I'm Canadian and John Candy was a national Treasure. I cried when he passed. I still can't watch Uncle Buck without breaking down. Everybody loved him. And of course I Loved Maureen O'Hara. One the most beautiful women who ever lived and still stunning here. R.I.P
So sad to think that everyone in this wonderful clip is gone. Younger people may not realize how classy, modest, and sincere celebrities used to be...and how entertaining late night talk shows once were.
RIP Maureen O'Hara (August 17, 1920 - October 24, 2015), aged 95 And RIP John Candy (October 31, 1950 - March 4, 1994), aged 43 You both will be remembered as legends.
Always stands out when one sees two actors together in the same production from long ago and one knows now that the older actor ended up outliving the younger actor by many years.
What a lovely interview. Maureen O'Hara was a delight but John Candy stood out. He was so respectful, so humble...they don't make them like that any more. Gone too soon...
Wow. Wow. Wow. Wonderful. The grace and humility that oozes from Maureen O'Hara is just refreshing from what you hear today. John Candy's deference to Maureen. Smart. 2 legends. 🇮🇪 🇨🇦
his is a great interviewer indeed, but what you described is literally the bare minimum requirements lol yet so many contemporary interviewers fail so hard at this
That's great insight. I grew up watching giants like Johnny Carson and I guess the one downside of somebody as adept having somebody so adept and so great at what they did is that anybody who comes after them is a little bit of a letdown
Carson was always a class act and the respect he has for Maureen is very evident in his actions. He held people in a higher regard than what these hosts do today. I miss Johnny and how great The Tonight Show used to be.
Absolutely right. Carson was the facilitator for his guests...he promoted them, he let them show/share their talents and tell their stories. Today's late night hosts have their own agendas, routines, and talk tracks. They treat their guests as participants in their own little circuses.
I agree with you. So sad that we lost him so early, but in reading about him I find that he did not live a happy life. His father passed at 35 from a heart condition that weighed heavily on his mind. And, no pun intended, he battled weight issues as well as with alcohol and cocaine. And suffered from depression. It's totally at odds with his screen image.
Neal: "Where's your other hand?" Dale: "Between two pillows" Neal: "Those aren't pillows" Both jump out of bed and pretend nothing happened. Funny stuff!
Oddly, but understandably, I find myself happy and teary-eyed watching this interview remembering how many good memories Maureen O’Hara and John Candy left me. Superb actors and decent people they were.
Watching 'Only the Lonely' is one of my favorites. Maureen O'Hara and John Candy had great chemistry. My mom loved her in all of her movies. The Quiet Man, my mom's favorite. Hearing Ms. O'Hara talking about John Candy talent was wonderful.
I was just thinking how we just had to go the theater to see this film. I remember thinking, mom wants to see a john candy movie? I wasn't getting that she grew up with O'Hara. she was one of her childhood HEROES. we rented the film and she watched it twice before returning it. I didn't get it for a long time.
28 years old and I remember watching Candys films with my family. One of the funniest and heartwarming humans you could ever see. His essence bleeds through all of his films. R.I.P Legend.
During the shooting of "Onley the Lonely", John Candy, being the star of the film, was given a bigger dressing room trailer than Maureen O'Hara. Upon discovering this, John made a big fuss, demanding that he switch trailers with Maureen O'Hara, insisting that she deserved the bigger of the two being that she was the bigger star. A really charming story that I never forgot. It shows you that Candy's comedy was only surpassed by his class.
John Candy had a plethora of humility and always was a giver. Yes he passed away too soon but God did he leave us in stitches with his numerous movies.
Candy gave O'Hara his own trailer and the producers were embarrassed that their star (Candy) was in the small trailer, so they got another big one for him.
I remember when I watched "Only the Lonely" for the first time a few years ago, I totally believed that John Candy was Maureen O'Hara's son. What a brilliant series of performances, including that of the great Anthony Quinn. On a side note, I am 30 years old (yes, born after this Tonight Show episode was recorded), and I have had a major crush on Maureen O'Hara since I first saw her in "The Quiet Man" when I was about 12. That scene in the cemetery just blew me away. A few years later, I wrote her a letter, and she very kindly sent me back an autographed index card, inscribed to me. I treasure it amongst my prized possessions. She was a brilliant, wonderful lady and a tremendous actress.
Maureen made five films directed by John Ford, "The Quiet Man" arguably the most famous. Recommended: Maureen's autobiography 'Tis Herself. There's a shocker in it, but I can't say what it is. I haven't watched anything late night since Johnny Carson retired, and I'm not the only one. Which is a shame, because I've always been a night owl.
I have tears in my eyes right now. Two wonderful actors, miss them both so much. I enjoyed many movies by the both of them. They don't make them like they use to. God bless both of them. Thanks for the memories. 😥🙏
John Candy sat throughout like a soldier waiting for an order what class and a true gentleman . I remember watching Only the lonely and Ms Ohara was as well as John wonderful in the movie, may they both rest well.
Absolutely ! John is smart enough to let Ms O'Hara take center stage and she gave him every compliment. He must have enjoyed this interview and known she would acknowlege his acting ability. Only the Lonely is a Wonderful movie because of these two.
@@MrAitraining Ok then that is more understandable, but he was still sitting attentively and had a look of great respect and awe toward Ms Ohara throughout the interview.
Look at John Candy flush red when Ms. O'Hara says she 'looked into his eyes and agreed to be his mom'. He must have just been bursting. A lovely moment.
What a great clip. All greats. As a young 24-year-old who grew up and lived on Indian Rock Beach, FL, I had the wonderful opportunity to meet John and appear as an extra in the movie Summer Rental. In fact, because of my knowledge of the area, I also had the opportunity to dine with John along with my neighbor (who was friends with Carl Reiner, the director). John was extremely nice, funny and very humble. I was in a number of the scenes with John, and he always treated everyone with respect and kindness. Such a loss!
So glad I found this clip. Two legends together; Maureen O’Hara is one of the most beautiful and charismatic actresses Hollywood has ever known and John Candy is one of the most effortlessly funny and charming actors Hollywood has ever known. What a truly lovely man he was and what a great pairing/casting in John and Maureen. ❤❤❤
God, what a line-up. Maureen O'Hara, the same lady that was making movies with John Wayne in the 50s, looking beautiful and as sharp as ever. And then Candy, one of the greatest entertainers. And obviously Johnny. The talent of those times... unbelievable.
I'm Canadian and was an Argo fan. I remember when John Candy acquired part ownership of the team. He put his acting career on hold for two years to promote the CFL. He would walk down to the field near the end of the game towards the players bench. The fans in the stands wildly cheer the man. I still enjoy watching old episodes of Second City. This great Canadian died much too early.
Maureen was right about John Candy being a very talented dramatic actor. His role in JKF is a good example. Had he not passed in 94 and was still with us today, I would not be surprised if he would have amassed a small collection of oscar statues, he was that good.
I can't be the only person who cries every time I see these recordings of John Candy. We were robbed. Then I remember, "Would you like some . . . PANCAKES?!"
Don't forget "That blowed up good....that blowed up REAL good!" A good deal (but not enough) of my youth was spent staying up late to watch that amazing cast of talented folks.
I am sad that Maureen's predictions were unable to come true, for only three years later we lost Candy. He would have been that star if he were alive today.
Heartbreaking when Maureen O'Hara speaks of all the brilliant work John Candy would get to do in the future, when in fact we know that he was taken from us way too soon.
I was thinking the same thing, we lost John Candy way too soon, I'll never forget being a kid in the late 80s/90s watching his movies in the living room, always made me laugh lol but now thinking back on those years brings a tear to the eye, unbelievable for how much the world has changed and not for the better unfortunately. I miss the simple times.
@@gabgarcia5446 It's different for every one of them. For some of them you can just write to their sponsoring agency. In Maureen's case I didn't even write to her, she fell in love with a website I designed on classic films and SHE tracked me down and wrote to me and sent me the autographed pic. I was so touched.
Wonderful to see both, such a calm, entertaining interview....Maureen O'hara had such class along with John Candy being such a great actor and good guy. Sad to think they're all gone.
John was so talented. He was scratching the surface of all that talent, as Ms. O’Hara eluded to, when he left us so terribly early. I miss him very much.
Hi LeilaniRocks I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….
ALL Late Night Show Hosts of 2023 should take page put of Johnny Carson 's playback for being a successful encee. So pleasant to listen to pure talent not political BS of 2023. Miss all the great ones.
O my how wonderful to see both of my favorite actors.together.must look for the movie. God bless them both .have a wonderful life in heaven .you brought us such wonderful memories. Linda Bellamy UK. 2022.
From SCTV to a host of comedy classics, John really was something special. So talented, so warm and sooo funny. All these years later, I still miss the guy.
I ran into John Candy in the Edmonton airport back in the 80's along with Joe Flaherty. It was close to midnight and they had spent the week filming SCTV. They were nice, gracious and friendly even though it was obvious they were spent from the week's work. Truly classy people.
I hadn’t seen this clip before. It was sad when Ms. O’Hara said, “One day soon, John will be doing all the great dramatic roles typical of the great Charles Laughton.” He passed away not too many years later, a tragic loss.
This was great! Three of my all time favorites in one room. The conversation sounds like real people talking. Ally Sheedy was wonderful in this movie too!!!!
I remember going to the theater when their movie came out and I HAD to see it! Not only for John Candy whom I loved but for Maureen O'hara whom I adored as I had seen so many of her movies. I remember thinking, as many people did at the time, how great it was that she agreed to come out of retirement to do this movie with John. They are both truly missed❤
I’ve never seen ‘Only The Lonely,’ but I must seek it out. Two of my favourite actors. I, like Johnny it seems, was in love with Maureen O’Hara when I first saw her on screen as a teenager.
Maureen, such a treasure. Her many performances are a gift to us all. John, so talented and funny, left us too soon. His memory will go on for generations to come.
2 wonderful actors very much loved i also enjoyed the movie that john and maureen were in with ally sheely.i miss all 4 greatly.thank you johnny,ed,john and most lovely maureen.
I remember Maureen O’Hara’s movies. They were amazing. She was always elegant and classy. Then there is John Candy I loved his under rated Uncle Buck, and Planes, Trains and Automobiles broke my heart
So much to talk about in this clip. I will choose one to say that Carson does not need to steal the show from his guests like the unwatchable garbage that are late shows today. He gave his guests the limellight and was incredibly respectful.
She played John Candy's mom in the movie and is very protective over him like a mom in this interview 😀. That was a good movie, the side story with Maureen and Anthony Quinn is worth seeing on its own.
As a kid I was absolutely in love with Maureen O'Hara. To this day I still think she's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. Please don't tell my wife.
it's very possible she may even be a distant relative of mine, O'Hara is a common name amongst my people, we both grew up Catholic and our origins are from Ireland, I wish I had a way to verify it for a fact but all I know is she checks all the boxes from what I can tell. amazing if she was indeed one of my people lol
@@jimmyc1518 It's very easy to tell who your distant relatives are if you're Irish. It's a very small country and all our surnames can be traced back to specific counties. For example, my last name is Farrell. The name originated in County Longford. I share a distant relation with actor Colin Farrell. My sister visited County Longford and the name is everywhere, from Farrell's hardware store, Farrell's Pub, Farrell's construction company, you name it. It's not only the most common name in the county, but my own grandfather told us himself where he's from. Funnily enough, even though O'Hara isn't actually Maureen's real surname, look up famous actress Catherine O'Hara. Catherine and John Candy were fellow actors and friends in the famous Canadian comedy group called SCTV in the early eighties. Catherine and John go way back together. So, do a little research on the internet. You can easily find the exact place where your ancestors are from. And the more you find out, the more you'll feel you owe it not only to yourself, but to them as well. It's important. Cheers.
Too late, Michael. Sorry to break it to you like this, but I have it on good authority your wife has contacted a divorce lawyer. And to make matters worse, she hasn't hired just any divorce lawyer, but famed, high powered, celebrity divorce lawyer Gloria Allred. And even worse than that, Gloria is now in touch with the networks and it looks like your divorce will be broadcast on national television. Again, Im very sorry.
Without a doubt, Maureen O’Hara was the most beautiful woman in the world when she appeared in “How Green Was My Valley.” The trick with the veil that was devised by John Ford in the scene as she was leaving the church after her character’s wedding was a masterpiece.
I was on the Turner Classic Movies cruise in 2013 and HGWMV was introduced by the late, great Jeopardy ! gameshow host, Alex Trebek. I had never seen the movie before. Alex said it was among his top 3-4 movie favorites; and it certainly became one of mine after seeing the stunning Maureen O'Hara in it !
@@ericthered760 John Ford tried to recreate the magic with “The Quiet Man”, but he couldn’t get the financing before WW2 when he went off filming documentaries for the US government. He finally got Republic to finance the project in 1951, and you can see a lot of the supporting actors from “How Green Was My Valley” along with Maureen O’Hara and John Wayne in the movie. Two of her brothers were also in the movie in the roles of the young priest and one of the young IRA members. There’s a great DVD of “The Quiet Man” with Ms. O’Hara providing constant background commentary. A highlight is during an interview that is included on the DVD, when the interviewer asks Ms. O’Hara “wasn’t it a lot of fun to film the movie?” and she replied “It wasn’t for me because they were all drunk all the time.”
I am crying as I'm watching this. What Maureen said about John being a great actor and predicting great roles for him, and then his life being cut short before that came to be...just way too sad for me. Comedic actors are overlooked, sometimes, as great actors because they aren't taken seriously. But John Candy was and incredible actor. He became the character and made it truly believable.
One of Candy's best performances was his criminally short part in JFK as Dean Andrews. If you want to see an early roll of Candy check out The Silent Partner. Starring Christopher Plummer, Eliot Gould and Susannah York .
There will definitely never be another John Candy. Uncle Buck, The Great Outdoors and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles are three of the greatest comedies of all time, plus all of the other smaller parts he had in other movies like home alone. He was the funniest person in every movie he was in. Even if it was for only five minutes.

John Candy was such a genuine and humble guy. A shame he was gone so early.
Unfortunately, obesity kills. God bless him, he was one of my favorites.
@@TheHomeExpert5 Calling someone obese is considered fat shaming, woke democrats don't allow that word anymore.
😥
@@TearDownThisWall too bad.Us normal people don't care what the demonrats say.Nothing but a bunch of troublemakers along with many other things.
@@TearDownThisWall many covid/corona deaths were obese. The whole world shut down and we were not told this
I love how candy makes her comfortable and only speaks when it's time. A real gentleman. A lovely soul.
A fine actor and a very, very funny man. It was so sad that he died so early on.
Absolutely.
He was so Canadian, he is so missed❤😢
Absolutely 💯 nice
I'm Canadian and John Candy was a national Treasure. I cried when he passed. I still can't watch Uncle Buck without breaking down. Everybody loved him. And of course I Loved Maureen O'Hara. One the most beautiful women who ever lived and still stunning here. R.I.P
He was a Great Canadian, gone too soon
Hard hearted cynical Hollywood types were crying uncontrollably at John’s funeral.
I loved John Candy's stuff. Me 1st recollection was in Heavy Metal. I love me cartoons too EH !!
Right at the end of Uncle Buck, when the camera freezes with Candy waving goodbye, gets me every time.
@@chazzmccloud36 That's exactly the moment for me too.
So sad to think that everyone in this wonderful clip is gone. Younger people may not realize how classy, modest, and sincere celebrities used to be...and how entertaining late night talk shows once were.
Okay boomer
@@JG-tt4sz It'll happen to you.
Or maybe it won't, nothing now is really gonna be worth feeling nostalgia for in 30 years...
Stephen Colbert is really entertaining
❤miss John
The cadence and casual, relaxed conversation aren’t there in Late nite now. It’s rushed and sound bites it seems
RIP Maureen O'Hara (August 17, 1920 - October 24, 2015), aged 95
And
RIP John Candy (October 31, 1950 - March 4, 1994), aged 43
You both will be remembered as legends.
Thirty years ago last month.
Love this movie. Very sweet. Great cast
He never got to be CharlesLaughton
Maureen O'HARA and John Candy. Mega Legends. Irreplaceable.
Always stands out when one sees two actors together in the same production from long ago and one knows now that the older actor ended up outliving the younger actor by many years.
She called John the next Charles Laughton. What an incredible compliment. I miss John Candy so very much!!! Ally Sheedy was great in this too.
Steve Martin said John Candy was the sweetest man he ever knew. R.I.P. John
😮 love that! it's in the eyes. OTL and PTA make laugh AND cry.
What a lovely interview. Maureen O'Hara was a delight but John Candy stood out. He was so respectful, so humble...they don't make them like that any more. Gone too soon...
Wow. Wow. Wow. Wonderful. The grace and humility that oozes from Maureen O'Hara is just refreshing from what you hear today. John Candy's deference to Maureen. Smart. 2 legends. 🇮🇪 🇨🇦
Awe John Candy. I always shed a tear for you. Always a genuine guy.
Carson is such a good interviewer. He showed such respect for Maureen and Candy then let them speak without interruption.
his is a great interviewer indeed, but what you described is literally the bare minimum requirements lol yet so many contemporary interviewers fail so hard at this
That's great insight. I grew up watching giants like Johnny Carson and I guess the one downside of somebody as adept having somebody so adept and so great at what they did is that anybody who comes after them is a little bit of a letdown
Class, absolutely one of the classiest ladies ever. Just wonderful to have watched this.
Maureen and Olivia De Havilland two beautiful and classy ladies of all times.
Carson was always a class act and the respect he has for Maureen is very evident in his actions. He held people in a higher regard than what these hosts do today. I miss Johnny and how great The Tonight Show used to be.
People always talk crap about him and it makes me realize just how bitter people can be
@Sheila Rider Same here. Johnny just kept it entertaining and not into a soapbox
Absolutely right. Carson was the facilitator for his guests...he promoted them, he let them show/share their talents and tell their stories. Today's late night hosts have their own agendas, routines, and talk tracks. They treat their guests as participants in their own little circuses.
Carson was a womanizer that almost got shot by a mobster for flirting with a chick he liked.But other than that he was class all the way.
Too bad he had to say, "I can't see you two hanging out". Poor taste.
“Only the Lonely” is one of my favorite films. I miss John Candy and his talent.
John Candy was a class act. He deferred to Maureen as she was greeted by Johnny. A gentleman
I noticed to that too. And he just sat there and let her speak uninterrupted.
A true gentleman
John was on first. Guests just stayed on the set for the next person. It was Maureen's time.
John Candy... He was EXCELLENT in Planes, Trains, and Automobiles. Miss him. A LOT. A real gentleman of cinema.
The ending of that movie, showed that he could do drama really well.
I agree with you. So sad that we lost him so early, but in reading about him I find that he did not live a happy life. His father passed at 35 from a heart condition that weighed heavily on his mind. And, no pun intended, he battled weight issues as well as with alcohol and cocaine. And suffered from depression. It's totally at odds with his screen image.

Funny stuff!
@@RonHelton : CLASSIC comedy. A pity that Steve Martin would go on to do a remake of The Pink Panther. NOONE can replace the Legendary Peter Sellers.
Oddly, but understandably, I find myself happy and teary-eyed watching this interview remembering how many good memories Maureen O’Hara and John Candy left me. Superb actors and decent people they were.
Amen
What an interesting interview by the master, Johnny Carson. Maureen O’Hara was so elegant and beautiful and so complimentary of John Candy!
My favorite actress of all time - absolutely a treasure on-screen and off! So stunningly beautiful and always played such strong parts.
Watching 'Only the Lonely' is one of my favorites. Maureen O'Hara and John Candy had great chemistry.
My mom loved her in all of her movies. The Quiet Man, my mom's favorite. Hearing Ms. O'Hara talking about John Candy talent was wonderful.
Loved that movie! ❤️❤️❤️
It was amazing to me how she acted the part of his mother in the movie - and it was so believable.
I was just thinking how we just had to go the theater to see this film. I remember thinking, mom wants to see a john candy movie? I wasn't getting that she grew up with O'Hara. she was one of her childhood HEROES. we rented the film and she watched it twice before returning it.
I didn't get it for a long time.
Pure class - nothing like them today. I love them both
Damn straight

This movie is brilliant--writing and acting. Very underrated. One of my all time favorite movies.
You give me hope that the truly great actors/actresses from long ago won't be forgotten. Thank you for sharing your story ❤️
I have tears in my eyes right now. Two wonderful actors, miss them both so much. I enjoyed many movies by the both of them. They don't make them like they use to. God bless both of them. Thanks for the memories. 😥🙏
I feel the same, those were the days.
It's depressing and painful to know that everybody in this video is dead now.
Crying as well...

John already had his time with Carson. Maureen was the 2nd guest. Prior guests stayed back then.
@@MrAitraining Ok then that is more understandable, but he was still sitting attentively and had a look of great respect and awe toward Ms Ohara throughout the interview.
Candy could have gotten an Oscar for Uncle Buck in my book. That was such a gem! I think that role defined much of his dramatic skills.
I love John! How can you not!? And Maureen, enough said! Her voice says it all!
So happy I found this interview.
It is not to be missed if you are a lifelog fan of both of these fine people… John Candy and Maureen O'Hara.

My first thought as well. He was so good in that small role in JFK.
Candy was an immense talent and very humble. Perhaps the most talented of the bigger men who died early.
Amen!
I can't be the only person who cries every time I see these recordings of John Candy. We were robbed.
Then I remember, "Would you like some . . . PANCAKES?!"
I agree he was amazing. I love this movie and I miss him😭
Ahhhhh, Dr. Tongue in the Horror House of Pancakes, ......loved that sketch.
Nope, not just you. I’m tearing up as well.
Don't forget "That blowed up good....that blowed up REAL good!" A good deal (but not enough) of my youth was spent staying up late to watch that amazing cast of talented folks.
GREAT COMMENT! PANCAKES!!! One of my favorite SCTV skits!!!
Imagine Maurenn O'Hara telling you that you will be a fantastic actor. Just nod and smile and say "Yes ma'am!"
I am sad that Maureen's predictions were unable to come true, for only three years later we lost Candy. He would have been that star if he were alive today.
John Candy was such the gentleman. Easy to forget when only watching his terrific films.

John Candy had so much heart and it is so sad we can't enjoy this incredible talent any longer. Gone much too soon !!!
Wonderful to see both, such a calm, entertaining interview....Maureen O'hara had such class along with John Candy being such a great actor and good guy.
Sad to think they're all gone.
Only the lonely was such a good movie....my parents were so happy that she came out of retirement. Now they too are gone...Good memories.
John was so talented. He was scratching the surface of all that talent, as Ms. O’Hara eluded to, when he left us so terribly early.
I miss him very much.
Hi LeilaniRocks I hope my comment didn't sound as a form of privacy invasion your comment tells of a wonderful woman with a beautiful heart which led me to comment I don't normally write in the comment section but I think you deserve this complement. If you don’t mind can we be friends? Thanks God bless you….
ALL Late Night Show Hosts of 2023 should take page put of Johnny Carson 's playback for being a successful encee. So pleasant to listen to pure talent not political BS of 2023.
Miss all the great ones.
We all miss John Candy!😢
Maureen O’Hara remains my very favorite actress of all time!!! I can’t count how many times I have watched the Quiet Man!!! Brilliant!!! 💚☮️
I still cry about John Candy two of the best comedies, “Planes, Trains & Automobiles” and “Uncle Buck”
He was a true human and artist.
😞🙏🌈
Unbelievably sweet duo - so genuine.
O my how wonderful to see both of my favorite actors.together.must look for the movie. God bless them both .have a wonderful life in heaven .you brought us such wonderful memories. Linda Bellamy UK. 2022.
I loved the man. Truly comedic genius. He could also play a serious role. Lost him way too early.
Love them both! Miss John a lot! Maureen was still a stunner in this interview!
From SCTV to a host of comedy classics, John really was something special. So talented, so warm and sooo funny. All these years later, I still miss the guy.
I ran into John Candy in the Edmonton airport back in the 80's along with Joe Flaherty. It was close to midnight and they had spent the week filming SCTV. They were nice, gracious and friendly even though it was obvious they were spent from the week's work. Truly classy people.
What a wonderful, heart warming interview
She is the definition of legend.
In your eyes, but not mine. Never seen her until this video.
I hadn’t seen this clip before. It was sad when Ms. O’Hara said, “One day soon, John will be doing all the great dramatic roles typical of the great Charles Laughton.” He passed away not too many years later, a tragic loss.
Love all in this clip - boy I am grateful growing up with these people on the TV/Movies - how lucky was I?
One of my all-time favorite movies!
This was great! Three of my all time favorites in one room. The conversation sounds like real people talking. Ally Sheedy was wonderful in this movie too!!!!
I LOVE Only the lonely, Mauren O'Hara, and John Candy.
I loved his warmth and sincerity in Planes, Trains and Automobiles but in Only the Lonely he just absolutely Shined so brightly. Sadly Missed
What a lovely thing to say. 🇬🇧👍
From back when late night TV was worth staying up for.
Preach!!
What a great interview. 3 national treasures that are sorely missed.
She is as classy and as beautiful as they come. I absolutely loved her movies with John Wayne.
Both these 2 are the definition of legends.
Entertainment that can't even come close today. Time sure can destroy wonderful things pause
They made such a wonderful pairing! Maureen genuinely loved John for the great talent he was!
NOW 85 I GOT TO ADMIRE BOTH OF THOSE STARS FROM DIFFERENT ERAS....DELIGHTFUL!!
How can you not love John Candy? Only ever heard good things about him, from stars to trades men working on his farm in Canada.
Love watching these old clips of Johnny conversing with stars from the past.
Maureen was a stunning beauty in The Quiet Man.Absolutely stunning.
I remember going to the theater when their movie came out and I HAD to see it! Not only for John Candy whom I loved but for Maureen O'hara whom I adored as I had seen so many of her movies. I remember thinking, as many people did at the time, how great it was that she agreed to come out of retirement to do this movie with John. They are both truly missed❤
I’ve never seen ‘Only The Lonely,’ but I must seek it out. Two of my favourite actors. I, like Johnny it seems, was in love with Maureen O’Hara when I first saw her on screen as a teenager.
Definitely check out the movie and do yourself a favor.
Maureen, such a treasure. Her many performances are a gift to us all. John, so talented and funny, left us too soon. His memory will go on for generations to come.
She was a beautiful woman and a class act. I can't think of anyone who could come close to filling her shoes these days.
Amen
Flew around the world twice in a sea plane. What a life. RiP to all. Best Era for movies I think.
Maureen O’Hara was fantastic in the original Parent trap with Haley Mills. She had such stunning red hair.
That is one of my all time favorite movies. She makes it so funny getting mad at Brian Keith. Hayley Mills was wonderful.
Amen
2 wonderful actors very much loved i also enjoyed the movie that john and maureen were in with ally sheely.i miss all 4 greatly.thank you johnny,ed,john and most lovely maureen.
I remember Maureen O’Hara’s movies. They were amazing. She was always elegant and classy. Then there is John Candy
I loved his under rated Uncle Buck, and Planes, Trains and Automobiles broke my heart
John Candy is an absolute legend. I love to watch his movies. He was such a good soul.
So much to talk about in this clip. I will choose one to say that Carson does not need to steal the show from his guests like the unwatchable garbage that are late shows today. He gave his guests the limellight and was incredibly respectful.
What a lovely, endearing woman Ms O'Hara was. John Candy was a versatile, talented, charming man. I always loved their movie Only the Lonely.
She played John Candy's mom in the movie and is very protective over him like a mom in this interview 😀. That was a good movie, the side story with Maureen and Anthony Quinn is worth seeing on its own.
That's a great clip. And Only the Lonely is a pretty good movie. They are both greatly missed.
As a kid I was absolutely in love with Maureen O'Hara. To this day I still think she's the most beautiful woman I've ever seen.
Please don't tell my wife.
it's very possible she may even be a distant relative of mine, O'Hara is a common name amongst my people, we both grew up Catholic and our origins are from Ireland, I wish I had a way to verify it for a fact but all I know is she checks all the boxes from what I can tell. amazing if she was indeed one of my people lol
@@jimmyc1518 sadly her real last name wasn't O'Hara
@@jimmyc1518 It's very easy to tell who your distant relatives are if you're Irish. It's a very small country and all our surnames can be traced back to specific counties.
For example, my last name is Farrell. The name originated in County Longford. I share a distant relation with actor Colin Farrell. My sister visited County Longford and the name is everywhere, from Farrell's hardware store, Farrell's Pub, Farrell's construction company, you name it. It's not only the most common name in the county, but my own grandfather told us himself where he's from.
Funnily enough, even though O'Hara isn't actually Maureen's real surname, look up famous actress Catherine O'Hara. Catherine and John Candy were fellow actors and friends in the famous Canadian comedy group called SCTV in the early eighties. Catherine and John go way back together.
So, do a little research on the internet. You can easily find the exact place where your ancestors are from. And the more you find out, the more you'll feel you owe it not only to yourself, but to them as well. It's important.
Cheers.
Do was every other warm blooded male.
Too late, Michael. Sorry to break it to you like this, but I have it on good authority your wife has contacted a divorce lawyer. And to make matters worse, she hasn't hired just any divorce lawyer, but famed, high powered, celebrity divorce lawyer Gloria Allred.
And even worse than that, Gloria is now in touch with the networks and it looks like your divorce will be broadcast on national television.
Again, Im very sorry.
That's some wonderful praise from an amazing woman for a brilliant Canadian
Without a doubt, Maureen O’Hara was the most beautiful woman in the world when she appeared in “How Green Was My Valley.” The trick with the veil that was devised by John Ford in the scene as she was leaving the church after her character’s wedding was a masterpiece.
So true! Even if I did not love that movie--and I do--the scenes of Maureen would have melted my heart.....
I was on the Turner Classic Movies cruise in 2013 and HGWMV was introduced by the late, great Jeopardy ! gameshow host, Alex Trebek. I had never seen the movie before. Alex said it was among his top 3-4 movie favorites; and it certainly became one of mine after seeing the stunning Maureen O'Hara in it !
@@ericthered760 John Ford tried to recreate the magic with “The Quiet Man”, but he couldn’t get the financing before WW2 when he went off filming documentaries for the US government. He finally got Republic to finance the project in 1951, and you can see a lot of the supporting actors from “How Green Was My Valley” along with Maureen O’Hara and John Wayne in the movie. Two of her brothers were also in the movie in the roles of the young priest and one of the young IRA members.
There’s a great DVD of “The Quiet Man” with Ms. O’Hara providing constant background commentary. A highlight is during an interview that is included on the DVD, when the interviewer asks Ms. O’Hara “wasn’t it a lot of fun to film the movie?” and she replied “It wasn’t for me because they were all drunk all the time.”
@@ericthered760 I fell in love with her at first sight.
Breaks my heart he only had 3 more years after this was broadcasted. His memory is truly a blessing for us all. 💜
I am crying as I'm watching this. What Maureen said about John being a great actor and predicting great roles for him, and then his life being cut short before that came to be...just way too sad for me. Comedic actors are overlooked, sometimes, as great actors because they aren't taken seriously. But John Candy was and incredible actor. He became the character and made it truly believable.
John Candy was a pleasure to watch.I miss him.
One of Candy's best performances was his criminally short part in JFK as Dean Andrews. If you want to see an early roll of Candy check out The Silent Partner. Starring Christopher Plummer, Eliot Gould and Susannah York .
Hi, " Silent Partner " is excellent.
I have “The Silent Partner” on VHS. A really good movie!
@@kato64 Yes, it is. " Beware of aquariums! " " Beware of Sleestak! "
shunttguy Candy got started on SCTV!!!!
@@michaelsalisbury1477 Yes, I know. He lived about 15 miles away from me.
Just, wow. A lot of class sitting together that night. 3 of the best.
Lovely people and she's just gorgeous 😍 John Candy was brilliant, so miss him, RIP❤️
There will definitely never be another John Candy. Uncle Buck, The Great Outdoors and Planes, Trains, and Automobiles are three of the greatest comedies of all time, plus all of the other smaller parts he had in other movies like home alone. He was the funniest person in every movie he was in. Even if it was for only five minutes.
Yes! I was just thinking the very same thing...wasn't he marvellous in every role he played 😊
Loved his part in the first "Vacation" movie...
Stripes!
