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 saw her once in person....seot.70 at Ekvis' show in Vegas...Elvis said when he introduced her...shelley winters shes won an iscar i hate her...ha ha just kidding....apparently in 56 he hung around her house with Natalie wood...used Shelleys phone to call his mom in Memphis...she is a gem!!!...i just love listening to all her interviews!!! A real special lady she definitely was!!!!! ❤
Bless Shelley's heart....no matter how popular it became to bash Marilyn Monroe, Shelley Winters never joined in and ALWAYS staunchly defended their friendship...true integrity all the way!
@@davidallen508...all the more testimony as to her true worth as am actress as the role was completely180° from her own beliefs, was a bery uncomfortable role for her to play!
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.
I am reading Ms. Winters' books right now and it is wonderful to listen to her talk. There's no doubt that Shelley Winters did not require a ghost writer (but maybe a good editor). We are so lucky to have an actor of this calibre speaking so candidly.
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.
What a sweetheart. So genuine absolutely and fully herself, so sweet, feel I know her from this. Imagining having Shelley over for tea and cake and she'd be exactly the same. Gorgeous lady.
And now... we cry when we learn of her absence.... I was 17.... she passed just months before my Great Grandmother. .... I wish I could have met her once.
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.
@@randylaramore9064 Very moving...the music. ( I can't but cry everytime I hear it ) The sincere acting of the main actress playing the blind girl...and what's even more sad is how the life of this actress ended.
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!
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!! 😘
the Road: I did 3 years on the road alone doing almost 1,000 Elderly facilities up at 5am, traveling 200/300 miles day, performing several times a day, and not a person or place to go by the time I finish at 11:30pm. ..... I didn't know if I was a Truck Driver (something I've done) or an Entertainer.....
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Recollecting takes a few more beats when you're older. And she had a lot of life experience to remember. The important thing is what Ms. Winters contributed to film acting.
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.

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.....
Yes, a whole different animal from her talk-show appearances.
So what new things did you learn from the interview?
I still miss Shelley. I hope that she had found all she needed. A lovely woman. Jxxx
What an interesting, intelligent and witty lady Shelley Winters was. I could watch and listen to her all day long. Great actress too!!
I always enjoyed Shelley Winters on screen. After this interview I admire her-- tremendously.
A lovely lady inside and out. Rest in peace, Miss Winters.

She was great in A Patch of Blue.
Yes , but she comes across as just too cruel for my wanting to watch that film again.

I love the interviewer who does this series - she's incisive yet friendly.
Her autobiographical books are awesome and super entertaining. I loved her.

Pure class .Thank you for posting .
Great actress and nice lady. She always spoke highly of Marilyn
Not only a great actress, Shelly is a wonderful teacher. I enjoyed listening to her.

Poseidon Adventure!!! Powerful character,hero
What a sweetheart. So genuine absolutely and fully herself, so sweet, feel I know her from this. Imagining having Shelley over for tea and cake and she'd be exactly the same. Gorgeous lady.
Even in her less memorable films, her performance as an actress was always brilliant. 😊
Shelly was Magnificent.
RIP
Yes she was. ❤💔
Terrific late-career interview with Shelley; she's insightful and touching reminiscing about her life and work.
Wonderful interview, thank you!
She was amazing in A Place In The Sun
I love all her work.

She was great in A Place in the Sun.
I love Shelley Winters she certainly was marvelous!! Great interview. I absolutely love hearing her stories and her voice. I miss her.
Shelley was a great actress!!! She was one of my favorites!! She was witty too!!! She is missed!!❤❤
And now... we cry when we learn of her absence.... I was 17.... she passed just months before my Great Grandmother. .... I wish I could have met her once.
She was great in A Place In The Sun 😎
Oh when she spoke about John Garfield oh my heart 💗 he is my favorite 💗
💗
Nice comments about the great John Garfield!
I enjoy this channel. Educational and entertaining and informative.
A total bombshell 🎉 beautiful actress
She really was beautiful, all through her life.
What a great interview. Wonderful woman. ...Rowby.
Excellent interview!
I wish they’d given Shelly Winters and Rosemary Clooney a golden girls/Lavern and Shirley type sitcom to star in together

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.
Wasn't it Wellman that lost an eye in a auto accident ?
No. A rabbit 🐇 hit his windshield (Raoul Walsh) while driving.
@@drewknight7126 No - that was Raoul Walsh - Wellman never lost an eye.
@@MothGirl007 Your right! I miss wrote. We were talking about both directors and I wasn't paying attention. I had Wellman in my head!
Yes, Raoul Walsh, a great character.
A patch of blue ❣💚💙💜💓💞💕💝💖💗❤💥💫👏😪
That's the one she got the Oscar for, right?
@@christiananderson4909 Exactly. Very moving movie and still accurate.
That was a great movie...kinda sad
@@randylaramore9064 Very moving...the music. ( I can't but cry everytime I hear it ) The sincere acting of the main actress playing the blind girl...and what's even more sad is how the life of this actress ended.

Shelley agreat actress i did see her academie she gave it to the Ann Frank museum. She had a fantastic life
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!
Shelley didn't win her 2 Oscar's for nothing.
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!! 😘
cool music intro,,,lovely interview.

..... I didn't know if I was a Truck Driver (something I've done) or an Entertainer.....
I liked her in Winchester 73, James Stewart's comeback movie.

She was a great and underrated actress. The Poseidon Adventure, Lolita, The night of the Hunter and she was also in the original Alfie movie.
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.
I’m 60 and I’m bad with
names. Hell all my life!
I liked this interviewer,very personable unlike the one for June Allyson.
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.

23:06 brilliant lady
She was cute when she was younger with her buckteeth.
She seemed to struggle memorizing things.
Recollecting takes a few more beats when you're older. And she had a lot of life experience to remember. The important thing is what Ms. Winters contributed to film acting.
@@elizabethj8510 By this time Ms Winters had early onset Altzheimers. In her prime she was a witty storyteller.
@@davidmoser3535 Yes, I watched her on the Tonight Show back in the day. She was a hoot. "I have outbursts of being a lady but they don't last long."
Are you people kidding?!! With as much life as Shelley Winters has lived I think her recall was pretty damn great!!
@@drewknight7126 Yeah but I just noticed that she needed some time to find her answers, that's it, Nothing nasty. She was a really good actress.
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

It's easy to believe the stories about what a nightmare she was on set.
When was she a bombshell..?? Always played loose women.........
She was loose in real life, I don't understand all the people talking about what a great woman she was, she was a dirty peice of crap.
I hate that woman interviewing these actors- her voice is cringe 😬!!
Totally.
yes. unappealing
Why do women let them selves go like that???
Dementia........
