It's strange how I'm entertained more by something made half a century before I was born than I am with anything on TV now. They were the first and the best.

[@jubalcalif9100]

What a delight to watch ! THANKS so much for sharing with us ! I'm glad it's in English with Dutch subtitles instead of the other way around ! Ms Laurel was a lovely lady and she seems very intelligent, articulate, kind & sweet ! I read online that she passed away in 2017. May she rest in eternal bliss ! :-)

She was the apple of her dads eye and boy he sure loved his only child. Oliver was a pal to the child and she adored him.

No one could ever take the duos place in antics. Thanks for the movies that have been restored, Stan and Laurel will never die.

[@bobbyfrancis8957]

Stan must've been very upset with the TV in the 1960s; the movie "Pack up your Troubles" I saw many times then, the 3 Bears story the little girl was telling - it took over 50 years for me to finally see the complete, restored version. And "Blockheads" (1938), it took over 30 years for me to see the complete version.

Stan is a Bishop Auckland lad. The house he lived in was on Princess Street, which has the blue plaque on the front door. Even his old school at Queens Way Bishop Auckland is still there, and it's just been renovated. The cinema his father managed is still there, and it's a museum now. And his statue stands on the corner of Newgate Street.

[@SWR112]

Stans Mother is buried about a mile from my house, South side of Glasgow Scotland. Just the other month I was standing at it while passing on a walk as the grave have been freshened up. Don’t know if Stan or any of his family ever visited his mothers gave but there it is.

[@Code3forever]

I knew Lois Laurel Brooks and her husband Rand Brooks. Rand Brooks opened and built up Professional Ambulance in Glendale in the 1960s. While working on the ambulance in the West Hollywood/Beverly Hills area in the 70s, I responded to Lois Laurel's mother's cottage in Beverly Hills when her oxygen system quit working. Rand Brooks was a good guy who also played in the movie Gone With The Wind and also starred in the 1950s series Rin Tin Tin. I believe they had a son who we called Randy but I believe he was Rand Jr. If I remember right, Rand and Lois divorced in the early to mid 70s... Trivia I know but when I met Lois once at the Professional Ambulance office, you could see she was Stan Laurel's daughter. I knew Rand better but they were both good people in my opinion.

[@melissacooper4482]

My favorite part of the interview was when Lois recalled how she was afraid of Oliver Hardy because she truly believed that he was really hurting her father. I also thought it was neat that somehow Stan figured it out and wrote a script where he got the upper hand! I'm glad that he was smart enough to help Lois stop being afraid of her "Uncle Babe"!

[@lornafleur123]

Melissa Cooper I was amazed at that though because Stan very often more than not CAUSED GREAT PAIN to Oliver !! Just by being 'himself ' lol !!!!

[@LGAussie]

Sooo kool !! I LOVE Stan Laurel. Soft, gentle man with gentle unique humor! I still dance like him to make kids laugh by raising my foot backwards and tapping my shoe! ha!! He danced like that and I’ve adopted it!! 🤣🤣

[@ChrisTCAP]

I remember watching a live interview with Louis about twenty years back. Remember getting a signed photo of her (sat on horse with Stan next to her). It was at a Helpmates convention in Kent - UK. That get together also has guests like Ernie Wise who I met and sold some memorabilia to his wife. Good times - good memories.

I love Laurel and Hardy. I will always have a soft spot for them in my heart. Not only because I enjoyed their movies, but I always think of my dad. He watched them with his dad when he was a kid. Just like how he introduced me to their films when I was a kid. I just watched the movie, Stan and Ollie. If it's true, then Stan especially was done a disservice. He wrote all of the scripts, produced them, and acted. It seems so unfair that he and Ollie or "Babe" didn't get paid for syndication. Maybe those were the days before actors received royalties for syndication. Still, what talented men they were. Ollie had such a beautiful voice and Stanley was such a comedic genius. I will always love them. 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖

[@jennifermasiello2128]

...I also can't believe that Stan Laurel was listed in the phone book. He was so kind and down to earth that he would invite his fans up for a cup of tea. I wish that I had been alive back then. What an honor it would be to spend some time with Stan Laurel. Sadly, little known by today's generation. However, great comedy never goes out of style.

It's very nteresting to here these reminiscences from Stan Laurels daughter.

[@notsosilentmajority1]

I have never met anyone that doesn't like Laurel and Hardy. As a kid I loved watching them as often as possible. My brothers and I would have a contest to see who could imitate Stan Laurel when he cried and pulled his hair up, etc.. It was always a lot of fun. Babes in Toyland used to be played every Thanksgiving and Christmas but it seems the last couple of years it's been hard to find, if it could be found on tv at all. We will never have any traditions in the US, the media and those controlling programming keep changing everything instead of giving us all something to share and enjoy in common.

[@rick12373]

You can pretty much find all of their stuff on KZbin now, not sure if you knew that. I imported the 20 DVD box set from the UK 15 years ago only to find that they ended up releasing it in the US anyway a few years later. I have since converted the DVDs to computer video files and have also searched the internet to fill in anything else that is missing from that. I think I now have everything they did together that is still know to exist on my computer. Nice!
