I loved him in "Wings". He was perfect for the part of Jack. His face really captured the pain Jack was feeling. That movie touches my heart. He's a tremendous actor.
Just seen a bio about him last week, he was a nice man is what they said, even tempered, always a smile, no wonder Mary Pickford fell for him! He still had a small town country charm n manners👍
I saw Buddy Rogers when I stayed at the Hollywood Roosevelt in the '80s. Not that it would have been appropriate, but I WISH I had taken the opportunity to shake his hand and say hello to HOLLYWOOD HISTORY.
It’s mind blowing when you convert the dollar amount from that time period, into today’s value, you’re like holy smokes! What they were paid for 1 movie, took some people the whole year to earn.
He was off, alright. Pickford was his "beard," as was wife #2. His main squeeze was actor Matty Kemp, who died the same year as Rogers. Along the way, Rogers also had a tryst with Jeanette MacDonald's husband, Gene Raymond.
I love how he says “honey” throughout like it’s punctuation!

This is a positive, cheering, kind man. I'll bet he really brought a great deal of happiness to Mary Pickford.
This right here is why I'm a TCM fan !
This man is fascinating.
I love how he uses the Endearment "Honey" . He is such a sweet old man. Amazing.
what a charming man!
His hometown of Olathe, Kansas is quite proud of him. There is a small theater named for him near downtown that is quite popular.

He’s lovely, I wanted to hear more about Clara Bow, she was outrageous!
Fascinating.
Thank you so much for posting.
He truly loved Mary Pickford and they were married many years. She was the greatest of the GREAT and
Always will be !
Hollywood really was Hollywood back then! Talented and decent people! Fantasy was real! Ugliness wasn't promoted as entertainment as now!
Thank you! You are right!!! ❤️🙌⭐️
His last statement is so wonderful.
Wow! Great interview.

So handsome no wonder Mary Pickford fell.for him
He sure is frisky and alert! A pleasure to see him and hear his anecdotes.
Rogers was born in August 1904. He has to be 90 or 91 here. He sure doesn't look or act it.
Wow - no he doesn't.
I thought the same thing! By the way, did you know that his adopted son was also
named Ronald, as you & I are?
@@rongendron8705 you guys should should meet up with him and call yourself the Ronald triplets
Honey lol Love it!!
Lol. Yes, he was from a generation where it was common for a father to call his children (girl or boy) honey. It was a term of endearment.
@@tbec3011 Honey, I'm from the south. I know a term of endearment when I hear one lol jk, but I am from the south 😉
2020 TCM Backlot membership was approved and granted to me ( Laventure Alix) in a letter ✉️💌. Great video 👍📸.
What an interesting & fun interview!
He was 90 when this filmed $75.00 a week in 1927 was $1,259.90 today great money for a first film!
True, that was big bucks then. My mom got an autographed picture from him in the 30's.

Saving this for Xmas - a real treat!
I saw WINGS and the movie he did with his wife, My Best Girl.
He speaks like a Midwestern farm boy. Charming.
I love Buddy Rogers.
wow this a real trat thank you
I met him in the early 80s. He seemed like a very nice guy. Tiny guy.
Interesting that Mary Pickford, "America's Sweetheart," was born in Canada!
He was drop dead 😍 gorgeous when he was a young man.
Wish he would have said more about Betty Grable. I know they did a couple movies together. She was my favorite musical blond.
Very good!. Not an autobiography....Just a bunch of good tidbits.
5 girlfriends!!! Buddy was a busy boy in college!
A great all around guy, It sounds like he might have had an affair with Miss Bow!!
Something seems off about this guy - he needed a real single nevermarried woman. At least, he finally found love with Beverly Ricondo, his final wife.
He was off, alright. Pickford was his "beard," as was wife #2. His main squeeze was actor Matty Kemp, who died the same year as Rogers. Along the way, Rogers also had a tryst with Jeanette MacDonald's husband, Gene Raymond.
