Loved her and still do and her great films esp "Guys and Dolls"! Found it interesting that she was the first one considered for "Roman Holiday" before Audrey Hepburn got the role, another great iconic actress and humanitarian! So many of the great actresses/actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood, one of my favorite eras, have passed on to the Other Side..miss them all! There will never be another great era like that for sure! Thanks for sharing~
Blimey ! THANK YOU so much for posting this ! Quite enjoyable ! I have always been a huge fan of the late great Jean Simmons. So beautiful, so classy and such a gifted actress ! CHEERS !! :-)
Doesn't our Jean girl look absolutely stunning in this sitting. I love the way her hair tilts to one side and frames her face. And those gorgeous naughty green-eyes are in full evidence here too. Wow! a real knockout!!!
On the age of vintage Channel there is a mini documentary about how Howard Hughes tried to make her life hell . Someone said it was because she didn't give in to his sexual advances and I believe this
So funny, discussing the Oscar's with my husband and mentioned hearing Guillermo Del Toro say part of his inspiration for "The Shape of Water" was "The Creature From the Black Lagoon" only I said "Blue" and remembered seeing the original Blue Lagoon movie with the lovely Jean Simmons. And, here I am watching this interview. She was blessed with beauty, brains, and kindness. Unfortunately she suffered from alcoholism, and was very open on this topic. She was one of those special women to grace the silver screen, like Audrey Hepburn. Those eyes...
She couldn't have been an alcoholic for very long because you don't see her having that ravaged look that they usually get especially if they are a woman . Maybe it was the problem she had with Howard Hughes that drove her to drink ... ... you can hear about in the video from the AGE OF of VINTAGE channel that just came out
A mini documentary was done recently on a channel called the AGE of VINTAGE and it was about her ; you might really enjoy it ... some very interesting stuff
That scene between Brando and Simmons at 5:25 was good. Simmons was the lead, and Brando was reacting to her, and they both played it well. Simmons played it right up to the edge without going overboard. This film, Candy, Teahouse of the August Moon and The Freshman show, under the right circumstances, that Brando could do comedy.
garrison 68 thank you for your comment Brando could do anything at all, I must say i love guys and dolls I think Sky Masterson was closer to him than heroes or tough guys
She could play the Vamp so well it was positively scary. Anytime I began to get to know someone and thought I was sending some Jean Simmons slipperiness, I couldn't run away fast enough.
As far as I know, there are no biographies written about Jean Simmons. Strange. She was one of the better "stars" of the 50s and 60s, and was featured in many well-made and popular films of the period. A classy lady, and was often the highlight of the movies she was in. R.I.P.
@@gardensofthegods Thanks! But, OMG! "Age of Vintage" appears to have "borrowed" much of his info from this earlier youtube video! th-cam.com/video/UVMYYMw8TUw/w-d-xo.html
Such a beautiful woman. I loved her in 'Guys and Dolls', alongside Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra . Pity I couldn't watch this , as I'm no fan of Gloria Hunniford, Cant stand her
Lovely chic hairstyle now extinct...today?....universal long blond-died hair; multi-coloured endless streaks; portcullis fringes.....did I mention long, long hair? Jean...you would have stood out in any crowd today...
Such a lovely lady who never lost her English accent. The interviewer must have used 2 cans of hairspray on her head. Does the wig stand on its own in her dressing room?
Jean Simmons spoke with the so-called mid-Atlantic accent in her American movies. In "Guys and Dolls," her character Sarah Brown was supposed to be a native of Boston, MA.
Talks, but says so little! Would have loved stories about Ustinov, Stewart Grainger, Brando...There must have been plenty to talk about about but she's so boringly SAFE.
Well she must have lied about Howard Hughes or somebody did because someone said Howard Hughes made sexual advances towards her which she repelled and I just watched a mini documentary on the AGE of VINTAGE Channel talking about why she couldn't stand Howard Hughes and the problems she had with him ...and it was actually very good and talks about who were some of the actors who were her Heroes .
Marina Kaye... yes, says so little, and everything is nice, nicely. l can see she is acting a part... that what alcoholism does to one...because she must play it safe to keep on working, keep on acting. She 's acting coy!! The interviewer seems to know more.
Jean Simmons R.I.P. One of the screens loveliest Actresses.
Jean was absolutely stunning and beautiful in Spartacus. A great actress as well.
Such a quality actress. Sensual screen presence. A natural...

she was so beautiful in GREAT EXPECTATIONS

Imagine and she still kept her clothes on... not many can do that now!!
@@antoniospanayiotou8619 So very true ! I certainly have a notion to second THAT emotion ! Thank you very much for your follow up comment ! :-)
Nothing in the description says what year this was ... looks like early to mid 80s
Thank you for posting this. She is beautiful and very talented. Loved her in Spartacus.

Loved the interview showing the human-side of Jean Simmons.
Such a stunning beauty. Thanks for this post, a treasure.
You might want to go to a channel here called the Age of Vintage and they did a mini documentary on her
Beautiful, elegant lady...
I agree 100 per cent ! I just wish it has been longer so they could have discussed more of her films (The Robe, Elmer Gantry, etc) !!
Jean Simmons was such an attractive looking lady and had such a lovely voice
I have a notion to second that emotion !!
On the age of vintage Channel there is a mini documentary about how Howard Hughes tried to make her life hell .
Someone said it was because she didn't give in to his sexual advances and I believe this
Wow that voice is like velvet...
What a wonderful voice. How could you not love her?
Lovely and gracious lady and an absolutely great actress. She deserved at least an Oscar nomination for Elmer Gantry and Home After Dark.

Well said and well put ! THANK YOU for a very perceptive & insightful comment !
She couldn't have been an alcoholic for very long because you don't see her having that ravaged look that they usually get especially if they are a woman .
Maybe it was the problem she had with Howard Hughes that drove her to drink ...
... you can hear about in the video from the AGE OF of VINTAGE channel that just came out
The best looking woman to grace the planet earth,gods gift to mankind.
Also Tuesday Weld
She was no Marie Dressler, but yes, she was indeed one lovely lass !!
She's not even as good looking as the interviewer
she drives me crazy, I adore her too much
Jean Simmons was wonderful in "Great Expectations"
She and Audrey Hepburn belong in the same class of elegance and charm.
And Grace Kelly
Peccato che attrici così brave e belle non ne nascano più
Veramente un colosso nel mondo del Cinema che conta!
Quelle di oggi fanno solo pena.
Great interview. Thank you 👍👋🎬🎥🇬🇧
A mini documentary was done recently on a channel called the AGE of VINTAGE and it was about her ; you might really enjoy it ... some very interesting stuff
@@gardensofthegods thank you friend, very thoughtful of you. 👍
"Angel Face"!! And of course, the 2 parter she did on "Murder She Wrote".
Even today, British interviewers seem so respectful of their guests.
My first crush in The Blue Lagoon ..Beautiful lady .
That first clip was certainly the time to travel, when countries were different.
I loved her.R.I.P. Jean.👏👏👏👏

garrison 68 thank you for your comment Brando could do anything at all, I must say i love guys and dolls I think Sky Masterson was closer to him than heroes or tough guys
@mariecohen3052 I loved him as Skye Masterson . My favourite Marlon Brandon part, where he was so good looking, charming and funny
Great actress… never put a foot wrong
one of the most underrated legends. Watching Footsteps in the Fog as I type. Fantastic film, brilliant actress.
She could play the Vamp so well it was positively scary. Anytime I began to get to know someone and thought I was sending some Jean Simmons slipperiness, I couldn't run away fast enough.
I loved Jean Simmons ever since I watched "Thorn Birds". Extraordinary actress and a classy lady.
She was in a lot of great movies before that
I love Gloria … all the way in the United States. But she looks beautiful in this clip as she is today.

There is a mini-documentary about her on the channel called the AGE of VINTAGE which gave some really interesting info about Jean Simmons .

the closest to the perfect woman,
❤ this, this is superb use TH-cam 👏👌 'the robe'!!!!
Wonderful voice.
Jean is a London girl, just like me. How beautiful she was.......and soooooo classy.
I discovered Jean in Spartacus.
I today discovered her in The Robe.
@@larryhuff2811 when I was a little girl watching the old movies on my parents TV I think the first thing I ever saw her in was THE ROBE .
I discovered her in Angel Face.
Such a beautiful woman. I loved her in 'Guys and Dolls', alongside Marlon Brando and Frank Sinatra . Pity I couldn't watch this , as I'm no fan of Gloria Hunniford, Cant stand her
Her manner of speech reminds me so much of Judi Dench.
she had a drink problem very sad,,,, great actress
Lovely chic hairstyle now extinct...today?....universal long blond-died hair; multi-coloured endless streaks; portcullis fringes.....did I mention long, long hair? Jean...you would have stood out in any crowd today...
I’m actually here because of mysteries of the bible of all things
I enjoyed the interview. I wonder what year it was filmed? Jean was a special actress and a lovely woman. Thanks for sharing this.
1985
1955
She seams to me a to intelligent woman for all the rolls she play
When was this interview?
Someone said it was 1985
Why she divorced Stewart granger?
Because he was well known as one of the most arrogant jerks in Hollywood (and he had stiff competition for that accolade)
Wasn't he quite alot older than her?
Q guapa
:))))) desiree
To all of you saying Jean was so attractive, I say she's not even as attractive as the interviewer
It’s almost like she’s older than the interviewer.
I HATE YOU.
Such a lovely lady who never lost her English accent. The interviewer must have used 2 cans of hairspray on her head. Does the wig stand on its own in her dressing room?
don't be like that, Gloria Hunniford is fantastic. Lost her daughter to breast cancer. Went through a terrible time.
Jean Simmons spoke with the so-called mid-Atlantic accent in her American movies. In "Guys and Dolls," her character Sarah Brown was supposed to be a native of Boston, MA.
She just got Lucky case closed
I don't know what you mean
Talks, but says so little! Would have loved stories about Ustinov, Stewart Grainger, Brando...There must have been plenty to talk about about but she's so boringly SAFE.
Marina Kaye, it’s called being classy.
@@guinnesstrail Here here !
I agree. She should be spilling the beans on Sinatra v Brando
Well she must have lied about Howard Hughes or somebody did because someone said Howard Hughes made sexual advances towards her which she repelled and I just watched a mini documentary on the AGE of VINTAGE Channel talking about why she couldn't stand Howard Hughes and the problems she had with him ...and it was actually very good and talks about who were some of the actors who were her Heroes .
Marina Kaye... yes, says so little, and everything is nice, nicely. l can see she is acting a part... that what alcoholism does to one...because she must play it safe to keep on working, keep on acting.
She 's acting coy!! The interviewer seems to know more.
That ain't the gene Simmons I know of the Jean Simmons I know is heavy metal playing maniac who paints his face and rocks the whole place to pieces
Right but before he came along you had this actress
