Sterling Hayden - Interview 1983, 1/2

[@njolnir]

One of the coolest video's on KZbin. Thanks for posting this.

[@mrkeyscolin]

What an honest man,a true actor.

[@noirstate]

This is great stuff, thank you so much for posting it!!! I said this in a comment on part 2 but I've been looking for the 1983 interview/ documentary about Hayden Leuchtturm des Chaos (Lighthouse of Chaos) for a long time now. This is the first similar interview I've come across, I only wish it was longer. Thank you for posting this!!!

[@tucker33ish]

I went to school with his daughter Gretchen, in Belvedere they lived in a mansion it seemed right out of Hollywood on Belvedere Island. He had kidnapped his kids and sailed to Tahiti with them right before that as I remember.

[@ginolight]

The first time I saw him with his scar... I thought "he is fantastic" I saw all his films. Great actor ! -Loved Sterling Hayden !

[@tapasitos]

THE MAN

[@i-a-g-r-e-e-----f-----jo--b]

Looks like Mr Hayden got in a fender bender, lol. Gotta love people like him! Merci!

[@ninelivecat]

Legend

[@mLi75]

part 2!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@jerrywarriner]

Hayden's house is in San Francisco, not Sausalito, which in Marin County, across the bay. I'd say it's easily worth a million-plus.

[@Chris-k9k9c]

I have a start on a beard like his. Need to expand side to side. Same color.

[@catmeowmeow8854]

What's his house address. Be cool to look up. Sutter st somewhere. Wonder if it still exists.

[@eddiebrown8549]

Think of Sterling Hayden compared to some of the entitled whiny wimps in the business today.

[@salutations5749]

It seems he damn near played himself in "Long Goodbye". Even his cadence and inflections in this interview mimic his role in the film.

[@richardwells3646]

He'd have been a great Quint in Jaws.

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

Hayden was the shit... AND...... pothead. 😎

[@JustSomeCanadianGuy]

He would have been the BEST FUCKING Captain Ahab!!!

[@andzzz2]

Great that he says 'I did a funny thing'.

[@redbeard36]

My dad was a Public relations man and he head a client who was a famous Clothes Seller who owned the building Hayden lived in. I was a kid and met him a couple of times as a kid and he was this wild looking old giant with a beard to me.

[@paddyotable]

I watched the Sterling Hayden documentary film Pharos of Chaos. Filmed aboard Sterling's barge in France. Pretty interesting.

[@DMalltheway]

Surprised he didn’t tell the interview to be careful with his precious bodily fluids.

[@overdriver9173]

Beautiful voice

[@stevenspenneberg7407]

He should’ve played Captain Ahab

[@gregcaspn]

Film noir great actor . Shit he was in the f ing GODFATHER amazing actor

[@RW4X4X3006]

Sterling is a poster for PTSD, for which there is no cure. Just gotta deal with it anyway you can. Damn, I love this guy and his craft!

[@ИгорьИжщенков]

Check out my recent upload of Sterling Hayden being interviewed

[@triumphmanful]

my mom was pregnant and went to see one of his movies . i never found out which one. she chose Hayden for my name, I look back and damn , how many similar steps and decisions i have made in my life just like he did. I did not even know what he had done till now as I look into his past ! Wow ! how scary for me ! I even look like him when we compare pictures. Now and when we were younger ! Love to watch his movies too. I even had a boat like he had. I was going to live on it but a storm took her down . He was a great actor even though he did not think he was . A real man to look up to and emulate !

[@mcultras]

Did you know your father?

[@albertducroq9141]

hello Philippe Garnier , good job ?

[@walkertongdee]

named names to Macarthy- squealer

[@davorpavlovic948]

I think he was one of ten greatest actors in movie history... but his work is forgotten...

[@baronzaebos8888]

I love the way he talks about Hollywood success like it was some stopgap. Some absurd thing he dallied with along the way so he could get on with doing the meaningful stuff of life.

[@TheHollywoodList]

THIS MAN JUST HELPED ME UNDERSTAND MY LIFE AND CAREER IN HOLLYWOOD.... I WORKED MY WAY TOP DOWN!

[@ahmedatef9407]

Unfortunatly i didnt know this guy

[@brakerbraker829]

one car passes by a deserted gas station...when Sausalito was still sleepy

[@greggnumme8644]

just for your information FYI he was on Sutter Street in San Francisco not Sausalito! I used to live in Sausalito with his son Dana. It even says Sutter on the side of the house when he walks up the stairs. San Francisco brother

[@limeginger]

where's Part 2???

[@sterlinghayden4096]

limeginger , I originally saw this interview included in the DVD of "The Killing. "

[@mikekallas4170]

Damn good actor!!!

[@irish66]

He says he's proud of his writing. if you ever read his book Wanderer, you will see he has every reason to be. i've always liked his acting too.

[@arricammarques1955]

Wanderer quite an illuminating read.

[@HarborGuy]

One of the best...

[@MrDts1907]

I watched him in Asphalt Jungle and I believe Sterling Hayden portrayed one of the best tough guys the cinema have ever seen. He is also amazing in the Godfather Part I as the corrupt police chief McCluskey. A great actor and a great man of virtues. Respect.

[@irish66]

I also thought thought, he was the best thing about The Long Goodbye/

[@heuwarrior]

This guy was an excellent actor.

[@exponedorderatas4410]

Yes he was, among the best that Hollywood had in those days. Today, Hollywood is a wasteland.

[@bigal15100]

i watch sterling nearly every night in a film called deadly strangers 1974 it was made in england and i really did nt know much about sterling until i looked him up on you yube and to my amazement he's had a really huge acting career i also found out alot about his life what other fantastic films that he has done in his career and his brilliant writing skills as an auther has written some damn fine books and i never knew he starred in the godfather just sublime getting back to the film deadly stangers i love the film so much because it takes you back to the old values that this country once had all the old petrol stations you can see in the film the old road side cafes the old cars and lorrys even the old money pound notes witch were great back then sadly all gone now but at least i can watch this film and look back at the nostalga would also like to point out great acting from simon ward and hayley mills just magic also the moter bikes the young lads were riding takes me back to my youth i was 17 in 1982 and rode around with all my mates who also had moterblkes we used to go everywhere all 20 of us so this film is very iconic to me thanks for bringing me a little bit of my youth back rip sterling

[@stevebailey5591]

You watch Deadly Strangers every night?

[@rampageclover9788]

6 foot 5 inches of pure old-school masculinity. Rest in peace big man

[@poche660]

He was an individual and his own man.

[@dylansugg9690]

hmmmmm?

[@Hovercars1]

Did he ever play Abraham Lincoln?

[@rampageclover9788]

I was just thinking that. He would have killed it...

[@rampageclover9788]

Had the height for it. Daniel Day Lewis had to wear lifts

[@iorioriorio]

Wow....the effects of all that acid use are really becoming appparant...apppaaaarrrrent....ah, appp...".big picturrrr called virginia,, hmmm?""

[@TheHollywoodList]

LMAO!!! They ALL spoke that way!

[@woodyobi]

Pta sent me here

[@chopyourdollar]

Thanks PT Anderson! Classic interview.

[@android11]

where's part 2?

[@ChadPlainview_]

Paul Thomas Anderson.

[@jannsse]

I'm here for the exact same reason. Great interview!

[@josephpetrick4656]

haha- me too!

[@4000Wiggins]

Same here! ha! I also went and read the old Rolling Stone article about John Holmes and Eddie Nash. Great read.

[@ChadPlainview_]

4000Wiggins PTA freaks. :)

[@tagentbord]

lol

[@tatianapulliam2391]

I've heard alot about my great grandpa Sterling but unfortunately never got to meet him. I was born in 84 to his grand daughter Heidi. I love watching his films and interviews. I wish I could have met him before he passed. I'll always love you grandpa Sterling all though I've never met you these interviews and movies let me know the kind of man you were.

[@Medvetz63]

I couldn't agree more. Hollywood's best years, in my opinion, was from 1950 to 1965, although there were many great movies made before 1950, and a few after 1975. But to me, the 1950s was when the best movies were made, and it was when Sterling Hayden's best movies were made.

[@troglodytefilms]

Facts are as good as the people interpreting them ... we all know the Reds were trying to get their feetheld in the gold ... just like us ... and that the love of gold is at the roots of evil ... it's important to pursue life, liberty and justice in the name of all Chamisa-Ville, not just our hefty portion of it ... McCarthy was a bully and tried to do the right thing but was woefully inadequate once the fame and power wen to his tiny little head ... calling anyone names is counterproductive.

[@johnjacobjingleheimerschmi288]

He may have hated naming names but the Venona papers proved that McArthy was right all along. I know the "Progressives" were great at lying for 50 years but as we all know, it's hard to defend against a liar, maybe another hint from the book of Saul Alinsky. I'm sure he hated doing it and I believe he was a good man who did not want to hurt his friends regardless of what they were up to but "facts are stubborn things"

[@troglodytefilms]

Also, he was ashamed of naming names during the McCarthy hearings ... it's the only time I saw a real tear of regret on the man's face and I knew him for two years ... we all make mistakes ... forgivenforgetaboutit.

[@vitordragon]

I can imagine his pain and regret...

[@salutations5749]

Ya cant blame him though, being a Vet and all. Those were crazy times.

[@troglodytefilms]

Sterling's motto -" F___ 'em all!"

[@troglodytefilms]

He WAS fond of herb/hash. Helped reduce his pain. I was lucky enough to hang out with him on THAT balcony in 85 & met Andrew & Ms. Catherine. I worked at the gas station in the background. He was bigger than life. I'll never forget the day he drove that Karmann Ghia in for a fill-up ... I asked him if he'd do me a favor & he looked down his nose, like, "What do you want from me you little ..." but when I asked him to autograph my copy of THE WANDERER, he melted & invited me up for "tea"=Aquavit.

[@irish66]

4 years later, it's still here.

[@LCCRJB21]

Man is he awesome !!! This guy could be Bogie's son...

[@Dagarvs]

upload time can take years..

[@MrDrewlips]

he took a toke off a joint. he loved weed.

[@Leadhead444]

I love how he ends every single sentence with hmmm lol

[@triumphmanful]

he said " EH ? " a lot of the time ! Sounded like a canadian .

[@poche660]

My father did that. Seems like a generational thing.

[@marcsmirnoff936]

@@poche660 That your father also made that distinctive sound is likely a coincidence, rather than evidence of a generational trait. Evidence: The countless KZbin videos of speakers from that generation not making that sound while they speak. (My own father, born in 1921, also didn't make that sound, if we want to keep it personal.)

[@professorthumbscrew]

hes smoking a joint! Good for him!

[@DCFunBud]

Great interview!

[@BlackenedForLife]

WHERE IS PART FUCKING TWO? Great, honest man.

[@Hemulen40]

`Voyage´ is a future classic , no hell, it IS a classic :READ IT !

[@NickJaffe]

@helmuthoorn Really? I have that book, but, I'm scared of reading it after Wanderer, in case it isn't as extraordinary...

[@greggnumme8644]

Read the book! You won't be disappointed only disappointed that he didn't write more...

[@goback3spaces]

I used to think that any movie with Sterling Hayden was worth seeing at least once. Then I saw JOHNNY GUITAR.

[@portland9880]

Then you realized they're worth seeing at least twice

[@joeyxl3456]

great stuff, type in his name into google and read the paragraph from his book on his page in wikipaedia, truely extraordinary and inspirational.
