At 84, I have just (again) become a fan of Lawrence Tierney. A gifted artist, very cool extremely, interesting character. Thanks so to the entire panel.

GREAT group discussion about a fascinating guy. As I said earlier, you can't look away and I think this conversation could have gone on a lot longer. A big thanks to all involved!

One thing about Lawrence Tierney, if he's on the screen you cannot tear your eyes away. Also--I met and spent a little time with Arnold Schwarzenegger once, back when his biggest claim to fame was Mr Universe. Lawrence was the only other man I ever saw whose suits fit like that. If you've seen them, you know what I mean. 🔥🔥🔥

RIP Robert Goulet.

Hard to believe it's the same person when you look at him in his youth and then as an old man. The alcohol took it's toll on him.

I loved Jerry so much but at the same time, I was sooo disappointed when I had found out that he had taken all of his sons and his grandchildren out of his will. He left everything to his daughter and wife. I mean, if not leave anything for his sons, at least he could have left something for his GRANDKIDS… after seeing him with his grandson in this film now, it just saddens me.

Never get to know your heroes. Jerry was a great Entertainer, but a lousy person.

Apparently he was a charitable person, but a workaholic and a perfectionist, which must have greatly affected his relationship with his family and some co-workers, which is why there were people who loved him and others who hated being around him. A guy who perhaps had a sincere and good heart, but was problematic and very demanding. As an actor he was incredible, and as a director too, but as a person only those close to him and GOD can know.

Shame he didn't look after his own kids and wives.

My brother hung out with him when they both lived in Venice Beach. We took him out for a bite and watched a movie over to my place. He was nice, kind of pleasant. Never heard a harsh word, he did almost bite my head off when ask him to repeat something I couldn't hear.

Don't know if it's just me, but the sound dropped out at about the,10 minutes mark.

'Dillinger' sucked, but it wasn't Teirney's fault. they way they wrote JD's character was ridiculous. kind of like a sociopath. John Dillinger didn't have a sadistic bone in his body, contrary to the bar room scene, where he takes a dislike to the waiter. and like a lot of so-called '30's pictures, they completely forget that most men walked around in strawboat hats. like they don't care if people take it for a '40's picture. w/ a better script, and director, Teirney could've been a great Dillinger. Warren Oates is still today, the best(1973).

MORGAN WOODWARD ....

CHARLIE MCGRAW WAS TUFFER !

Scott Brady is my favourite actor. It was good to listen to his son, Tim. You can sure see the family resemblance.

I love how he mentioned trying to find a cure. There will never be a cure.

He am arisen!

This was filmed 3 months before my mother passed away in 1989, she loved Jerry, never missed his Telethon every Labor Day! Jerry Lewis was a fantastic person, humanitarian, all around Entertainer who could do it all and his work with Muscular Dystrophy for over 40 years is beyond incredible, PERIOD!!!!!

Bravo!

I just love Jerry and all the work he did for Muscular Dystrophy. Rest In Peace.

' Hill Street ! ' The final two words of the incredible tv series Hill Street Blues uttered by Sgt Jenkins ...played by Mr Lawrence Tierney ! Mr Tierney's whole body of work was quite superb and multi faceted ! Not too many can say likewise ?

❤Love him

Horrible person

I’d like to ask a question, how did two Tierney’s, Gene and Laurence rise to fame at more or less the same time and why were they both so successful? Was it just an Irish thing? I’m a Tierney. Both my parents where born in the small Limerick village that all Tierney’s originate from. P.S. My daughter Siobhan who was born in Australia is a copy of Gene, we say she has the Tierney look.

Use to see Larry in and around Hollywood. A nice old man towards the end of his life.

I met Lawrence Tierney in 1995 for a movie I was directing. We met, with a female friend of his, at his apartment in Hollywood. He scared the shit out of me. I'd never met anyone so full of barely-contained violence. He made Mickey Rourke look like a choir boy. Being in a small room with him was scary. It was like he could fly off the handle at any moment. And he was as dumb as a rock. He wasn't quite human, like he was part-neanderthal or had an extra Y chromosome. I wondered what a psychiatrist would make of him, though he never would have tolerated a psychiatrist and would have put the frighteners on him. When I heard about a person whose personality became hostile and aggressive after a brain injury, I wondered if this had happened to Tierney. He was one nasty helluva piece of work.

The opening music (Basie) of this video is what I use on my radio show. It's awesome!

He was great in the Simpsons

You should read my interview with him in Psychotronic Video Magazine, he was my 2nd Interview right after Tim Carey. Both up for R Dogs.... He stayed at my Moms house in malibu/westlake. we played crosswords and puzzles all-night long!

I loved JL but he was NOT a good father, he left them with nothing

Jerry Lewis 16 de marzo de 1926 20 de agosto de 2017 97 años 91 años 06 años

Jerry Lewis was a fantastic man and brilliant entertainer and Humanitarian!!!!!

Todays people who think he was a monster aught to listen to this interview and hear the real Jerry Lewis and see how brilliant and terrific he was, PERIOD!!!!!

One of the greatest Icons ever in the entertainment industry and now people are telling horrible stories about him after he's been dead for years! His family and his personal business is nobody's business and nobody knows the whole story! His Muscular Dystrophy Telethons for over 40 years were incredible and Fantastic, plus all the other fabulous things he did in show business they're too numerous to name! Everyone should let him rest in peace and remember him for the great man he was, PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!

When ISNT Jerry Lewis talking? Oh. He isn’t talking anymore. He’s dead. That big mouth hurt a lot of nice people. So RYM, Jerry. That’s “Rest Your Mouth”. I, for one, will never miss a thing about you.

God bless Jerry. Every one has problems. And dirty laundry is so easy to air out in public for people in this industry But I’m sure it’s not easy for people in the industry who’s lives are in the public eye It’s none of our business about Jerry’s private life. It’s a shame. And now he is gone Looking on the other side He did do so much for the MDA. Jerry was the MDA and raised so much money for them. RIP Jerry. I miss you. You were my childhood you made me laugh and still do. I will say he has HOT LEGS and looks great in those shorts. !!! ♥️♥️♥️

36:00 Elvis Presley 😂😂😂😂

I remember the 5 part Wiseguy he was in. He was marvelous in the dramatic part. He should have won an Emmy. It was an amazing performance! With respect to the negative comments & the haters who started protesting his telethons & the term "Jerry's Kids", he was canceled before the cancel culture began in this country. He was the beginning of cancel culture.

Jerry was a lousy person he was a piece of shit. A lot of the raising of funds was for his own ego. He was a real son of a bitch bastard. He disinherited his family and was a miserable human being in his later years. He was a goddamn bastard

I was visiting friends out in LA. I guess it was 95 or 96 I was sober about three years maybe four years, so maybe 96. I come out of a AA meeting in West Hollywood and I was standing there and people were saying they weren’t going out for coffee or lunch. It was an afternoon meeting so a lot of people i think on their lunch break. So I’m standing there and this gentleman comes over and says you wanna go out for a coffee. I said sure I watch lots of old movies, but I didn’t recognize him right away. So during lunch I realize who he was and I said oh I realize you’re blah blah blah. His response was that’s got nothing to do with fucking getting sober. I said yes you are correct so we just talked about some movies. I’m from New York. I was 35 6’,3” tall 200 pound Irish guy from New York. We actually had a great conversation. He asked me about all these places that had long since disappeared from NYC . He talked about all these places on the East side of New York and these hangouts up in the Broadway district. I’m figuring he was in his early to mid 70s. At this point we had a great conversation. We stayed in touch for a little bit even when I got back to New York he was a piece of work. He reminded me of the men I grew up around in the Bronx.

The short shorts he wears are disturbing. He raised $3 billion dollars. But was in so many ways a terrible person

What a bunch of crap. He forgot that there are still a lot of crew around to tell about their experience. RIP JL.

They didn't invite the guy who invented the yo yo that lights up to this?

I love Jerry ❤

I kinda like this, but if it’s the original unaired theme song for the show, it feels a little long. Also I think it kinda ends abruptly. You’d think it would have a more energetic ending

Just got my copy. Thank you so much for writing it.

Anyone who tries to excuse Lawrence Tierney's bad behavior by pointing to Robert Mitchum are daffy! Robert Mitchum probably did drink a lot. . . smoked pot, but he didn't sit in a bar, waiting for someone to beat in a fight. Lawrence was an "mean drunk", a habitual drunk and kept this going through most of his life. Frankly, I am not impressed with his acting ability either!

Were Robert Mitchum and Lawrence Tierney on contract at RKO during the same time period? What I know of both men I would think those 2 would have either gotten along very well or alternately been at each other's throats. No in between. I've read Mitchum went through a period of violent behavior, public drunkenness, he gave heavyweight boxer Bernie Reynolds a beating that sent Reynolds to the hospital, and even a fight with cops as well as wrecking a studio office and being fired from the starring role in one of John Wayne's productions. Mitchum got through all that and settled down whereas Lawrence obviously didn't. That was a shame because I think he was in reality a great actor.

My uncle Larry was not to be messed with. But he really a good guy. I miss him a lot

Vary good show my uncle was a Force to be reckoned with. But he was a real good guy.
