Bette davis 😅😅😅like she is damm annoyed with the interviewer fighting fire 🔥

A rare and special talent, that little gal

<Doing this for my class work for Mary Pickford the interviewer is so nice tho<3

Quite the curio, if one can swallow down the interviewer's lack of tact: "You have a legend of being a smart businesswoman!" he informs Mary Pickford, who controlled United Artists for more than 35 years and kept it alive despite the fact that Griffith succumbed to directorial failure by being increasingly old-fashioned, Fairbanks took off early, and Chaplin was never interested in it. I guess when it came to girls, "facts" became "legends". And Swanson was a bit more than a Mack Sennett Bathing Beauty; out of all her silent films, why bring that unimportant moment up? Listening to this, you'd think: Bathing Beauty during the First World War, then, almost 40 years later, boom, "Sunset Blvd." Back to Mary, Wikipedia shows nothing about a movie ABOUT Pickford, but, of course, Swanson had already basically played Pickford in "Sunset Blvd". The aging woman rotting away in a cold Beverly Hills manse, increasingly drunk and dotty, with one man-slave (irl, Buddy Rogers) to keep her company, like von Stroheim does for Swanson in the movie. "Norma Desmond" was Mary, not Gloria.

Not one of my favorites. But I appreciate her golden age era in movies.

One of the best dancers of the age along with G Kelly F Astaire Vera Allen Cyd Charise and the Nicholas Brothers they al new each other and were friends their work has provided so much happininess for us ordinary mortals lol

This was incredible. What a great star...they sure don't make them like Heston anymore.😊

"They take making pictures as though it was some intellectual art form when it is really accidental and intuitive and emotional. And none of them seem to get that point. It's a creative art, it isn't an intellectual art at all. And I think that is one of the troubles with pictures today. They are being intellectualized, there's no joy in them, there's no romance, of course. There is no real fun. If it's a comic movie, it's likely to be coarse, slapstick, and to me, therefore, humorless. But not witty, there's no sophistication anymore in movies."

I’m so grateful that Lena share so much about her experiences. I appreciate her even more. She wasn’t just a pretty face. She was quite smart too. ❤

Mary Pickford was very forward thinking and recognized how viewing/creating entertainment was evolving.

Now, this is amazing and wonderful! God will do it! I love my nieces! Just beautiful! Love Auntie C. 🙏❤🙏💜🙏🥰

Wonderful interviews! Thanks for posting. I admire both ladies but particularly Ms Swanson who had more charisma and longevity.

What a wonderful interview ! Thanks VERY much for uploading for us to enjoy. The late great Mr Heston was always one of my favorite stars. Quite an intelligent, articulate & perceptive gentleman. Especially interesting to hear of his early years in Hollywood. CHEERS ! 👍🤓

……not only was he a superb actor in film, tv, stage, & radio, he was a really lovely man. Extremely intelligent, & very well read. Had the great honour, & privilege of meeting him, & his beautiful wife, Lydia many times’ between 1966-1996.

I wish I could link her comments at 9:18 thru 10:00 to every tired "Feud" related fan thread insisting on putting two iconic actresses in a perpetual cage match. Ironically, Hollywood got its way, perpetuating "the row " that never existed 30+ years after both women were deceased.

Fantastic interview with Henry Fonda. Leland Hayward I learned about in the autobiography of Slim Keith. Leland was everywhere: aviation, photography, theater, movies, Broadway. Because of his insomnia he would bake bread all night long. He was a renaissance man. Rarely do I find information about him because the people that knew him best have passed and there is no film that shows him as he was. The greatest tribute to him Is the autobiography of Slim Keith. Actually the best book about him Has to be the one that his daughter wrote called Haywire. His daughter is still alive and it might be a nice idea to have her talk about her dad on the record. He married fabulous ladies and he raised eccentric, talented , brilliant children. Thank you for this posting.

Very enjoyable, even if it was only audio. Love hearing the details of the stories behind the story. People will be enjoying all those MGM and other musicals for decades and centuries to come.

Love Fontaine's speaking voice

❤

You can hear her Indian accent

I love the old silent screen stars especially Mary pickford.i never knew much about Gloria but ive seen her in inteviews on tv she was so pleasant. Rest in peace to them amen godbless them. 🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🌹🌹🌹🌹💖💖💖💖🕊

With her fake accent lol she was actually Indian

I Preffered Gene Kelly

Thank you for posting this!

This was fun as she did do few interviews, of course.

Sam Goldwyn and William Wyler were real geniuses. They made the most eternally amazing movies -

Lena ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Horne

Thank you for uploading this gem 😊

Amazing. Thank you for posting this.

ive had a crush on both these ladies for my whole life! ❤️❤️❤️😍😍😍😍

A golden era never to return

Superb! Thank you so much.

Hi! Who did she do this interview with?

She doesn't credit Carole Lombard ....

Ginger was gorgeous and amazingly talented!!

Both are my favorite classic film icons.

Loved it. Thanks!

Beautiful Glory💖wow what a star, and Mary of course, America's sweetheart💖

Thanks so much for this upload. Absolutely fascinating recollections and insights from Miss Fontaine. So great to have had the opportunity to hear this!

The person did not understand the plot of the story in shall we dance did he regards Graham Flowers

Ginger the icon 🎊

I love how she roars and shouts her way through this interview. I can imagine the cumulous cloud of angry cigarette smoke she pumped out in that room.

Curious how this interview ends ? Seems like there’s a couple more questions but this was pure gold. I think Ginger would have loved Lala Land. Thanks 4 the upload 👍

Mary Pickford the greatest star ever.period.
