The Tragic Life Story and Sad Final Years Of Burt Lancaster

[@tancreddehauteville764]

One of the greatest actors of the 50s, 60s and 70s. A true star and a Hollywood legend - he will never be forgotten.

Truly a one - of - a - kind Human Being, Actor, Friend. He used his celebrity to help those less fortunate. Today it's impossible for many people to define what a man or a woman is... I will just say here + now... What A MAN!

[@IvanRodriguez-hl4pg]

Burt's handshake is my most prized possession. I met him in NYC when he was accepting a track and field award from NYU for his late brother. It was in the early 90's and he looked as good as he did in his films.

What a actor and a handsome man he was loved all his film actor

[@margaretcastell9429]

As a 12 year old schoolgirl he was my big crush. Seeing him in The Crimson Pirate did it! I was a big fan writing to him regularly for autographed photos. I saw most of his films, a great actor. Atlantic City was a favorite. I believe Local Hero, a charming Scottish film was his last film. He was a gorgeous man and no wonder women fell for him. Plus his acting talent. The Sweet Smell of Success showed his versatility. Where are the manly male stars these days?

[@nicolelillis2077]

Nope, I have to disagree with you.! Burt lived his dynamic, exciting life at full tilt. There was nothing sad or tragic about it. His health problems in old age were awful, but many of us may experience bad things towards the end...

I'm not aware Burt Lancaster had a tragic life - more the complete opposite. Sure he got older and had health problems as most people do but that hardly warrants the title of this video.

[@mdteletom1288]

Have any of you seem The Swimmer? It was my brother's favorite film with Lancaster and an off beat role for him.

[@nicolelillis2077]

Yes! Burt was absolutely brilliant in The Swimmer. It's also one of my faves. He played such a powerful, self-assured character, early in the film. Yet, as he realised it was all a facade and people pitied him, his life unravelled. To then watch him become a broken, alienated man was devastating. The only actor worthy of that role was Burt Lancaster. He was also in his mid fifties and still looked super fit and gorgeous. It's one of the most underrated films of all time!

[@cosmicman621]

Yes I've seen the swimmer a few times it's a very good film, l like the part where he's telling his friends his plan to swim his way home, he was a great actor.

[@nicolelillis2077]

@@6lr6ak6 Yes! It's unique in the way the swimming pools 'tie' the whole film plot together. As Ned takes a dip in each neighbour's pool, back to his home, that pool represents a part of his past. When he gets closer to home, his life implodes. He finally remembers his past. I've never seen a movie quite like this.

[@nicolelillis2077]

@@cosmicman621 I'm sure you'll find this film fascinating! It's the kind of unique, but troubling film that stays with you. It's also ahead of it's time, the way it showed mental health issues. Without the usual subtlety of a 1960's film. I find it so haunting, yet brilliant.

[@elijahskyeagle5651]

If I was down just watch Burt Lancaster immediate happiness

[@barrygioportmorien1]

Burt is my favourite actor of all time. Although he was not considered as a western actor, he made a number of them, and every one of them were above average. Even as being a John Wayne fan to me, Burt's westerns had a quality that in my humble opinion, rose above most other westerns through the years. I notice here, these movies are not even mentioned, it's such a shame.

[@leoinsf]

There was always an "authority" about Burt's acting. There was nothing "small" about Burt and his first movie: "The Killers" shows this. His film history shows this "authority" getting stronger and a movie such as "Birdman of Alcatraz" shows it in spades. No little man, his European films shows his comfort in playing with authority. "Atlantic City," while a small movie, he is radiant in it!

[@redblade8160]

[@stevefarris9433]

I watched so many of his movies I can't remember all of them. Since I am a classic western fan I rate those movies a 15 on a 1 to 10 scale. Lawman, Valdez is coming, Vera Cruz, Kentuckian, and so many more. I think he lived a good life and just like me at 85 and other old men we struggle with the disease of old age. Not so tragic, just life.

Seven Days in May is one of my favorite movies. I don't know why it disappeared for so many years, but it shows up on TV now and then. I don't know how these biographies are made, but it seems like the narrators are reading from a script that they have never seen before! The syntax is terrible.

[@deanronson6331]

It's loo-KEE-noh Visconti, not loo-CHEE-noh. I wouldn't exactly call Burt's life tragic. Here's a Hollywood star of amazing acting ability, whose excellent career was impaired by illness only towards the end of his life. This has happened to countless other actors and has to do with a genetic roll of the dice rather than tragic circumstances. He will forever remain in the pantheon of the world's major movie actors, which is a kind of immortality one can hope for but few achieve. By comparison, Liz Taylor, who suffered from all kinds of ill health throughout her life and the loss of a beloved husband, can be truly considered to have had a tragic life.

Nice review of Lancaster's career. I think he kept it kind of a secret, but I believe he was a heavy cigarette smoker. And I think by the time he reached his late 60s, the smoking started to take a toll on his health. Ironic that such a strong athlete in his early years would let a habit like that take him down.
