The fact that this list does not include Oliver Reed, yet includes people who have achieved long term sobriety (example: Ann-Margret is 44 years sober) just demonstrates their "research" is suspect.
Yeah, Ollie drank 108 pints of beer on his stag night! Robert Newton (Long John Silver in the 1950s _Treasure Island_ ) was a total, total alcoholic, a lovely man, but he just drank all the time and died aged 50. It went with job in those days, 1920s to around the 1980s, then the actors had to sober up, become health fanatics, drink Evian water at the Oscars, as Richard Harris put it, "whereas I had a bottle of Jack Daniels in my hand." Actors used to be vagabond drunkards. Now they have private jets, private Humvee, bodyguards, Adrenochrome and go to creepy islands and get lubed up at Diddy's. And now THOSE DAYS ARE OVER! What will they do now?
I'm old, I drank a lot in my life. Smoking drinking was the norm. I got sober for 14 years, quit smoking when it was .50 a pack. I now drink socially, never picked up smoking. It's a learned behavior in my case. My family were all drunks. Many died from it, some by crashing cars, or by bad innards. Just know, booze is way harder on the body than many know.
My parents never drank or smoked. They attended church and sober family functions. However, most of us teens had a rebellion phase, which we navigated all on our own!

Wonderful recounting of celebrities who had a fondness for the grape. Considering the pressures of the film and television industry, I would anticipate there are many more in the industry with similar problems who have flown below the radar. These stories may have had the unintended consequence of bringing some solace to others outside of notoriety without fame and but with equally difficult pressures who have turned to the grape for self-medication.
Favorite Peter O'Toole story. He went on Johnny Carson with a gold Rolex on both wrists. Johnny asked him why. "If I forget which arm my watch is on, I don't want to waste time looking at the other one" Legend
Favourite O'Toole story. He was in a play in London that had a matinee performance, but he went for a drink at lunchtime, met a friend and got terribly drunk. He then said "There's a good play on over the road, let's go see it!" They were sitting in the stalls watching, and he said to his mate "This is a good bit, this is where I come in. Oh, sh!t!
@@edeledeledel5490 Yes, that's a great one! His production of _Macbeth_ in 1980 was a glorious disaster. Peter was walking around in tennis shoes at one point. A true eccentric, greatly missed.

I just looked it up, one of articles said they had to scrape alcohol crystals off his spine. I think it's true he had crystals on his spine caused by alcohol, but were the crystals actually alcohol who knows.
probably much more likely uric acid crystalized (what causes arthritic gout) a disease of the endocrine and associated with heavy and prolonged alcohol use. Just a theory.
And the video also suggests real alcohol was used during filming of the Bond movies. Beyond the fact Hollywood figured out that was a very bad idea many decades before Craig ever played Bond, if you've ever worked on or simply watched a movie being made, you know scenes are very rarely done in one take....any actor drinking as much as Bond (real alcohol) wouldnt be fit for any more scenes that day...and time is money.
I suspect it was very much an act : have seen many documentaries about him. On a different genre Jimi Hendrix was portrayed as a wild man yet off stage he was a gentle lovely chap. It fitted in with Dean being one if the lads and part of the rat pack. With these lists ( which want to draw you in) you have to a certain extent have to take them with a grain of salt! They are certainly not always that accurate and like social media generally thrive on negativity!
Don Rickles talks of his drinking with Dean Martin. It may have been an act late in life, but like the other Rat Packers he went full steam. It was a different time and place. Only the person talking can identify as an alcoholic.
@@ts.elliot5870 Have delved a bit more into this and according to the internet he had great control over his drinking and was always the first to call it a night . Jim Bacon ( a columnist) and friends with Dean and Frank said that Frank spilt more than Dean drank ! It’s difficult to know for sure obviously as it’s all hearsay but feel we can all agree that these channels are very prone to exaggeration to draw people in ! Where do you draw the line between liking a drink and being an alcoholic??
You can find on YTube a interview Burton did in the late 70's on set (in Budapest I think). He's obviously hammered. And then he recites what he says is the most important poem ever written. And in an instant, his performance is so powerful .... worth checking out
@@Czechbound I did. It was from Budapest in the late 70s. He recited several impassioned poems, one of which he called the most important poem ever written. Why be rude when I thanked you for leading me to such a great interview?
Ollie Reed... Lovely bloke. He was getting on a bit when I was on a film with him. He couldn't really drink much and one evening he got into a bit of an argument with the director's brother. Ollie ducked the first punch then laid the fella out cleanly. This was then reported by the gutter press, saying he'd had two bottles of whisky, etc etc... He'd just finished the one and only pint he drank that evening - no whisky chasers, nothing under the table. He was quite frail really, but utterly disarming and not the flip side egomaniac you would come prepared for. I'm glad I didn't meet him when he was younger though, many who had worked with him before said they were surprised, amazed, at the change in him.
Regarding Nimoy, 83 is a long time for anyone. It's as though his smoking and alcoholism did not affect him as it seemingly did not affect George Burns who died at 100.
Well I mostly agree with you there are clips from him on the Johnny Carson show where he appeared drunk and Johnny Carson took a sip from his fake drink and it was not fake. And he did travel with the rat pack who were a group of hard drinkers. It's possible some of the "dean wasn't drunk" comments are revisionist. However I also believe he acted drunk a lot when he wasn't really drunk.
@@teresacoleman3638 he almost always had apple juice. If you watch him enough you'll see that when he was doing his show he was sober acting drunk. And there were other times he was clearly buzzing like a cheap speaker and had trouble keeping up with the conversation. There's nothing wrong with him getting drunk 12 times a year. It's not even particularly unhealthy.
A born in the fifties came up as a teenager in the 60s 70s it was a way of life drinking drugs alcohol my mother's been sober for 50 years through AA she's gone now but it was not from alcohol I'm still struggling with alcohol I go for a couple weeks not drinking then binge for the weekend Ben like that for years as it goes for right now I haven't drinking for 10 days I get paid tomorrow I don't want to drink I pray to God that he takes the obsession away from me I know I just need to trust in God you delivered my mother I'm sure he can deliver me
.....no one here was drunk all the time...some were also drug addicts like Monty...who did not drink because of anything to do with being gay...since he was actually pretty open about it...Wells didn't have a drinking problem according to any book i have read and that is dozens..... DO NOT take any video for truth....since there is something wrong about every person described here
According to a bio of Monty I read 30 years ago, he had a predilection for young, tough boys. I'm know that the "in crowd" kept gay actors secrets but self-destructive and possibly pedophilic behavior might have been a bridge too far for Monty. As an aside, I never felt his more roughed, after-the-horrible-accident face was ugly. I thought it gave him character. We all have our demons.
Nimoy, surprised me, I have been sober for 39yrs, and mostly tell if someone else has/had alcohol problems..Nimoy /Spock was my favorite Star Trek ..I saw him speak at Golden Gate park, against Vietnam, when I was 13..I also have an 17yr old grandson, nick named Spock, at he is much like the character, in personality and look....Radcliffe and Craig also surprised me a bit.
I grew up with a fella that drank just like these guys. Start off with bloody marys in the morning and keep drinking beers in the middle of the day and martinis at night. On Saturdays he'd start off with a cooler of beer and work for Bloody Marys in the afternoon and martinis at night. He was completely functional, but had bloody red eyes, quite civil fellow to deal with.
This video is hilarious, after each celebrity's story the narrator essentially goes "and all that horrible drinking is why they were loved by all and died a legend" hahahahaha
I’m so pleased that Elizabeth Taylor’s involvement in bringing AIDS awareness into the mainstream was mentioned-her impact on normalizing gayness as a part of life’s panoply of paths was _ENORMOUS!_ The sweetest and most wonderful person I have ever known was the first person I’d ever heard mention AIDS (still known as “gay cancer” at that time), and I can remember telling him “don’t be silly, cancer doesn’t know you’re gay,” because even though my life was/is mostly gay-centered, I wasn’t a gay man in the 1980s. He died in 1988, and I still cry on his birthday and tell him how much I love him, and miss him, and think of him. I’m crying now…gotta go
Thanks for including Robert Mitchum. He was known for constant drinking and smoking. I’ve learned that the more you bring an addiction out in the open and talk about it, the more you overcome it. Don’t hide addiction. Shine light on it and make it public. This leads to walking away from it. Jesus Christ said in John 8:32 “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
When you bring god and Jesus and spirituality into it I just want to avoid being anything like you, I want to avoid your pathetic little 12 step cult plans and I want to get a drink. My grandfather drank a lot till he was 70 then stopped because of his liver then lived to 90. No AA, No God, just willpower.
WC Fields was a master juggler and could do amazing things with a pool cue. All that while being a roaring alcoholic. Of course, when most of these people were young, children were abused by adults and sent into mines and horrible factories. They likely had to forget those horrific childhood traumas.
I hope the editor is aware he used a clip of Vincent D’Onfrio in the Orson Welles segment from his portrayal of Welles in “Ed Wood”, Lucille Ball dressing up as Talulah Bankhead, and Kristen Wiig spoofing Anna Margaret in that great SNL sketch.
A Negroni is a cocktail made with equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari. Garnish slice of orange Gin: Some prefer to use a dry London gin like Tanqueray or Beefeater's Sweet vermouth: Some recommend Rubino, a sweet red vermouth from Martini that's made specifically for Negronis Campari: An alcoholic liqueur
These lists are getting more and more inaccurate and sensationalist: suggest not to take them seriously!! Why don’t we have a list of famous people who died tragically soon after their 100 th birthday : Bob Hope, George Burns , Vera Lynn, Kirk Douglas, Kathleen Harrison , Olivia de Haviland, Glynis Johns etc. That should certainly pull at the old heart strings !
I think this was focusing on “classic Hollywood’s stars…like during the time of Movie Studios practically owning their stars. For all their fame, glamour, and money, I don’t think many of them were truly happy, and the studio system was one reason why.
@@The_Hutchyboy Something you’re overlooking is that whoever drinks alcohol harms only their body. Whoever is smoking creates secondhand smoke and harms others. I think the numbers are clearly tobacco unfairly adversely affects more people even including drunk driving.
The classic Peter O'Toole story is that he took a drinking pal from a bar over to a nearby theater to see a play that he thought was really good. At one point, he leaned over to his pal and said, "You'll like this next bit. This is where I come on." My Favorite Year - a solid O'Toole flick. On the Dick Cavett show, Dick Van Dyke talked about getting drunk virtually every night of his life since he was a boy, but said he never drank until his work day was over.
It's interesting how the mention of 'nose candy' was glossed over and not addressed more directly. I doubt any of these heavy drinkers could have done their job without lots of it, and also other 'speed' type drugs.
“Wild” drinking. “Wild” parties. We always romanticize bad behavior related to alcohol. Many of those who are under the influence are violent, and intolerable. No other intoxicant is treated the same way, and I cannot fathom why.

@@ts.elliot5870 Have delved a bit more into this and according to the internet he had great control over his drinking and was always the first to call it a night . Jim Bacon ( a columnist) and friends with Dean and Frank said that Frank spilt more than Dean drank ! It’s difficult to know for sure obviously as it’s all hearsay but feel we can all agree that these channels are very prone to exaggeration to draw people in ! Where do you draw the line between liking a drink and being an alcoholic??
You can find on YTube a interview Burton did in the late 70's on set (in Budapest I think). He's obviously hammered. And then he recites what he says is the most important poem ever written. And in an instant, his performance is so powerful .... worth checking out
Thank you! I found it. RICHARD BURTON interview in depths by JÚLIA BALÓ
It is a fascinating & candid interview.
@@mmerriman4995 No, you didn't find it. That is a completely different interview. Did you actually watch it ? smh
@@Czechbound I did. It was from Budapest in the late 70s. He recited several impassioned poems, one of which he called the most important poem ever written. Why be rude when I thanked you for leading me to such a great interview?
Probly drunk!!
Most suprised with ann margaret , im happy she was able to quit 40 some years ago.
Drinking is not the answer
But it helps forget the question😂
Ollie Reed... Lovely bloke. He was getting on a bit when I was on a film with him. He couldn't really drink much and one evening he got into a bit of an argument with the director's brother. Ollie ducked the first punch then laid the fella out cleanly. This was then reported by the gutter press, saying he'd had two bottles of whisky, etc etc... He'd just finished the one and only pint he drank that evening - no whisky chasers, nothing under the table. He was quite frail really, but utterly disarming and not the flip side egomaniac you would come prepared for. I'm glad I didn't meet him when he was younger though, many who had worked with him before said they were surprised, amazed, at the change in him.
Since when is Billy Joel a "Hollywood" star? There are plenty of actors who could have been included in his stead.
"If you can lay on the floor without holding on, you're not really drunk."
Dean Martin
My best friend of 33 years drank a 12 pack of beer a day. He died at 55 of throat cancer and liver issues. :-(
I'm sorry for your loss 💔
Regarding Nimoy, 83 is a long time for anyone. It's as though his smoking and alcoholism did not affect him as it seemingly did not affect George Burns who died at 100.
George Burns smoked cigars till he died, never heard that he drank at all.
@LJ-ht4zs Burns smokes at least 20 cigars a day, drinks at least six martinis and hates fruits and vegetables.
Nimoy had emphysema and was a recovering alcoholic.
Did we miss Oliver Reed ?
All those beers...ya gotta pee all the time!!!
Can't say you been drinking all day if you don't start in the morning
😂😂
I quit drinking except an occasional craft beer. 🍺
Wonderful day, next morning is frightful...
Errol Flynn's autopsy doctor observed that he had the body of a 75-year-old man at age 50.
Dean Martin's "drinking" was part of his act. Martin was a family man and was home for dinner every day.
Well I mostly agree with you there are clips from him on the Johnny Carson show where he appeared drunk and Johnny Carson took a sip from his fake drink and it was not fake.
And he did travel with the rat pack who were a group of hard drinkers.
It's possible some of the "dean wasn't drunk" comments are revisionist.
However I also believe he acted drunk a lot when he wasn't really drunk.
He always had apple juice.
@@teresacoleman3638 he almost always had apple juice.
If you watch him enough you'll see that when he was doing his show he was sober acting drunk. And there were other times he was clearly buzzing like a cheap speaker and had trouble keeping up with the conversation.
There's nothing wrong with him getting drunk 12 times a year. It's not even particularly unhealthy.
Dean's only vice was golf. ;-) He loved to play golf and he was good.
Wait, Gregory Peck is pictured at the beginning but no clip of his Alc habits.
That photo is from one of his movies filmed in Germany. He lived to a healthy old age. Surviving families of maligned artists should sue.
I don’t think Gregory Peck was an alcoholic
@@CD-db1zo I don't either. It bothers me that his photo bated people like me, who is a fan of his, surprised by his inclusion.
A born in the fifties came up as a teenager in the 60s 70s it was a way of life drinking drugs alcohol my mother's been sober for 50 years through AA she's gone now but it was not from alcohol I'm still struggling with alcohol I go for a couple weeks not drinking then binge for the weekend Ben like that for years as it goes for right now I haven't drinking for 10 days I get paid tomorrow I don't want to drink I pray to God that he takes the obsession away from me I know I just need to trust in God you delivered my mother I'm sure he can deliver me
Brother, praying to God is the best remedy for the alcohol obsession. Just ask him and it will be lifted, that weight will be off your back.
W.C. Fields never drank while sleeping. That might be why us 1970's college student liked him so much.
.....no one here was drunk all the time...some were also drug addicts like Monty...who did not drink because of anything to do with being gay...since he was actually pretty open about it...Wells didn't have a drinking problem according to any book i have read and that is dozens.....
DO NOT take any video for truth....since there is something wrong about every person described here
I don't.
According to a bio of Monty I read 30 years ago, he had a predilection for young, tough boys. I'm know that the "in crowd" kept gay actors secrets but self-destructive and possibly pedophilic behavior might have been a bridge too far for Monty.
As an aside, I never felt his more roughed, after-the-horrible-accident face was ugly. I thought it gave him character. We all have our demons.
Believe half of what you see and nothing you hear.
Hollywood Babylon is a pack of scurrilous lies.
Nimoy, surprised me, I have been sober for 39yrs, and mostly tell if someone else has/had alcohol problems..Nimoy /Spock was my favorite Star Trek ..I saw him speak at Golden Gate park, against Vietnam, when I was 13..I also have an 17yr old grandson, nick named Spock, at he is much like the character, in personality and look....Radcliffe and Craig also surprised me a bit.
As Joe Walsh ( from the band THE EAGLES) liked to say, " I'm not a alcoholic, I've just had the one drink for a very long time"
WC Fields “I spent half of my money on booze,gambling, and wild women, and I wasted the other half.”
My grandfather smoked 60 cigarettes a day and drank half a bottle of whisky a day and he lived to the ripe old age of 26.
That's sad.
😂
@@motthoople7322 I'll drink to that
I grew up with a fella that drank just like these guys. Start off with bloody marys in the morning and keep drinking beers in the middle of the day and martinis at night. On Saturdays he'd start off with a cooler of beer and work for Bloody Marys in the afternoon and martinis at night. He was completely functional, but had bloody red eyes, quite civil fellow to deal with.
Is he still around?
Amazingly he lived into his late sixties . How can somebody abuse their body like that and the body keeps going. How amazing
@@stdyrn1237 Late sixties is relatively young.
Someone asked Richard Harris how much he spends on a bottle of wine and he said ten minutes.
I kinda remember those days, 25 beers a day. Yeah. Rough times.
24 beers in a case ... 24 hours in a day ... COINCIDENCE ????
Been there done that.
? ok loser
This video is hilarious, after each celebrity's story the narrator essentially goes "and all that horrible drinking is why they were loved by all and died a legend" hahahahaha
Are there or were there any famous actors who were not raving alcoholics???¿
Robe Lowe, Daniel Radcliffe are a couple … Brad Pitt I believe does not drink
I’m so pleased that Elizabeth Taylor’s involvement in bringing AIDS awareness into the mainstream was mentioned-her impact on normalizing gayness as a part of life’s panoply of paths was _ENORMOUS!_ The sweetest and most wonderful person I have ever known was the first person I’d ever heard mention AIDS (still known as “gay cancer” at that time), and I can remember telling him “don’t be silly, cancer doesn’t know you’re gay,” because even though my life was/is mostly gay-centered, I wasn’t a gay man in the 1980s. He died in 1988, and I still cry on his birthday and tell him how much I love him, and miss him, and think of him. I’m crying now…gotta go
Gig Young was the worst movie star alcholic ever. He drank himself into insanity then killed his wife, then turned the gun on himself. NUTS!
Montgomery Clift's performance in Judgement in Nuremberg was a tour de force! One of the most emotionaly wrenching scenes in movies
100% agree!
And where is that lovable town-drunk Otis, might I ask?
Thanks for including Robert Mitchum. He was known for constant drinking and smoking. I’ve learned that the more you bring an addiction out in the open and talk about it, the more you overcome it. Don’t hide addiction. Shine light on it and make it public. This leads to walking away from it. Jesus Christ said in John 8:32 “Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”
When you bring god and Jesus and spirituality into it I just want to avoid being anything like you, I want to avoid your pathetic little 12 step cult plans and I want to get a drink.
My grandfather drank a lot till he was 70 then stopped because of his liver then lived to 90.
No AA, No God, just willpower.
"Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." is the correct quote.
WC Fields was a master juggler and could do amazing things with a pool cue. All that while being a roaring alcoholic. Of course, when most of these people were young, children were abused by adults and sent into mines and horrible factories. They likely had to forget those horrific childhood traumas.
OH! MY GOSH!! Good editing???
Movies : The Lost Weekend. Days of Wine and Roses.
Thanks. I like the stories and the the pictures. Doesn't take anything away from their talent.
You only put a space after the fullstop, not before.*
@@einundsiebenziger5488 thanks ...... I fixed it. 😆
I hope the editor is aware he used a clip of Vincent D’Onfrio in the Orson Welles segment from his portrayal of Welles in “Ed Wood”, Lucille Ball dressing up as Talulah
Bankhead, and Kristen Wiig spoofing Anna Margaret in that great SNL sketch.
Tallulah.
@@outerrealmI was drunk! 😂
A Negroni is a cocktail made with equal parts gin, sweet vermouth, and Campari. Garnish slice of orange
Gin: Some prefer to use a dry London gin like Tanqueray or Beefeater's
Sweet vermouth: Some recommend Rubino, a sweet red vermouth from Martini that's made specifically for Negronis
Campari: An alcoholic liqueur
snl what a loser show not even relevant
Fascinating show. I can identify with every one of them.
I'm surprised Judy Garland isn't included. Both she and Liza were alcoholics.
Holy moly, these stories are wild. What maniacs.
These lists are getting more and more inaccurate and sensationalist: suggest not to take them seriously!! Why don’t we have a list of famous people who died tragically soon after their 100 th birthday : Bob Hope, George Burns , Vera Lynn, Kirk Douglas, Kathleen Harrison , Olivia de Haviland, Glynis Johns etc. That should certainly pull at the old heart strings !
Who is Kathleen Harrison?
No Johnny Depp? No Robert Downey Jr? Lindsay Lohan? Ben Affleck? Mel Gibson?...
They are all quitters
God H8s a quitter ❤
I think this was focusing on “classic Hollywood’s stars…like during the time of Movie Studios practically owning their stars. For all their fame, glamour, and money, I don’t think many of them were truly happy, and the studio system was one reason why.
@@kenmc6860Depp has never quit wine. He has an enormous collection of wine.
The worst drug of all is tobacco, namely cigarettes with its powerful nicotine, the biggest killer of all.
Your point is clear, but I don’t think tobacco is considered a drug. The most dangerous and destructive drug is ETOH…alcohol.
@@The_Hutchyboy Something you’re overlooking is that whoever drinks alcohol harms only their body. Whoever is smoking creates secondhand smoke and harms others.
I think the numbers are clearly tobacco unfairly adversely affects more people even including drunk driving.
@@The_Hutchyboy
These days tobacco is totally considered a drug in most countries. You must have missed something somewhere...😆
A friend of mine told me his mother died at 100 yrs old and smoked a pack of camels everyday!
Tabacco and alcohol run neck-and-neck. Trust me. Signed, A retired mortuary employee.
I only drink twice a year, when it's my birthday and when it's not my birthday.
takes a pretty solid mind to live in the now 100% sober for an entire life
The classic Peter O'Toole story is that he took a drinking pal from a bar over to a nearby theater to see a play that he thought was really good. At one point, he leaned over to his pal and said, "You'll like this next bit. This is where I come on." My Favorite Year - a solid O'Toole flick. On the Dick Cavett show, Dick Van Dyke talked about getting drunk virtually every night of his life since he was a boy, but said he never drank until his work day was over.
Robert Shaw. Shredded most of the time.
I don’t think they were drinking heavily all the time. Most days/nights were probably just 5-10 drinks. Especially for Bogart and Sinatra.
I did not know so many were alcoholics, and how they managed to work is beyond me
Multi skilled they drank & worked at the same time
It always gets you in the end
It's interesting how the mention of 'nose candy' was glossed over and not addressed more directly. I doubt any of these heavy drinkers could have done their job without lots of it, and also other 'speed' type drugs.
Thank you, Brother Roberts.
Clift's story is tragic. His scenes in Judgement at Nuremberg are really difficult to watch knowing his backstory. Enjoyed your vid, thanks 😊
*love all actors*
You didn't mention Mitchums infamous Marijauna Bust in 1948.
I drink to forget but I'm so drunk I can't remember what I need to forget. BTW it's your round
In these folks era I think there was a law that every house have a bar in the living room and all adults must smoke. (kidding)
I live just down the street from the pub where Oliver Reed died.
You live in Malta? That’s where he died.
Most of the big drinkers ended up beneath ground before their time.
"To end up beneath" sounds somewhat ironic.
Once you've had scrambled eggs that taste like Jack Daniels it's sort of ruins it for life😂✨😎✨🖤✨
... it* sort of ruins it
It's who put pineapple juice in my pineapple juice?!
WC Fields.
“Wild” drinking. “Wild” parties.
We always romanticize bad behavior related to alcohol.
Many of those who are under the influence are violent, and intolerable.
No other intoxicant is treated the same way, and I cannot fathom why.
What! No OLIVER REED?😮
Should be there .
