Legendary "film noir" star Jane Greer is joined by character actress Fran Ryan for this half-hour interview with cable TV host Skip E. Lowe.

[@genegarren833]

Jane Greer was another of those incredibly beautiful, talented, and wonderful ladies.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Indubitably !

[@christinegruenberg3120]

She was such a beautiful woman.

[@GCK50]

Jane Greer was the perfect woman - multi-talented, absolutely gorgeous, sweet, kind, lovely, adorable ...

[@jod6cindy]

I agree. She exuded warmth, class, kindness. She was LOVELY.

[@sergiosuarezbolanos6167]

Yo la amo

[@jubalcalif9100]

Well said and well put ! I heartily concur !

[@stanmaster1205]

One of the most attractive Actress from the Golden Era and she kept her natural beauty until her death.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Yes ! I certainly have a notion to second THAT emotion !

[@kaleokaialoha8076]

Now she´s what I called a beautiful older woman. 61 and simply gorgeous. NATURALLY gorgeous.

[@jubalcalif9100]

You got that right !!

[@dancelli714]

Even though Skip is not well prepared, he has lots great actors on. Jane Greer, I couldn't stop looking at her, WOW ! Both women sound like good people. 1985 interview. The most important thing is, he has so many legends on from Hollywood. I've watched may of these shows, and the guests are so great.

[@jubalcalif9100]

I could not have said it better. I don't care for Skip's off the wall & erratic interviewing skills, but he certainly was able to have some big & amazing names from Hollywood's Golden Age as guests ! Amazing & awesome !

[@hankochai]

Jane Greer was fantastic. Such a shame Howard Hughes ended her career out of spite. Also love seeing the interviewer, the inspiration for Jiminy Glick.

[@bbt5358]

What a beautiful and incredibly lovely woman. ❤️

I agree 100 per cent !!

Indeed ! A voice to match her beauty !

[@4Topwood]

Beautiful, intelligent, talented. And as we can see here, very gracious.

[@PhillipJames100]

What a beautiful and intelligent lady!

[@owenfreed700]

She’s always been such a cool cat. Such a wonderful amazing beautiful human

[@jubalcalif9100]

I could not agree more !

[@borderbus3963]

Love Jane Greer but this "interviewer" What an opportunity this guy had with a noir great and he blew it.

[@ThePiratemachine]

Border Bus Skip's great and I love Jane Greer too.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Skip's interviewing style is truly infuriating at times ! Interrupts too much & keeps suddenly changing the subject ! Grrrrr !

[@robertamitchum]

E Lowe interrupts Jane constantly, terrible to listen. Great Jane Greer, one of my absolute favs.

[@KindaLikeWater]

omg... The interruptions are maddening. I saw a "Day at Night" Interview with Myrna Loy, that was very much like this. The interruptions!a Both actresses handled their interruptors with great grace.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Indeed ! I wanna reach into the screen and slap Skip & tell him to shut up & let his guest finish answering his questions ! I have watched many of his interviews and am always amazed at how well his guests take his style. Classy people, for sure !

[@elchoya100]

jane GEER was great in OUT OF THE PAST 1947.

[@CharlieChilders-wm9gb]

Such a very great, under rated, unappreciated and mostly forgotten classic. Kirk Douglas, Robert mitchum and of course the wonderful Jane Greer. The way she changed from good girl to bad girl at the last half of the movie was really so surprising and shocking that I have never forgotten that movie and her superior and brilliant performance!😱 Why on God's green earth wasn't she recognized and supported by the academy awards? Probably that sorry s.o.b. Howard Hughes. So very sad he blacklisted her and all that great and exceptional talent was wasted away, unappreciated and the world didn't get to enjoy! God bless this dear woman.

Jane Greer

[@jubalcalif9100]

For sure !!

[@CharlieChilders-wm9gb]

@@jubalcalif9100 I was surprised and very happy to read your reply! Wicked and cruel, he blacklisted this Superior actress from the industry. Just like Alfred Hitchcock did to his star in "the Birds"and "Marnie"-Tippi Hedren"! (Spelling?)👹👺🥺😥💌

[@user-yg4xf4rs3e]

She seemed such a lovely person

[@robertsimpson5136]

Stunningly beautiful....always.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Could not agree more !!

[@hankochai]

Love Jane Greer.

[@jubalcalif9100]

I know the feeling !!

[@charleswinokoor6023]

Is there any way I can go back in time and give Skip E. a knock on the noggin to shut him up? Guess not. Well it was worth asking.

[@ThePiratemachine]

Charles Winokoor Oh no we're glad you asked. The answer is simple. It's because we like him the way he is if you din't mind and so must a hell of a lot of others as he was very successful.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Ha ! I was thinking the same thing ! I wonder if any guest ever lost their temper & told him to shut up & let them finish ? Or got up & walked out ?

[@xfiler-gl7nc]

At 5:33 she delivered that no like she wanted to shoot him. If you’ve seen out of the past you know she played Kathy in a way she was ruthless as hell but could sweet while unloading on you😂.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Yes !!

[@mikeeyre7315]

23:56: 'Comics are not funny. What do you think Peg, I mean Ryan, I mean you're a comedienne?' 'My first name is Fran'. 'Fran, I know.' How did this guy make a career of this?! '

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

I think he was on for nearly 30 years, as long as Carson. The antithesis of Carson.

[@MrFilmfan100]

Hilarious! Not sure if Skip ever actually prepared for an interview but they sure were entertaining to watch!

[@palominokid3002]

Mike Eyre the absolute worst host in the history of television

[@waynej2608]

I was thinking that Fran, if she wanted to, might take Lowe over her knee and give him a shallacking.

[@Dory8]

He's adorable. More like a fan than an interviewer.

[@dbreckman]

This guy's maybe the worst interviewer ever. At one point Jane Greer says of Howard Hughes, who owned RKO Pictures, the studio that employed her at the time, "He told me he wouldn't put me in any movies" -- and the host doesn't even ask her WHY. Hughes refused to cast Jane Greer in any movies? How does anyone not follow up on that??

[@martyrobinson4474]

He's such a fussy, gossipy caricature. Compare him to someone like Robert Osborne from TCM ... night and day.

[@dbreckman]

+Marty Robinson ...Gossipy and fey? No problem. But absurdly irresponsible? That drives me crazy.

[@MrRazorblade999]

Well, we all know why Hughes did that to her...

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

Cuz he only thinks about himself

[@MrLouisajr]

The interviewer does not listen to his guests. Casting Couch

[@Paul-lm5gv]

Jane Greer. 1924-2001. She would have been 61 in 1985.

[@jubalcalif9100]

She kept your beauty & was always a lovely lady. A true class act.

[@BrokebackBob]

That guy is a raging obnoxious insufferable hyperactive queen. I'm gay and he repulses me. I feel so sorry for Jane.

[@ThePiratemachine]

BobEckert56 So sorry you feel that way. We think he's terrific.

[@Iksvomid]

That's homophobic.

[@bbb103]

This should be 1985.

[@davorpavlovic948]

Marvellous lady

My sentiments exactly !!

[@spactick]

does anyone know the year of the interview?

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

I know Fran Ryan from Season 1 of the Doris Day Show when it was a rural show. When it because a Mary Tyler Moore wanna be, the season 1 cast was replaced. She's also well know to my generation for starring in one of the "better" '80s teen sex "comedies" called Private School with Ray Waltson.

[@cmcb09]

M. M. Fran quit half way through season one, she and Doris didn’t get along. The part was retooled for character actress Naomi Stevens.

[@mikecustenborder3991]

Station West is a good movie Jane Greer was in.

[@jubalcalif9100]

Agree ! Opposite Dick Powell. Sort of a noir Western. Xlnt 40s flick !

[@rs4425]

Would be nice to listen to her speak without interruption..

[@jubalcalif9100]

Sigh....I know ! Skip infuriates me with his constant interrupting & suddenly changing the subject ! Grrrrr ! But I must admit, he had some truly wonderful guests ! That's what keeps me coming back to watching these "blasts from the past" !

[@MrDFJohnson]

"Tell me about that". Martin Short definitely based his hilarious character Jiminy Glick on this guy.

[@antoniomarine1567]

I came here after re-watching Out of the Past. I’ve never seen Skip before - but as soon as I did I thought - Jiminy Glick!! Lol

[@Spiderman7Bob7]

The SOUND in this clip is hardly audable. I had to give it up.

Turn up the volume on the lower left corner of the screen and also on your computer. The sound is there, just look at the other comments.

[@ThePiratemachine]

TheTerryE And stay on. He was very successful. He must have something.

[@kathyvierra]

He keeps interrupting her. And too much “mmhm, mmhm” while she tries to talk. He says, “Tell me about that” then he ends up telling the story.

[@jubalcalif9100]

I would have liked to see him interview Robert Mitchum. The late great Mr Mitchum did not suffer fools gladly. I don't think he'd have put up with Skip's interrupting for more than five minutes. He'd have either got up & walked out or told Skip to shut up & let him finish.

[@RonOside]

8:13 Howard Hughes went bonkers over her. I see why.

[@j.w.2391]

Goddam, but I love Jane....unforgettable in Out of the Past and The Big Steal. But she is so poised, self-controlled and direct in her responses to Lowe's inane interviewing. Mary Astor would have walked out !!

[@j.w.2391]

His interview with Ann Savage is just terrible !

[@ThePiratemachine]

J. W. How do you know?

[@CharlieChilders-wm9gb]

I may be wrong but I think I know why this man interrupts everybody while talking 90 miles an hour, rudely not ever showing the guests their due respect etc. Maybe he doesn't mean to be perceived as this and he is so very excited and happy to see and talk to them and he has so very many things that he wants to ask but he is very rushed with so very little time! Why was this man always only given or just allowed only 30 minutes or less with each guest? Most of the other interviewers are allowed much more time and they're more relaxed in their interviews .. they are also better produced with bigger budgets, a class studio that includes excellent sound and video equipments. Sadly,he is probably doing his very best with what the cheap producers have given him but he is laughed at, judged by everyone for this poor quality kind of show. Still, if we didn't have his pitiful shows, we would never have gotten to see and enjoy all his many interviews!🤔😱🙁😌🤗👍 p.s. with all of his anxiety etc- medications such as prosaic would have helped this rushed man. Deep inside he seems to be a good and descent person.

[@aeichler]

You are right on every count. These shows were produced with zero budget, mostly in high school auditoriums with students running the cameras and controls, or at cable companies. No one got paid, including Skip E. and he even had to pay for the tape. He never had time to research anyone and would quickly scan their bios while the cameras were being set up. Also, everyone who came on the show was there because they wanted to be and most would never have been interviewed by anyone at all. Bigger stars like Tony Curtis. Janet Leigh and Shelley Winters, loved coming on. Skip E was a huge fan and never judged anyone by their status. They were all stars to him and he never turned anyone down.

[@CharlieChilders-wm9gb]

@@aeichler thank you for your wonderful reply and confirming what I thought was true. People often are too quick to judge someone without getting all the facts. Always try to treat everyone like you would want to be treated , with courtesy and respect.🤔😇🤗👍

[@dancelli714]

Too many here pay more attention to Skip. I enjoyed what Greer and Ryan had to say. You guys can fuss about the host. I enjoyed the Ladies. And Greer is still HOT here.

[@ThePiratemachine]

william F Don't agree at all. He's a scream. Makes the interview with the star. It's hilarious. That's why he was so successful. Great show.

[@sandrashevey8252]

Comics are not funny. Gag writers are funny. The industry lacks gag writers, thus it lacks comics. Not to worry. Hollywood has re-invented itself and has put an end to comedy as we know it. For me, the alternate is not only not funny, it is sick!!!
