Bobby Darin • This Is Your Life (1959) part 3 of 3

[@willowhilldesigns7]

I loved seeing this. He left us too early….💔

[@terrybear5398]

I truly appreciate every moment of this tribute to Bobby Darin. He was such a Tremendously talented singer and performer. I feel so blessed to have had his music in my life. Thank you, and God Bless

[@anitaadvani8464]

Bobby Darin was so modest. Even with all the accolations they were giving him, he still tried to deflect each compliment and give it to the other person saying "I owe it all to you" and things like that. He really was the greatest human being, so much talent and yet so humble!

[@redskins17084]

Fantastic analogy of a fine person

[@depaola63]

What a life ....he was just 37 when he passed ! WOW what he did in those short years !

[@tinasalter9609]

I loved watching this. I like him and his films.

[@msharvie]

One of the greats. Such a beautiful voice and handsome man.

[@RiRi2023_]

I love watching this TV show on him - I like him esp at this young age :-)

[@cindyincolorado]

Thank you so much for posting these video’s. The world is a richer place because of Bobby Darin. Not just the great music he made that we still get to enjoy, but the great human being he was! I especially enjoyed seeing how much he loved his friends and family and how much they loved him. Sammy Davis Jr, what a great guy. No wonder I loved him as a kid. And George Burns affection for Bobby, awesome.

[@eternalbd]

Thank you so much for this video ... been hoping someone would get it. Bless you.

[@dianagruver5767]

“Uncle Bobby” lol. Little did he know those were really his brother and sisters.

[@shellydehart8217]

I looked forward every week as a kid waiting to this show. Loved BobbyDarn. Has a crush on him till he marry Sandra Dee but I was ok with that, I like her very much too

[@rick-pn3fq]

when i first saw nina i thought that strange she behaving like a very proud mother and she is

[@gomphrena-beautifulflower-8043]

Bobby Darin died at only 37 from post-op heart surgery complications. How he touched so many lives so young. He would learn a few years after this show that his sister was actually his mother, and he went into seclusion, taking this revelation really hard. RIP Bobby.

[@MichaelBoyce-tm2vw]

Right on the table,too ..a horrible way way to die!

[@tracidouglas2529]

This is so good❤

[@jamesodonnell3905]

Can't believe he's gone so young R I P Bobby

[@dianasilva9463]

thank you Bobby for this film

[@keetonplace]

Elvis Presley went to Pearl Harbor in 1961 and did a charity benefit concert to raise money to save it.. He succeeded. Bless his heart.

[@barbaradownie3265]

LOVE THIS GUY 🥰🥰🥰

[@walterminer4990]

Wonderful story!

[@kdjd221]

So funny that the show was sponsored by Lilt home perms,so long ago but like yesterday, I was a very young kid, but my parents had all Bobby's music, & used to blast it from the Hi Fi, it sounded great, the bass was amazing on those!

[@pumpupjam9648]

This was way before he met Sandra Dee and married and had Dodd Mitchell. Dodd, sure looks like his daddy. Glad he didn't inherit his dad's heart issues. He made it to 37, that's better then 16. Sandra, was a little beauty, to bad they divorced. She loved him all to the way to the grave.

[@rosarioreside2993]

Thank you for the Westen freeMovie

[@Mr.56Goldtop]

They never talked about his heart problems when he was young. The doctors told his mom that he would only live to around 16.

[@hategreed1]

I'm glad they didn't bring it up. That would have been morbid, rather than a celebration, for all, especially Bobby. He knew about it, that was hard enough.

[@Cynthia00007]

Bobby was overcome with sadness at the mention of his Grandmother's Passing..8 years later, when he was 31, Nina, his real mother, told Bobby the truth, unbelievable!!😢 🕊💞🙏

[@annamariaiannacito5291]

Recently bought old movies and "Come September" was one. He upstaged (accidently) the others, (except Rock) If only life was like a good ol' Rom-Com!

[@chrisn7259]

This is great, but in a way it was premature. In just a few more years he would marry Sandra Dee, become a father and get an Oscar nomination.

[@barbaravire6439]

Boy miss Sammy though both of them Rat Pack! good ole days !

[@Tony7840]

@OnCloudNine62 Bobby and Sandra met, when they both co-starred in "Come September," that starred Rock Hudson and Gina Lollobrigida, in the early 60's.

[@dianplanes2067]

L ove. It Thank You

[@Tony7840]

@frank02111 Talk about narcissim..you are the perfect example of the textbook case. In addition, having known Bobby since 1959 (Chez Paree, Chicago), until one year prior to his untimely death on Dec. 20, 1973, "Beyond The Sea," didn't even come close to representing the "real" Bobby Darin." No wonder that it was never considered, for an Academy Award. One of the shoddiest representation of a Biography. No wonder that Kevin Spacek, hasn't appeared in a movie, since.

[@MrDisneyCollector]

omg, I never knew this about Bobby. Amazing, I guess to keep honor in the family mom claimed the baby to keep her daughter pure and innocent. I wonder who the father was? Amazing, Mom and sis are really Grandmother and Mom.

[@terrybear5398]

I don't understand? Was Bobby's older sister the one who had which kids?

[@jgonzales7227]

Supposedly Nina still would not give up that info even to Bobby on his death bed how sad....

[@char7488]

Look up Sam Tellerico on You Tube to get the answer to who his father was

[@expo66]

This has the GREATEST use of a laugh track I have ever heard, 2:54 and 3:10 are brilli ant!!

[@alwayssme]

can you imagine thinking these are your niece and nephews then finding out they are your bothers and sister

[@JasmineMariscal17]

Some of my family have heart conditions

[@catherinecarella2928]

Those are his half siblings, not niece and nephew b/c his 'sister' is his Mother!

[@carmenquiles8595]

Rest in peace

[@Cynthia00007]

Bobby married Sandra Dee in 1960 THEIR son Dodd was born in 1961 This Is Your Life for Bobby Darin aired 1959

[@Darci3333]

Why wasn't Sandra Dee included....

[@petulia67]

It is strange to view this knowing the family deception about his mother. I wonder if Bronx HS of Science is still giving out that award?

[@oletramekaf5603]

I wonder the same. Tried to search, but couldn't find anything.

[@girlfromthebronxbywayofelb7288]

Bronx HS of Science had a fairly good music library that was extremely popular with students on their lunch periods. Also had a terrific jazz band. That was in the 70s.

[@MichaelBoyce-tm2vw]

Btw ahmet was the only one that never showed up.

[@deborahculbertson578]

Where is Sandra Dee his wife?

[@TheWhitewatermom]

His mother was Nina, the person he had always thought was his older sister.

[@melindarobb6374]

I love Bobby Darin. Always will

[@Croonerrich]

What a terrible blow!! Can you imagine? I would have been furious.

[@JasmineMariscal17]

Nina is the mother if bobby darin

[@Hercfan1978]

If they make another biography movie of Bobby Darin, they should use Shia Labeouf as he looks and sounds alot like Bobby...I'd see that movie!!!

[@realskybluepink9124]

I agree, the film with Spacey as Darrin, did not do any kind of justice to truth. Is definitely not a biography...purely fiction based on what I know of him and the lovely Sandra Dee. The truth should be interesting enough, for Pete's sake!

[@hategreed1]

Agreed. A person has to be cracked to want to watch Spacey as Darin. There are abundant videos on Bobby and Bobby's performances. Those are treasure. Who needs karaoke/copying, when you can have the REAL GREAT DEAL.

[@STONEYCLAW]

Bobby Darin's sister was really his mother. he did not find out til he was 31 years old.

[@terrybear5398]

Oh my goodness. I hope they all came to peace with it before he died. I love Bobby Darin. Such a talented and nice guy.

[@tenniscollector]

Thanks for uploading. Bit sad that his Mother kept pretending to be his "Sister". How long after this did Darin find out the truth ?

[@christinephillips6271]

bobby found out that his real mother was his sister nina when he was 32. his "mother" (really his grandmother polly) felt compelled to tell him because he had political ambitions. after that he dropped his political ambitions and went downhill for a period of time...

[@debbiewebb9501]

Yeah, but it was just a different time then, the same thing happened to Jack Nicholson, a reporter called him and told him, which he told that reporter he was crazy, but called a family member and they confirmed it, his mother and sister had already passed, but I loved Jack Nicholson response, he called the reporter back and told him he admired those two women even more for raising him so well!

[@jgonzales7227]

@@christinephillips6271 His Mother aka as his Grandmother "Polly" told him. I am sorry but I am confused had she not already passed...I mean obviously as they just mentioned she died of a stroke befor "This is your life" and he had no idea or anybody else yet. So sorry I dont believe his Grandmother told him. His politic ambition was near the end of the 60"s.

[@breckrichardson390]

What I have read is that it was his "sister" who told him the truth in the late '60s -- that she was actually his mother.

[@MrDisneyCollector]

then who was his 'mother?' This show said he bought a home for his mother and sister.

[@hategreed1]

The woman who raised him as his "mother" was actually his grandmother. This was NOT uncommon in America, "Land of the Free" but intolerant of natural mistakes.

[@jessiem276]

@@hategreed1 "Natural mistakes" ...she was about thirteen when she got pregnant, still a child. " Land of the Free" doesn't mean you can do ANYTHING you please.

[@robinrubendunst869]

Probably mentioned elsewhere, but I think Bobby’s sister was really his mother. He didn’t find out until 1967 or so. But he seemed like such a loving guy.

[@terrybear5398]

Oh, so the lady sitting next to him on the couch is not his sister, but his mother?

[@jgonzales7227]

@@terrybear5398 Yes but no one else knew that yet... of course least of all Bobby.....That really must have felt like even more of a pull on the heart strings to Nina when "This is your Life came calling for her to be on the show" Now to have to take it a step further and be a BIG huge liar on national TV EEEK.....I guess what more can you do your already into up to your neck might as well stick your whole head in now. Ugh .... Just a hunch hear but I think the husband was let in on the family secret too.....
