Loving me some Russ Tamblyn❤❤❤❤!!!
One of the truly great underappreciated Hollywood performers.

Agree 100%!
You can say that again friend.
He is truly one of the greatest and most versatile actors who ever lived. Sing dance act athletics grace.
In the 1961 film West Side Story, in the opening "Jets" number, Russ as Riff did awesomely acrobatic swings down from high bars to the hard NYC pavement. Oscar worthy performance, categorically.
I will never forget Russ Tamblyn showing up in Django Unchained. As a Black kid who grew up on Hollywood musicals, it was really a treat! 😂
Nice recovery on the John Barrymore story. He was an alcoholic but still an icon and legend. Mr Tamblyn deserves huge recognition for his contribution in film. He’s a phenomenal dancer. One of the greatest scenes ever is in Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.

I really enjoyed this interview. One would never guess he's 88 years old! He seems to have worked hard, but followed his bliss (w/a few connections). And that he's in such great shape mentally, says a lot. I admire that. Can't wait to read his book!

I agree. He is much more vibrant than a lot of people twenty years younger than he is. Both physically and mentally!
You ARE a dancer ! Many artists ( instrumental,singing,dancing,on canvas,etc…)who have had no formal training and it doesn’t make them any less of an artist. 😊
There's such an unspoiled sweetness and gentleness that emanates from Mr. Tamblyn.
Spielberg should've created roles for both him and George Chakaris in the new West Side Story.
Hi where can one get tcm. Is it on any smart tv? I use LG
@@bOmBAsTiK where can I find Hollywood extras
Chakaris is almost 90 years old.
@@yvonneplant9434 And Rita Moreno is even older, yet he cast her, so what?
@@bOmBAsTiK Right
One of his films, Tom Thumb, had genius in camera effects to create small characters. Peter Sellers and Terry Thomas were also in it. The work was so good the dumb academy didn't know what was happening, and it got no nomination for visual effects. Disney Genius.
How do you not love this guy.....!?,...can't wait till his book comes out.
Russ was excellent in the movie West Side Story, and in the movie The Haunting.🌟
Russ Tamblyn portrayed Norman Page in the drama Peyton Place (1957), for which he earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Supporting Actor. He is now 88 years old.
I was lucky enough to be in the room for this and it was just captivating. Mr. Tamblyn had us all hanging on every word!
Love, Love and Grateful to have been a Fan since the 50's of Russ Tamblyn❤😊
Love love Thank you 4 intrrview of Russ Tamblyn. Blessings to Russ❤😊
Great to see this! I saw West Side Story for the first time a few years ago and became an instant fan of Tamblyn's. I've tried to watch all of his "classic Hollywood" roles since then, especially the dancing ones.
Definitely watch seven brides for seven brothers
Great interview. I was hoping they would discuss his later 1960s works, such as the "The Haunting" (with his own ghost story), Toho's "War of the Gargantuas" and how he almost got the part of Gilligan in "Gilligan's Island", but I am sure that will ALL be in the autobiography.
1:30 The Fastest Gun Alive (1956) - Trailer th-cam.com/video/UsWyDTWuJaQ/w-d-xo.html
Yes, I was hoping that The Haunting would be brought up to. Another Robert Wise film. Not as popular perhaps as West Side Story, but a classic film, in it's own right. Russ was so impressive in it as Luke, the skeptical playboy. Great interview overall though. 👍
I remember him from 'Father of the Bride' to 'West Side Story'. Then I lose him. My favorite was 'Seven Brides for Seven Brothers', which I saw multiple times in 1954. He certainly has remained fit.
Michael Landon also, starred in "High School Confidential" (1958)....He portrayed Steve Bentley. Russ Tamblyn though, was Awesome in "West Side Story"(1961).
I never heard of the Shovel dance but I just watched it and it is amazing. But I can't seem to find the photo with his wife where he appears upside down.
I've been a Russ Tamblin fan since I was a young girl in the mid 70's, I can't pick a favorite film of his. There is something in each film that has a special moment...can't pick.
I just became a fan of Ben (today). I know he has been on TCM for quite a few years now, but this interview his personality really popped out to me! Fantastic interview, excellent questions, but I love his little, kind of a funny smart a$$ side, lOl! It wasn't real strong, & he wasn't being a jerk, but just enough to make me like his style!!! I never noticed it before!!!
Thank for the great interview guys, nicely done!!! 👍👍

Agree. Ben picked up nicely after the late, great Robert Osborne.
Russ Tamblyn is amazing. What a talent!
You must like him in the movie "The Haunting"
@@AngloSaxon-yx8tk
I don't care for scary movies.
@@karenleemallonee684: Well if you get a chance to see the original version of The Haunting I'm sure you will like Russ Tamblyn's performance in it. However, you may not care for scary movies but that one although it's scary it's also educational in various aspects between unscientific belief and reality.
What a legend!

Russ is 88!??? That's remarkable. He looks real good and is quite eloquent. I've always enjoyed his work. He and the late, great Dean Stockwell seemed to be two child actors who really kept their shit together, through the years. I'm looking forward to Russ' book. Great job by Mankowitz. 😎👍

@@yvonneplant9434 Yeah the Elizabeth Taylor/Spencer Tracy version, when he was still known as "Rusty" Tamblyn.
LovecLove Russ Tamblyn..❤😊
Just rewatched the Barn Dance from 7 Brides for 7 Brothers - all the reasons Tinder sux

I ❤ Russ!
1:30 The Fastest Gun Alive (1956) - Trailer th-cam.com/video/UsWyDTWuJaQ/w-d-xo.html
TOM THUMB CLASSIC!!❤😊
SO many stories about Glenn Ford being a dick! He was! I worked on the first Superman movie (when he played Pa Kent). In the entire cast, Ford was the ONLY asshole!
Shirley Jones “Courtship of Eddies Father” really disliked him
I always liked the TV show "Courtship of Eddie's father", so when I saw the movie version pop up, I was like "oh, this should be great." I hated that movie because the vibe was really off, despite little Opey and Shirley Jones. Now I know why the dynamics seemed off. It did seem that everyone was too angry a lot of the time.
88 years old? Damn he looks great! And probably with no plastic surgery. ULTRA talented. His entire interview enjoyable until his last remark. Look, instead of a shampoo, he's been brainwashed. Just kidding, Russ.
Fantastic!
He’s the entire reason I love musicals. I will always love him.
yay Russ's book is finally being released, remember hearing about it from his wife Bonnie about 15 years ago but he wanted to get it perfect, looks like the Bobby Driscoll tribute chapter is still in there
Wish they had edited in more clips of Russ
I thought he was really good in Kidnapped with Peter Finch
Just ordered his book thankyou russ your so amazing all my ❤❤❤❤ 6:47
I love the interviews but when you're talking to these folks who are now in their nineties. It's hard to get them to tell a story quickly and it takes a lot of time. And Ben wasn't as polished as he usually is so for me. It's just kind of frustrating to get these two people to ask a question and answer a question and move on. But that certainly was an interesting story about charles manson and russ is very lucky he got out of that alive.
These figures from classic Hollywood are national treasures. Lots of people love to hear anything they have to say. They are worth the time.
He's wearing sandals with socks. What a dag.
Don't like the weird commentator saying stupid stuff to Russ...sarcasm doesn't belong in a live interview.
His feet must be shot wearing socks and sandals
Is that Liam Neeson
Jack Frost is the best!!!
Nice interview. I always enjoyed Russ Tamblyn, his comment on Donald Trump was uncalled for, just goes to show you the UNFORTUNATE FOOLS IN HOLLYWOOD,
1:30 The Fastest Gun Alive (1956) - Trailer th-cam.com/video/UsWyDTWuJaQ/w-d-xo.html
Former White House chief of staff, retired Marine Gen. John Kelly, said, "President Trump is the most flawed person I've ever known. The depths of his dishonesty is just astounding to me. The dishonesty, the transactional nature of every relationship, though it's more pathetic than anything else. He is the most flawed person I have ever met in my life," Gary Cohn, Trump's chief economic advisor, said, "It's worse than you can imagine. An idiot surrounded by clowns. Trump won't read anything--not one-page memos, not the brief policy papers; nothing. He gets up halfway through meetings with world leaders because he is bored. And his staff is no better. Kushner is an entitled baby who knows nothing. Bannon is an arrogant prick who thinks he's smarter than he is. Trump is less a person than a collection of terrible traits. No one will survive the first year but his family. I hate the work, but feel I need to stay because I'm the only person there with a clue what he's doing. The reason so few jobs have been filled is that they only accept people who pass ridiculous purity tests, even for midlevel policy-making jobs where the people will never see the light of day. I am in a constant state of shock and horror."
Don is a casino magnate, guilty on two counts with his Trump Foundation grifting of a veteran's charity to the tune of 2.8 million bucks. All public record. He hires Paul Manafort, who could give a shit about this country. He hires Alex Jones to run the Jan. 6th rally. He hires Mike Flynn, who's judge, looking at redacted transcripts that the rest of us will never see, and says to him, "Basically you sold your country out." He ordered Michael Caputo to run the comm at the CDC and control the intel coming out of their weekly reports so he would look shiny in an election year. Unsafe Maga rallies. Magas going back to their communities thinking they were safe. Then later in 2020 Trump said mail in ballots would come from dead people. He doubled down.
As dark as it gets.
Mr. Tamblyn was wrong. Mr. Trump often says HIMSELF, "Only I can fix this"... as if he were Jesus. If you follow Mr. Trump's tweets is clear he is as deluded as Charles Manson, and if you watch the "nice interview" you know that Mr. Tamblyn is clearly no "unfortunate fool". Even your opinions are contradictory, Ms Bello.
I liked it!
