Maureen O'Sullivan Talks about Groucho Marx and Cheetah

[@bridget6224]

This is my grandma! She was the best of the best! She told me so many great stories growing up.. & she told me this so and I loved it so much. I get my sense of humor from her & I'm so glad. Miss her alot. She was truly an amazing woman! Loved her dearly!

[@ajolie1]

You were so fortunate 😊

[@MrSorted2]

I love that she kept her lovely Irish accent after all those years in Hollywood. A great example of an old Hollywood legend, beautiful, discreet and engaging.

[@TheGreatest1974]

And Maureen was so pretty she was even pretty in her old age! And no plastic surgery either!

[@dannymiller7880]

What a great interview what a very lovely humorous lady she is

[@darrellphilip3295]

I never get tired of hearing her talk on any subject. I could watch this a thousand times.

[@brookehenson6123]

She's such a charming story-teller! Thanks for sharing!

[@TheGreatest1974]

Maureen was the most beautiful Jane ever. ❤️🇬🇧

[@Celluloidwatcher]

Thanks for the video. The lovely Ms. O'Sullivan told a story of her MGM days as only she could. At 74 or 75, she hadn't lost the charm that endeared her to a generation of film goers. And, yes, she will always look hot in loincloth. I love her as Jane, the best one to play the role.

[@SSLand-rg5ow]

Mother of God! This took me unawares! What a lovely lady. I can't stop laughing.

[@Uncle.Jon.Easy.English]

Amazing interview, I remember watching it as a kid back when Letterman was funny, so happy to have a record of her memories!

[@wmden1]

Great post. Great content with Maureen O'Sullivan. I didn't know she had such a great sense of humor. Still beautiful. Outstanding.

[@edcampion3998]

Hilarious loved it.God she was gorgeous

[@TheGreatest1974]

When this was filmed, many don’t realise, but cheetah was still alive and well, and lived to be recorded as the oldest living primate ever. He died aged 80 years old!

[@Rodin99]

it's a shame that even since the eighties we've been losing all these story tellers.

[@TheGreatest1974]

And great legends like Maureen Ohara.

[@killerjoe5628]

Oh we have an entirely new generation of storytellers. Ms O'Hara may be gone, but today we have her daughter Mia Farrow to delight us with tales of how Woody Allen molested their seven year old daughter. Let's not forget the dashing exploits of Harvey Weinstein. The new golden age of Hollywood.

[@harleykingman]

THE BEST JANE EVER !!

[@charlesrobinson1637]

Maureem O'Sullivan will always be known as Jane and Mia Farrow mother but she made many films during Hollywoods golden age mostly at MGM a beautiful talented Actress

[@scienceofficer5473]

Saw this when it aired. The Cheeta story was hilarious.

[@Shabannie]

Thank you for posting this.

[@Zeppolino100]

She was ALWAYS a "hot ticket!"

[@MARCBSTN]

Love the sound of Maureen's silky voice.

[@paxguns]

She was something else.

[@karenmorente7589]

I never knew Maureen was so funny.

[@bridget6224]

My grandma was absolutely hilarious. Growing up listening to her stories was always a highlight of my life & to this day I'm still telling stories about her.

[@Gonkawonga]

an adorable charming western country lass

[@ainemcdonnelll]

She’s from Boyle in Ireland

[@gregorypierotti7331]

C'est de quelle Année ?

[@tanmarketingchannel3436]

Maureen O was a sexy actress - a full woman.

[@debra13]

not like all those "half-women" running around now! :-)

[@waynej2608]

She was a real cutie!

[@Countrygirltori24]

fantastic interview! Love her talking about Cheetah's physical reaction

[@TheWhoVault]

The Irish women rule!

[@lucky5853]

She's such a sweet lady ,I'm glad Dave didn't ask her about the elephant .

[@AceripXF]

1 morning i shot an elephanf in my pajammas how he got in my pajammas ill never know

[@ronniekahn6941]

Her looks & her manner & her smile are very much like her daughter Mia Farrow

[@mr.blackhawk142]

I just recently (Feb. 20,2019) read about Maureen marrying a Farrow and spawning Mia. It was in JW Jr's book about his dad.

[@waynej2608]

Better looking than Mia.

[@carpetmonk]

Cheeta has some stories about you too lady!

[@nocount1]

"The physical was pink" hahaha

[@waltermorris337]

A great lady……a true American Broad - in the best sense….

[@Flatwoodsdad]

I've been watching her play Jane for the last 2 nights. I haven't seen those old Tarzan movies since I was a kid. For me she is the only real Jane and Johnny Weissmuller the only real Tarzan. Was kinda worried before watching the first one that I'd feel let down. But it was great and like I said I've watch 4 so far and loved them all. I did notice her Jane outfit got a little longer as they went on.

[@lastoutlaw3882]

Agree

[@TMNigel]

Or maybe a bonus...classic!

[@Mernerwastaken]

no idea why this has ANY dislikes

[@lastoutlaw3882]

Although funny but she is talking wierd. First calling a chimp horrible and then calling it homosexual. It was a baby chimp

[@Darrell1019]

Such a swell Lady!

[@jennymendenhall10]

Maureen O’Sullivan was great!! Dave Letterman not so much. I’ve seen those movies & she’s really something. Monkeys can be scary so she’s pretty brave.

[@KidMillions]

Groucho was infatuated with her. He didn't try to make her laugh just to get her opinion on the jokes.

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales41]

Julius Henry Marx, más conocido como Groucho Marx (Nueva York, 2 de octubre de 1890-Los Ángeles, 19 de agosto de 1977), fue un actor, humorista y escritor estadounidense, conocido principalmente por ser uno de los miembros de los hermanos Marx. Es considerado el cómico más influyente de todos los tiempos, siendo sus frases, a pesar del paso del tiempo, destacadas en la cultura pop por generaciones, incluso en la época actual. Falleció en Los Ángeles a causa de una neumonía. Poco antes de morir, la Academia de Hollywood le había concedido un Óscar honorífico, en reconocimiento a toda su carrera cinematográfica.

[@DentalTech1000]

Great story. Too bad Dave couldn't get out of the way of it and let her tell it uninterrupted. This is not Dave at his best. He's acting more like Conan O'Brien here, who always has to bring the spotlight back to himself. Johnny Carson let the guests shine. He knew if they looked good, he looked good.

[@MsLilyhorse]

Only one Carson. The rest pale in comparison. Maureen was a real hottie in her day.

[@garybankston9319]

David Letterman was quite often a horses ass.

[@felixthelmocevallosmorales41]

Maureen O'Sullivan (Boyle, Roscommon, Irlanda, 17 de mayo de 1911-Scottsdale, Arizona, Estados Unidos, 23 de junio de 1998) fue una actriz irlandesa. Alcanzó popularidad interpretando el papel de Jane, la compañera de Tarzán, junto a Johnny Weissmüller.

[@jonathanwilkinson1461]

Lovely Roscommon Lady.

[@MapleSyrupPoet]

Davo: "One of those Tarzan movies?" 🎬 😁😃

[@sneadh1]

Cheetah got the hots for Tarzan!

[@jessicaroses1]

que mirada tan linda tenia cuando sonrie de perfil cierro mis ojos y veo a jean de joven

[@Deus-Too]

The part where she discovered that cheetah was homosexual, was hysterical! 👍

[@micpar2]

Poor Cheetah, he lived to be 80 years old too. 1931-2011.

[@jsmall10671]

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cheeta#Tony_Gentry's_Cheeta_hoax

[@lastoutlaw3882]

She was iconic jane. Although m not fond of jane character but she was nice.

[@marlborored100s]

Oh My...

[@dirkpitt466]

Miss letterman so much!

[@donvander7098]

Nuts

[@wholzman2]

Mia's Mother.

[@charleswinokoor6023]

“He used to bring me lunch instead of jokes.”

[@soylentteal]

She Jane. Groucho not Tarzan.

[@worthwords420]

There goes my thoughts about cheeta.........

[@sugarjoe50]

Mia Farrow's mother.

[@ahmedsenussi8232]

Never knew Cheeta was male

[@anissueofursincerity]

This clip is from the NBC days, when Letterman was funny.

[@torresfamily9728]

The purge the 5th

[@xo4812]

A horrible little creature called cheetah. Lol

[@kyleighgohsman1024]

she looks like 50

[@harlow743]

Lettermen is a VERY POOR interviewer

[@craigkdillon]

Wow, I didn't know so many people agreed with me that Letterman was a horrible interviewer. So many times he would ask a question, and then interrupt and never let the guest answer it. So incompetent. I do not understand how he was chosen, or kept the job. He must have had some hotel footage of NBC executives. It's the only explanation.

[@mr.blackhawk142]

TJB.

[@garybankston9319]

I've seen Terri Garr on Letterman's show a number of times and he was absolutely horrible to her. I have no idea why she appeared so many times or what he disliked about her.
