I don't know, I don't think that Debra Winger was wrong for wanting to put her best into something, just to have it mixed with other types of liberal women who would take away from a film. I can't blame her as of thus far with these claims, Travolta, Gere, if what is being said about those two is TRUE, I can't blame her for that too. I read where Richard Gere was trying out for the part in 'The Lords Of Flatbush' and was supposed to act that he was trying to deny his feelings toward a female actress while 'Chico' (Perry King),was supposed to try and talk him into going for the female for a relationship. Gere was 'like a brick wall', (so to speak, as he was giving King nothing to work with), so Perry King switched into trying to take the girl from Gere and King ended up with the part as 'Chico' in it, where Gere wasn't hired. All in all, I think I'm with Winger on this. 😁
I can't believe I never knew Debra and Richard didn't get along. This is hard to believe because the scenes in An Officer And A Gentleman would truly have you thinking otherwise. Just goes to show what an incredible actress Debra is. All her movies, especially her 80's work, I have enjoyed immensely. They are some of my favorite films of all time.
Every movie I've watched Debra Winger in, I'VE LOVED and it's a testament to her acting chops that none of what was going on behind the scenes marred the believability of her incredible performances.
So true!!! It speaks to her professionalism that the issues behind the scenes didn’t diminish her performance. She always brings a such a genuine quality to her roles, there’s something so endearing about how she portrays her characters.
Always loved Debra Winger. It was in her eyes. One of my favorite scenes to this day is in Terms of Endearment when she looks at Shirley McClaine before her character dies. SO much said and not a single word spoken. Absolutely brilliant!
Debra has a strong, outspoken way about her. OK, she may have gotten overexposed at times, but many talented, driven people are that way. All-in-all, I admire her and her contributions!!
@@naryaquid - So if everyone in the industry uses drugs and has an abrasive personality, it’s the norm, and therefore acceptable? Hmmmmm… so if everyone rapes it’s okay, if everyone killed it’s okay too? No. Just no.
I disagree. I think it was 2 movies and then we didn't see her for so long and she looked older, different. Oh, she was in the movie with Teresa (beautiful actress). I never thought Debra was outstanding for an actress . Different views.haha
I love Debra Winger in “Terms of Endearment “ she gave an Oscar winning performance as the daughter of an overbearing mother, no matter what her mother did to sabotage her life, she always loved her, her hospital death scene when she is the hospital bed brings me to tears, and her mother saying, she just looked at me and she had that look of so much pain, and then it was over, so sad and compelling, good job Debra Winger
Cry my eyes out whenever I watch Terms of Endearment, the little boy's scene then the death scene, holy crap my heart!!! 😭I'm usually sobbing by the end of that movie without fail. I'll most likely watch it again tomorrow...😁
She's a heck of an actress! Terms of Endearment still makes me cry. Definitely one of my favorite movies of all time. However, when that many actors have a problem behind the scenes with her, I know I would be taking a long look at myself.
I really like Debra Winger and have liked her in just about every role she has played - especially Urban Cowboy and An Officer And A Gentleman. Both movies I love seeing again. It takes me back to my younger days and a fonder time.
This is all lies!debra winger!didn't sell her soul to the devil!like! Travolta,Gere,Madonna,and all the rest of them!HELLYWOOD!IS EVIL,I HAVE ALOT OF RESPECT FOR DEBRA WINGER!
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
My parents saw Urban Cowboy on their third date and danced to the soundtrack at their wedding. My dad had a huge crush on both Debra Winger and Karen Allen so I grew up watching a lot of their movies. I always appreciated that era of Hollywood, where pretty-but-not-in-an-overwhelmingly-so-way, strong, and smart, very individual women were the leads.
who needs to be kind to her are the directors of today, because a debra winger comeback would be one of thr most talked about thing if it were to happen.
Debra Winger has been excellent in every movie I've ever seen her in. My favorites are Officer and a Gentleman and Terms of Endearment. She also had the sexiest laugh in all of Hollywood.
Debra Winger is a great actress. No one is perfect. Actors don’t have chemistry all the time. As well as directors are also to blame. As this post demonstrates. Thanks for sharing this. 👏👏👍👍
she claims a lot of sexism was a factor in her treatment from co-workers but one of her most famous on-set fueds was with another woman. could it be possible that a talented actor could just be a pain in the ass?
@@haintedhouse2990 actually she only had one or two other "feuds" but she was eccentric and she was another strong female presence like Debra Winger so I believe it was probably more of a clash of wills per se
@@haintedhouse2990 I heard Winger dropped out of League of Their Own when she found out Madonna came onboard the project. Madonna had said in an interview how Winger was not right for the Moresby role in The Sheltering Sky. I remember reading the interview and Madonna was bemoaning how Winger was “so wrong” in the part.
I like Debra Winger, and knowing she didn’t get along with Travolta and Gere makes me like her even more. As far as Winger movies goes, “Forget Paris” is still one of my favorites. Great chemistry with a very funny Billy Christal. Wonder how they got along when the cameras stopped rolling…
And you know he didn't insult her about college since he quit high school at 16! Sounds like she.looks for something to be upset about. All I've ever heard Travolta say about her was good. The producer on Urban Cowboy didn't want her and it was Travolta and Bridges who went to bat for her. Travolta went so far as to say he'd quit if they fired her! Doesn't sound like he was mean to her.
She left Hollywood for years but then came back and got an Oscar nomination in 1994 for "Shadowlands". Also, my favorite movie of Winger's was "Black Widow".
Black Widow is one of my favorite movies! I admire Debra Winger’s talent & outspokenness. Leading men can be major assholes & it’s no big deal. But women are always labeled as “difficult” if we refuse to put up with any crap. This classic quote from Network applies: “I’m mad as hell & I’m not going to take this anymore!”
Raquel Welch sued the producers of that movie because she was originally cast and they only wanted her cast so they could get the bank backing on her name and then they fired her and slipped in Debra Winger
@@saugusguy yes, and she won her lawsuit. (She was actually willing to do a topless scene in the film. Something she was constantly asked to do, but never did.)
in all 3 of her big films, Terms of Endearment, Officer and a Gentleman, and Urban Cowboy her co-stars had gripes about her. sounds like she's the one with the problem.
A lot of the male actors that were cited in this video also have a reputation of being difficult to work with. It resonates with what she said about sexism in Hollywood. Also Debra Winger has been present these past handful of years. She played a mom in the Netflix series The Ranch, and a cheating wife in the movie The Lovers. Why am I left feeling like this video does not give credit where credit is due? Am I alone here? 🤷🏻♀️
There was this one episode where Richard Gere was in a movie with Silvester Stalone. It was lunchtime and Richard saw Silvester get in a car with his sandwich. Richard went into the same car with a greasy chicken. He eventually spilled some grease on Silvester. Silvester kicked him out of the car. Richard got kicked out of the movie, for being difficult towards Silvester.
Women are often called difficult when they're outspoken, have a strong personality and expose shitty behavior. In any situation, man or woman, you're ostracized when being the first to go against societal norms.
@@dos3622 she supposedly screwed one of her married costars on Urban Cowboy, as well as several married crew members. She might not be the one breaking vows but it's not very sisterly of her. The wheels kind of come off the feminist double standards accusation with that one.
It's so odd how Debra and Richard Gere seemed to have good chemistry in An Officer And A Gentleman despite them not having got along in real life behind the scenes. I give them credit for really "acting" in their scenes together lol.
I loved her character in Leap of Faith where she played opposite Steve Martin. Of course I love Urban Cowboy and Terms of Endearment but seeing her play opposite Steve Martin was great.
"An Officer and a Gentleman," is my favorite but a close behind that is "Terms of Endearment," both are showing excellent acting skills by Debra Winger.
An Officer and A Gentleman without doubt. Their onscreen chemistry was awesome but today after watching this video I was aghast. Both Richard Gere and she never got along on the sets is unbelievable. Perhaps that is what we call "a talented actor". ❤️❤️😘😘😘👍👍👍
Yes, An Officer and a Gentleman was one of Debra's finest, if not the finest. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
I remember hearing about her and Richard Gere not getting along, but I’d also heard that HE could be very difficult too. I liked her in Rachel Getting Married but I guess the mechanical bull riding scene from Urban Cowboy will be my all-time favorite.
Taylor Hackford, the director of "An Officer And A Gentleman" apparently has a problem with showing up on time for anything (wonder if he was always late turning up for work on that particular movie?). Only one person has ever called him out about it. The woman who ended up becoming his wife, Helen Mirren.
This coverage just makes me a bigger Debra Winger fan. It's a shame she didn't make more movies. Hollywood really threw a priceless diamond to the bottom of the ocean on this one. Fools.
I think she is/was great. I loved her in Terms of Endearment but I think my favourite is Shadowlands with Anthony Hopkins. They were both wonderful in that film (Anthony is a favourite anyway). Cant fault that film
I absolutely love the movie Cannery Row, one of my all-time favorites. It is such an iconic movie. The entire cast for the movie, including Debra Winger, was great.
I remember working in the cinema in high school and being a HUGE Robert Redford fan and hearing how he and Debra did NOT get along at all. Which amazed me and still does because you never hear ANYONE claiming bad things against Robert Redford or claiming he had a huge ego and was hard to work with. Legal Eagles however was a decent and fun movie, very under rated for BOTH Debra and Robert.
Debra Winger is great successful actress. I love her work on Wonder Woman. Radio, An Officer and a Gentleman and The Warriors are my favorite films. Wonderful Lady!
@@FactsVerse I'd like to see you cut down on erroneous info and spruce up the announcer's pronunciation of iconic names. Like when he called Jack Klugman Jack Kloogman.
An Officer and a Gentleman is an absolute classic. I had no idea she didn't get along with her co-stars that well. But seriously - farting? Seems juvenile. But she is good at her craft.
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
You have to have passion to be an actor. Put a bunch of passionate people together with differing personalities and of course you're going to get clashes. I think she's a great actress (and in one of my all time favorite films, Shadowlands). Given the toxicity in Hollywood that is still coming to light, I can imagine anyone who stood up for themselves would have gotten unfairly judged.
No!you have to sell your soul to the devil!or your out!debra winger!isn't one of them!like travolta,Gere,and madonna!she has respect !and i have alot of respect for debra!winter!now!this is all !lies!HELLYWOOD!IS SATANIC!AND EVIL!DEBRA WAS SMART!
I've watched Debra's most movies. Debra Winger's filmography, enjoying a multitude of her captivating performances. Notably, her portrayal of Drusilla, Wonder Woman's spirited younger sister, left an indelible mark on my memory. There are, two cinematic gems stand out prominently for me: the riveting thriller "Betrayed" and the enthralling "Black Widow." Winger's exceptional talent truly shines in these films, showcasing her ability to delve into complex characters and deliver performances that resonate deeply with audiences.
They were all pretty good ones, she's got a great track record....but, OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN really stands out for me! It has suffering, sassiness, sacrifice and redemption, with a great, great ending.....LOVE IT ABOVE ALL OTHERS....yea!!!
I love the movies she have acted in n when it comes to being in the acting business….. There’s a lot you have to put up with it the actress, the actor, the director to producer anybody that is connected in that matter. There is a moment when you don’t have to put up with crap, but a lot of acting folks do n have done so in the past or even nowadays or there’s a lot that we don’t know even though Deborah Wringer might not have been going through they’re putting up with everybody’s crap That a lot of us don’t know during those movie days I loved her movies as an actress😊
I'm not a big fan of hers, but she's a good actress. I think a lot of times there's friction between cast members just because they are thrown into situations where their characters are so close and they really don't want to be that close personally with the people they're playing with. Also, it can't help but be a contest of egos between the players. It's kind of like Marlon Brando used to say that it's just a bunch of pretty people playing pretend, but as in anything, whenever there's a culture people have a pecking order and there's always a struggle to establish one's place in it on every job. I think she did a good job when she was working. She made a good choice leaving the movie industry feeling as she does. I wouldn't want to have to work with people like that either. It's just the nature of Hollywood and performing dramatic artists.
You're very correct there, chemistry is extremely important. IF you are portraying a couple with a past it's hard to believe when the 2 actors had never met before and are just thrown together.
She is an excellent actress but I'm hard pressed to give anyone a pass when they have a terrible reputation. There are too many great actors and actresses who have nothing but fantastic reputations for being good and gracious on the sets and working with their co-stars. I'm not going to knock someone for being a jerk (they exist in all jobs) but I wouldn't make up excuses for them either.
Debra Winger was so good in all those early blockbuster movies like An Officer and a Gentleman, Terms of Endearment, and Urban Cowboy, I had no idea there was any conflict behind the scenes. As I have read before about her, she could even act with a subtle move of her eyes. I hope she is happy and well now wherever she is.
The double standard excuse is victimhood instead of owning ones own bad behavior. There are men whose careers die because of bad behavior as well. Ass holes are ass holes, regardless of sex.
When I was young I was often told I reminded people of Kim Basinger. One day while watching a movie starring her with my dad I mentioned this. He said, "That's funny, I thought you reminded me of Debra Winger...not just looks, but something else about the two of you." I was over the moon to hear that from him. Not just the extremely favorable comparison, but the compliment it implied. Dad didn't hand out compliments. I really miss that man. If I could go back in time I would do more to speed up the friendship we eventually cultivated so that we'd have more quality time together. Ahhh...the stupidity of youth.
I am not a romantic theme guy; But I really liked Officer and a Gentleman. One of my fav films is Terms of Endearment. Winger was fetching. But I am a Flap guy--Jeff Daniel's performance is so so good. One of THE best comic lines ever: "So does this mean you won't be knitting the baby any booties?" OMG! Belly laughs every time. Maybe it's the misanthrope in me. Or maybe it's because I'm a college English teacher like Flap. I don't know. The belly laugh does me hella good--that's all I know.
I've been thinking about that movie as I scroll through the comments. I was planning on mentioning it. You are the only one I've seen mention it. Tom Beringer was great too.
She is certainly talented - but the fact that she's had feuds with almost all her co-stars, even women, just shows how difficult she must be. And I'm glad she didn't do A League of Their Own - Geena was perfect in the role and Madonna gave a great performance. The fact that Debra didn't get along with Travolta, MacLaine, and Gere - three actors you never hear as the subject of feuds or bad behavior - just points to Debra's own problems getting along with others.

@@rhondabitler2461 she never said anything bad about Gere or Travolta...she said some of the men she had to work for on the movie sets were pigs...glad she stood up for herself. OF COURSE THEY ARE GOING TO SAY SHE WAS "hard to work with"..prob meant she would not sleep with the producers or whatever...sheesh...jerks
I think she knows her craft, knows her talent and has a pair of brass ones. Before her time and yes, I believe a lot of her rep is due to sexism. She'd have been lorded for her views and outlook as a man.
Always felt She was talented, didn’t know about all Her beefs. I don’t know the full situation but to me it takes a lot of full for a newer actress like Her to be combative with an established actress like Shirley McLaine.
I like her in The Officer & A Gentleman, Urban Cowboy 🤠,and in Terms Of Endearment never knew or was aware of any behind the scenes drama going on, but it's expected that there would be some personality clashes among co-star's & co-workers onset of any movies 🎥🍿 & TV Show's
Thanks for your excellent commentary. My favorite Debra movie is the 1987 drama, "Black Widow." Would love to see it again on TH-cam--for free, of course!
I admired Debra for boldly stating at the time of " Officer and Gentleman's" release that she couldn't stand Working with Richard Gere. Very bold and honest!
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
I remember a comment in Billy Wilder's autobiography, regarding difficulties working with Monroe: his aunt would be always punctual and never give any problems on set...but nobody would go and watch her in a movie....I mean a great actor may be difficult but still be great - and that is what matters. Winger is a great actor and nobody would care if a male actor were opinionated or hard to deal with. Women are always asked to be pretty and nice. We miss actresses like Winger nowadays.
She had been sought after for several roles she turned down which would later become iconic. I believe one of them was Clarice Starling in 'Silence of the Lambs,' which, of course, would be inherited by Jodie Foster.
@@basquat76 I'm about 95% sure I heard she was among several stars being considered for the role at the time. There's a lengthy list of key parts she rejected for movies that would become quite successful. She had wielded tremendous clout and respect in Hollywood at her prime. She also turned down the lead in 'The Accused' which ultimately went to Jodie Foster. Foster won an Oscar for her performance.

Absolutely! Which episode is the most memorable for you?
@@FactsVerse She was fantastic in “Terms of Endearment.”
A lot of the male actors that were cited in this video also have a reputation of being difficult to work with. It resonates with what she said about sexism in Hollywood. Also Debra Winger has been present these past handful of years. She played a mom in the Netflix series The Ranch, and a cheating wife in the movie The Lovers. Why am I left feeling like this video does not give credit where credit is due? Am I alone here? 🤷🏻♀️
There was this one episode where Richard Gere was in a movie with Silvester Stalone. It was lunchtime and Richard saw Silvester get in a car with his sandwich. Richard went into the same car with a greasy chicken. He eventually spilled some grease on Silvester. Silvester kicked him out of the car. Richard got kicked out of the movie, for being difficult towards Silvester.
Women are often called difficult when they're outspoken, have a strong personality and expose shitty behavior.
In any situation, man or woman, you're ostracized when being the first to go against societal norms.
@@dos3622 she supposedly screwed one of her married costars on Urban Cowboy, as well as several married crew members. She might not be the one breaking vows but it's not very sisterly of her. The wheels kind of come off the feminist double standards accusation with that one.
@@dos3622 I would kick out as well if anyone dirty my car. Maybe you like cleaning up after people
Well I've seen her in interviews being rude and arrogant so I think she probably is difficult
It's so odd how Debra and Richard Gere seemed to have good chemistry in An Officer And A Gentleman despite them not having got along in real life behind the scenes. I give them credit for really "acting" in their scenes together lol.
No different then Dirty Dancing. Swayze and Grey didn't really get along
I loved her character in Leap of Faith where she played opposite Steve Martin. Of course I love Urban Cowboy and Terms of Endearment but seeing her play opposite Steve Martin was great.
Us too! Thank you for the trip down memory lane. What other types of video would you like to see?
It’s crazy because she had great chemistry with John Travolta and Richard Gere! She reminds me of Sean Young. Another difficult actress.
"An Officer and a Gentleman," is my favorite but a close behind that is "Terms of Endearment," both are showing excellent acting skills by Debra Winger.
Our favorite too! Thank you for the trip down memory lane. What other types of video would you like to see?
@@FactsVerse yw
An Officer and A Gentleman without doubt. Their onscreen chemistry was awesome but today after watching this video I was aghast. Both Richard Gere and she never got along on the sets is unbelievable. Perhaps that is what we call "a talented actor". ❤️❤️😘😘😘👍👍👍
Yes, An Officer and a Gentleman was one of Debra's finest, if not the finest. Thank you for sharing your thoughts. What other types of video would you like to see?
Black widow and officer and a gentleman were two of my favorites of hers. I also liked her in the ranch she was a good actress I thought.
Debra Winger is a very talented actress. Had no idea that she called it quits with Hollywood, but then again, who would blame her.
We absolutely agree! Thank you for your watching our video. Which role of Debra appealed to you the most?
I remember hearing about her and Richard Gere not getting along, but I’d also heard that HE could be very difficult too. I liked her in Rachel Getting Married but I guess the mechanical bull riding scene from Urban Cowboy will be my all-time favorite.
Thank you for sharing your all-time favorite! What other types of video would you like to see?
Taylor Hackford, the director of "An Officer And A Gentleman" apparently has a problem with showing up on time for anything (wonder if he was always late turning up for work on that particular movie?). Only one person has ever called him out about it. The woman who ended up becoming his wife, Helen Mirren.
He is a legend in his own mind..She is great!
This coverage just makes me a bigger Debra Winger fan. It's a shame she didn't make more movies. Hollywood really threw a priceless diamond to the bottom of the ocean on this one. Fools.
I always thought she was a beautiful and talented actress I enjoyed her in every movie she's ever played in.
Beautiful words, thank you for your message for Debra. Which of her roles appealed to you the most?
So many great films! Cannery Row, The Sheltering Sky and Big Bad Love are stand outs in my memory💙
Thanks for her story. I loved her in URBAN COWBOY AND TERMS OF ENDEARMENT AND OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN.
Thanks for watching! We're so glad you enjoyed this video. What other types of video would you like to see?
I loved all 3 of these movies they are all my favorites
Officer and a Gentleman, Terms of Endearment, and Urban Cowboy. One of the greats of her time!
I think she is/was great. I loved her in Terms of Endearment but I think my favourite is Shadowlands with Anthony Hopkins. They were both wonderful in that film (Anthony is a favourite anyway). Cant fault that film
I absolutely love the movie Cannery Row, one of my all-time favorites. It is such an iconic movie. The entire cast for the movie, including Debra Winger, was great.
One of our favorites too, you've got fine taste! What other types of video would you like to see?
I remember working in the cinema in high school and being a HUGE Robert Redford fan and hearing how he and Debra did NOT get along at all. Which amazed me and still does because you never hear ANYONE claiming bad things against Robert Redford or claiming he had a huge ego and was hard to work with.
Legal Eagles however was a decent and fun movie, very under rated for BOTH Debra and Robert.
Oh there has been a lot of negative said about Robert Redford and his reputation as a pri-k. So not true.
@@Friendofstfrank I never heard anything bad about him. I have always heard he was a class act, nice guy to work with and was humble around fans.
A lot of actors enjoyed working with him per their interviews like Barbara Streisand, Jane Fonda, Michelle Pfeiffer.
@@Friendofstfrank Redford directed and starred in The Horse Whisperer, one of my favorite movies of all time.
Loved Terms of Endearment! A lot of great actors in that movie.
We absolutely agree! Thank you for your watching our video. Be on the lookout for the next one!
Debra Winger is great successful actress. I love her work on Wonder Woman. Radio, An Officer and a Gentleman and The Warriors are my favorite films. Wonderful Lady!
She wasn't in The Warriors. You may be thinking of Deborah Van Valkenburgh.
@@angelthman1659 - You are correct. I guess Deborah Van Walkenburg does look a little like Debbie Winger

She was my favorite actress back then. I loved how she came across on screen..
Glad to know that you're a fan of Debra. Which of her films appealed to you the most?
@@FactsVerse terms of endearment, urban cowboy. I also liked Mike's Murder even though the movie itself was a bit cheesy. 🙂
loved her in "Urban Cowboy", she and John supported a great story and background
terms of endearment my favorite movie of Debra winger
She didn't seem to have any problems with (my idol) Robert Redford during the filming of "Legal Eagles".
An Officer and a Gentleman is an absolute classic. I had no idea she didn't get along with her co-stars that well. But seriously - farting? Seems juvenile. But she is good at her craft.

Shirley McClain's story about Debra Winger is hilarious. She didn't seem too impressed.
@@timleelim9930 lol
Terms of Endearment and Urban Cowboy was my favorite movies I love them
Thank you for sharing your favorite films of Debra! What other types of video would you like to see?
You have to have passion to be an actor. Put a bunch of passionate people together with differing personalities and of course you're going to get clashes. I think she's a great actress (and in one of my all time favorite films, Shadowlands). Given the toxicity in Hollywood that is still coming to light, I can imagine anyone who stood up for themselves would have gotten unfairly judged.
No!you have to sell your soul to the devil!or your out!debra winger!isn't one of them!like travolta,Gere,and madonna!she has respect !and i have alot of respect for debra!winter!now!this is all !lies!HELLYWOOD!IS SATANIC!AND EVIL!DEBRA WAS SMART!
Debra Winger.....ahead of the times. Love her.

I love Debra ❤
Particularly aß Laura Kelly in LEGAL EAGLES with Robert Redford on her side 😊.
"Not f-able enough"? She is one of the most beautiful great actresses of all time. Stunning woman. Very real and unpretentious.
Loved her in everything. Particularly in Shadow land wit Anthony Hopkins she should have got an Oscar for that. 👏👏💖

I've watched Debra's most movies. Debra Winger's filmography, enjoying a multitude of her captivating performances. Notably, her portrayal of Drusilla, Wonder Woman's spirited younger sister, left an indelible mark on my memory. There are, two cinematic gems stand out prominently for me: the riveting thriller "Betrayed" and the enthralling "Black Widow." Winger's exceptional talent truly shines in these films, showcasing her ability to delve into complex characters and deliver performances that resonate deeply with audiences.
I miss her in movies.. very talented:)
Us too! Which role of Debra appealed to you the most?
They were all pretty good ones, she's got a great track record....but, OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN really stands out for me! It has suffering, sassiness, sacrifice and redemption, with a great, great ending.....LOVE IT ABOVE ALL OTHERS....yea!!!
I liked her in Urban cowboy and loved her in Black Widow.
Thank you for sharing your favorite roles of Debra. What other types of video would you like to see?
I love the movies she have acted in n when it comes to being in the acting business….. There’s a lot you have to put up with it
the actress, the actor, the director to producer anybody that is connected in that matter. There is a moment when you don’t have to put up with crap, but a lot of acting folks do n have done so in the past or even nowadays or there’s a lot that we don’t know even though Deborah Wringer might not have been going through they’re putting up with everybody’s crap That a lot of us don’t know during those movie days I loved her movies as an actress😊
Black Widow 1987, opposite her antagonist Theresa Russell.
I love her acting, the behind the scenes can be chaotic 🤪 at times.
I'm not a big fan of hers, but she's a good actress. I think a lot of times there's friction between cast members just because they are thrown into situations where their characters are so close and they really don't want to be that close personally with the people they're playing with. Also, it can't help but be a contest of egos between the players. It's kind of like Marlon Brando used to say that it's just a bunch of pretty people playing pretend, but as in anything, whenever there's a culture people have a pecking order and there's always a struggle to establish one's place in it on every job. I think she did a good job when she was working. She made a good choice leaving the movie industry feeling as she does. I wouldn't want to have to work with people like that either. It's just the nature of Hollywood and performing dramatic artists.
You're very correct there, chemistry is extremely important. IF you are portraying a couple with a past it's hard to believe when the 2 actors had never met before and are just thrown together.
She is an excellent actress but I'm hard pressed to give anyone a pass when they have a terrible reputation. There are too many great actors and actresses who have nothing but fantastic reputations for being good and gracious on the sets and working with their co-stars. I'm not going to knock someone for being a jerk (they exist in all jobs) but I wouldn't make up excuses for them either.
Whichever producer said she wasn't f...able enough is a muppet. Gorgeous and talented!
Debra is one of my favorite actresses loved her in Urban Cowboy
Thank you for sharing your favorite role of Debra! Who are your other favorite actresses?
@@FactsVerse Elisabeth Shue, Cher, Allison Janney, Sandra Bullock, Melissa McCarthy,Meryl,Roslyn Russel,Natalie Wood,Kathy Bates,
Debra Winger was so good in all those early blockbuster movies like An Officer and a Gentleman, Terms of Endearment, and Urban Cowboy, I had no idea there was any conflict behind the scenes. As I have read before about her, she could even act with a subtle move of her eyes. I hope she is happy and well now wherever she is.
She’s so right about the double standard
ok
The double standard excuse is victimhood instead of owning ones own bad behavior. There are men whose careers die because of bad behavior as well. Ass holes are ass holes, regardless of sex.
When I was young I was often told I reminded people of Kim Basinger. One day while watching a movie starring her with my dad I mentioned this. He said, "That's funny, I thought you reminded me of Debra Winger...not just looks, but something else about the two of you." I was over the moon to hear that from him. Not just the extremely favorable comparison, but the compliment it implied. Dad didn't hand out compliments. I really miss that man. If I could go back in time I would do more to speed up the friendship we eventually cultivated so that we'd have more quality time together. Ahhh...the stupidity of youth.
yep when i was young people would always tell me I reminded them of Brad Pitt.
I am not a romantic theme guy; But I really liked Officer and a Gentleman.
One of my fav films is Terms of Endearment. Winger was fetching. But I am a Flap guy--Jeff Daniel's performance is so so good. One of THE best comic lines ever: "So does this mean you won't be knitting the baby any booties?" OMG! Belly laughs every time. Maybe it's the misanthrope in me.
Or maybe it's because I'm a college English teacher like Flap. I don't know. The belly laugh does me hella good--that's all I know.
All of them were so good she was is a great actress !!!’
Betrayed has my favorite role of hers.
I've been thinking about that movie as I scroll through the comments. I was planning on mentioning it. You are the only one I've seen mention it. Tom Beringer was great too.
My favorite Winger film is Terms of Endearment. Her performance in that movie is extraordinary and I sob every time I see it.
Thank you for sharing your favorite film of Debra! What other types of video would you like to see?
She is certainly talented - but the fact that she's had feuds with almost all her co-stars, even women, just shows how difficult she must be. And I'm glad she didn't do A League of Their Own - Geena was perfect in the role and Madonna gave a great performance. The fact that Debra didn't get along with Travolta, MacLaine, and Gere - three actors you never hear as the subject of feuds or bad behavior - just points to Debra's own problems getting along with others.
MacLaine had a rep..I believe I've heard of Gere having an ego. Travolta's the one I've never heard anything difficult about
Absolutely, we feel the same way! Thank you for sharing your sentiments and for watching our content. What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
@@rhondabitler2461 she never said anything bad about Gere or Travolta...she said some of the men she had to work for on the movie sets were pigs...glad she stood up for herself. OF COURSE THEY ARE GOING TO SAY SHE WAS "hard to work with"..prob meant she would not sleep with the producers or whatever...sheesh...jerks
@@lilpoohbear653 No doubt.
I think she knows her craft, knows her talent and has a pair of brass ones. Before her time and yes, I believe a lot of her rep is due to sexism. She'd have been lorded for her views and outlook as a man.
The first interaction says more about Travolta the Winger.
Always felt She was talented, didn’t know about all Her beefs. I don’t know the full situation but to me it takes a lot of full for a newer actress like Her to be combative with an established actress like Shirley McLaine.
You can watch her current work on 'The Ranch' on Netflix. Great work-loved her character. My favorite was 'Terms Of Endearment'.
I like her in The Officer & A Gentleman, Urban Cowboy 🤠,and in Terms Of Endearment never knew or was aware of any behind the scenes drama going on, but it's expected that there would be some personality clashes among co-star's & co-workers onset of any movies 🎥🍿 & TV Show's
Or just co-workers anywhere at any job :)
@@anonymousstrangeness7348 Agree. Woman are very difficult EVERYWHERE

I admired Debra for boldly stating at the time of " Officer and Gentleman's" release that she couldn't stand Working with Richard Gere. Very bold and honest!
Terms of Endearment was a great movie! Even though I do like her, I did hear she was hard to work with..

Saw Debra in Urban Cowboy and had to see her in An Officer and a Gentleman. What a doll!

I absolutely agree!!! She was really great in that movie, I still love to watch it after all these years!!! 🤪😍🥰❤️💥!
I remember a comment in Billy Wilder's autobiography, regarding difficulties working with Monroe: his aunt would be always punctual and never give any problems on set...but nobody would go and watch her in a movie....I mean a great actor may be difficult but still be great - and that is what matters. Winger is a great actor and nobody would care if a male actor were opinionated or hard to deal with. Women are always asked to be pretty and nice. We miss actresses like Winger nowadays.
favorite movie she was in... Urban Cowboy! I swear, I watch that movie an awful lot😁
Thank you for sharing your favorite movie of Debra! Which comes in at second place?
She had been sought after for several roles she turned down which would later become iconic. I believe one of them was Clarice Starling in 'Silence of the Lambs,' which, of course, would be inherited by Jodie Foster.
I think that was Michelle Pfeiffer who turned it down. Maybe they both did and ended with Foster.
@@basquat76 I'm about 95% sure I heard she was among several stars being considered for the role at the time. There's a lengthy list of key parts she rejected for movies that would become quite successful. She had wielded tremendous clout and respect in Hollywood at her prime. She also turned down the lead in 'The Accused' which ultimately went to Jodie Foster. Foster won an Oscar for her performance.
Jodie Foster was really good in "Silence of the Lambs." I can't imagine anyone else playing Clarice. Julianne Moore wasn't that great at it.
