Maureen Stapleton--1979 TV Interview, Carroll O'Connor, Monti Rock III

[@annewrenn5014]

Maureen was one terrific actress. She clearly was a down to earth human being. Wonderful to watch this.

[@RebelBuddha1971]

She absolutely was a terrific comedic and dramatic actress. Her performance in Interiors was wonderful, and her cameo in The Money Pit is absolutely hilarious.

[@kallen868]

Wonderful actress! Loved her sassy attitude in The Fan with Lauren Bacall. Great late night popcorn flick!🍿

[@grantkoeller8911]

She is 54 here for this 1979 interview ....born in 1925, graduated high school class of 1943

I thoroughly enjoyed Maureen Stapleton and Charles Durning in Queen of the Stardust Ballroom!

[@EdgcumbeCorgis]

Maureen NEVER gave a bad performance.

[@GingerHey]

Talented actress, and sweet and cute interview..enjoyed Carroll O'Connor also.. Thanks

Even though Ms. Stapleton had a very well-respected film career, if it hadn't been for the fear of flying, and she'd been able to travel to Hollywood more frequently, I can imagine what other film roles she might have been cast in. .....I wonder if Maureen and Carroll ever appeared together in a play, since he'd been a prolific New York stage actor prior to "All In the Family".

Natural comedic timing.

This was just after she was Oscar nominated for Interiors- which she should have won for.

She had quite a bit of phobias, including flying and elevators.

Interesting having Maureen sitting next to Carroll O'Connor, whose "All in the Family" co-star Jean Stapleton was NOT related to Maureen.

[@jnadle1]

That's because Jean's last name was Murray, but she wound up taking her mother's original last name of Stapleton.

[@mthivier]

What they did have in common was that they were both absurdly talented, amazing actresses.

[@alvinignatius4983]

Nice and talented as actress

[@tvtimetravel]

I once saw a Jeopardy episode where they had a category devoted to Maureen, and the first clue chosen was about Jean, and the first contestant incorrectly responded, "Who is Edith Stapleton?".

[@DrummingMan1]

Nice but why cut off Eddie Money! Ha ha ha

[@kolsiewicz]

Probably copyright issues.

[@aeichler]

I only recorded Maureen back then on an old beta machine.
