The older I get the more I admire Bing Crosby. He publicly acknowledged that he hadn’t done right with his first family and worked hard to do better with his second. He grew as a person.
Shame on you for giving this video a click bait title.
yeah, she was a lovely woman....
"Most Evil"? Absolute bullshit.
Thought as much, thanks for the heads up!
of course it is,HE CAME FROM NOTHING AND MADE IT,gotta be lies stacked by someone
I agree. My wife and kids thought I was out of line by me having the kids not go out at night on school days. Yeap, pure Evil of me ): ?
His sons revealed he beat them when they were little. This is old news.
Agree. Just bs
TH-cam viewers are intelligent and will never support Click Bait and False Claims. Wise Up. Your documentary is decent. Just give it a truthful title or you will fail.
''DECENT'' ? MY RRRRRS
*The most evil actor Of Hollywood's Golden age - Bing Crosby"*
Disgraceful title!
Bing, Jerry Lewis and so on were men that thought because they made the big money the family should treat them with much respect, but when their children disrespect the father they can't handle it. They are not Evil men, they are looking for the respect they feel they deserve.
Every time I get interested in one of these homemade documentaries something happens to turn me off. Misinformation for one. At 1:27 the voice, probably AI, says Bing died in 1907. That means he was a walking corpse through the entire 20th century. If you're going to go through all of the effort to make a documentary, make sure you get the information right. And use your own voice, or hire a voice talent, for crying out loud! So no, if you can't get one piece of information right, then I will not watch to the end. There's probably more misfires to come.
Now, I'm a fan of old movies, especially B&W movies. But I could never take seriously the idea that Hollyweird thought Crosby and Fred Astaire were..."hunks" that made women swoon. I mean come on, they were tiny little men in stature. And not handsome by any measure. Sing and/or dance, sure. It's what they did. But a Dorothy Lamour wouldn't have given a thought to either. Same with Bob Hope.
Hollywood is about fake things.
Your opinion of course. But those were different times. What goes for handsome and good-looking today is much different than in those days. I find today's styles and men's fashions kind of ridiculous.
True but Rudy Vallee left the girls of back then fainted in the aisles, that crooning tenor voice and sax combo doing the needed trick. When he did his signature tune "My Time Is Your Time" they were burned to a crisp -- finished!
Crosby was not short! He was 5'10" which is the average height for an American man. Fred Astaire was short (5'7") but he kept his weight down and looked taller by doing so.
Men's fashion, today ? Really ? Where. ?@@kurtb8474
Call yourself a journalist; you have missed-out one of the most poignant incidents in Crosby's life. In 1976 he underwent a life-and-death operation for the removal of one of his lungs due to cancer ! The rest of your programme is based on rumour and the ramblings of a bunch of selfish, over-indulged ugly spoiled brats, who lacked the respect that was due to a father who kept them in clover for the entirety of their lives ! Their deaths were object lessons of selfishness, greed and over-indulgence; something that would - in contrast with Bing's personal failings - make him an angel !
Interesting because he died in 1973!
@bnz300 He died in 1977 not 1973, get your facts straight. I was in high school hool when he died.
oh please. you accuse the journalist of pulling the same shit you're doing - unless you lived under the same roof as the Crosbys you have no clue. spare me your reasons for 2 sons taking their own lives.
Most big movie stars are not fit to be parents... PERIOD.
The only person I can think of who was WORSE than Bing Crosby,..., it was Andy Williams- the most abusive person I have ever seen-literally. Worked for Pebble Beach Company in the 80s and personally saw his verbal abuse at the Lodge's front doors. He "was" one of my favorites till I witnessed William's numerous attempts to make Pebble Beach employees feel like trash.
So how was he evil. His kids were rotten and he gave them everything. and 2 turned on him.
Never blame the children. Who birthed them? Who brought them up? Do you have an axe to grind?
We all have Dads that work hard to provide for us.
@@Patrick-yh5yd No Sir. Lots of people have parents who are, shall we say, under par. You didn't know this?
Try not to talk piffle. It's bad for you.
yep actors shouldn't have children - Lana Turner's daughter killed her mom's boyfriend, Bing's son's accused him of abuse, 2 sons killed themselves, Marlon Brando - one suicide, one died in prison, Joan Crawford - we all know that one. the track record aint great.
Utter nonsense! The title is unforgivably very accusative, with no suggestion of doubt! Even Bob Hope spoke out to debunk Gary’s vile accusations! Yet another sensationalist, misleading, click-baiting title!
Yes 'most evil' I think not so maybe as human were not perfect that's life Bing Crosby is legend & good actor singer.GOD BLESS
This has to be the trashiest, muck-raking channel on youtube.
I agree, It's makes me sick.
Seems to be!
Oh no, stay tuned it gets better.
Kills me how these spoiled brat kids who had everything possible and more then trash there mother or father as evil because they yelled at them or disaplined a time or two, these kids make me sick.
Oh how I hated his sons. Mutants the lot of them.
Crosby is an icon. This is a man who had a family and supported them.
He was an abusive father he said he would give this kids the inheritance when they turned 65 get out of here I believe he was a terrible person
@ you live in a dream world where work is a vile part of living. do not worry as america is turning into your dream reality where everyone says give me, give me, give me
If you want to know about a person, look at how their children speak about them, bing probably lived two lives, his public nice guy life and his private life the public would never know about.
No such thing as rotten children, right?.
@@NCLUSA sometimes the parents can create rotten children especially if they are rotten parents...generational transfer.
I certainly wouldn't want to term Bing as being evil. To me he's just the average everyday dad like those we have today. No big deal. I'll always love being about and cherish his movies like Going My Way and The Bells of Saint Mary's. I guess that kind of dates me, doesn't it? lol
HORRIBLE REPORTING! VERY VERY BAD 👎 EMBARRASSING 👎
Oy! I really don''t like when this crap comes out, after someone passes. It just seems opportunistic and disingenuous His one son was more than likely correct in condemning his brother. I'm not sure why that they don't mention Hope and Crosby, in this video. They were certainly a great team. People ain't perfect and their private lives should remain just that. Either way, tearing down an icon after this many years, just isn't right.
Bull- I worked at La Costa Country Club in San Diego county. All the stars were great and pretty reserved. I was a surfer then and didn't watch tv at all-did a room service one morning for Annie Dickinson and Burt and noticed she didn't sign the check. I told her, hey lady, you need to sign. She looked at me like you should know who I am. Police Woman was huge then. Burt Lancaster wore insulated underwear like my grandfather. The Rolling Stones ate in the bar and had steak sandwiches and fries. They were skinny. I didn't know who they were but they were crunched in a booth so tight and didn't say much. Marisa Barenson chased me around the dinning room one night. She was in Barry Linden and was big at that time. She had on the tightest black jeans with silver outline all over. Every time I would stand by a pillar in my station, I would look over and there she was, smiling. She was short, but cute. Anyway
bing crosby and frank sinatra were both born with perfect pitch. he started as a big band singer, where perfect pitch would be a huge help.
He was an abusive, cheating, bully. He treated those who should have been the most important to him like shit.
Bing Crosby looked like hell for old age. He looked more like 93 when he passed.
I have reported this to TH-cam, “ false information”. FXXK you for saying Bing was an “ Evil actor”.
Bing's sons from the first marriage were an absolute disgrace, with the carousing, the women, and drinking. When they reached 21, papa Bing gave each one million, but they did a good job at spending it down to nothing, and Bing was fed up with the behavior, and then they needed more. The Alcohol gene from Mom, took hold on the boys, and after Bing's death 2 of his boys committed Suicide. Sad, for I think Bing was a good guy. Gary Crosby wrote a book about his dad, telling what a jerk he was, only because he needed some money. Sometime, it's sad to be from a famous family.
This story needs a few corrections. His real name was Harry as stated but he got the name “Bing!” because the other kids would shoot at him with their slingshots using Bing cherries for ammo. When they hit his head he got “Binged” and the name stuck. Then later at school the kids would walk by him and say “Bing! Bing!” The name stuck and he grew resentful when it followed him into adulthood. He would occasionally have nightmares of being attacked by hordes of Bing cherries hitting him in the noggin. His wife would shake him to rouse him from his fevered dreams screaming “Bing! Bing! What is it Bing? It was like he was being taunted in his dreams and in his real life. Ultimately this lead to him drinking heavily and wearing a football helmet when he was out in public. One time a waitress at the film studio commissary asked him if he’d like a slice of cherry pie. He took offence and started attacking her saying she was part of a conspiracy. A doctor was called and he was given a shot with a sedative and strapped to a gurney. As he was wheeled to a waiting ambulance bystanders were asking in hushed tones “Who is it? Who is it?” and others would reply “Bing!” It’s Bing”! Life had become a never ending cruel joke. A doctor came to his room at the hospital later that evening and asked “How are you feeling Bing?” His eyes boiled in rage as he gripped the Doctors throat in both hands shouting “You cruel bastard! I’ll kill you!” As the Orderlies wrestled him off the Doctor he was again given a shot of tranquilizers to put him to sleep. He was placed in restraints and given electro-shock therapy for the next 2 months. Eventually things would get better for “Bing!” as he grew to accept his fate. But if you watch some of the old Christmas shows with Frank and Dean when they would affectionately call him “der Bingle” he would shoot a side-eyed glance and wince a little never having fully recovered from his nightmares.
He didn’t want his kids to feel entitled, however rumor about him, he felt entitled with whoever he worked with or how he was treated in Hollywood.
Yes, It's true that it's a very good follow-up on Bing Crosby's life,ups,downs,and even hardships like when he couldn't be in 2 places at once but that's the way that these things are in life.
In Germany we have a saying: "Wo viel Licht ist, ist auch viel Schatten" Translation: Where is much light, there is also much darkness.... it's the case here!
Easy to talk shit about someone that can't defend themselves
EVIL ? no......flawed yes, as most people are
i AM always baffled by women like Kathrryn Grant who would marry men like this....and worse pop out 3 more kids! to leave a legacy of disturbed children indicates a low or bad character in the parent! Our one job in life is to protect, love and raise our children to be healthy adults. Everything else is fluff.
Bing Cosby was a wonderful person
So there was a lot of tragedy in Bing's life. "Evil?" Come on.
Obviously, a textbook Narcissist. I dislike that Crosby is considered a "Jazz Singer" in some circles because he reputedly had a lot of contempt for the folks (Louis Armstrong) who truly Invented Jazz singing.
I had seen on here before that Walter Brennan was "The most Evil" person in Hollywood.
Picking on the Irish sounds like to me.
I read Gary's book Going My Own Way some years ago. The reader gets the impression that Gary was and is a Hollywood brat, willing to play the blame game by dumping responsibility on his successful and widely beloved parent.
Hollywood during the Golden Era was sketchy AF behind the scenes, more so than now...wasn't a Doris Day film.
He had a screwed up, dysfunctional family life like many families. That didn't make him evil. Even his own children didn't all agree with how he supposedly treated some of them, so there's no way that we will ever know the whole truth. Evidently not a role model, but one of the most evil? This didn't convince me.
He supposedly did much better with the 2nd family and really messed up with the first.
The word "evil" is overused nowadays (must as "hate" is.) Unless the person in question grapes small children or puts people into ovens or something, the word "evil" should not be used. It is neither accurate nor appropriate. Perspective, kiddies; perspective.
The Bing isn`t hear to defend himself. Nice of you to take that advantage.
I remember when they discovered he fired the shot from the grassy knoll that killed JFK - and suspected he was probably the Zodiac killer. So he wasn't a great father....lol - "One of the most evil actors"...blah blah blah. What the hell is the deal with title of this video?
Can’t really comment on Crosby as I know nothing about him other than the “products” he produced. Not a flattering endorsement.
Blake Lively is trying to take over Bing's title, on Xmas even.
How is he most Evil ?...Compared to Fred West ??
Crosby..was just a man ' and a father..
Being, a man and a father, is not a scripted part in a play.
It's a learning curve, that takes a lifetime, full of triumphs
And tragedies, sixcesses and mistakes..
Whoever put this together, sounds like a Virginal Judgemental
Highhanded, Catholic Priest...
Also it's less the BS that they AI or photoshopped his photo to make him look eviler. These people that do this apparently with no conscience are enablers of dumbing down good folks.
One of the most publically admired and obviously very talented, but he had some family problems.
A misleading title . I wouldn't be surprised if there isn't a lawsuit heading your way ........hope you've got deep pockets .
This channel is a crock of crap
They said he hurt his back? Then kept playing golf? He could not hit high notes? Taylor swift cannot hit high notes?
Cross, gingery looking chap, he sold a lifestyle of a lovely house, baronial, big lead windows huge fireplace, hunting, shooting and fishing, pipe smoking, he was successful at that, an image of good living, church on Sunday, it sold and people liked it
I hope his family and or Estate sues the hell out of you for defamation spewing this made up toxic bullsh*t. You should be permanently removed from TH-cam
Let he among you without sin cast the first stone.
He wasn't evil. He was brought up o the harsh strict catholic discipline. He may as ma y other catholic s of that time have overdid it. But it was what they thought was right " they had to be punished for misbehavior. Still not right, but it's not like sick abuses of Toda. Bing had 4 sons, his first wife died. His boys were troubled too, a d I dont think you can fully blame Bing, if those kids lipped him off. They d really get it. I'm sure Bing brought up that way. And when boys got older, they still did NY get on all that great with Bing. Sad two of his sons committed suicide, Gary wrote a nasty book. Only one son defended his dad. As son as those boys were adults they were old enough to try to improve their use, they didn't, they stayed bitter. Bing second wife Cathy made sure he was kinder to their three kids. Though he was still strict he wasn't as harsh, as he was with his first four boy. To say he was evil is extreme. The man is dead now too. Why bring up now. Serves no purpose. Unless it's stating or advertise a current book coming out. But still he's been dead now 47 years. A great talent. Wonder singer and actor. We never ever hear the positive. I think he was a shy man inside, who cod reveal feelings. He came from a time, when a man could nit show weakness. Henry Fonda was like that too. Some people just are aloof, not deliberately cold. For some it takes awhile to get to know them, when they feel comfortable some are friendlier, some are miserable all the time. But to say he was evil. I e was a. Imperfect flawed human being in real life. On stage and screen he was perfect. Real life is much harsher. I likes the man.
Geez - stop with the bull SH**. Gary Crosby wrote his book for money. He's a celebrity and like everyone he had issues, but this guy was an entertainment legend.
Why do they always wait to put out so call ugly when they died years later?
This all crap.
The narrator sound Robot or A.I. lol
tacky and tasteless. I especially like how the thumbnail image used to advertise this video is some photoshopped job of Crosby that looks like an old sea turtle. Nowhere in the video is there footage of him looking like that. Really disrespectful.
Well, one common theme appears to run through most actors' personal life
Their pulic personality and private personality are complete opposites
His brother Bill is pretty darn evil.
White Christmas sounded like a dirge -sang through his nose
Clickbait title.
The comments say it all. What a crock!
People are tired of all the AI BS and clickbait titles !
ya man sick of this
Rest in peace Bing Crosby legends never die
Can't leave a like or dislike--you got some things right, but did not say that Bing stopped drinking and tried to be a good father with his new family--like John Lennon and a LOT of other stars--using the tern EVIL is a bit much--my dad used a belt on me and I think that was wrong but nowhere near evil, just bad discipline.
You could have taken the high road and included some of the dark events. You have some talent as a writer, but you shouldn't waste it like this.
Very sadly, two of Bing Crosby's grown children died by suicide, which hints that, however wrongly Bing Crosby parented, he inflicted serious psychological damage on them.
He was born in 1903, not 1904.
Got a problem with the grammar in the title of this video. Why should I watch a video when you cannot even use correct grammar?
Crosby had a baritone voice? Must be something wrong with my ears.
Get to the point already, your rambling on and on just made me give up on this video.
Ok, for sure, he would never make Father of the Year. But, "Most Evil..."Like the AI voice, clickbait."
Gave it a thumbs down for the click bait title.
Evil AI disingenuousness makes for a dark Xmas...
Okay. I just wondered about evil! Thought it was a bait heading.
But if you lived with you , you know better.
"Couldn't be Happy Together" new song by the Turtles.
It's lamentable, this impulse in some people to tear down anyone who has won esteem with the people. Crosby may have been overestimated by some, but there's no call for tearing him down.
He was a prick.....
M GLAD i watched this because the title most evil are strong words!! glad it was BS!!
First time I've heard this woke rubbish
That's CAULFIELD, not Coffield.
Come on, he was a jerk!
click bait crap, put on my " don't recommend channel " list
I always thought that Crosby was too sweet to be wholesome in his public image. Never liked any of his films.
Yet another click bait video...troubled yes, "most evil" ?
Not his picture on the opening
I can’t stand to watch his movies!
WHO ?????
Velvet voice is true
Click bait.
What a horrible title, you should be ashamed……..we all sin and fall short of the glory of GOD……ROMANS 3:23 ✝️
Not a nice man, but the smoothest voice in the business. I do tend to believe Gary Crosby's account of events.
Love bing ...end .of ,,,,,
Gary Crosby's brother discounts Garys opinion of his fzther and the book he wrote, the person who wrote this crap ,doesn't even edit this bs, Joan Coffied 😅😅😅😅
Casting stones again
He was an r soul.
Why spend time making this crap. Horrible
A true horror……
