Old school. Intelligent, insightful, willing to be giving and generous of praise to others in the business. A talented man and class act. Where are these qualities today in young actors?
He was the very first actor that was awarded the Tony and an Oscar for performing the same role. The first Hispanic to have won the Oscar also. Great talent!!!
I heard that José was considered for the role of Don Birnam in The Lost Weekend. That's a "what could have been" that drives me crazy. Ray Milland did a terrific job but there's no question that José would have killed it.
@@izregistered I just was stating that he was the first Latin to have won an Oscar but also the very first ever to win a Tony and Oscar for the same role. As you well pointed out he was a great actor. No offense intended
If you believe Rosemary Clooney, and I do, when she confronted him about his endless cheating on her during their marriage, his reply to her was that she knew what she signed up for.
@@akrenwinkle Ok then i might have to add that he was also an A-hole. thanks for the info. i really didn't know. Just shows you how good an actor he really was...
You mean like, he didn't all talk like, you know, some idiot actor from this new crop of 'stars?' He be like, smart and stuff? If I hear or read one more public speaker using "Like" and "all" and "be like" as modifiers, place holders and improper verb forms I'll scream. Even some independent news outlets have hipsters who speak some of the poorest grammar imaginable.
Heavens to Murgatroid ! Very entertaining & informative interview ! Thank you so much for sharing ! Kudos to both Ms Prose and the late great Mr Ferrer ! :-)
How clasay. Didn't like what Steve Martin did with one of Mr. Ferrer's character...but gave Martin all the credit and kudos in the world. A lot of modern artists could stand to take note.
One movie directed by and starring Jose Ferrer that is definitely one to see is "The Great Man". He also co-authored the screen play. It is an iconic description of the corruption of the media and the myths it perpetuates- certainly representative of what we have been living with today. Marvelous writing and marvelous acting.
@@moncorp1 Totally disagree MacMurray was great as were Bogart and Ferrer. Van Johnson was great as well, surprisingly. MacMurray had always played nice guys until "Double Indemnity" and that opened the door for "Pushover", "The Caine Mutiny" and "The Apartment". Then went back to nice guy roles. Underrated actor.
Mr Ferrer was excellent in “Nine Hours To Rama,” in which he played the Chief Inspector of the Delhi police, trying in vain to prevent the murder of Mahatma Gandhi. Very underrated film! I had the chance to meet him in New York City, and tell him how much I enjoyed the film. He was most gracious, even as he was off to catch a train!
Caine Mutiny- Ens Keith; Robert Charles Francis was an American actor. He appeared in only four Hollywood films, all with military themes, before his career and life were cut short at the age of 25 in the crash of a small airplane he was piloting. Born: February 26, 1930, Glendale, CA Died: July 31, 1955, Burbank, CA
Brilliant Actor whose legacy speaks for itself ... and none of the current crop couldn't tie his laces nevermind achieve what he has done . nor even have the ability to actually act ..
@@cindypattana6071 the only thing he may have proven is that he was an adulterer, And yet, your comment only follows the purpose of trying to minimize all that he was and reducing it into just that, which is absolutely hypocritical and ridiculous. Him cheating is a personal thing between him and his wife. That in no way changes all that he was. Perhaps your mind is tainted because of your own bad experiences, but that is something you should, instead, try to deal with in therapy .
I would prefer he describe himself as an American. We divide ourselves into tribes much too often theses days. I have hispanic ancestors but I still consider myself as an American.
I agree. I was born in the United States and I consider myself an American. I resent these hyphenated labels such as African American and Panamanian American.
peace2014 certainly youre not from USA and never had to fill an application, in USA ethniciy is a thing. And in the particular case of Joe Ferrer he was born in Puerto Rico, his parents were Puerto Ricans, his grand father was a supporter of Puerto Rican pro independence movement and his aunt Monsita Ferrer was a very well known pianist and "Danza Puertorriquena" composer, his background is very root in another culture. So i make this point because there is a great debate if Puerto Ricans are actually americans, specially in conservatives circles, in the most liberal snow flakes because would be imperialist they to be considered americans and the most conservatives because we have to get rid of every latino to make america great again. So even Jose Ferrer with all the idiosincratic style and beatiful enunciation and articulation of the english language would not qualify to be a real american. So far we have to describe ourselves as hispanic americans. Its not our fault, it is just been honest about how this things work and are understood in America.
"A real American". Yeah, right. The Indians who who were born here wee the original ones. Danes, Germans, Russians, French, Hungarian, Puerto Rican, e al. As American as the guy next door
daniel stanwyck I meant he was talking about from the perspective of a specific culture and America nowdays is like that, I hope this evolve someday. But an american citizen is not just enough to be called just an american in America, identitary ideologies are institutionalized and you have to consider yourself something else like White, Latino, Native, Asian etc "what's your ethnic background?" It's the favorite question in America.
@Daniel Natal Puerto Ricans are natural born Americans citizen, you don't listen people saying Puerto Rican-american as they say Mexican-americans for example. He was profoundly american as many Puerto Ricans that take this in great regard. But Americans in the mainland doesn't consider Puerto Ricans Americans, in fact many of them want to get rid of Puerto Rico, they don't like latino culture or people of a latino culture that maybe us what you mean with cultural Marxism and Jose Ferrer fights this. When Jose Ferrer donates his Oscar to the University of Puerto Rico he said, "They don't want me to say I'm Puerto Rican, they want me to say I have a European background" and this was very usual for Hispanics in the yesteryear Hollywood era when they even invented fake biographies to white out the ethnic background of their stars. Not just Hispanics but African Americans like the model and actress Aquanetta. I have listened to Jose Ferrer speaking in spanish, and he spoke Spanish with the same articulation and urbane manner he spoke english for I can say he was the product of two cultures, this shouldn't be a controversy now and it was not a controversy back in those years when Jose Ferrer embraced it. In fact this idea is very american, people with this point of view use to be Americans, in other countries they think about ethnic background differently.
As a kid, I hated this person for his role in "Lawrence of Arabia". He played a Turkish officer, a pervert homosexual that hurts the star the British officer Peter O'toole.
OK to hate the character but the actor (in this case, Jose Ferrer) was only playing a role. Offscreen he was known to be a kind, gentle, intelligent & articulate fellow.

Definitely a class act all the way. I know of no one in show business these days that even comes close.

My favorite actor of all time. Great, great man.
He has always been one of my favorite actors in large part, to his suave, refined eloquence and debonair.
Very intelligent, kind hearted man. Nice things to say about marriage and even his ex wives. We need to see more of this level headedness these days.
Jose Ferrer 🌟 was Great in his Small role as Turkish 🇹🇷 Bey in the Epic Film Laurence of Arabia With Peter 'O Toole 🌟
Indeed he was!
Generous man, giving praise to McMurray when, in fact, Ferrer stole The Caine Mutiny in the final act.
How very true ! He was an incredibly intelligent individual and generous of heart & spirit ! He will be sorely missed !
If you want to do anything about it I’ll be outside. I’m a lot drunker than you are, so it’ll be a fair fight.
Fred McMurray was a great dad, with his my 3 sons
@@brinsonharris9816 Yeah, you just knew Barney Greenwald would have cleaned Tom Keefer's clock if Keefer had the guts to go outside.
MacMurray always played great bad guys.
a great interview.
Yes yes
Yes, McMurray was brilliant in the film but everyone, including the more minor roles were superb. Eg. Lee Marvin jumps off the screen as Meatball.
E.G. Marshall was also spot on as the prosecutor.
Holy C&@p, I saw it decades ago, I wasn't even aware Lee Marvin was in it. Maybe I should see it again...
This is a really great interview.

i watching your movie, you sr are master actor,
I recently watched “The Caine Mutiny” again and have to respectfully disagree with him. Next to Bogart he was the best actor in that movie.
Who else could have gotten Bogie to crack on the stand and then undress Fred MacMurray as a fraud in consecutive scenes?
@GFrank2 I couldn't agree more!
Bogart and Ferrer made that movie. Anyone could have played the MacMurray role.
@@moncorp1 I disagree. MacMurray pulled it off with a certain finesse necessary for Keefer to slowly get exposed as the true villain of the piece.
