Probably The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (to my knowledge, the only film she made here in her native Canada). She played the presumptuous realtor with terrific aplomb.
"The little girl who lives down the lane". Alexis Smith as Mrs. Cora hallet died dramatically and unexpectedly. Ending up dead in the cellar with a most memorable corpse stare!!
Between 1971 and 1991, I saw over 200 Broadway Shows. Follies was hands down the greatest piece of theatre I've ever seen. The score was by the legendary Stephen Sondheim.
It was so vulnerable and adorable that he could express his crush. Nice to know so many of us didn't have dates to the high school prom and turned out acceptably well.
She’s awesome, so down to earth. And I love that she doesn’t just default to bashing current movies and theater, unlike so many of her contemporaries who pretty much dined out on phony nostalgia about how much better things were “back then”. She clearly knows that Follies was something special.
have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like these.
I don't agree. It was not nice of her to hold her "old" films in such disregard. After all, if it wasn't for her film career she would not have had a chance to play in Follies on Broadway. Films is what gave her a name, films gave her career continuity. She speaks disparagingly of the old studio system, but it was the studio system that gave her career continuity for years and exposed her to the public. Her films were quite good and she had an opportunity to play many different parts. Now that she was a Broadway star she considers herself too high and mighty to watch any of her "old" films. Go figure.
Let me understand this. Now that she was a Broadway star in Follies, Miss Smith no longer wants to talk about her old films? If it wasn't for her long film career to give her continual exposure she would never have been asked to do Follies. How high and mighty of her to thumb her nose at her old films and then pretend not to remember the names of some of them. She condescendingly refers to her "old" films as mere escapist entertainment when they may have been escapist as many films were then but her films also had some good scripts and some good stories. In her films she had an opportunity to play many different kinds of roles and she was good in the ones I have seen. I do not like her attitude at all.

Montana with her and Errol Flynn.
The Young Philadelphians with Paul Newman
An absolute delight of a woman. Great talent, greatly missed.
What a delight Alexis was. I love her voice, and particularly her laugh. R.I.P.

4:43 Alexis comments on New Hollywood vs classic Hollywood. Calling herself a "fan of Pacino" in 1971, that aged well indeed.
Indeed. That was even before Pacino's major break with 'The Godfather' the following year.
Talented classy actress
Cavett had a major school boy crush on Alexis Smith. What a beautiful, classy actress.
It was so vulnerable and adorable that he could express his crush. Nice to know so many of us didn't have dates to the high school prom and turned out acceptably well.
Who wouldn't have? there was something so nice about her apart from her stunning talent.
She handled his inappropriate comment with class.
my gosh she is so beautiful and so charming.
She was great fun in “This Happy Feeling” as the perfect foil to the delightful Debbie Reynolds.
She had a great film and TV career after this, she was a guest appearance on Cheers
She was classy, unlike what's around today
She’s awesome, so down to earth. And I love that she doesn’t just default to bashing current movies and theater, unlike so many of her contemporaries who pretty much dined out on phony nostalgia about how much better things were “back then”. She clearly knows that Follies was something special.
Alexis Smith was in a few of the early episodes of the television series "Dallas".
BRILLIANT!!!
Just saw her in The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane.
I'm watching now..I watch this movie literally every night😁
she's really good in that.
Please post Louise lasser interviews
i love her laugh!
Is this channel ever going to show Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason and/or Art Carney? I don’t have the Decades channel.
Please post the final Bobby Fischer interview
With Alexis's great height it might have been difficult to find actors tall enough to play opposite her.
have nothing against the other celebs that were on this show but is this channel ever going to show the Dick Cavett shows where he interviews Jackie Gleason or Art Carney? How about any Honeymooners actors that were part of the main cast? These are rarities much like these.
Wow, she was nice.

Pass judgement elsewhere
clASS
Truly wondrous!!!
Fogey woman.
How odd that must seem when you are looking at an old fashioned interview, from the 70s… 🤦🏻♂️
