Rare Sterling Hayden Interview - 1970

[@WalkerKlondyke]

Clearly this man has maintained the purity of ALL his precious bodily fluids. A true inspiration.

[@ZilogBob]

And that's despite the commies putting their fluoridation in the water!

[@ColinOYoung]

I speak French as badly as him. and I've lived in Paris for 13 years.

[@WintersWar]

This man's candidness in every interview I've seen is stunning. an open book, no pretense.

[@goldenboy7819]

Always like him as an actor. Something very real, authentic, adverage man, no crap kind of guy.

[@JamesBond-uz2dm]

Before acting, as a young man, he was a commercial fisherman out of Gloucester, Massachusetts. Going offshore, into the North Atlantic, takes some courage. He fell in love with sea then.

[@irish66]

Yep. Fascinating man. I read Wanderer. A great read.

[@fabiengerard8142]

👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼

[@philgray1023]

A big take away I got from the book. If you are in a meeting with a person or group and it is contentious. Just look at them directly and think 'fuck you'. Don't say it. They'll get the message. I did exactly that when facing off to a head of another department. His confident demeanor did not last long. I have Sterling to thank for that.

[@debraday9898]

Sterling was a real man. There is so much about him on u tube!

[@geraldjohnson4013]

Sterling Hayden was a United States Marine assigned to the OSS. He has an extremely impressive war record.

[@PerryCoxPF93]

Yup, fought with the communist partisans in Yugoslavia. Motivated him to be a communist stateside.

[@m.gendron9966]

@@PerryCoxPF93 Not a communist but a non conformist. He saw threw everything (government, Hollywood, etc) he was agnostic too.

[@PerryCoxPF93]

@@m.gendron9966 he did literally join the CPUSA after the war Then cooperated with the HUAC against communists in the film industry. Something he regretted the rest of his life according to interviews and writings he did.

[@varvarvarvarvarvar]

@@PerryCoxPF93 You can never be sure with spies, they're good actors. And he is even literally an actor. Snitching is one the main trades of a spy.

[@vitordragon]

I´ve just read his bio, by Lee Mandel, and I admire him even more after that. Sterling Hayden was a man of many lives and I wish I could have known him. Thanks for everything, Sterling! I love you!

[@rudybishop9089]

I’m from Sausalito and hear many a story - sail a wreck from s.f. to the South Pacific and back in the late 50’s was badass - in his book he talks about being on watch at night and how even in calm seas look out and pay attention because someone else out there may need your help - good advice

[@zcosmos9]

His autobiography " Vale, Wanderer" mentions Sausalito

[@richardraymond878]

Here's more interviews kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5rRgp2oopeppLs

[@robertthomas2942]

I am fascinated with his life. He did so much, lived and unbelievably full life. His answer to most was a big middle finger, he did what he wanted on his terms. One of the last real men.

[@kevinhenderson7742]

Absolutely brilliant. Thank you.

[@scottrooney8954]

Fascinating man RIP

[@robready3690]

"America's very sick as we all know." Sterling Hayden

[@arricammarques1955]

Spot on observation, sadly.

[@carlorocky]

A very profound observation. Typically, without proper treatment, sickness’s tend to get progressively worse over time. 5/18/2022.

[@johndamato-xg9sv]

Fluoridation!!

[@lawrencew3703]

I would have loved to have had a drink or 10 with him and simply LISTENED

[@andynixon2820]

When you are a real man Hollywood is ker rap..a wimps game...this man was the real deal.

[@770WT]

A good example for you .

[@davidodan2543]

I think Sterling just acted to finance his sailing. He was quite a guy.

[@legalmexican]

He said as much.

[@tiffsaver]

WOW. What a great interview!! I just read up about the man, and he actually won the Silver Star for bravery in WWII. That's the highest military award for valor on earth. I LOVED him in Dr. Strangelove, the performance of a lifetime. I'd have loved to have a drink of bourbon and rainwater with him, that's for sure:)

[@richardraymond878]

More on him kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5rRgp2oopeppLs

[@ds1868]

The highest award for Valor on earth is the Victoria Cross, followed by the George Cross.

[@tobeornottobe1056]

Not the higher in the US, the Medal of Honors is higher but the Silver Star is up there. He also won three Bronze Stars which means that he's an authentic hero. Even one Bronze Star makes you stand out.

[@tiffsaver]

@@tobeornottobe1056 My dad won the Bronze Star in France during WWII.

[@tiffsaver]

@@tobeornottobe1056 Personally, I think the difference between these awards for valor are kind of insignificant, really. They're all heroes to me.

[@fabiengerard8142]

There’s another wonderful interview with him in Gianni Amelio’s documentary, ‘Bertolucci secondo il cinema’, entirely filmed on the 1974 set of the Italian epic ‘1900’.

[@mortalclown3812]

Thank you ~

I can see why Hayden was Steven Spielbergs original choice to play Quint in Jaws. He would have been perfect for that role.

[@richardmcleod5967]

I wonder where he picked up that "Huh" and other such interruptions he give out when speaking?

[@richardmcleod5967]

@Rex Jolles So that what to me is a strange vocalization between words is typical of Canadians when they speak?

[@arricammarques1955]

It's also a European thing, conversationally speaking.

[@jackwoods9604]

Many Actors are Very Uncomfortable Watching Themselves on Screen and Many Think They are Not That Good...Rest of The World Claims to Differ...We LIKE What We See of Hayden on Screen...LOVED His Role in Johnny Guitar

[@m.asquino7403]

POE, Purity Of Essence

[@magnus9165]

His voice reminds me of Burt Lancaster.

[@winstonsmith8240]

For someone who "wasn't an actor" he was brilliant in Dr Strangelove and The Godfather, and The Concrete Jungle is a classic. Seems like the kind of guy I'd have gladly had a beer with. That's how I judge someone. Rip. " I started at the top and worked my way down." 😂 Orson Wells once said; "I started with Citizen Kane and ended doing Sherry commercials. " You were in good company sir.

[@tobeornottobe1056]

OSS/CIA guy in Yugoslavia during WWII...in case you were wondering what he was doing in Yugoslavia and learning French from some doctor.

[@brunojm7282]

Great seaman

[@Guminyourhair]

I have the feeling he and Hunter Thompson would have a good old time....

[@appletongallery]

I like the little reveal in the Kubrick movie about putting Fluoride in the water system starting in 1946. In case you didn’t know Fluoride is bad shit.

[@mortalclown3812]

🤦

Poison

[@fu6817]

-"When did you started acting?" -"1940." -"After the war?" -"No, 40." Funny because the war ended for France in 1940.

[@arricammarques1955]

WW2 1940-1945

[@carlorocky]

WW2 started September 1-1939 and ended September 2-1945. If it is a historical fact, then it must be accurate and remain unchanged forever.

[@jefflyon2020]

I always liked this guys acting,but never knew a thing about him. There are no documentaries about him that I can find.heard he was one of the first batch of early commandos or green berets or something?

[@polsterboy]

There is great and devastatingly sad documentary about him called 'Pharos of Chaos'. I think it is on the bonus material Criterion's 'The Asphalt Jungle' release. It's also available as a bluray in Australia.

[@None-zc5vg]

Read his autobiographical book "Wanderer" (1963).

If you dont try you cannot fail! I went to sea like Sterling, the sea changes your perspective and yes were a different breed for sure! Im not one for Zodiacs but Im will to bet hes a Scorpio born in October same as me.

[@thegrievancegordieshow9882]

He was imitating Herman Melville by going to Tahiti and writing a book Which is why my writing is a cross between Harvey Pekar and Jack Kerouac

[@mortalclown3812]

I don't think he did impressions of anyone.

[@downhilltwofour0082]

He was (apparently) only 54 year sold in this interview. He died in 1986 at the age of 70. He looked pretty rough for that age.

[@luvveyduvvey]

That's true, he spent a lot of time at sea exposed to the sun and wind. I think that probably contributed

[@None-zc5vg]

@@luvveyduvvey He was an alcoholic.

[@christhomas5761]

I think it`s just the long white beard that makes him look older but other than that his face and physique looks like many other 50+ aging men......He was a rugged man, allowed himself to age naturally and by this point he was just enjoying life on his own terms.

[@mortalclown3812]

Too young. And the smoking didn't help.

[@pipeandslippersman]

stoned. to. the. bone!

[@lindypollard]

He was an admitted alcoholic and hashish lover.

This is a better alt ending for the movie “the killing”

[@m.gendron9966]

Which movie did he say in the interview that he like the most? "Sweet _____"??? (Could not make out what he said).

[@evepeabody4738]

Timestamp?

[@fabiengerard8142]

* Ruy Guera’s ‘Sweet Hunters’, in which he was co-starring with Stuart Whitman. A quite fascinating achievement that I was lucky enough to see at the time. After this interview, he essentially played the paesant patriarch in the Bertolucci historical epic ‘1900’, alongside Burt Lancaster, De Niro, Sutherland, etc., and also the old suicidal writer in Bob Altman’s ‘The Long Goodbye’, beside Elliott Gould as Philip Marlow. Both remarkable movies too.

[@Gator1699]

Tough Dude clearly.
