[@philippeantomarchi3822]

Thank you for having posted this interview (wish I have it entirely, and not only these wonderful 6mn). But could you correct the title ? His name is spelled with an "U" : Louis Jourdan : that would help other people to find it ! ;-)

[@eileenprose8472]

Thank you for watching! I made the change. Best to you!

[@TheTallMan50]

1:40-1:46 You can clearly see that subconciously the interviewer is leaning in towards Louis for a kiss. 😘

[@glamdolly30]

What year was this?

[@silenusut]

Strange woman..

[@ranlitt3201]

The Gayist of the Gay!

[@Culpano]

Joan Collins says he was the most boring man she's ever met.

[@johnpickford4222]

And Joan Collins is an overrated person, a lousy actress and a slut. I’d take Louis Jordan over Collins any day of the week.

[@ranlitt3201]

Didn't he move from Paris to San Fransisco? Quite a leap for a straight man....not.

[@andycapp5581]

Homophobic much?

[@johnpickford4222]

ran litt: Because he is French? Why and what gives you any reason to think he’s homosexual? He wasn’t!!
