The film was a masterpiece and Coogan's performance was stunningly realistic. Chaplin later said that Coogan was one of the greatest actors that he ever worked with. Many, many years later, when Coogan was re-united with Chaplin at the 1972 Academy Awards, Chaplin reportedly told Coogan's wife "Never forget that your husband is a genius".
I agree about his great acting.
He truly made me believe what his character was going through as he was being taken away from the man he knew as his father! 😢
He is the reason that there are laws currently that protect a child actor's income from parents or guardians.
Yep sure do the Coogan Account thank God for that. I felt sorry for Gary Coleman.
Mighty Mouse, what happened? Didn’t know that was a law???

His parents are shit
But the dad of Macaulay Culkin still managed to steal all his money
A once in a lifetime performance from the kid . Jackie coogan’s parents squandered all his money millions at the time and today the Jackie coogan was responsible for the child actors law which insures the well being of child actors. Years later Chaplin never forgot Jackie and paid his medical bills when he became ill. But who could resist not shedding a tear for Jackie’s performance. Iconic indeed!
the first time I saw this movie, I cried and laugh at the same time. A true masterpiece!
I felt exactly same
That's true, humanity and humour at the same time.
omg me too, a masterpiece!
Movie name?
Jackie Coogan is a true Hollywood legend.
When Jackie fell on hard times years down the road, Chaplin gave him some money, no hesitation whatsoever.
Keri Deggs Yep, he handed Coogan $1,000 immediately.
@@jasoncinema Though Chaplin had a reputation for being rather stingy with his money, he was generous to those people & causes that were dear to his heart. For instance, he kept his former leading lady Edna Purviance on salary long after she'd stopped making movies with him.
While not a perfect person, Chaplin had a heart, which overcomes a lot of sins in my book.
I just watched “The Kid” on an 8mm projector and this interview gave me goose bumps because I thought to myself, “wow that little kid is convincing!”
Can you believe Uncle Fester married Betty Grable! and further more this man is also a WW2 kick butt pilot. what a cool interesting dude.
Yes
And the grand father of the very talented Scootie Coogan
He also lynched the killers of Brooke Hart. The word “lynch” has a negative and usually racist connotation to it. But the men who killed Hart deserved what happened to them.
@@peaceandlove544 Who is Scootie Coogan? Do you mean Keith Coogan?
Hard to believe that the Kid is Uncle Fester
wow never knew that
wow
Yeah isnt it? He was so adorable as a child.
@@sallynicholls5502 He was also very good in The Rag Man.
I just found that out last Week and still trippin on that.
He died a little after I was born and we still remember him as a cute kid.
Harder to believe, he would be 106 years old today. RIP Jackie 🦋
My favorite Chaplin piece :)
I love this movie, for me and one of the best I've ever seen in my life. I always get emotional when I see, and from this movie I have a great affection for Charlie.
Uncle fester, what a legend.
Recognized his voice immediately from The Addams Family TV series. His voice has hardly changed here. You rarely come across that
What a guy! Such a talent!
I agree 100 per cent.
Holy cow, it would be amazing if somehow the documentary this is from got released on blu-ray! "Hollywood: A Celebration of the American Silent Film" might be the greatest documentary ever made about the movies.
I just watched "The Kid". Only after did I find out that the boy also played Uncle Fester in the Adams Family many years later...wow!
Jackie was my dads glider pilot when he flew some of the Chindits from India in to Burma
I just saw The Kid for the first time and was bowled over by that little guy's performance. That scene with him crying in the truck is just heart-rending. Major props to Charlie Chaplin for working with him so well. The lad was so cute and charming throughout the film. Such wide, adorable eyes. I thought he sorta looked like a girl some of the time, but that might've just enhanced his winsomeness. 🤩
Excelente actor, la actuación la llevó desde pequeño. No me canso de ver sus actuaciones en en cine mudó junto al gran Charles Chaplin, realmente un honor.
Uncle Fester, what a Legend!!
I heartily concur !
He should've been cast in The Godfather as one of the mobsters, or as Gazo in Rocky. I can see him playing heavies.
He played many on tv.
he should have been cast as uncle fester
@@adamkhabazian3249 He WAS cast as Uncle Fester (in the 60s TV version of "The Addams Family").
Jackie Coogan enlisted in the U.S. Army after the attack on Pearl Harbor. He volunteered for hazardous duty with the 1st Air Commando Group. He achieved the rank of Flight Officer
A wonderful human being. Fine actor and true patriot. Lots of folk talk about how much they love this country & our freedoms, but it's the people (like Jackie) who put words into action and put their lives on the line that I am most impressed with.
Chaplin loved this '' kid'' Both had a connection. Chaplin desperate for kids of his own and the fact he most likely saw a little of himself in the boy. Glad to see he lived to see his 70th birthday.
I remember that Chaplin and his first wife Mildred had a baby around that time. Unfortunately, the child died at three days old.
He was the world's first child superstar, adored by millions and a huge success in the many films he made in the 1920s. He was once described as the most beautiful child in the world. It's hard to believe that this man is the same person as that famous pre-teen star, seeing how he grew up to lose his hair and his famous looks and by the time he was appearing in The Addams Family, he had changed completely for the worst and was unrecognisable from his youthful self. He must have been aware of this and not liked it a bit, because one day, while he was in his dressing room between filming scenes for The Addams Family, his daughter caught him crying and sobbing bitterly. When she asked him whatever was the matter, he told her I used to be the most beautiful child in the world and now I'm an ugly monster! It must have been a terrible cross for him to bear.
NIGGA HE GOT OLD
Well he still was sweet and lovable, no monster, with great facial expressions. Poor guy I only feel bad if he was sad. I saw the movie "the kid" recently and it is wonderful! My favorite scenes are the simple ones in The Flat where they show how they (cleverly) live with very little money.
Did you see how thin his hair was growing up
What you have described has just a name: life, and it is a cross we all have to bear. He was not that ugly: in the Addams Family he had a make up on and it was by far his most famous and brillant character
@@TheFilmist 😂😂😂😂
this guy had an amazing life. that we know him only as uncle fester is pretty astonishing. were i to do a movie based on a hollywood star's life, you betcha it would be about jackie coogan.
ryan barker Yes, he was so interesting.
Sir your acting was superb adorable and and you were cute.I also cry many too see the sad part of" the kid".you are excellent 🙏
Very good interview and explanation.
Aww, he was such a handsome little boy! Great actor as well!
Truly a classic movie. I cry every time during that scene
How does this video have so few views? Awesome insight into an amazing film!
Well first of all most of the people that knew Jackie are either dead or to old to used a computer and myself I just hit 72 so that may tell you something.
Jackie coogan acting was very nice.still in 2019.no comparison
Me gustaria saber mas de este actor Coogan. Saber por ej. Si en esa época se estudiaba drama y actuación o este niño era solo un prodigio natural. Siento tanta angustia de saber que existió un niñito que hoy mirando sus peliculas me llena de ternura y me parte el corazón y que hoy no es mas que un recuerdo.
You're true legend Mr. Jackie
Love this movie
masterpiece with master actors
YIKES! I'm hit in the feels 💜
Wow! I had no idea he was the little boy I'm that movie! It's one of my favorites.
I loved him!
Fantastic!
0:36 - I thought I saw Gomez Addams' face in Charlie Chaplin (LOL) - I was just binge watching the show and thought I'd check out some Jackie Coogan clips.
this is wonderful. my gosh
He made little millions in his childhood equivalent to 48 millions of today an internacional child mega star and was ripped of of his money. Hope someone finds all his other great work. And thank God he became a great pilot, was a WWII heroe, married, had children and grand children and continued to work during his life and was love and is love by several generations now.
jackie coogan i love you
great stuff
Wonderful action was given by the kid .in the movie. The actor Jackie is sharing his views/ memories his working experience with Charlie Chaplin . But both was no more. Alas!.
Wonderful guy. He made me laugh so much in the Addams Family.
I love Uncle Fester.
What year is the interview?
+Michael Maxwell It must have been before 1984, because he passed away in March of that year at the age of 69. I say passed away and not died, because Jackie Coogan will never really die as long as he is loved and remembered by people the world over.
Those expressive eyes
That's the one time in the kid where you can really see the resemblance, when his eyes get really big. Love his performance in that.
Genio
Too bad this is such a brief clip of the interview which is about 11 minutes long. It's another Kevin Brownlow gem (he's the interviewer). I also think those who think Coogan demeaned himself in The Addams Family are wrong. He's great in that and that wonderful series wouldn't have been the same without him. It's not Chaplin but then, what is?
Legend is Charlie Chaplin
Humour + humanity = charli Chaplin
❤️
Great sir
When was this interview? Anyone know?
1977
does anyone know when this interview took place?
It came from a documentary series called Hollywood. It came out in 1980. So this interview probably took place a year or so before that.
FESTER!!!!
And an uncle too !
♥♥
This is just a small clip from the wonderful Thames Television documentary made by Kevin Brownlow called, Hollywood; A celebration of the American silent film. It's a 13 episode, 1980 documentary narrated by actor James Mason which features interviews with actors, directors, cameramen, stuntmen and others involved in the silent film industry. It's on UA-cam, and well worth a look.
we wanna know what year the interview was taken not what he is saying , well all speak english we understand what he is saying
I wished they've came out with the sequel starring bruce willis and Spencer breslin as well where he grows up and becomes a dad of his own to his son and daughter and goes through that same phase.
Jackie Coogan indimenticabile
Back then Mr. Coogan, along with other actors and actresses, gave their all to obtain parts because they loved acting. Today all the actors and actresses think only about money, not that it’s wrong, but it shouldn’t be the main reason. Sometimes I fall into the latter category too.
I m just seeing time and travel omg...
His grandson was on Intervention
ohh god so hard to believe
Jackie 'The Kid' Coogan, that should have been and should be his name
😇My favorit 😇
Got it omg
Nice video.
You speak the truth, Kemo Sabe !
Você é o menino de O GAROTO?
Sei quase nada de inglês mas pelo título.....
Você teria hoje mais de 100 anos.
Você é filho ou neto, do KID...talvez....
Ele esteve com CHARLES CHAPLIN e encantou. Aparecem pequenos lances e CHAPLIN brinca com ele, põe no colo....moleque esperto...até deixou o guarda sem sentido. PARABÉNS. 💋💋💋💋💋💌💌💌💌💌💌🤗
Oh my god
I enjoyed Uncle Fester never knew that he had an impressive silent and talk movie career! Sad to hear his parent took Millions from Jackie. The house in this interview looks rather modest.
Though Mr Coogan made a comfortable living over the years as a character actor, he was a man of simple tastes.
"Phoney as a three dollar bill." ☺
😢
clever....good movie
Good movie? Outstanding film!
Jackie Coogan
I thought he was going to say he hit him to make the tears come out. But thank god he didn’t .
it's Barry shulman 59yrs old i agree with you. I'm a retired professional dental labratory technician and worked in a crown and brige labratory with two other technichion"s it's an art and craft and a great career for the younger generation but they are all screwed up. i understand with you. Barry shulman. sincerely.
But this version of the kid and Charlie chaplain and this guy as a child actor are both master if not powerhouse actor's of their time.
this guy played that kid and - Born: 26 October 1914, Los Angeles, California, United States
Died: 1 March 1984, Santa Monica, California, United States
FEEL OLD YET?
I didn't it was the original kid way ,before bruce willis version back in 2000s that's the only one I saw especially Spencer breslin starring as the kid.
what happened to the kid
En español por favor ...
La principal cosa que dice Jackie Coogan se concentra sobre el método de interpretación para una de las escenas más dramáticas de esa vieja película.
¿ Cómo llorar de manera que convence ?
Hay dos explicaciones. La de Jackie aquí en esta entrevista, mi favorita, cuando él explica que Chaplin, seando un contador excelente le explicó a Jackie que las autoridades podían dejarlo en una institution para siempre y que los dos compañeros de la calle nunca más se verían, y posiblemente acerca de las Casas de Trabajo (Work-houses) de la época Victoriana, como las que Chapin había conocido él mismo cuando crecía. Cuando llegó el momento de hacerse echar a dentro del vehículo de la Bienestar Pública (?), Jacky no pudo pararse de llorar de manera natural. // Soy australiano que habla un poco español- ojalá que esto le ayudara un poquito.
Are those stacks of newspapers behind him?
Just saw a article about him one of the most high payed actor of his time,,,
His age was written on the door the flat they lived in in this filn
Tradução!!!!!!!😭😭😭😭😭😭
U r lucky
He's still alive and a Pennsylvania Senator.
He died in 1984 after years of multiple health problems. The guy wound up having a hard life in many ways. 😢
Why he never act again
This is just a "shot in the dark", but I'd surmise that his death had something to do with his never acting again.
:(
I've got lots of 3 dollar bills!
3 dollars for acting?
I would venture to say he was paid more than that. After all, that looks like a nice house he's in.
Il n y a pas de talent à répéter plusieurs fois une scène, le talent c'est de la faire une fois...
Quran says every one will die,,
the reality of islam which give us reality
don't need a quran to know that shit already also what the fuck has that gotta do with jackie coogan?
