I never saw this show at the time, but seeing Leif Garrett brings back memories. When I was a 12-13 year old boy, I went through a phase of buying Teen Beat and other teen idol magazines. Those were the days of Leif Garrett and Shaun Cassidy. I'm not sure it even occurred to me at first that these magazines were aimed mostly at girls. I just liked them. My older step-sister laughed when she found out, and God knows what my parents thought. In retrospect, it was probably one of the earliest signs of much that was to come in my life.
David Cassidy Partridge Family you might put him ahead of both. Keith was a looker it's sad how being in the industry can grab a hold on you faster than a blink of an eye. Some see Hollywood as an endless pot of gold, and sadly it is put sometimes ahead of an individuals life, we know that even with the right guidance things can and do go downhill faster than a speeding bullet,perhaps if stronger rules where applied there could have been a different outcome, sadly on some we will never know.
They both looked so perfect as Romeo and Juliet that i wish they would had doned for real. That would've been one of the most beautiful versions of this classic love story.
That movie was a flop...it was really savaged by the critics. I remember when it came out, I was eighteen. The original 1968 version by Franco Zefferrelli is the best and definitive version. Nothing else even comed close to it.
O...M...G. I was 15 in '79. Adored him. Even had a Teen Beat pullout poster of him on my wall. Never saw the tv special. Thanks for sharing some of it. Awesome!
I was a little younger but my cousin was 16 and gave me mags with him on the cover, that changed my life! I stared at his pics all through primary school and part of high school. Most Gorgeous teen idol EVER!!!!
@@dalilah6416Schauen Sie im Internet seine aktuellen Fotos an. Leif Garrett sieht 2023 richtig verwahrlost aus. Ich bin auch keine 14 mehr, aber ich achte auf meine Ernährung und trinke keinen Alkohol. Nur Eines haben wir gemeinsam, denn wir leben noch. Grüße Dagmar
I worked with Leif on a recording project in the 80s. I thought he was a good guy at that time. I never thought fame went to his head. Sad to see the troubles that came after.
I think being at such a tender impressionable age, being told your so wonderful and afforded all the excesses by sleazy predatory adults who just wanted a piece of what they could get out of him... It would mess up any kid. It certainly messed up a lot, especially during that era. Add on top of it parents that used their children as the primary bread winner and you've got a recipe for absolute disaster.
Sadly. Brooke.could never. . act and was stiff on camera where Lief was a natural ..what a shame hollywood Blacklisted. him. There Is more to that story for sure ! His looks. changed. and they would not let him grow up .Then Drugs took over. The car accident he was in ruined him ..
Leif Garrett was the TEEN IDOL KING of the late 70´s. Those tight pants and that gloden curly hair were a huge part of his appeal......I remember even Shaun Cassidy was down for a competition.
That was not his intention. A friend told him when he set fire to his house then panicked and put it out, he was only caught putting it out and was hailed a hero. So he wanted to replicate that, but it went wrong, the house set fire too quickly and he was unable to put it out. So he got everyone out instead, and admitted to it.
keep your music going for us fans. what happen to you. believe me i still believe. in you no matter what. your pants were great and you wore them good. you drove the girls wild espically me. even though i have never been to an concert in my entire life. i wished that i could be there for you
Nice Comedians ,,You two.... Beautiful Voices... Speak of Thy LOVE 💘... Ha,haha, VERY funny Pushing Leif Down While on Ladder....... Great actors & Singers.....
4:53 Almost sounds like melody of “how deep is your love”. Did anymore else hear that? This was right about the time Brooke was in the blue lagoon. Anyone 50+ will remember that VERY WELL …I remember us kids in the neighborhood coming inside to watch that in the summer on a rainy day on “SUPERCHANNEL”. We all felt so akward too. How old were we again? I think I was 11? What a time to Be a kid!
Rookie showed her natural gift for acting and comedy early on. Her youthful beauty is unparalleled in the universe. Never was there more exquisite teen beauty.
Cool. Interesting to see . Have primarily seen Leif as a Dramatic Actor. [ He was always far better than many gave him credit for]. Outside of a few things , I really haven’t seen much of her. [ Blue Lagoon - and I was never a fan it that movie]. She too, quite talented. 📻🙂
Brooke is so astonishingly beautiful...what a classic beauty. I wish she hadn't retired.😜 (I know she's only fourteen here. But I can still say that, right?)
I think they taped the special over two nights. I was at the one night but have forgotten what they taped actually! I never did see the special when it ran on TV because we didn't have one at the time. I was never into fawning over teen idols but he was the only exception.
"Ah, verily that is true (about being the handsomest lad in all Verona). It is true." Ha, ha...that's so cute. Thanks so much for this upload. You gave me a good laugh! Some advice for Romeo: Thou shalt not recount past loves whilst standing on an unsupported ladder before the lady whose heart thou doth wish to win.
I was 13 in 1979 when I contracted, "Leif Garrett Fever!"...My bedroom walls were plastered with the maximum amount of posters that fit all 4 walls to the ceiling!..An elderly lady neighbour walked into my bedroom one day and was in shock!...She said, "Doesn't all those (Leif's) faces looking at you give you nightmares??!!"....The answer was HELL to the NO!!...At the time, I was in absolute ecstacy!..:-)
@metalmickeyiscute I have the whole show on DVD. It's really good. I want to upload it here but i need to find a way to improve the picture quality first.

I guess we had good taste !
These teen idols never really change: non-threatening males, fairly androgynous, hairless. 😂
The 711 crossroads of life. Either tiger beat or playboy.
He was so good looking & had a great voice. I was in love with him so much.
Me too
This is so cute, lol! I want my youth back! #LEIFGARRETTFOREVER 🤗❤
They both looked so perfect as Romeo and Juliet that i wish they would had doned for real. That would've been one of the most beautiful versions of this classic love story.
The blondest non Italians looking Italians in Verona but definitely beautiful! They are adorable!
I guess you haven't seen Gwyneth Paltrow playing Juliet in Shakespeare in Love.

I also loved him all the way down in Brazil 🤩🤩
I was 17 and also had a huge crush on Leif! I miss those days...

Mgbrown same here, was about the same age in 79 and was obsessed with him , he was on my wall , so cute!
oh my gosh! don't they look good together? they make a lovely pair. i love brooke shields and leif garrett sooooooooo much! so beautiful and handsome
Leif was sure a natural actor. So cute.
He has a nice butt
Thank You letting us life our childhood again I miss them!!
I loved Brook Shields since "Endles Love". I love Brooke, even more today. Shes beautiful, funny and down to earth. 🥰😁😉
Me too!
Leif led a truly wild lifestyle.
He's lucky to still be around.
@@spacedinvadersIt cause his face is so beautiful 😍
I don't think he was that handsome

He has dreamy eyes. Most don't have those eyes.
@@sigilfredogaleano6568 wow, that’s a first I’ve heard. He’s way ahead of my time but what’s fine in your opinion? If not him.
How precious! Thank you for posting this. I don't remember seeing it before. It's beautiful :)
I worked with Leif on a recording project in the 80s. I thought he was a good guy at that time. I never thought fame went to his head. Sad to see the troubles that came after.
He spiraled down... fast. A real coke fiend and druggie.
At least you worked with him!
What project did you work on? What year was it?
His book revealed how sensitive he is.

This is why I wish time travel was possible. I was born in 1992 and I would give anything to travel back to 1979 to see him .
Great idea teen beat was all over my walls with his pictures
アップロードありがとう！
当時は、UA-camもなく、こんな動画を見れるコトなんてありませんでした。４４年前なんですね
She has always been very beautiful!!! :O
He was handsome too. Perfect couple!!! ;)
So sad no one gave Leif a chance to prove his acting , still love Brooke Shields

He was very good in "Delta Fever" and "God's Gun".
He had some decent movies 🎥 and tv appearances though👍😎

Funny! Great footage. Wish you had more. Thanks for posting.
Leif was a legend!
Still is.
He's a year older than me.
Thank you.
He still is he loves on through our memories
Can’t wait to hear his side of his story. I loved him as a teenager. Book comes out July 2019.
He says those old recordings were just a little of his voice, most of it was some other guy.
Was a great book.
@@jasonreese2088no wonder I feel that the music and his speaking voice aren't the same
Leif Garrett was the TEEN IDOL KING of the late 70´s. Those tight pants and that gloden curly hair were a huge part of his appeal......I remember even Shaun Cassidy was down for a competition.
The only one that came close but still no win was Andy Gibb. Leif was the most beautiful of all period point blank 😍
They both were so adorable!
i am an Aussie woman and when i was a teen i was in Leif and as i am the same age as Brooke, i thought she was so beautiful and talented. Still do.
leif still is handsome in my book.
I think so toox x
Sure is!
we need more of this type of entertainment...i miss it...
Well ,Actress to You Brooks ...,YOU Were Great over The YEARS ,BROOKS & You're Still ,BEAUTIFUL........
Thanks for the upload, it's nice. 😊
I remember watching this! This is great!
She was stunningly beautiful at that time.
He’s handsome
Love these two. Takes me back 💚
They should of played in Blue Lagoon together. I think Leif was a good actor.
Good call! Leif would have been better in the Blue Lagoon.
Totally missed him in the 70s and 80s listened to hard rock and his voice would be excellent as hard rock maybe he should have been
Brooke Shields is still a beautiful woman!
She's a pure angel
At that time every teenager adored them and wanted to be them!
Is she REALLY only FOURTEEN???? She looks so much older than that! This was a very cute segment, I liked it a lot!
Too much make up. She was really bautifull. Perfect
I liked it a lot as well.
@@andresplay1833 not too much make up. She looked great. She isnt wearing near the amount of make up these skanks do nowadays., lol

thank you so much for posting,i`ts wonderful,i l♥ve leif garrett !!!!!
Who had thought Brooke Shield would be starring in a comptempary version of 'Romeo & Juliet', entitled 'Endless Love' in a few years.
+David Southey Endless Love...didn't he go bananas and burn their bloody house down?
That was not his intention. A friend told him when he set fire to his house then panicked and put it out, he was only caught putting it out and was hailed a hero. So he wanted to replicate that, but it went wrong, the house set fire too quickly and he was unable to put it out. So he got everyone out instead, and admitted to it.
He set fire to HER family’s home

she’s my age here and i look nothing like that😭 she’s truly perfect
I hsd Leif Garrett pictures from tv week all over my bedroom walls... myself and millions of others.
14/15 year old Brooke Shields makes a PERFECT Juliet. She’s...well....got the looks.
The way they looked at each other, that was no acting. Damn , 2 beauties
Leif was really cute.
What a wonderful video!!!!!! At that time, Leif was Romeo of girls all over the world. Of course, he is still my Romeo:)
Both of these kids were so gorgeous and talented. Brooke was my idol as a young teen.
miss these times
So it's pronounced LAYF? All these years I've been calling him "Leaf!"
His gorgeous haircut ! What a cutie
Nice Comedians ,,You two.... Beautiful Voices... Speak of Thy LOVE 💘... Ha,haha, VERY funny Pushing Leif Down While on Ladder....... Great actors & Singers.....
Love them both 💚🥰♥️
I didn’t see this when it aired I was busy being a bus girl and then getting stoned with my friends after work. Good times.😊
Lol I was in love with him
Me too. Obsessed.
lol I remember this, I was 12 and gaga over him, I remember him in the Medicine Hat Stallion movie as well, my how technology has changed
She was truly so beautiful and striking.
Young Leif triggers my inner cougar. Lol!
Leif was a talented actor and singer. It's too bad he didn't do more acting. Loved him!!
He never looked better than in the age of 17.......the Ultimate Pin-Up-Boy back then.
I was five years old then and Leif was sooooo cuuuute
Brooke is so beautiful- inside and out.
I had a brooke shields barbie doll I LOVED her eyebrows ❤❤❤
4:53 Almost sounds like melody of “how deep is your love”. Did anymore else hear that?

Outside of a few things , I really haven’t seen much of her. [ Blue Lagoon - and I was never a fan it that movie]. She too, quite talented.

The special should have been called "Romeo and Jailbait"... HEHEHE
Thanx for the upload.
I loved him !❤❤❤❤
Thank you!
Leif was very talented... He nailed all his lines. Brooke not so much😬
I agree. I never thought she was a great actress. Just had looks.
I mean she did ok!
She was literally 14
Brooke is so astonishingly beautiful...what a classic beauty. I wish she hadn't retired.😜 (I know she's only fourteen here. But I can still say that, right?)
Both beautiful looking...and acting.😊
Loved the red outfit!
I think they taped the special over two nights. I was at the one night but have forgotten what they taped actually! I never did see the special when it ran on TV because we didn't have one at the time. I was never into fawning over teen idols but he was the only exception.
Imagine if Leif had starred in the Blue Lagoon with her...what would that have been like?
The Scotti Brothers would not have allowed it.
@@JamesHenderson-wk4hd Why not?
