- She claimed that her love life "rivaled Marilyn Monroe's". Shirley had affairs with the best.....Errol Flynn was the best smelling, Clark Gable did not have bad breath and her stay at Boston's Ritz Carleton with married Burt Lancaster was so romantic.
As the Associated Press reported, "During her 50 years as a widely known personality, Winters was rarely out of the news. Her stormy marriages, her romances with famous stars, her forays into politics, and feminist causes kept her name before the public. She delighted in giving provocative interviews and seemed to have an opinion on everything." That led to a second career as a writer. Though not a conventional beauty, she claimed that her acting, wit, and "chutzpah" gave her a love life to rival Monroe's. Her alleged "conquests" included William Holden, Sean Connery, Burt Lancaster, Errol Flynn, and Marlon Brando.
Shelley had three husbands and hours before her death, Winters married long-time companion Gerry DeFord, with whom she had lived for 19 years. Though Winters' daughter objected to the marriage, the actress Sally Kirkland performed the wedding ceremony for the two at Winters' deathbed.
Shelley Winters was an American actress whose career spanned five decades. She appeared in numerous films, and won Academy Awards for The Diary of Anne Frank (1959) and A Patch of Blue (1965), and received nominations for A Place in the Sun (1951) and The Poseidon Adventure (1972). Other roles Winters appeared in include A Double Life (1947), The Night of the Hunter (1955), Lolita (1962), Alfie (1966), and Pete's Dragon (1977).
In addition to film, Winters also appeared in television, including a years-long tenure on the sitcom Roseanne, and also authored three autobiographical books.

There’s a great story about Shelley Winters late in her career being asked to “audition“ for a particular role. She showed up for the audition and calmly placed her Oscars on the casting agent’s desk... and that was the end of it.
That is a GREAT story. That's something I have always loved about her, she doesn't take much unnecessary crap from folks.
She’s a Leo woman
💟
I doubt it. Late in her career, everyone knew who she was, what she could do, and that she had two Oscars. No need to tote her statues around.
@@akrenwinkle She was called in to audition. That's why she brought them.
Shelly was a woman comfortable in her skin; she lived life without a script. ❤
she seems to embellish a lot. she was never hot enough to attract all these iconic men.
@@en6278 It’s not all about being hot that made her attractive, or any woman attractive to men. She was charming, witty and sexy in her own way.
@@katesleuth1156 and full of shit
She was hot enough in her youth. Sultry looking with a girl next door personality. That’s all it takes for most men.
I went from being a student in one of her classes at the Actors Studio to being a friend. She was always supportive of me and my work as an actor. I'll always have great memories of Shelley, but in spite of her encouragement and belief in ,my talent, the best thing I ever did with my life was getting out of that business. And, trust me, many a star wishes they'd done the same before becoming a victim of its trappings.
RIP Clark Gable (February 1, 1901 - November 16, 1960), aged 59
RIP Errol Flynn (June 20, 1909 - October 14, 1959), aged 50
RIP Shelley Winters (August 18, 1920 - January 14, 2006), aged 85
RIP Marlon Brando (April 3, 1924 - July 1, 2004), aged 80
You will be remembered as legends.
A kind hearted woman. Known to take unknowns under her wing.
Shelly was always a good interview, always ready to dish and self effacing about herself. Fine actress as well.
I
Excellent actress.
Thanks for sharing this interview. I'm so happy to learn that Clark Gable DIDN'T suffer from bad breath, which I've always heard. This interview made me laugh and smile. Thanks again.
Maybe to some people he did have bad breath.
Liane Layman everyone on earth has had bad breath
He had after eating spaghetti :)
YorkiesLove It’s a well documented fact that Gable had halitosis which is a gum disease that causes bad breath. Many of his co-star actresses and even his third wife Carole Lombard stated about he had bad breath. He was also a hard chain smoker and was an alcoholic which didn’t help with the halitosis breath. But in his films his fans would never know. Ah, the allure of the magic of fantasy of Hollywood. LOL.
I have never read anywhere that Vivien Leigh had early-onset Alzheimer's Disease. I have read that she was alternately diagnosed with schizophrenia and bi-polar disorder, depending on the doctor. Possibly she had both, we will never know. She had one doctor that she trusted, who really helped her (Alex Conachy.) She was briefly hospitalized after her breakdown in 1953. The best biography I have read about her is "Vivien Leigh" by Hugo Vickers. I wouldn't believe anything written by Darwin Porter.
One of the genuinely nice people in Hollywood. Loved her fans.
It’s easy to see why men found her so attractive. Great lady!
Shelley was a wonderful raconteur, so warm and engaging. I loved her books. A real favourite. John Sivorn UK
I worked for Shelly as a Bodyguard in the 80's. She took me to Spagos once for a steak dinner on my birthday. She had an ice cream sundae . She gave me an Old Armani suit that once belonged to Earnest Borgnine. To quell our boredom she gave me acting lessons. We practiced love scenes. She use to love to pretend she was Marilyn Monroe and sing Happy Birthday Mr. President. I am shure she wrote about me in one of her books.
Great memories for you and thanks for sharing. Makes you realize they are just like the rest of us, right? Bet she had a good sense of humor too.
He was a quite a portly man.
She seems like a riot to be around.
Nick Long, her best movie was Poseidon Adventure.
Great story, Nick.
I love her candor. This was a woman who came way before her time.
That's what she said...
@@ontologicallysteve7765 LOL
Oh my goodness
Thank you so much for the interview with Shelley Winters.
I have always loved her and her work.
Shelly Winters was a great actress & smart, sexy & full of life, I miss actress like her because she could hold your attention. I have always admired her spirit!!!
name one picture she was such a great actor in
@@jadezee6316 So many, including A Place In The Sun, The Diary of Anne Frank.....
True. She was also memorable in Poseidon adventure.
@@athena7042 She was great in a "Patch of Blue" too.
@@jadezee6316 I think you have been "ganged up" on buddy kooks as if Shelley put out some good work in her movies!
She once spoke at UCLA and I rode up in the elevator with her to the lecture hall and SHE was the best smelling person I have ever smelled and she gave me a nice smile and said "hello."
So glad you shared that!🌞
How cool. That's a neat detail to know.
She is very honest here
What i loved about Shelley is that she was real and down to earth with how she spoke in interviews. She never sounded like a put on and just gave it to ya straight. No arrogance with her at all, just a raw and to the point answer. Loved her. They don't make'em like her anymore. R.I.P.
Side note: The male interviewer SUCKED ASS on this one. The Tom Snyder interviews were great and also the Merv Griffin. I recommend those instead.
Yes he was horrible.
I've not seen those yet but yeah this guy is a tool
This interviewer thinks the interview is all about him. Rip, Shelley, just love her!
I have always liked her. She is Hollywood royalty!
More like Hollywood peasant. Shelley was not just down to earth, she was down right common and slovenly.
@@michaelreilly3513 She was beautiful and a real actress.
@@wandafunderberg1290 I was not being critical just stating what I think the 'shelley' drag was a depiction of.
Shelly Winters was one of my favorite actors when I was a child. I loved her acting. She was phenomenal. I love her honesty and candor. What a Gem she was.
I worked on a womans TV show in the lowest position but saw EVERY celebrity ( tonight show was across the hall so also saw them there too) I personally left out of the control booth to stand next to her. I had never done this with any other famous person. Throughout the years I've listened to her interviews on all the talk shows and knew at one time she roomed with Marilyn Monroe. I like the fact that although she no longer got starlet roles and became obese that didn't stop her from continuing her less glamorous acting roles. She is real. When I went up to her I was shocked at how luminous her face looked. She was almost 70.
I love her stories about Marlon Brando
This interview, was a master piece! I loved Shelley Winters acting and she was so much fun! I have to get her book! 👍🎬👍
heres a guy that loves winters ..loves her cause she was such fun..but cant bring himself to read her books....the person you love must really be a lucky....fool
Nice to hear her defend Errol Flynn against those bogus charges. Great interview.
Love to hear actors talking about their favorite subject.
Themselves?
Its sad to think she's gone now. RIP Shelly.
And your point is Durins? If I choose to admire an actress or actor its my business.
She's telling stories in heaven.
Shelley was perfectly adorable in this vid, lovely naturally funny and wonderful.
and totally enthusiastic about sharing her memories with them
Shelly was a good looking girl in her younger days.
I disagree. Even then she was a hog.
Her and Marilyn Monroe were roommates in the beginning of their careers
SHE and MM...
On this "bad breath" thing. As an actor, I've been on many movie sets. And the most common thing on the craft service table is... COFFEE. First, you're up at 5AM every day, after an exhausting day of shooting, and there are many hours that you simply do nothing but WAIT. So you consume lots and lots of coffee. And guess what one of the most common sources of bad breath is?? You guessed it... coffee. That's why I think this complaint is pretty stupid.
Coffee breath is bad breath. I read that in Gone With The Wind Clark would eat raw onions on his sandwiches and Vivian Leigh got to kiss onion breath.
tiffsaver He ate onion sandwiches, drank coffee and smoked - what a combo!
Could listen to her all day. She seems to have something to say about everything
That's the telltale sign of a BS artist.
She made me nervous listening to the way she rambled. My anxiety went through the roof. That being said.
She led a fascinating life. She just goes on and on. Like the comment above that she’s a BS artist/actor/actress…same thing. Full of it and way confident. That’s what it takes to be in Hollywood.
Every single Shelley Winters interview is always fun and salacious. She was one of the best!
Thanks for adding this, it's always great to see Shelley winters interviews, I'm a Huge fan. X
Amen, Shelley Winters was a superb actress and a fabulous woman. A real one-off who was a sparkling reconteur. They just don't make stars - or women - like that any more!
Jerry Reboletto your a bitter nobody. Who clearly has nothing important to say.!!!
Alan Conway - exactly, this tragic little loser Jerry wouldn't know talent if it bit his saggy ass! Don't feed the troll.
I wonder what year this is. Now that I've watched the entire clip - it's obviously 1981. She's promoting her book. She doesn't mention it here but she once lived with Marilyn Monroe in a small apartment that is still there to this day!
I read this book when it came out - it was the first of all the hollywood bio books that I read.
This is the way Shelley looked in the early 80's when I saw her at Duke's Coffee Shop once, where Shelley ate breakfast frequently, a friend of mine ate there frequently also. I didn't say anything to Shelley, It's not polite to bother people eating. Duke's is long gone.
Love + miss her. That was a great book too.
I must track down a copy of Shelley's book, what a life she had, fabulous and exciting just like her! She was a woman ahead of her time in so many ways - she lived as she wanted to and wouldn't be dictated to about morals by the controlling misogynist studios or the media. On her deathbed, I doubt there was a single regret or missed opportunity. I only wish her friend and former flatmate Marilyn Monroe had lived to old age with her - what fun those two would have had as retired actresses touring the chat show scene and partying together! They could have shared an apartment again - a huge and luxurious Beverly Hills one of course - and been like a va va voom version of The Golden Girls!
I love the way she talks¡ no Hollywood star of today talks that way.
I really liked her, she just seems so down to earth, Rest In Peace Honey! 💕✌🏻🇺🇸
Her book is amongst the best of all American autobiography. A great look into the old Hollywood star system. Funny, wonderful stories. And for those who know her only as an overweight talk show guest in the 70s... This gal was the greatest character actress of her generation. Of a couple generations. And hey, she is in the best filmed drama of all time, A Place in the Sun. Also I have to add, a great acting teacher at The Actors Studio. One of a handful of folks who knew Strasberg’s system down oat and could convey it. Super high IQ.
Especially the stories about Marlon Brando
She was such a beautiful, genuine person!! Love her💖💖💖
YOU ALWAYS TELL THE TRUTH.
A great actress! I always loved her. So many people have put her down. So she talks alot in an interview. So she slept with many men! Show some respect for her as an individual.
"Welcome to the club", I'd say! I totally love her as an actress! Great in everything she was in! She was very attractive as well!
It's sad when people brag about committing adultry and everyone thinks it's romantic and wonderful.
You are right that's why in Islam it's not allowed to have sex before marriage. It's prohibited and considered sin whoever does that no matter whether you call it romance or wherever it is considered as adultery. I hope you study about Islam. May Allah guide you dear brother/sister
@@Quranly Your religion is all about abusing & punishing women. Horrible religion.
Then you don’t have to watch it and judge.
But we LOVE to hear about their exciting affairs.
@@stevetaylor3008 That’s creepy.
My favourite Old hollywood actress EVER. She would have been the GREATEST Auntie in the UNIVERSE. Her niece and nephews are very lucky.. She's also the spitting image of my Auntie Maureen. R.I.P
I wonder if she's really being honest. She may think that she's being honest, but I wonder.
first name thomas?
She's a very interesting and talented woman
Ms Winters was one hot looking woman in 'Larceny' which I watched last night on UTube.
While viewing I could only imagine how she slept her way to the top in Hollywood. She looked like a man 'pleaser' for sure.
Regardless, she was a fine actress.
Shelley Winters took the whip from Kirk Douglas. “Here's how we
do it in Albuquerque,” Shelly screamed as she whipped the shit out
of Michael. “There, you little shit! 'At'll learn you not to mouth off
in front of Aunt Shirley!” Michael cried, “I didn't mean it Shirley!”
Shirley Winters was amazing in this interview!! She sounded tired though!! 🗽💛⚜🗝💄🎶🎵🎼🎻🎺🎷🎙🎸☀️💠🧭🔭😎🧬🍾😇🤠🥳🎤🎹💠🥁🍾
Her given name was Shirley Schrift. Her Hollywood name was Shelley Winters.
Gotta love Shelly Winters!
love her!
See how natural she is? That’s because she was a true actor. She was herself in person, and whatever character on the stage and screen. No pretence. No bullshit.
lol...you must enjoy being bullshit...cause winters is making up most of her ahh..romances
My god! That guy is an appalling interviewer. How did he ever get a 'career' in television?
Steve Cox Agreed! He interrupted right when Shelley was mentioning Brando and changed the subject before she was finished. Why would he do that? I wanted to hear what she had to say.
I agree too. Male interviewer is awful.
He was a male, and that was enough in those days.
She was terrific on talk shows & I loved her books and acting!!!!! ☮️💟
It's always a compliment, when someone says I remind them of her...I liked her.
and we have a lot in common, I'm an actress and authored 3 books that I am trying to have published. (I Live in hope)..and when it comes to men........I know what she meant.....and can't say it here.
Obviously there’s a problem with the audio, but it’s worth the effort listening to it.
I thought both interviewers were just fine.
Why aren’t there stars like her anymore?
For somebody who cut her teeth in the thick of the studio system at its post-zenith-but-still-high water-mark I love how open and unashamed and honest Shelley was.
She is the OG representation/construct of “owning your s**t,” or “living in the light of your truth” so nobody else can weaponize or use it against you. All the worst or most controversial things said about Shelley were probably put out there by the woman herself first.
Even if she had only ever made A Place in the Sun and quietly faded off, she’d still be interesting. But surviving almost sixty years (or roughly three quarters of the existence of film up to her passing) of reinvention and relevance is a feat. Like the least important thing she did was guest star on a number one rated television show at her leisure.
Icon. ❤️
Now here is an actress (after all the Charlie's Angels fuss).
Shelley never had an affair with Clark Gable, she and Yvonne De Carlo had one weekend with Burt Lancaster and Gable, when they were both young starlets.
Shelley took Burt and De Carlo had Gable.
Carol Bradshaw U were there? smh
She wrote that she and Yvonne De Carlo went to Errol Flynn's house for a dinner party on a weekend night and Clark Gable was also there, making it a foursome. Shelley wound up with Flynn and Yvonne paired off with Gable. Shelley claimed that during the evening a doctor arrived and implanted a pill in a small incision into the backs of each of the men. No doctor was ever able to explain this to her, but maybe he was a lesser known Doctor Feelgood (Max Jacobson). Yvonne De Carlo claimed, in her own memoir published several years later, that this evening never happened. Whatever the true story, it made a good yarn.
lemorab1 wow never heard anything about DeCarlo's love life, would definitely like to read that, she was unbelievably beautiful .
Yvonne De Carlo had it all. I could never understand why she wasn't a bigger star. She was as beautiful as Ava Gardner, she could actually act (see "Criss Cross") and she could sing and dance. Yvonne describes a brief affair with Burt Lancaster. In her memoir, "Shelley Also Known As Shirley," Shelley Winters describes an anguished love affair with a very married Burt Lancaster in what seems to be the late 1940's (they went to see Mary Martin in South Pacific on Broadway.) Winters knew how to spin a yarn and her book is a fun read. Both De Carlo and Winters had very rough childhoods. I believed De Carlo's descriptions of her romances more than I believed Shelley's.
lemorab1 she was in the conversation in my opinion as the most beautiful woman in the business at her time, easily top ten. Top 3 in my mind. Winters was a dish herself especially early on and even into the 60's and early 70's, very curvy full figured woman .
You can’t dislike Shirley Winters, she is right on the edge, that emotion makes her so good in angry or crying women films. Listening to her and thinking about interviewing her has got to be a bit scary, you can hear a cry in her voice. If you’ve seen many of her films you recognize it. I think she had had a very good nose job. Her nose is too perfect bobbed and too narrow for her face, but it looks incredible, good surgeon
Shelley Winters was her Hollywood name. However, her given name was Shirley Schrift.
what is the date of this interview?
Thank you so much !!
she is beautiful !!
愛に満ちた幸せな人ですね。
出来るなら、私はシェリーウインタースになりたい!!
Love Shelley as an actress, but even when she was young and thin, she was not altogether that beautiful. It eludes me how all these actors, some of them very handsome, were so attracted to her.
Because at one time she oozed sex!
If you call spreading your legs for anyone oozing sex, then she was oozing allright!
I guess you're right!
Some men just want sex with anyone - they are not in love it just in lust!
Because she was funny, naughty, not needy or annoying, so she became more beautiful ;)
They don't make em like this anymore!
Are there any People Alive who could be like Romeo and Juliet and die without each other ?
You sound like you miss her! I’m so glad you met her!
I liked Shelly winters but she was one naughty lady in Hollywood going to bed with all those men. They say when she was real young she was a looker. I say she was naughty. But good actress.
The industry painted a veneer of propriety, while the reality was a LOT more drug, booze and sex-fueled than one could imagine. Shelley, Marilyn and a few others were aggressors in their relationships.
Of all the actresses of that generation of Hollywood, Shelley Winters is the actress that I would have most liked to have worked with.
why?....i cant think of a single picture she alone made better...
Shelley is adorable!
She really is!
She was wild 🥳
She’s great.
YES STORIES!!!!!!!
She very honest.. why did they say clark had bad breathe when he didnt Shelley says he smelled really nice .. so i would of let him kiss me if i had been his leading lady !! Stunning man,shes very open about the men she met and dated ,intresting lady and life...
So basically her and Marlon Brando were friends with benefits
I never liked how she always had to be the center of attention. She would monopolize talk shows and fight with people who told her to be quiet so they can say something.
because she is a low class woman..most of her stories are made up...
She was drunk on the Tonight Show and she was a horror to Oliver Reed. Poured a cocktail on his head. Lol 😂
If brando bummed this hes gone down a notch in my estimations. Oliver Reid wouldn't have stooped that low thats for damn sure.
This is an old interview. Probably from the 1980s. She was born in 1920. If she were still alive she would be 98 this year.
Any idea who the interviewers are, or what show? I don't recognize them at all.
The boat “anchor” on the set was trying to figure out why he couldn’t get any gigs as a news anchor in a western. 🤦🏻♂️
She was a brilliant actor and was neautiful and had a fantastic personality.
A great era of 📺
She's a delight. I miss her. 🤗
Such a wonderful lady.
The diff. between the so called stars today and those in the past.
I always reember a scene in one of Shelley's films. Her husband or partner was in a hotel room with a loverI. Iuaghed a lot alsobecause I am a lot like her insuch situations. She stands in front of the door of the d oor with a revolver but then has a book she books at about "How to shoot." I always enjoyed Shelley in the films in which she played a role.
She didn't say anything about Brando or Gable here. 😠
So sad for her.
She’s so Awesome.
What is this from and when?
Shelley was what my mom would have called a "good time girl."
So she slept with a lot of men, nobody got hurt.
Liane Layman Nobody got hurt? Really? I’m sure their spouses loved it when found out.
Erroll flynn had huge contagious genital warts.
No mention of her torrid affair with Oliver Reed I see.
Winters was Jewish. Gable was uncircumcised, and often did not wash himself carefully "down there." Burt Lancaster too had foreskin, but she may have forgiven that because he washed himself carefully.
this was actually painful to listen to....cringeworthy.She pursued married men
TheTourmaline57 - I am sure the married men were chasing HER. Blame the married men, not the single girl.
TheTourmaline57 get real. Life isn’t a children’s book
I love Shelley!!!
actually the grand concourse in the Bronx was modeled after the Champs Elysees so she isn't wrong about Paris reminding her of the Grand Concourse.
Daze with Jordan the Lion.........
He loved her, and they were great friends too. :)
I never knew Shelley Winters was Jewish, and active within her community. Fun facts.
Her speech is so funny did she have her stroke around this time??? I’m not sure on the time
Was she jewish
Yes
Why is it in mono?
