She is a survivor. She overcame her early troubles, had a relatively long career with critical acclaim for her acting, if not always for her films, a long life, and she hung onto her money. I think she’s smarter than most actresses.
And an African- American who pulled the wool over old time racist Hollywood's eyes. Sadly, like the much more famous and just as beautiful and talented Sandra Dee she was also an alcoholic.
Wow this is great. I used to watch Dick Cavett all the time. Looking now he seems so awkward throughout the whole show but maybe that's a part of his appeal. Carson was too slick sometimes, Cavett held conversations, on a higher level, Looking at the commercials and the promos for ABC was like going back in a time machine.
i flew first class on Western Airlines with Tuesday had a great time during the flt. We flew from SLC toNYC. She read my palm rt hand and i helped her carry her tape recorder she used while filming a Woman Scorned a t.v. movie for CBS the yr was 1983. She was really very down to earth for those out there who are fans of hers!
Can you remember anything at all that might be anecdotal ... anything she said or did ... it would be so interesting if you could tell us something more
Cool to know. Love Tuesday and I'm a huge fan. Beautiful and talented, she didn't seem to dig the whole 'star trip'. It doesn't surprise me, that she's down to earth.
Agree. I'm a huge fan of both actresses, but I also think that Tuesday would've been a better fit, as Bonnie. She definitely had the acting chops, on par with Faye. She also is closer, physically to Bonnie Parker. But, it's water under the bridge. Tuesday never appeared to fully embrace the whole 'star trip'. I I once read that she passed on the part, anticipating it would be a major hit, and didn't want all the notoriety, that would go with it. She gravitated towards smaller, independent type films like Play it as it Lays, Pretty Poison, Serial... Her films were interesting and worthwhile and she always turned in a first rate performance. I thought she was brilliant in Looking for Mr. Goodbar, playing a supporting role, as Diane Keaton's (equally awesome) younger sister.
@@waynej2608 In retrospect, I think Faye Dunaway looked at a little too glamorous for Bonnie and Clyde--wasn't Tuesday Warren Beatty's first choice? I think she was also the first choice for Rosemarys Baby, and although Mia Farrow was great, Tuesday would have also been great in that, and she had already worked with Ruth Gordon in Lord Love a Duck. It's funny, I noticed later that Tuesday sometimes speaks a little like Ruth Gordon. And of course, she was also the first, or one of the first, choices for Lolita, as was Hayley Mills. Tuesday was have been perfect for Lolita, maybe too perfect[--when asked why she turned down the role, she said, "I don't have to play it, I am Lolita."
@chumdog90 - I vaguely remember the bright and cheerful sponsor's song, "Drive your Chevrolet across the USA, America's the greatest land of all!" She sang it with such gust and sincerity. But I had not realized until just this very minute that her talk-show charm lay in the natural, unforced manner of her conversation. Dinah was not "on." She was not "performing" the role of being a talk show guest. She was just herself and that was no naturally lovely!
Tuesday Weld...sun glasses, long blonde hair, pretty dress...epic beauty. She is still alive as of March; 2021. Even at 77, I bet she is still gorgeous.
Back then to even get an agent you had to be able to sing, dance and play a instrument of some sort. If you couldn’t do all three it was very difficult unless you were just so beautiful. Then they didn’t have to even be very talented.
I love how the starlet's of the '50's looked in the late '60's-early '70's. They fit beautifully into the modern styles and were still in their prime. Wow, I was 4 at this time, but have distinct memories. The '70's was a great time to be a kid.
I don’t think “bimbo” is the right term for her early characters, which are usually described as “sex kitten.” She was sexy, but always had good dialogue in her roles. These roles served her well until she grew into more serious characters. I was impressed with her work in the televised play “The Rainmaker,” which is completely against type. She had a fairly long career because of her acting ability.
I think the biggest tragedy is her dysfunctional home life. She was really just pushed into Hollywood at a very young age and drank a lot to cope with it. She sorted of retired from acting relatively early and I hope she’s found her peace
Tuesday Weld is one of my favourite actressess, brilliant along with Anthony Perkins In Pretty Poison. For some reason, I'm reminded of another great actress from a later period, Jenifer Jason Leigh. Thank's for reminding me of Tuesday.
@@debbiewhitehead9890 She let him continue. Not enough people know about *Pretty Poison* . That, *Lord Love a Duck* , and *I Walk the Line* are my favorites of her films.
One-of-a-kind actress. Tuesday Weld. I admire her free spirited independence. She is a great actress. So cool and a natural beauty. Lord Love a Duck is a favorite of mine. Also, loved her as Thalia Menninger in The Dobie Gillis Show. I must also add that A Safe Place is actually a fascinating movie. It's very artsy and bizarre so kind of got dismissed by the mainstream critics. But, the visuals and camera shots of Tuesday Weld are breathtaking in this movie and she is terrific in it as is the rest of the cast. You have to sort of watch A Safe Place a few times and allow yourself to interpret the movie the way you want. Anyway, a must for Tuesday Weld fans. I remember the whole family taking a two week vacation in the family Duster from Pittsburgh to Florida back in the summer of 1971. Those were the days lol
Only cable access shows of the '90's stayed this loose and freeform. Watching this now seems so improvisational compared to today's tightly scripted stuff.
@@GH-oi2jf times of early 70's were of the natuarl look and the EARTH STYLE of makeup and dress, hemlines will plunge to below knee and the ANNIE HALL look is about 3 yrs hence, still a stunner even to this day
@@Heartbreakin funny , I remember that now also and I was in grade school back then . I don't think that commercial was around for long though to be honest with you
She's a stunning, beautiful woman; even today at 77, I'm sure she's still lovely. Come out of retirement Ms. Weld; you're terrific at your craft and missed by many, including myself.
It would definitely be a time that Tuesday could finally become a major star, since her Mother revealed she is African-American in her autobio If It's Tuesday, I Must Be Dead. One of her grandfathers was African-Ameriacn and in our society that makes her fully A-A. This is definitely a plus for a celebrity to be this today. Carol Channing & Chita Rivera revealed they were African-Americans at the end of their lives. Tuesday should too! Especially since she convinced the world (as far as a starlet lost in the shadow like so many of Sandra Dee back in the day) she was the white All-American girl. xox
"Thief" is my favorite crime movie of the entire '80s decade. Every actor in it gave an Oscar-worthy performance, including singer Willie Nelson. Everything that would be hailed as groundbreaking 3 years later on TV's "Miami Vice" (also created by Michael Mann) was already front and center in his 1981 breakthrough film.
When he was asked, James Caan stated that "Frank" -- the main character in the film "Thief" -- was the best character he ever played. From top to bottom, this film was first rate...Hell, even the music was ground breaking. Michael Mann is one of the most intelligent directors of all time. He's right up there with Kubrick and Pollack.
Dinah Shore was a magnificent singer from the time she was still a teenager. A lot of older people tend to be dismissive simply because her TV show in the 50s was connected with Chevrolet. In fact she was one of the first women to break away from the big band tradition and have a solo career which very closely parallels that of Frank Sinatra.
The clip from A SAFE PLACE appears to be an "in-progress" work print. Powers that be wouldn't run anything this raw on these kinds of shows now. Everything has to be slick as it gets. Sometimes I miss that unabashed rawness. Thanks for posting.
I wonder if OB/GYN's educated women on the dangers of FAS back in 1971. It still amazes me that women smoked during pregnancy, but back then, everyone did.
Funny!!! people say "she had so much potential" and how she (Tuesday) could have and should have.To me, this makes no sense, she did what her 'potential' permitted her to do, and that seems a lot more than many other beautiful young women that stumbled into 'fame traps' where dreams turned into nightmares .The impression I have of her in this interview is that her hippie influences and free spirit was much stronger than the glittering Hollywood lifestyle. Beauty can take a wrong turn up in them there hills.......gotta love those 70's commercials and promos.
I like the Bayer commercial when that wise guy in the class room asks why Bayer doesn't buffer its aspirin. and why is there a whole class with people learning about Bayer aspirin? These people have nothing better to do on a Saturday afternoon then take a class on Aspirin?
Tuesday Weld is gorgeous and such a superb actress. She gave Oscar-worthy performances in "Pretty Poison" (68), "Play It As It Lays" (72) and "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" (77).
Don't forget her Oscar worthy scene trying on different colored sweaters for her father at the department store in Lord Love A Duck. Seriously, she also gave a great performance in I Walk the Line with Gregory Peck, and looked beautiful in that.
You can see her in a "Bonnie"-like role, with Rip Torn, on a "Naked City" episode from 1962. `When newlyweds honeymoon in New York City, their happy time is interrupted by the husband's continual penchant for murder and robbery.´ m.th-cam.com/video/375rETymbqw/w-d-xo.html
Love Cavett's quick wit, Dinah's sense of humor and Tuesday's frank and extremely intelligent points of view. Great when Tuesday engaged Milton in a revealing moment.
I was just watching the DVD of the movie Tuesday is promoting here on the Dick Cavett show; A Safe Place. In the commentary section, director Henry Jaglom says Tuesday Weld was one of the greatest actresses Hollywood ever created. He also said Tuesday Weld, in his opinion, was the most talented actress of her generation! Only her unwillingness to follow the guidelines within the Hollywood system prevented Tuesday Weld from being a superstar actress as she turned down many huge roles that would become huge movies such as Lolita, Bonnie and Clyde, Cactus Flower, Rosemary's Baby, True Grit, and Bob, Carol, Ted, and Alice.
37:43 Tuesday is wearing no makeup. No lipstick, nothing on her face, and yet she still looks as fresh as Thalia Menniger, the teen character she played on the Dobie Gillis TV show !
Weld is in a vanguard all her own here, confidently and without shame revealing her emergence from dysfunction and alcohol dependency in a confessional style that (five years before Betty Ford's honesty made dependency confession palatable) most celebrities would take another fifteen years to master on the talk show-book promo circuit; the difference is that here she has nothing to gain other than her own honesty - she's not working for career capital, only finding a gentle wholistic voice for talking about how screwed up fame can be (and, again, way ahead of her time, turning down a major role because she needed time with her kid) - amazing.
She also said about that and another, that she turned down Bonnie and Clyde because she was nursing, but also because it reeked of success--and did they think she really wanted that? Same with Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice. She also turned down Lolita (saying "I didn't need to play it, I am a Lolita), and Rosemarys Baby.
Wish there were more unabridged, complete shows of Dick Cavett. Including commericals, promos and the musical bumper transitions and slate. This is the only one I've seen, that is complete. Most of the other clips seen here are short clips of interviews with the people of the day.
Tuesday Weld was extraordinarily beautiful, like Sylvie Vartan, France Gall, Cheryl Ladd, and so many others. There was an unauthorized bio book on her called Pretty Poison by Floyd Conner from '95, so they didn't mention it since the interview was in '71. She was also a good singer as well as a great actress.
Tuesday is my favorite, but she was not a good singer. her voice was done by Connie Francis in Rock Rock Rock, and the one single she did release is just okay. When I think of other blondes from that era I think of Yvette Mimieux and Jean Seberg also.
33:25. Tuesday Weld 46:22 The film she just made and loved she's talking about is The Safe Place with Orson Welles. 47:33 This has gotta be the worst film clip ever. I'm sure it was adlibbed. And she likes this better than Pretty Poison? 1:21:00 Continue with TW, 1:25:40 Life in the year 2000.
@@unfortunatebeam Ethereal and unattainable equals surreal. It's interesting when she talks about older actors not being happy, well she should no, she dated a lot of them. In 1961 while making Bachelor Flat at 18, she was dating Harry Dean Stanton who was twice her age, and they were constantly fighting. Costar Terry Thomas said Tuesday's behavior was the the most frightening thing he had ever seen in his life.
If you have not seen Lord Love a Duck, best example of her persona as a young actress and then watch Pretty Poison. Her best performance and one of Anthony Perkins best acting job. An absolute must for movie fans.
you're right, they do look alike. I always felt that Jessica Lange looked like her, had the same personality, may have the same method in acting. maybe that's too obvious, not sure
John Brinkman No wonder Sam Shepard thinks Tuesday Weld was the greatest, natural, and Marlon Brando of women actors.....Sam also had his love for Jessica Lange all these years, leaving wife for her...
Well hello and happened back then myself being in N.Y. watching these shows trapped on tv and those programs from Cavett with Lennon and the likes ; I have to tell you I not in N.Y. now and well I m born in Austria border with italy 1949 but I am Italian citizen , those times we were in america dreaming as ourself musicians working in europe with recording singer s , but the Dream of being in america fascinated us and of course tv shows , and getting to see great artists performing and the likes. Well now the point is that after so many years I found real silly all the thing s they were talking Cavett and weld speaking things so wordly and superficial like being actors or anything else so important or the competing entertainment buss , and of course Ignoring things like the unuverse spirituality and whats humans are all about , really dumb times and Naive s those years , guess Lennon had other things in his head 😂 ; Plus I did nt realize back then Cavett wearing a wig 😂
DICK CAVETT DIDN'T BROUGHT UP TUESDAY WELD'S CHARISMA AND BEAUTY IN THE DOBIE GILLIS SHOW. I THINK HE WAS A BAD INTERVIEWER ESPECIALLY WHEN HE AGREED NOT TO ASK HER PERSONAL QUESTIONS BUT DID ANYWAY.
Yoy got it wrong. She wanted him to ask personal questions. He didn’t want to talk about her role on Dobie Gillis because everybody talks about that. He mentioned Pretty Poison, which nobody talks about, and got an interesting response from her.

Only her unwillingness to follow the guidelines within the Hollywood system prevented Tuesday Weld from being a superstar actress as she turned down many huge roles that would become huge movies such as Lolita, Bonnie and Clyde, Cactus Flower, Rosemary's Baby, True Grit, and Bob, Carol, Ted, and Alice.
wasn't she in an Elvis Presley movie as well?
37:43 Tuesday is wearing no makeup. No lipstick, nothing on her face, and yet she still looks as fresh as Thalia Menniger, the teen character she played on the Dobie Gillis TV show !
Weld is in a vanguard all her own here, confidently and without shame revealing her emergence from dysfunction and alcohol dependency in a confessional style that (five years before Betty Ford's honesty made dependency confession palatable) most celebrities would take another fifteen years to master on the talk show-book promo circuit; the difference is that here she has nothing to gain other than her own honesty - she's not working for career capital, only finding a gentle wholistic voice for talking about how screwed up fame can be (and, again, way ahead of her time, turning down a major role because she needed time with her kid) - amazing.
She also said about that and another, that she turned down Bonnie and Clyde because she was nursing, but also because it reeked of success--and did they think she really wanted that? Same with Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice. She also turned down Lolita (saying "I didn't need to play it, I am a Lolita), and Rosemarys Baby.
49,727 views as I made the lucifer comment. That was the 111th comment. Reminded me she will be 72 on August 27th this year.
Wish there were more unabridged, complete shows of Dick Cavett. Including commericals, promos and the musical bumper transitions and slate. This is the only one I've seen, that is complete. Most of the other clips seen here are short clips of interviews with the people of the day.
Tuesday Weld... Wednesday Tap & Die... Thursday Buff... Friday Paint...
Monday pop rivet
Tuesday Weld was extraordinarily beautiful, like Sylvie Vartan, France Gall, Cheryl Ladd, and so many others. There was an unauthorized bio book on her called Pretty Poison by Floyd Conner from '95, so they didn't mention it since the interview was in '71. She was also a good singer as well as a great actress.
Tuesday is my favorite, but she was not a good singer. her voice was done by Connie Francis in Rock Rock Rock, and the one single she did release is just okay. When I think of other blondes from that era I think of Yvette Mimieux and Jean Seberg also.
It's August, 27th. Happy Birthday, Tuesday Weld!
33:25. Tuesday Weld 46:22 The film she just made and loved she's talking about is The Safe Place with Orson Welles. 47:33 This has gotta be the worst film clip ever. I'm sure it was adlibbed. And she likes this better than Pretty Poison? 1:21:00 Continue with TW, 1:25:40 Life in the year 2000.
*A* Safe Place
How did Tuesday Weld not do more than I know of,,,she was so beautiful
Love Tuesday Weld but that was a god awful movie.
Tuesday is a weird strange person. not all there.
She would have been perfect as Bonnie in Bonnie and Clyde
Trivia- Faye Dunaway almost always passed out while filming. The Director had her drastically loose weight right before production & throughout.
Tuesday is so honest just pure truthful no b.s. like they spew today
HI
Tuesday Weld and Troy Donahue in ' A Summer Place' WHAT a film ! And the Musical Score! JUST Beautiful! Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua.
Watching Tuesday Weld is quite a surreal experience.
why?
@@unfortunatebeam Ethereal and unattainable equals surreal. It's interesting when she talks about older actors not being happy, well she should no, she dated a lot of them. In 1961 while making Bachelor Flat at 18, she was dating Harry Dean Stanton who was twice her age, and they were constantly fighting. Costar Terry Thomas said Tuesday's behavior was the the most frightening thing he had ever seen in his life.
I've never seen this show before and this is a real treat. Before my time.
WABC BASED in NYC the Intellectual JOHHNY CARSON show alternative tv.avclub.com/10-dick-cavett-show-episodes-that-prove-good-conversati-1798266442
The boom operator is my favorite part of this show....
boy this show holds up better than the commercials
You know,I'm getting sick of you young punks knocking our generation!
Wow, she answered every question honestly and intelligently. Nothing held back, no artifice.
I could totally see her doing the Bonnie Parker role
She was beautiful!
If you have not seen Lord Love a Duck, best example of her persona as a young actress and then watch Pretty Poison. Her best performance and one of Anthony Perkins best acting job. An absolute must for movie fans.
She seems a little unhinged but maybe it's just nerves, she doesn't seem very comfortable.
I clicked on this because I wanted to see T.W. But as it turned out, Milton Berle stole the show....Awesome interview with M.B.
every time I ever watched berle it was me me me im the greatest and I guess he thought so???
I hadn't seen him as honest as he was here. Good. (Berle)
@@HEAD3455 Well, he made fun of his failed attempts at come back shows.
Always enjoy DC, a natural relaxed charming interviewer...
Dinah Shore doing a Yvonne Ellman song from Jesus Christ Superstar. A quite amazing version.
At the beginning Cavett keeps interrupting Dina. Kind of annoying.
I never thought I'd see that Captain Cleanup spot whole and intact again.
When she was a regular on the Doby Gillis show in the 1960's, I had a super crush on her.
Dinah put me in a coma---------------------------------------------------
Gotta get me some of that Domino Sugar.
This woman is stunning, even without makeup!
Ok,,, I'll never say I miss the 70's again!!!!
Tuesday Weld looks a little like Susan Dey from the Partridge Family here.
+MrGreycharles Tuesday is more beautiful any Dey of the week.
+MrGreycharles we have her to thank for the Daphne Blake character on Scooby Doo. Her Dobie Gillis character was the direct inspiration for Daphne.
Sorry, I don't see it. And it would be rude of me to say one is more beautiful than the other. They just don't look the same to me.
I think that this actress, Tuesday Weld looks so much like Diane Lane, the actress in Under the Tuscan Sun.
I have thought of the same comparison before.
you're right, they do look alike. I always felt that Jessica Lange looked like her, had the same personality, may have the same method in acting. maybe that's too obvious, not sure
John Brinkman I can see some Jessica Lange in Tuesday Weld, also.
John Brinkman No wonder Sam Shepard thinks Tuesday Weld was the greatest, natural, and Marlon Brando of women actors.....Sam also had his love for Jessica Lange all these years, leaving wife for her...
i mix her up with sandy dennis
she's honest and gorgeous and beautiful
agreed!
Tuesday Weld was no slouch either!
Well hello and happened back then myself being in N.Y. watching these shows trapped on tv and those programs from Cavett with Lennon and the likes ; I have to tell you I not in N.Y. now and well I m born in Austria border with italy 1949 but I am Italian citizen , those times we were in america dreaming as ourself musicians working in europe with recording singer s , but
the Dream of being in america fascinated us and of course tv shows , and getting to see great artists performing and the likes.
Well now the point is that after so many years I found real silly all the thing s they were talking Cavett and weld speaking things so wordly and superficial like being actors or anything else so important or the competing entertainment buss , and of course
Ignoring things like the unuverse spirituality and whats humans are all about , really dumb times and
Naive s those years , guess Lennon had other things in his head 😂 ;
Plus I did nt realize back then
Cavett wearing a wig 😂
wonder what ever happened to Bar-Tenders pre mixed cocktails?
Tuesday has her whole hippie thing going on ha ha 71 was a great yr Tuesday was pretty crazy gal
Incredible natural beauty just gorgeous......loved her as Thalia Menninger on Dobie Gillis.
What nerve of Dick Cavett to tell Tuesday Weld she has been in a lot of bad movies!
Not reall. That was general knowledge and she didn’t seem fazed by it.
I've never been sure how to take Milton Berle.
Don't.
Her name is so unusual . Tuesday weld .
Actual name is Susan
DICK CAVETT DIDN'T BROUGHT UP TUESDAY WELD'S CHARISMA AND BEAUTY IN THE DOBIE GILLIS SHOW. I THINK HE WAS A BAD INTERVIEWER ESPECIALLY WHEN HE AGREED NOT TO ASK HER PERSONAL QUESTIONS BUT DID ANYWAY.
Yoy got it wrong. She wanted him to ask personal questions. He didn’t want to talk about her role on Dobie Gillis because everybody talks about that. He mentioned Pretty Poison, which nobody talks about, and got an interesting response from her.
