many different women. He was never alone. And don't forget. Famous. successful and rich.
Never knew he died
I never realized how dramatic the 'reporting' tended to be on A Current Affair.
Kudos to Scott for the juicy details about Art Linklater's daughters death. I almost felt like I was there when it happened. I could just picture her clamoring over the counters and sink and jumping. I think she was probably murdered. I have no proof, but the guy that was with her at the time of her death Ed Durston was involved in another suspicious death of a beautiful young woman who had no drugs or alcohol her system when she 'drowned.' Art continued to tilt at windmills about the drug LSD. It fit in too well with his narrative.
Great job Scott!
the content of each video publication can and should be analyzed for the reliability of the information being replicated or broadcast. Getting to the bottom of the truth is always more important.
I had always wanted to take a Grave Line Tour! Why didn't I???
what happened to the video? It just stopped mid sentence.
And all the sudden a familiar voice. Did you know that you would be included in that piece?
I loved him as a dancer and as an actor. But, I don’t get why so many people cannot accept that he had an alcohol problem.
Because the real reason of his death was not vodka but murder.
Why you can't accept ghat HE COULD NOT BE ALCOHOLIC, because he was engaged with daylly hard ballet training and sports till the very last moment of his life. Impossible for an alcoholic.
@@aggelinairiniaggelaki2720 Because this is a corrupt troll from St. Petersburg.
@@aggelinairiniaggelaki2720 I don’t think you understand the term “functional alcoholic.”
@@yuliyacher67 Someone who disagrees with you has to be a Russian troll? 😅
Scott. We heard you!
Aww baby Scott!!
Why were we robbed of hearing the results of the Connie Chung phone poll?? LOL
I thought it was just me...always leave em wanting more, I guess.
“In a landmark building that has seen many stars rising… And falling”. I see what you did there… Diane Linkletter
Wasn’t he in Die Hard? Btw after watching this now I just want a video about Diane Linklater whoever she is
зачем повторять ложь? а почему вам нравится «алкогольная этикетка» и не интересует истинная причина смерти А. Годунова?why repeat a lie? and why do you like the "alcohol label" and are not interested in the true cause of A. Godunov's death?
He was in Die Hard
@@TheFunktipus1 Thanks I thought that was him
Baby Scott!
As you do!
Scott 2:40 wtf?
Wasn't he in die hard
Yes, he was
ended rather abruptly. Snag in the tape?
We are both professional but this personal…！！💢
?? What happened?

The most amazing dancer. Tall, powerful. No one can compare.
WTF IS THIS ?
Another athlete of his caliber and he was a smoker? Pffft. No wonder he died young.
Alexander quit smoking a 4 years before death. His death requires police investigation. There is really many strange around his death.
Godunov quitted smoking. He was not sick. He had decent money. That's why he was poisoned.
Boris Godunov's secret shame was not the forbidden love but the demon rum.
Not Boris but Alexander. What demon? Alexander was not alcoholic. It's slander. The reason of death is unknown until today.
@@yuliyacher67 Oh boy. I don't know why the guy died of, it's been 26 years, I wasn't there. The video says that many thought Godunov died of AIDS but his friends say he drank himself to death. I apologize for calling him Boris, I have no ill will to the guy's memory. I remember when he defected and then watched him in movies like Witness. He seemed like a good guy, but I'm sure he like all of us was not without his failings.
@@yuliyacher67 The reason of death is known: "Godunov's death was determined to be due to complications from hepatitis secondary to chronic alcoholism." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alexander_Godunov#Death
@@squinkque He didn't have any hepatitis. There were no autopsy, no blood tests. Sasha was healthy.
@@frezigrant3603 Holy shit, I never thought a male ballerina/2nd tier actor who died nearly THREE DECADES ago had such a cult going. I liked the guy well enough, he was an okay actor in the couple of movies I saw him in but he wasn't some holy saint. He died relatively young of alcoholism in Hollyweird. He wasn't the first and won't be the last. RIP, Mr. Godunov and I wish "Happy Trails" to all his devotees.
Elizabeth Montgomery died May 18 1995
There is not a single reliable evidence that Godunov even knew Elizabeth Montgomery
Годунов великий после Нижинского ( по времени ). В русском балете и известных всему миру

So they're trying to spin this as some mystery whilst at the same time interviewing a friend who said he had an alcohol problem and its likely his death was alcohol related so theres no mystery is there.
His friend? Which friend? Alexander didn’t have such friend. At first you should investigate the circumstances of his death.
@@yuliyacher67you're obviously some nut and you never even met this guy
Really tired with this false ,dirty story about alcoholism. Alexander Godunov, was probably murdered (poisoned).
