SYLVIA SIDNEY INTERVIEW

[@guruuDev]

Just saw Street Scene! What a great movie and what a great actress! As a romantic leading lady, she always knocks me out.

[@StormEKnight4]

My fave actress and one of the most under-rated.

[@FutureLegendRecords]

Sharp & still sexy and a great character and such an advanced age, star quality is ageless!

[@puff000100]

She had me in stitches!!!, Hilarious just being herself!

[@amolerlivrosdetudo3146]

She was a wonderful actress. My favorite movie is Madame Butterfly (1932) and Sylvia Sidney acted as Cho-Cho-San. Sylvia Sydney was 22 years old when she acted as Madame Butterfly in 1932. Rest in peace Madame Butterfly! Rest in peace Sylvia Sidney!

[@louanne801]

I think that she was very beautiful, a cross between Gene Tierney and Bette Davis. One comment can really ruin someone for life!

[@stevenlennon12]

this is a great interview..she's sharp and honest,and has a fearless quality

[@MrMinieball]

I wonder, if you could have shown the 1936 Sylvia Sidney this video of when she was 88, what would she have thought.

[@girlonfire981]

makes Bette Davis look like a newborn kitten !

[@angelahartman7677]

Girl On Fire so true

[@fanboy2015]

Bennett Cerf couldn't handle her!

[@UltraCinemaScope70]

I love SS but what a royal PITA she was in the interview. The interviewer deserved 3 medals for the effort.

[@angelahartman7677]

She reminds me of Bettie Davis

[@robertkahan3826]

Watched this again. What was with the set-up. She obviously had hearing problems here so why are they seated so far apart? And why was the monitor set up so she couldn't see the clips?!

[@rossharmonics]

As a kid, she was in my great aunt's acting class in NYC>

[@erinmefford8041]

rossharmonics really that's cool Sylvia was a great actress I loved her in dead end I watched it this morning on tcm seen the movie quite a few times it's a good movie

[@reddinglady]

Boy she was a handful.....〽️📽

[@Ruby20111000]

I love her as an actress, she was so beautiful, but really why so rude? Gals were a lot tougher in her day.

[@michaelbarnhart2593]

I saw a movie with her this morning from 1935. A beautiful speaking voice. Listening to her now, all I can think about is DAMN CIGARETTES! So wasteful a habit.

[@chayashalom2065]

+Michael Barnhart I hate those damn death sticks, too. they killed so many loved ones.

[@2009framat]

+Michael Barnhart People with throat cancer sound like this even if they never smoked. She died less than a year later.

[@elchoya100]

boy,what a boring interviewer.boring audience too!.Sidney is wonderful by the way.

[@lisaaugustin3223]

Hollywood is so mean !!! If they brand a person as ugly the star wont get treated right ,

[@ShawnPlusOne]

Wow

[@sweetjudy7192]

The audience was very very rude ... they did not pay her the respect that she deserves

[@theuofc]

I admire Ms. Sydney as an actress, always have. But she's turned into a nasty, rude person. And why? It's almost as though she's using age to be rude and get back at earlier slights, etc. I couldn't listen to her to the end.

[@gregrak9389]

This interviewer clearly had "no balls," he was complete "putty" in Sylvia Sidney's hands, he allowed her to control the entire interview, a fatal mistake most interviewers do, especially those who are in "awe" of their subjects.

[@robertkahan3826]

What year was this?

[@HunterHusnay]

Does she talk about Beetlejuice in this

[@robertkahan3826]

From a comment here, I guess this was 1989 or thereabouts.

[@danielstanwyck2812]

She's a bit much. Nervous? Unused to such a format, or acknowledgement or acclaim? Might she have been a bit tipsy? Or just an unpleasant woman, whose fame was long gone and was never acknowledged appropriately or sufficiently enough in her prime.

[@2009framat]

+daniel stanwyck She was 88 and old people (even non-actors and non-celebrities) are getting easier annoyed if things do not go their usual (or exspected) way. The Club was proably not around the corner of her home and she was not iunterviewed every week or month anymore. She proably had hearing problems,too. So do not compare her to somebody who is even 75 and healthy. Yes I agree with you she could have been nicer to an interviewer who was interested in her work of art.

[@cmcb09]

She was a spitfire, it was her personality. Liked to shock people, that's probably what kept her alive for so long. Got her through her various health struggles.

[@erinmefford8041]

Chris Johnson she was a great actress also I love your channel I am one of your subscribers
