Lee Remick: Her Life Story (Jerry Skinner Documentary)

[@miltsar]

I met this beautiful woman at a photographers studio in the early 80s. She was wearing little or no makeup ...her face freckled . She was unassuming. Very low key . We talked a bit while we waited for the photographer to leave the set. She asked me what we were doing. I told her we were shooting a fashion catalog and she seemed very interested and asked me a few questions about how we did it and for whom we we were doing the photography. I did not acknowledge that I knew her cause I wanted it to be a normal situation. I have always thought she was a brilliant actress but from that day I admired her even more for who she was as a person.

[@richarddonahue6730]

I worked at her father's department store for about six years, the visits from Lee Remick were always special days. Lee Remick was jaw-dropping beautiful and always so friendly and approachable. her father was the same, working for him was an experience that I carried with me for my entire working life. The store and the atmosphere created there was a direct reflection of the Remick Name. Remick's of Quincy, Unique for the times.

[@ual737ret]

She was always one of my favorite actresses. As a pilot for a commuter airline a number of years ago, I had her as a passenger on one of my flights to Hyannis, on Cape Cod. At the end of the flight, she came up to the cockpit, thanked us and handed me a rose. I will never forget her gracious gesture. A truly kind and beautiful woman.

[@SandiB2010]

Mr. SKINNER, You have done such a magnificent narration of many famous people. You have taken us through the years of these people with dignity and grace. Thank you, Mr. Skinner.

[@charlesrobinson1637]

the days of wine and roses is one the best movies ever,and Lee Remick gives one of the most heart wrenching performances ever recorded on the screen

[@melissagregoire9278]

I agree ! That was a well made movie, almost too real. Redick and Lemon were so good together.

[@pamelagardner2116]

Went in to Remicks as a teenager to look at all the beautiful things. My cousin bought Revlon peacock blu eye shadow at the makeup counter and I was mesmerized- during the 70’s that was a huge deal. Remicks was always a magical store in Quincy. A big part of my growing up.

[@OneIotaOfaDifference]

I was a teenager in the 60's and had a big crush on Lee Remick. I saw her as one of the most beautiful women in the world. My view of her was heavily influenced by her beautiful authentic open honest personality, and I will always hold her in that high regard.

[@judithrandall4690]

Lee Remick was a great actress. For some reason, her acting never received anywhere near the recognition that she deserved. Her acting was subtle, nuanced, honest, realm and interesting, something rare now days. Her acting in Days of Wine and Roses was, and still is, some of the best acting of all time, male or female. And the prettiest actress of them all. Her face had character, and not just a bland frozen mannequin.

[@joydbrower]

I hadn't heard or thought of Lee Remick for years - and was genuinely surprised that she died so many years ago! But what a beautiful tribute to a wonderful actress and, from what I gleaned from the narrator, a wonderful person as well.

[@ZRJZZZZZ]

Beauty like Lee’s is timeless. She would be considered just as beautiful if she were a young star now. And I don’t mean beauty in the model sense, but in the combined sense of form and substance. I have a feeling that she was just as beautiful on the inside as out.

[@mikebarnard7957]

A stunning beauty and great actress who passed away far too young. . By all accounts she was as well a kind and wonderful woman with a golden smile. R.I.P. dear lady.

I always loved Lee Remick as an actress...what a lovely tribute from Mr. Skinner. Thank you kindly for the memories.

[@land7776]

I always remember her eyes- they were so translucently beautiful it looked like they could stare into your soul. She was brilliant in Days of wine and roses, she deserved an Oscar.

A truly beautiful narration of a truly lovely lady. Jerry, from across the pond, I say a big fat thank you for your eulogy. Very well done sir.

[@MarkSmith-js2pu]

As an adolescent in the 60’s, I had a major crush on Lee Remick. I’m now 65, and to this day carry a torch for her. She was so beautiful ❤️

[@michaelratliff905]

Me too!., I was totally smitten by her...I guess I still am..😢💔

[@ThePiratemachine]

@@michaelratliff905 I've got the same problem with Vera Miles ( and Lee a close second )

[@Ishkaboobool]

I met her in the mid 1980s in New York on 3rd Avenue right at Bloomingdale's ,, , I approached her , told her how fond I have been of her acting, She was extremely nice and friendly .. asked e if I would like to walk with her and do some window shopping,, which I did, ,, this sweet hour has stayed with me and will for ever

I will always remember her in The Days of Wine and Roses. It took me a month to come out of depression after watching that movie. God Bless her, what a beautiful lady.

[@mckavitt13]

Your sincerity is as fine & touching as your voice. Many thanks, dear sir. You tell it so well. Lee Remick... RIP 🌷

[@chrissnuggs]

A moving tribute to a completely unforgettable lady and actress. For me, she was one of the few who mesmerised the screen, as did for example Ingrid Bergman. How sad to die so young.

[@rossanafioravanti8526]

thank you for this. she was my late dad's favorite actress. whenever she came on the screen my dad was really captured by her beauty. me and my sister used to giggle at him while my mum smiled with tenderness. ..thank you Lee you enlightened my family s old days. And now I have beautiful memories.

[@Brace67]

An excellent production by Mr. Skinner. Tastefully and intelligently done showcasing the life and career of the beautiful and talented Lee Remick.

[@2500grit]

I've always considered Lee Remick to be the prettiest actress in Hollywood

[@michaelcelani8325]

She "is" a doll !

Very well done..Lee Remick was one of my very favorites..and so beautiful.

[@JuanFernandez-jr2wz]

One of the most talented and sensitive actresses in the american movies. Lee Remick gave us wonderful performances but those who saw in "Days of wine and roses" can't forget her.

[@johnhorne2012]

I met this wonderful lady while she was filming in Fort Irwin, CA in 1978. I was a young MP from Massachusetts and volunteered to be an extra in this movie. Lee was a very charming, pleasant and very pretty lady with green eyes and a great smile. I spoke with her a few times at length and remember how caring and polite she was. She spoke of her father and the business back in Mass. and how she missed it at times. I was very lucky to have crossed paths with her,...God Rest her soul,............

[@patrickkobolt3069]

Cool! I also was once a young MP from MA. Nice story!!

[@fhpperkins2735]

Ill never forget hearing a recording of her singing Anyone Can Whistle. It was heartbreakingly beautiful, sweet and guileless. Lee had that sort of quality. Thanks for this fine biography Mr Skinner

[@BruceNitroxpro]

So touching, I almost broke down. I had no idea she went so young.

[@u.s.n.retired1995]

She was beautiful. The Days of Wine and Roses is one of my favorite movies to this day. She and Mr Lemon truly played their roles to perfection.

[@woodinhead62]

Couldn't agree more. Great & powerful classic!

[@cletusmcbride229]

All I can offer are more kudos. (Altho I did not know she died at 55...how?)

[@jrhamp]

I recall this film and as such I rarely if ever consume alcohol..so it goes for youth impact from a film..

[@svendbosanvovski4241]

Yeah. The quintessential American beauty. She was simply stunning in the Kazan movie, Wild River.

I agree with you 100%

[@latinaalma1947]

Such a lovely lady ...thank you for doing this...I knew she passed with cancer but did not know much about the end of her life. So sad to end that way....I saw "Days of Wine and Roses" as a teen with my father who was a heavy drinker and was I terrified of alcoholism forever afterwards. He died the same year he took me to see that movie.People used to tell me I looked alot like her in my 20's and 30's and I guess I did...same coloring and general size and facial features. I never knew whether my father TOOK me to see to see that movie as as a caution or not. Needless to say I have been very very careful of alcohol my entire life and have now lived to a fairly ripe old age myself and very happily too I might add. She meant alot in my life....

[@TheKRU251]

Thank you Jerry. You have a voice that seems to flow with the read text beautifully. We often 'lose' the stars from our memory and you have a way of reminding us of what became of these Super Stars that just fade from the spotlight.

[@buffalopatriot]

I had a job up in Vermont and some of the locals told me that Lee shot a film up there and in her spare time she would join a local sewing clutch where they made quilts for the shut in elderly. They described Lee as a normal, everyday regular person.

[@renataloren2384]

This beautiful lady and actress died too young. I loved her acting and loved all of her movies. You are truly missed Lee Remick Rest In Peace ❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘

[@jeffyork5766]

Thank you Jerry. I didn't know much about Ms. Remick when I was growing up. It wasn't until 'The Omen', which was the first time I saw her. But then my mother mentioned a few movies that she was in. I learned quite a bit about her from you. I'm going to be looking for some of her movies now. 'Days of Wine and Roses' most definitely. I hear the song on my Pandoras " Herb Alphert and the Tijuana Brass" station quiet frequently. Thank you again Mr. Skinner.

I always loved her performances. Thank you for a wonderful story of Lee Remick.

[@jonathanbarg7847]

A very complete bio of Lee. Thank you so much Jerry for including Bill Colleran, the father of her children. He did love her so. I had the honor of working with Bill in the late 70's and early 80's. I got to meet his son once as he visited his dad at the studio we were doing a taping at. And after I knew Bill for a while he shared with me the story about that fateful night of the car accident ( a Thunderbird I think it was) leaving the Frank Sinatra party and how life had changed over the years for him. One summer's day I rebuilt the carburetor of his Buick as he was short on cash and I wanted to learn all about TV from him - seemed like a good trade! Thanks too for the great archival photos of Lee with Bill and their kids. I lost track of Bill when I left 'the biz' so thank you for telling that part of the story!

[@JerrySkinner1943]

[@arthurskim7898]

I was born and raised in Quincy. The part when the narrator stated how she treated the people who worked at the department store and everyone else in Quincy was so true. I personally never met her, but her reputation was of the finest order.

She had far above average beauty. That, coupled with her smarts and good work ethic, is what truly made her a star. IMHO.

Wonderfully done. My mother had to take medicine that made her bloat too. So, sad, I still remember wanting to take my mother's picture and she just wouldn't have it. Her illness and medicine took my mother's wanting to live away. You did a great telling of her life and career and she would of been proud.

[@umedavk2011]

Thank you (once again) Jerry for a moving documentary. Lee was a beautiful and talented actress with the most gorgeous eyes. Appreciate all your work, Jerry : you give us senior movie-goers so many memories.

[@JonHeckendorf]

I grew up enjoying watching her on TV and in movies. I still enjoy watching her in reruns. She looked so natural in every role she played that I noticed her talent over her beauty. She was so beautiful too. I never heard about her battle with cancer and her untimely death. I will miss her. Rest In Peace, Lee Remick. You are loved by your fans.

[@walterwheeler5465]

An excellent, and I mean excellent overview of the life of Lee Remick. I remember her fine performance in "The Days of Wine and Roses," which I saw in early 1963 in a theater on Hollywood Boulevard. Years later I saw her on television in "An Anatomy of a Murder," and was very impressed with her performance.

[@flatbedbill]

With all the things going on in day-t-day life and the world situation goin to pieces it seems, I had forgotten about how absolutely beautiful Lee Remick was.

[@andrewbrendan1579]

I was very surprised to learn that Lee Remick was only 55 when she died, a year younger than I am now. Not young but far from old. Lee Remick seems to have been able to avoid the pinup girl phase some actresses, such as Marilyn Monroe, went through. Miss Remick had a distinctive classiness about her; someone once referred to her as "patrician" and I agree. You can tell she was made for excellent, serious acting work.

[@tiffsaver]

Lee had that "special" quality that made her beautiful, inside and out. My favorite pictures were "Wild River," "The Days of Wine and Roses," and "The Omen." I think she was often underrated.

[@Scottsteaux63]

One of the great actresses; she always made it look so easy (and perhaps for her it was). Plus she was drop dead gorgeous with the most striking blue eyes. I was a fan ever since I saw DAYS OF WINE AND ROSES on TV in the 1970s.

[@jimc6054]

I saw her in the pre-Broadway tryout of "Agnes of God" in Boston. (She was replaced before Broadway by Elizabeth Ashley). Having admired her for years, I went to the stage door after the performance. She was in her mid-late 40s at the time, and absolutely stunning. I awkwardly told her how much I always admired her work; she thanked me and signed my program (as did Geraldine Page and Amanda Plummer). I still have the program! Classy lady, great actress, and gone way too soon at age 55. Thankfully she lives on in film.
