Burt Reynolds On His Friendship With Marilyn Monroe | CONAN on TBS

[@devahnyerdski4607]

Burt gives some of the most real interviews out there now, it's refreshing. He talks about Marilyn Monroe as a human being, not as an icon.

[@rustyshackleford4076]

Marilyn is still so mysterious to me. She lived such a tortured life but still managed to be so kind to everyone around her. Even when she made it big and everyone loved her, she still struggled to love herself

[@SuperJimJam]

it’s because the kindest people have usually suffered the most and don’t want other people to feel like that

[@Scorchy666]

She destroyed herself. People can leave show biz, you know. Grace Kelly, Kim Novak both walked away.

[@stardustgirl2904]

You never forget where you come from, and what you've been through! I know she has to be sexually abused when she was young, in foster care. So for me I don't really know why she would of wanted to pose nude! All her nude photos we're the reason why no one took her acting seriously! So that's something I don't understand.

[@yourmom3640]

Hollywood literally ran through her at the time. she talked about it in some interviews. she was a pin up doll.

[@jeffmayo2439]

I just finished watching about 5 snippets of this interview.Conan let Burt talk..no interuptions as I hung onto his every word.Perfect interview.,I wish they (other hosts) were all this good

[@voiceguy3635]

Conan wasn't always this good,in regards to letting guests talk--but he learned.

[@TheCooderix]

@@voiceguy3635 Whether or not he was always this good, I think most agree that Conan was a top tier talk show host.

[@henrywhenryw812]

That's true wonderfull

[@iont8172]

It's fascinating the control she had over this persona of hers! Amazing!

[@jauipop]

Wow... That's an amazing short story about Marilyn...

[@iont8172]

A very sweet story! And the fact that she could control people's reactions with one move makes her even more fascinating!

[@yodheytheway]

Yes its a great story but it's not his story. This is Amy Greenes story. I highly doubt Marilyn did this every time she took a walk with a friend in New York!

[@johnbertrand7185]

Great actor, it hurts to watch him like this at 82.

[@andyelliott8027]

Watch The Cannonball Run Outtakes on KZbin, they're fantastically funny.

[@sukhmaidickoff]

Why does it hurt? He is not 20 anymore. At that time he looked like a 82-year old looks.

[@poliknoy]

Aw I love Burt so much. He did a speech at my local film festival and it was so cute haha. He does so much for the actors where I live

[@thelegendofthem6120]

poliknoy He passed away darling.💋

[@lowe-quay-shush]

Nice story on how two awesome humans (& icons) met through an acting class in New York in the 60's.

[@frankpeter6851]

I've heard several people tell the exact same story about walking down the street with Marilyn Monroe

[@mcarlo8663]

Will miss you Burt.

[@TheRubberStudiosASMR]

This interview was brilliant.

[@sammysam6210]

One of the greatest actors of all time...

[@romans8024]

I wish it was a longer clip

[@shaunreilly774]

In 1959 Burt starred in a TV series called Riverboat, so it is quite possible he attended the Actor's Studio when she did.

[@hannahwalmer1124]

Why would someone as random as Burt lie about an encounter like this?

[@e.k.5145]

marilyn monroe is a true hollywood story

[@yxcvbnmyxcvbnm9353]

The way he said gorgeous made me rethink the way I meme

[@ThePurpleMushroom]

Lol, how?

[@DamianReloaded]

gorgeous ...

[@watching..........6494]

Beautiful, icon ,golden age of Hollywood or not .Marilyn Monroe just reminded me of like a grown up little girl ,down to earth sweet and kind .those who know her are quite fortunate . They never has or never will be another person quite like her !

[@izom]

love BR could listen for hours to that stories ! what a life...

[@alfrancis8]

seems like a person with so much to tell, and tells it so well.

[@SonjaDawn]

I wonder what would have come of Marilyn Monroe if she had lived longer?

[@Scorchy666]

Burt would have beaten her and left her for someone younger.

[@SonjaDawn]

You sound like a winner.

[@coldwinter5710]

Without serious therapy, I think she would've always been a mess. Always searching for stability in all the wrong places. She needed to be strong enough to stand on her own and sadly, I don't think she was.

[@peterwieser4631]

She was SO bright, but because of her history too much of her self identity was wrapped up in her image. The addictions intensified as she got older ( by artificial Hollywood standards) and had setbacks. She had no financial cushion, underpaid her whole career. The simultaneous professional and personal setbacks with pills doomed her.

[@wdh47211]

Man....the stories he took to his grave.

[@DonRosa949]

Enredado hasta en homicidios... y quizás cuanto mas

[@matthewmckenna248]

He's one lucky son of a bitch To have had the chance to hang out with Marilyn Monroe.

[@MJ-ge6jz]

This is what some men will look like just prior to their death. My father had that look. Burt died 3 months later from this broad cast.

[@andrewbrendan1579]

I've also seen that look here and there. Sometimes there is a look of death before the event happens.

[@gracieambrosio4967]

Most of the time I click in this videos to see just Conan talking.

[@JasonL77]

Man, I need to see this entire interview.

[@hawaii5-084]

Burt seems faded but I grew up on smoky and the bandit revenge of the nerds classics

[@sweetlildevil7597]

I remember him in Smoky, but I don't remember him in Revenge of the Nerds?

[@hawaii5-084]

Sweet LilDevil he wasn’t I’m just talking about the classics in general I grew up watching

[@sweetlildevil7597]

oh, lol -- I love that movie too

[@meotv2336]

Class act ,we love you Burt

[@arifghauri1961]

Amazing story, was thinking of this when watching the Netflix teaser "Blonde"

[@hollywoodsaint57]

I think Burt Reynolds eyebrows look glued on

[@neildickson5394]

Glad Burt told this story. He's getting along in years himself. I'm pretty sure he meant 57th Street, that's where Marilyn lived.

[@eianoespolon2980]

RIP SIR

[@myscrewsareloose]

.30 second ad every video you want to watch? C'mon Conan!

[@kingman2332]

download AdBlock. It's free and I never see ads; even on KZbin vids

[@georgekuiper3223]

she was 10 years older than Burt. It seems he was just starting and Marylin was somewhat established but left Hollywood to improve her acting skills. Does that make sense?

[@viggianoj]

She did take acting classes in New York later in her career to become a more serious actress and shed the dumb blonde type casting.

[@Minlaroo]

She was always wanting to improve herself. She worked really hard , especially when she was starting out and just beginning to gain popularity as an actress and who she was going to be. RIP🕊️🤍 August.5, 2024

[@normadesmond6017]

this is an anecdote that has been told by a lot of people. So... who knows if it happened between Marilyn and him....

[@craigh8602]

Back in the day, Burt was the man. He had as much poon as Mickey Mantle and Paul Hornug.

[@voiceguy3635]

True,whoever he wanted.

[@circle8916]

I love her

[@kiwibonsai2355]

[@Mntguy-nr9vl]

I think without his mustache and his younger days he was the spitting image of Marlon Brando without the weird voice. He actually grew his mustache so he wouldn't look like Marlon Brando They had a notorious feud that lasted till the day they died. Marlon Brando hated Burt Reynolds more than the other way around.

[@Seraphvonteschen]

marilyn monroe will always be the definition of class and beauty.

[@davidgoble4182]

burt , described that walk and the you want to see her ? the same as in the movie about marilyn. wonder if that is where the movie got the story from or did she do that many times in her life ?

[@Starburst514]

It was a thing she could do in real life

[@ucfkid67]

Hm.... please give us some insight on 'a few other things' at the end.

[@voiceguy3635]

What were those,"a few other things,"I wonder.

[@TheCosmicStarmen]

*Who else read the title wrong.. but instead thought it said "Burt Reynolds On His Friendship With Marilyn Manson"...???* 😂 🤣 😃 😄

[@damien1781]

Grim Reaper lol me

[@Combo223]

guilty

[@solidkingcobra]

and then I read your comment and thought *"Burt Reynolds On His Friendship With Charles Manson"* ...?

[@jerrysummers5971]

MM was a cougar 😉

[@mar5o.x]

❣️

[@Scorchy666]

I call bullshit on Burt. This story has been floating around for decades and probably a dozen actors have claimed the same thing. His first role in Hollywood wasn't well until 1961, the year before she died.

[@yodheytheway]

Why is Burt Reynolds telling the exact same story that Amy Greene has been telling fir many years? Does he have dementia?

[@willboudreau1187]

His eyebrows are younger than his toupe, and his toupe is younger than his face.

[@Kajolica1200]

Its because she has a gemini sun and an aquarius moon.

[@oldcountryman2795]

Marilyn was 10 years older, a mega star, and died before anyone new who Burt Reynolds was. Unlikely story.

[@Katzenhase]

Why? He starred in the TV show "Riverboat" in 1959, so it´s possible.

[@VKJ85]

Possibly 1.st Finnish commenter on this one too.

[@GodsMemeTV]

Monroe was a Kardashian of her age

[@thefilmexpert1239]

Floppy Bird That's an insult to Marilyn

[@yaypop]

WTF!

[@GodsMemeTV]

thats an insult? Hahahaha....... first of all lil kiddos.... back in the time when Monroe was "somebody" people used to have HIGH morale standarts. I know.. you dont know what the fudge am I talking about but back in those days it MEANT something... so Monroe was the one, who didnt give a fudge about it and sold her body for money. Thats what she was... just an "object" for men with high income.

[@AlyssaCilliersSinger]

Floppy Bird no don't compare those trash to her

[@smithfan22]

She was bigger than any Kardashian and more talented.

[@archerboy58]

I have never understood the pedestal that Marilyn Monroe was put on . She certainly was not a good actress and there have been better looking women in Hollywood.

[@sweetlildevil7597]

She just simply had the "it" factor. Something about her was captivating to people. I suppose not everyone gets it, but she captivated people then and continues to captivate them to this day.

[@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118]

+Sweet LilDevil Agreed. She has a kind of charm and it draws a lot of people in. She's often (some people would claim "always") type cast as a dumb blonde but I still loved her in Some like it hot, Gentlemen prefer blondes and How to marry a millionaire.

[@coldwinter5710]

According to a very well known actor, she was a model who was never meant to be an actress. But the bigwigs got a hold of her, used and manipulated her for "their" benefit. Very common with many actresses in those days. She suffered from undiagnosed mental illness, I think bi-polar, was not an intellectual, so was easily turned upside down emotionally. She could be very difficult to work with as a result, but the camera LOVED her. A sad story people will be fascinated by forever.

[@coldwinter5710]

@@michaelcelani8325 OK Michael...What did I say that you feel was incorrect? I will say though, she was most likely smarter than she gets credit for. Interested to see a new documentary coming out about her. Hopefully we will learn more about her we've not heard before.
