The daughter did a good job helping him out with the interview

[@gabelogan5877]

I think that’s why she’s there. He’s an older gentlemen who probably doesn’t do a lot of interview. She knows when to let him to talk or where to direct the flow of conversation so he doesn’t ramble.

[@florencedelvalle8145]

Lovely to see the great relationship she has with her parents. I loved Russ as Riff in West Side Story.👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽🥰🥰🌹🌹

[@meman6964]

She was rude, interrupting when Russ spoke

[@carolynturk-hu7je]

Russ Tamblyn is an icon! ❤

[@Juliaflo]

Would you believe that he will be 90 in December?

[@theoriginalmr.j1422]

Where's the Gold Medals ?😊

[@theoriginalmr.j1422]

His athleticism was phenomenal. I can't the Nicholas Brothers too.

[@marksanders1301]

Russ Tamblyn is an icon! Good to see him around. He must be nearly 90. ❤️

[@Juliaflo]

He will be 90 in December.

I have always been a huge fan of Amber Tamblyn! I don't know as much about her father tho, even tho he's closer to my age. But Amber needs another SERIES!

[@kyllancarrington]

God was showing off when Russ was made. Russ and his Daughter Amber are both Joyous and Incandescent which is a truly brilliant way to Traverse Life. I Loved this interview, my Gratitude. Australia. ❤❤

[@deanbarnette1602]

This man has had an amazing career dancing & acting.. 💜👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

[@Shea3224]

Growing up, I Loved watching Amber in "Joan Of Arcadia," "Sisterhood Of The Traveling Pants, 1& 2" So many. I still love watching them even today. She was like my Whole Childhood, teen years, & young adult years. Gosh, I JUST FREAKING LOVE HER SO MUCH!! 🥰💜💜

[@mkleejr34]

General Hospital she always be OG Emily Quartermine to me.

[@lisalivingston6473]

@S.Shea2432 I loved Amber in the tv series "The Unusuals" with Jeremy Renner and was sad it only ran for one season.

[@kellyeggers2720]

Joan of Arcadia is such a great series. Wish they would bring it back!❤

[@SamanthaDiane]

IDK if you already know this, but her dad actually played God in 3 episodes. I always thought that was pretty cool. 🙂 I grew up loving amber, too.

[@kellyeggers2720]

@@SamanthaDiane Yes! He was dog walker God I think.♥️

[@xaviotesharris891]

Oh, I had such a crush on Russ Tamblyn.

[@OriginalCaliKitty]

I saw him in Tom Thumb when I was a little kid and had a big crush on him, too. And then when I saw him in WSS (I was in junior high by then) I fell in love with him all over again. He's always seemed, at least in interviews, to be a pretty genial, humorous guy and I've never heard or read anything bad about him. He's obviously enjoyed a wonderful home life in the past four decades - maybe that's the reason.

[@batgurrl]

West Side Story remains one of my favorite musicals of all. It’s wonderful seeing him again and I loved how he gave credit to acrabatics. His Elvis Story was absolutely amazing

[@MCMNasty2]

Amber is accomplished in her own right. What a great family. ❤

[@dennybaker3864]

I loved watching Russ Tamblyn, Seven Brides for Seven Brothers was one of my favorite movies well into my 30's. I introduced it to my girls, they were fans as well.

[@Shea3224]

I cried during this interview. My Granny was a HUGE fan of Russ. & I Love Amber!! Truth be told, My Granny LOVED them both, I LOVE them both also!! I really wish She could've been with Me to see this interview. 💔 Especially for the part about Elvis!! Ofcourse, She LOVED him, & I do as well!! 🤣😍💜💜

[@lpgilber]

I didn't know Amber comes from an acting family. I love her acting and want to see her in so many more productions.

[@lashendawest7509]

We love russ and amber tamblyn

[@chrisd.8694]

He's amazing. Thank you Russ!

[@kellyeggers2720]

Icon.❤. He also clearly has a loving family. Bravo Russ❤

[@megalon73]

I always knew about Russ Tamblyn. From both “The Haunting” (1963) and “War of the Gargantuan” (1966). Those movies are some of his best movies that nobody seems to talk about more!

[@BroadwayBabyyy744]

Double Legends. Love them both!!!! I must must must neeeedddd this memoir!!!!

[@Chaiandcookies3412]

I had a crush on Riff in West Side Story even though it was way before my time. Such a great actor and he used to be so hot!

[@barbaraobach]

For a 90 yr old, you can still seem some cuteness in him

[@batgurrl]

Amber is a lucky woman and has led a blessed life. I love her positive energy ❤️

[@1Kaileegirl]

Wonderful interview ladies with the great and talented Russ It was a pleasure to listen to him and his daughter

[@LawrenceGottlieb]

Whoopi understands that a 90 y/o man might have some memory issues. She is a beautiful soul

[@kellyeggers2720]

I so agree. She’s an icon as well ❤

[@wezie13]

Love Russ!,

[@mikelkirby2791]

Mr. Tamblyn is an "Elder statesman" who is multi-talented. I wish they had shown some of his Fine art although I did enjoy the movie clips.

[@Ron71997]

Russ is a real legend - how long has he been in Hollywood?? The guy is a great artist, dancer and even if I can say an athlete.

[@OriginalCaliKitty]

Well, he's 89 now and started when he was 10, so 79 years! I agree that, along with everything else, he's an athlete. After he stepped back from acting (before he returned in Twin Peaks) he ran his own gymnastics school for a while in my area.

[@darlawest9444]

I Love it!! She's feeding her Dad edibles!! 😂😂😂❤❤❤ Love them both but always have loved Russ in all his movies!!

[@christinamellow9824]

When I was a small child, there was a man who sent us Christmas cards every year; he was a cartoonist and his name was Bud Tamblyn. I wonder if they were related?

[@pauldecroix4567]

Wasn't Amber on "General Hospital" I think? Her dad seems out of it. Aging sucks!

[@gregXxo]

Yep, that's where she got her start

[@mattklinghamer370]

She was also on House for a few seasons.

[@JennyMack]

That's where I knew her from

Ciao Gideone non so se leggerai ma vogliamo scriverti lo stesso, eravamo bambini del circo quando abbiamo visto il film 7spose per 7 fratelli e ci è piaciuto tantissimo, che subito abbiamo cominciato a giocare come il film, io ero Milly le mie amiche una Lisa laltra Alice mia sorella Dora e così via ,e così abbiamo giocato per tantissimo anni a imitare i vostri balli bellissimi, e ancora adesso quando ci parliamo ci chiamiamo a volte come nel film che avremo visto più più di 100 volte e non solo noi anche i nostri figli, vogliamo dirti che noi siamo stati felici giocare cosi ,e vi ringraziamo tanto

[@user-er3ri6sc3j]

Ballet and acrobatics are different and separate. I think dancing is always on your feet. Russ outlive Elvis by more than twice.

as you say, dancing and acrobatics are two different things. he's done both.

How can you talk to Russ Tamblyn and not ask about Tom Thumb? That was a classic and won an Academy Award for special effects. What a failed interview.

[@VivKittie32]

It’s the View. What did you expect? I know.. what about Russ in The Haunting from 1963? He was a breath of fresh air in that. Although it’s nice not to hear them talk about politics at all.
