SHELLEY WINTERS Abandoned House ROTTING Away Before DEMOLITION | My Memories

So glad that Shelley found such a wonderful friend in you Jordan. Most people don’t realize that our elderly so often find themselves isolated and alone & find it especially difficult when all their friends start dying off leaving them behind. When they finally lose that spark of life, it usually isn’t long before they pass on as well. RIP Shelley Winters.

What a beautiful tribute, Jordan! I don’t think anyone else could have done a better job. You loved her for who she was, and became her family. So proud of you! And I’m so sorry you were blocked out by the daughter, but who knows the history there. And it sounds like Shelley knew very well that the end was near and didn’t want to put you through that, and likely also could have been to protect her own dignity. She did, after all, want you to see her as a glamorous actress. May her memory always be a blessing 💖🙏🕊

[@Hewau-fj5zz]

Thats what u thought too.

[@jn8ive60]

The daughter, Vittoria Gassman, probably didn't know that Jordan existed. She was/is a successful doctor with a busy life. There was probably no "blocking", she just wouldn't have known to invite him.

[@MayimHastings]

@@jn8ive60 Yeah, could have been! I did a crappy job of saying it, but i meant that the daughter shouldn't be judged regardless, because that's her private business. Families are complicated, and funerals 100x more so.

Dear Bran Bran, greetings from England I agree, it is sad, And The house does look fairly plain, but Shelley was such an individual " character", interesting, fun , dynamic...😊.. You'd think the house would remain there as a cherished memory of a very special person... But, as ever, money comes first : the plot of land will be worth a lot, and as you say, will probably next accommodate an ugly new block , like others along the street..... All the trees and plants, like that beautiful yellow rose we saw, will be destroyed ( I "feel" it , having seen four of my gardens ripped out, by new owners, or developers🥀😢🌿... 🌹🥀🌻Could the public be invited to come and take cuttings, in memory of Shelley's extraordinary life ?

She was such a wonderful actress and breathed life and depth into every performance she ever undertook. I'm so glad she had you in her life to love her and give her the respect she most definitely deserved. They don't make 'em like her anymore.

The Night of the Hunter is my favorite Shelley Winters movie. Very haunting with Robert Mitchum as lead character. Thank you for taking us along to her home and resting place.

[@rickdrais9737]

The real tragedy of Night of the Hunter is that it was un-appreciated at the time. Charles Laughton did a brilliant job as director, and if it had succeeded, he could have transitioned from acting (and his career was on the down-turn at the time) into a major director. And Shelley was so young and vibrant. But yeah, another film where she had to die. I can see how that would depress her

The Night of the Hunter was also my favorite. I went through several record/video stores last year before I ever found one who could still get the DVD. They special ordered it. She was great in everything I ever saw her in and my mom loved her movies as well. When I was growing up mom would say we're watching such and such because Shelly Winters is in it. Mom was a huge fan. Its sad they tear down all those old historical homes. I saw a video showing that they bulldozed the home of Bette White. I guess its all about money? Thanks for doing this tribute to Shelly. I grew up hearing her name and actually remember the first time I saw The Night of the Hunter. Scared me to death as a kid. lol. The movie had been out since I think 1955? It didn't really get recognition until years later and they said the guy that directed , and basically handled the movie was so upset over the shallow reviews at the time that he never did another movie and died before the praise for his work was ever acknowledged. Again, you did an awesome job with this tribute. Loved it...

I so enjoyed listening to your stories about Shelley Winters. She was one of my favorite character actresses and I always heard good things about her. I love that she enjoyed her celebrity and didn't act like a spoiled brat the way so many do. One of my favorite roles of hers was as Roseanne, the slatternly mother in A Patch Of Blue. She was a great villain in that movie. Sweet Elizabeth Hartman played the daughter she accidentally blinded and Sidney Poitier was impressive as always. As someone who is getting older myself (75), I must say that it is a terribly challenging time in one's life. It's difficult to watch yourself deteriorate and to suffer with pain and disfunction. I felt bad for Shelley that she was unable to have comfortable dentures so she skipped eating. Anyway, thank you again for sharing. Best wishes to you in your future endeavors. ❤

Wow Jordan !.....That's quite an amazing connection you had with a Real Hollywood Legend. Most people simply have a brush with Hollywood Greatness. Thanks for sharing.

[@jennablerose2168]

You're so lucky to have met such an icon as Shelley Winters.

[@dcricket1]

That was a precious story Jordan! She loved who she loved and you were on her list. What an honor! Thank you for sharing!❤

[@louieflash7190]

Enjoyed all your stories about Shelley. I always tell people how much I miss old Hollywood. I think it's because of the connection I had with my mom and all the older movies. RIP Shelley. She was such a great actress.

[@lorettalouvros207]

What a beautiful tribute. Really I felt this thru my soul. I have always loved Old Hollywood and Shelly was one of the Best! What an amazing relationship to have. The conversation, the mementos, the memories I can’t even begin to imagine Rest peacefully Ms Winters ❤️✨

[@hhlvdncr]

What an amazing story. I have a similar experience with peter tork. He believed in me as a friend and really helped me make life changing decisions that I can never repay. I wasn’t invited to the funeral either. But that’s ok, right. Love your story telling thank you!

[@hhlvdncr]

@Scott Morrison hi Scott great today. Thanks

[@nancypritchett1159]

Don’t know if you’ll ever see this but you should be very proud. You had a wonderful friend in Shelley, and it sounds like she had a wonderful friend in you. All people just want to be remembered and she came back to life by you telling us those stories. I could see her even before the pictures talking to you and making friends and loving remembering those great times and feeling loved one more time. God bless!

[@daniellachalhoub1560]

Thank you for telling us about your friendship with Shelley Winters... This is so precious, you sure describe everything so lively, you could easily try to write a book describing the places and people you met. Take care. 🧡🙏🧡🌞☺️

[@Barbie9707]

Loved Shelly's acting!!!!....the first time i saw her was in 1970 at Elvis' show in Vegas...Elvis introduced her and said a wonderful actress is in the audience tonite...she's won an Academy award, i hate her, laughing, just kidding!...i'm from Canada and it was such a thrill to see a Hollywood star!!! (We saw lots of stars at Elvis' shows!!!) Such a shame how actors are forgotten when they get older.....thanks for your fabulous stories!! RIP Shelly...🥰

[@melissagarrison3681]

Thank you for sharing your precious memories of a time, and a beautiful woman, who have passed. Please keep the faith that Shelley had in you, she was not wrong for believing in you and seeing your potential. I'm truly grateful for all you were kind enough to share with us. What a remarkable human being...Shelley too!

[@n2wabbit]

When I was a teen, I met her once in Maryland. She was so sweet and kind and boy was she a talker. I never forgot meeting her sixty some years later.

[@Cheryl_Loves_Purple]

Thats so sad, people just do not care any more. She lives forever in your memories, Jordan. It is people like you who keep history alive. I loved watching all the old hollywood & filming locations videos but I am glad you got out of there. LA does not look like the place to be anymore. I cant believe her family did not allow you to come to her funeral! That, plus the condition of the house & stuff left behind in it, make me believe her family were not that friendly.

[@allisonramirez8641]

I just love when you share with us, your friendship with Shelley.Her autobiography was one of my absolute favorites ever.What a personality! You know, when I hear she wasn't the nicest person, I think she was a strong woman who wasn't afraid to let her feelings be known. Made her one of the best comedic characters on any 70's talk show too! Great work as usual Jordon! Good to see you in Los Angeles

[@susanfaulkner2304]

Gotta be tough in Hollywood!

[@DChristina]

Your video came up in my recommendations, and always loved Shelley Winters- so of course I watched it. I’m glad I did because it was very touching and enjoyable to hear about the friendship you two had. You have a gift for storytelling, respectfully telling us fond & fun details :-) Thanks, and looking forward to another of your videos.

[@flybynight1603]

Thank you for doing this. I love Shelley Winters, she was one of the greatest.

[@douglasmeek9774]

It was nice that you were kind to her ! Everyone needs help as they get older..

[@JudyThompson.]

Shelly Winters’ mom would come into the grocery store my dad worked at and always tell him her daughter was a big movie star. He would nod and just smile because she mentioned it every time she came into the store.I read her first biography, which was highly entertaining. When you were friendly with her was her husband around during those visits. Living with him all those years and then marrying him on her deathbed was quite the story in the tabloids. She was so entertaining.

[@esthergarcia1373]

It’s nice that you got to make those enduring memories with Shelley, Jordan. Houses will be demolished but not the memories you carry of your friendship with Shelley. Jah was enjoying the trip to memory lane himself. He’s such a good boy❣️God bless you both on your journeys together. ❤️🙏🏻🐕‍🦺⭐️🌴

[@tamarapanter-cirni2245]

Jordan, what a lovely story you’ve told about your cherished friend Shelley Winters. I enjoyed it so much, I could have listened forever. You are such a wonderful storyteller but your personal relationship with her made this story something special. Thank you for sharing this; I’m sorry for the loss of your treasured friend. Best, Tamara

[@adelebz7]

This story is amazing! It was meant for you and Shelley Winters to cross paths. So touching, and aweet.

[@cathymorgan5546]

This was awesome. I worked with her as her dresser in Colorado at Elitch summer stock theater for two weeks. She opened the season with “ 26 Charing Cross Road”. She told me sooooo many awesome stories. How she lived with Marilyn Monroe and gave her the open mouth smile and she told me she had many superstitions 😆. I loved her. What a special time that that was. Sounds as if you had many good times with her. Thanks for sharing🙂

[@scottharvey9357]

Wow Jordan, this one really touched my heart, it’s always the people least expected, and the directions that they come from who always give you the best advice and can truly become a person you can call friend. I really thank you for this video, and as a Laker of Shelley Winters in her movies, it was really great to hear her story and yours. What a neat thing was y’all have a great day. Thanks.

[@lionheartmerrill1069]

Phenomenal video & story. Shelley was fantastic in "Lolita."

[@Moonflower52]

Thank you for sharing your lovely experience with Shelley Winters.

[@scottieburnett5606]

Thanks for sharing Shelley’s home with us. I am grateful to her for encouraging you to work in front of the camera. Many have benefited from her wise advice.

[@BXTR179]

Thank you for sharing update on Shelley's home. Sad to see but since I've lived in LA for the last few years, I have become desensitized to so many historic celeb homes that are being torn down and rebuilt as a white box mc mansion. Shelley would be so happy that you continue to keep her memory alive. She was quite a character off screen and fabulous actress on screen. She never minced words. :) Always loved her Dinah Shore interview with Roz Russell, Olivia de Haviland and Shirley Jones. You were good to her, Jordan, and she steered you in the right direction with this KZbin channel and sharing stories about celebs, filming locations, cemeteries and more. I wouldn't be living my best life if it wasn't for your channel, learning so much living in the city of angels. So, heavenly thank you to Shelley and to you, Jordan. I'm glad she lived her best life in this beautiful location.

[@vayabroder729]

Wow! Didn’t know that Elvis dated Natalie wood sometime in 1956! Great stories!! Shelley was a great actress and I have come to appreciate her even more after hearing your personal friendship stories with her. I see her quite a bit on TCM. Thank you!

[@laraegonzalesingoditrust]

This was quite a lovely treat:) thank you😊❤

[@JJ-rb8sc]

Thank you for this! I always loved her. Talented, genuine, no BS, smart open. Loved her. Thank you

[@deltabourke1005]

I thought about this video all day. My mind kept going back to it. Of COURSE Shelly loved you Jordan. We all do! I really appreciate your videos and your sweetheart attitude. I’m sorry for your loss. Thank you for telling us about her yesterday, and encouraging us (at her request) to look for her in more roles than just Nanna Mary. ❤
