A treasure! These stars made the History of motion picture! So relaxing and sweet to look at all of them. And thanks for this jewel video❤️❤️❤️. To be kept and watched over and over. THANKS!
The 1974 event was for the premiere of the movie That's Entertainment, and was held on May 17, 1974. Agnes was still alive but in poor health. She died a month later on April 30.
The control the studio system has over actors and actresses was amazing. The actors and actresses were probably working on movie sets that day but were pulled into this event.
Hmmm, Bette Davis said he wasn't much good and he didn't care to much about it. He liked being a star. This was from her 1987 interview in England, while promoting his book. I just watched it 2 weeks ago.
Thanks for posting. As of Sept. 2017 the only living movie stars from the 1949 anniversary are Claude Jarman Jr. (he turns 83 later this month) and Angela Lansbury (she will be 92 next month).
@@OldHollywood ikr I wish I was born when these stars were at their prime, however there would be problems cuz I'm a poc and people were racist, so yh I want to live then but at the same time no
TCM did do a month long tribute to MGM either May or June of 2024.

It's sad. No acknowledgement, and no mention on the Academy Award presentations, either. Maybe next years Academy presentation will do some kind of a tribute.
11/9/24. I sat here on my bed, all choked up watching this. I was there but not as an MGM movie star. I was there pouring water into their empty or half empty glasses. Oh yes. I had my autograph book tucked inside my pants. YES! I got so many autographs and a lot of advice about 'staying out of pictures,' especially from Eva Gardner. It was a night I'll never forget. I agree with a lot of you when you say there will never be a movie star to take their place. Hooray for Hollywood! ❤🎉😢
Strange that Vera Ellen is nowhere to be seen. She was a big MGM star at this time having just completed "On the Town" with Gene Kelly and about to do "Three Little Words" with Fred Astaire. Was she not invited?
@jackjules7552 She withdrew from the public eye in the late 1960s and 1970s+. No one really knows why. Yes, she lost a baby to SIDS and that is traumatic enough, but she still attended dance classes. Anyway, Frank Sinatra isn't there either. Nor was Leslie Caron or Lena Horne or Lana Turner, Van Johnson, Mickey Rooney, Ann Miller, Jane Powell, Lucille Ball, and Katharine Hepburn, in the 1974 reunion.
You sound like a jealous hater. Too bad you can't enjoy them and all the entertainment they've given us. If it upsets you so......don't watch. Your negativity would never survive in this business ! GO away and read your Bible!
@@HattieMcDanielonaMoon Not really when they were //old//, per se (Garbo was 36 when she retired, Norma was 40 and Joan Crawford was booted out at the grand old age of 40 as well), just when Louis B. Mayer was done with them, plus Garbo was a semirecluse.
MGM will rise again with more stars than there are in the heavens after the media giants get trust busted and the old Studio System returns taking Hollywood back to these days.
On one level, I would love to see it. On many others, the SAG-AFTRA union will make darn sure it never happens again because actors want to keep their independence. They felt/feel that the studio system was entertainment's version of baseball's infamous "reserve clause".
Looking at this restored film is interesting and rather sad. Where are the talented stars nowadays? Streep, Streisand, Redford, Eastwood, Midler, Eddie Murphy Billy Dee Williams, Shirley McClain, etc. no offense, but the aforementioned stars are getting up there in years. Who do we have that are upcoming stars that currently have made an impact in movies? Times have changed, and as we see old Hollywood faces, only one black actress appeared, Ms. Leana Horne. Besides that, where are the contemporary upcoming stars the new top actors; black, white, Asian, and Indian of today? Maybe it's just me, and I am starting to sound like my parents who lived in that era? But think about it? Jack,Lemon, Tony Curtis, even talented Directors Billy Wilder, Frank Capra, etc., gone.

Where is Hollywood headed when they all pass away? Maybe what I am saying is a wake up call or maybe I am just so "square" and getting old...
They’ll never and I mean never get stars like this anymore!
They willNEVER and I mean NEvEER find actors and actresses like that any more!
Thanks! A reminder when elegance and class prevailed!
Speaking of elegance and class, Vera Ellen is nowhere to be seen here. She was one of MGM's big dancing stars at MGM at this time.
That’s what you would call entertainment. I Loved them and quilt” Always Will “. They don’t make movies like they did when we had those STARS anymore!
A treasure! These stars made the History of motion picture! So relaxing and sweet to look at all of them. And thanks for this jewel video❤️❤️❤️. To be kept and watched over and over. THANKS!
It's hard to believe that all these famous celebrities worked at the same time for the same employer. What an amazing group of people!
Same year Agnes Moorhead passed away in 1974. I saw her in 1949 for 25 anniversary MGM banquet. How cool.
The 1974 event was for the premiere of the movie That's Entertainment, and was held on May 17, 1974. Agnes was still alive but in poor health. She died a month later on April 30.
O my goodness thanks for sharing this these were back in my days when I was in my 40s I’am now 82 years wow thank i remember this

Ах , какие Выдающиеся актёры Голливуда ! Красивые и очень - очень талантливые ! ❤❤❤🎬🎥💥💥💥👏👏👏🌹🌷🍀🙏❤️
So happy and so sad at the same time!
This were the STARS then .There will NEVER and I mean NEVER STARS like that anymore!
Errol Flynn was the best actor during those years, since 1935 until 1959,.
Hmmm, Bette Davis said he wasn't much good and he didn't care to much about it. He liked being a star. This was from her 1987 interview in England, while promoting his book. I just watched it 2 weeks ago.
So so enjoyed every moment watching this video .congratulations and thank you for your hard work .

We lost our beloved Angela 😢
Real actors & actresses.
This is sooooo Wondrous!!! Aww, miss these beautiful people!!!
Speaking of beautiful people, Vera Ellen is nowhere to be seen here. And she was one of MGM's big stars at this time!
Loved this
What a gem. Loved it all. Thank you
Errol Flynn mistiming his entrance lol amazing stars and I loved Mario Lanza as a child, I used to watch his movies.
I think that George Murphy accidentally skipped over him when reading the names. To that point, they had been alphabetical.
you remember mario lanza when he was a little kid?
@@-elchoya9832 😆 no I loved his movies when I was a little kid. Mario Lanza, Danny Kaye and Deanna Durbin movies
No celebrations in this year (2024) even though it's the 100 anniversary of MGM
Bummer it's because we don't have any of those stars anymore and MGM doesn't exist anymore only in name
TCM did do a month long tribute to MGM either May or June of 2024.

They all did acting what you would really call acting and entertainment!
Errol Flynn came in with Greer Garson so he just walked in with her. He was a big big star
he was making THAT FORSYTHE WOMAN 1949 with her.would later make KIM 1950 for M.G.M,but was mainly a WARNER BROTHERS star.

You can say that again... There won't be any more like this before or later..Every time I hear Liza Minnelli sing I hear her mom Judy

So amazing.
Che emozione per Mario Lanza questa cena tra i grandi di Hollywood! Lui era l'astro nascente e per una volta la moglie appiccicosa è rimasta a casa!!
Ava Gardner is from my home state of NC
Done in 1974, as Ginger is older here, born in 1911
So grand!
Everyone is eating the same dish....it was some kinda chicken dinner 🥣

@@countfosco1TY for the info I never knew that I wonder why they didn't show up
Sinatra was there; I bet he was checking out Ava Gardner sitting next to Clark Gable!
Shirley MacLaine
90 as of APRIL 2024
I didn't see Elizabeth Taylor...she was a big MGM star who started as a child actress in Lassie.
Who was the lady that had a cane, I couldn't understand them when her name was announced
I know that 3 of them are still alive.
claude jarman jr only one still living dec 2023 89
Claude 89 and Margaret O'Brien 87 January 2024.
Isn't Russ Tamblyn still alive?
Yes..Mr.Tamblyn is still with us.
@@bbbrown3408 Claude now 91.
GEORGE HAMILTON aged 84 AS OF APRIL 2024
Clint Eastwood is 94
I prefer the dresses from 1940 .
I believe Claude Jarman, Jr., Margaret O'Brien, and Liza Minnelli are the only survivors out of that group of legendary movie stars.
Yes just those three. Zsa Zsa Gabor who died in 2016 aged 99, remains the longest-lived of all these stars.
Theresa Wright is still alive isn't she and Clint Eastwood is 94 Dick Van Dyke is 98..Russ Tamblyn and Shirley McLaine is still with us
@@garycarpenter6433 Teresa died in 2005.
@@Garsons-oq4lh Oh she did.. bummer TY for the info kind friend
and the great grandson of lassie!
Could hardly understand Liza in 1974 announcements.
I agree. They should of had hand held microphones.
Why is some of them wearing what seems to be period costume?
Because some of them are still in costume for the movies they were filming that day.
THE TOAST OF NEW ORLEANS (Kathryn Grayson, Mario Lanza)
THAT FORSYTE WOMAN (Greer Garson Janet Leigh)
MADAME BOVARY (Jennifer Jones, Alf Keijin)
I know Errol Flynn was with Warner Bros, but he was still a big star. Why not introduce him?
You answered your own question
Magic time
Errol Flynn waa the best actor of his generation, and no mention at all to his presence in that event. I do not understand. Why?
Wow
Surprise attendant of Katherine Hepburn
2024?
Who's that cute young man at 5:12?
To @delavalmilker; that is Claude Jarman Jr., who is still alive at 89, and should he make it to September 27, 2024 he will be 90.
All those big egos together must be a difficult task to seat them with the right partner.
They were seated more or less alphabetically
Why must you be so nasty 🥵why not just enjoy the video ?
You sound like a jealous hater. Too bad you can't enjoy them and all the entertainment they've given us. If it upsets you so......don't watch. Your negativity would never survive in this business ! GO away and read your Bible!
Wonder why he didn't introduce Errol Flynn. That's unacceptable
was lana turner there.frank morgan and wallace beery would die in 1949 and 1950 respectively
morgan in 1950,beery in 1949
I'm wondering where are Norma Shearer, Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, sure they didn't work for MGM in 1949 but they literally made MGM rich
@@stupidahyan5721 The studio tossed them out when the got old.
