To this day - I miss him and he will always be TCM. His interview with Betty Hutton is one of my all time favorites. Miss him. So humble. God rest his soul.
Robert Osborn was a class act and when the Shows provider for TV was free I was able to watch for free. Not sure when they started to charge for TCM and I cried. Now my generation is still being asked to pay. This doubly hurts because we old folks really are quarantined and I would love to see these again. Thank goodness some are on UA-cam
We have to first thank Mr. Ted Turner for creating this fabulous station, and the gentleman, Mr. Robert Osborne. Thank you so very, very much. Best to All. Peace and kindness, please pass it forward.
I remember his interview with Bette Hutton. She was clearly not well and wracked with anxiety. He was so kind and reassuring, made her feel more comfortable and relaxed. I was very impressed by this compassion. It's no wonder he made such a success of his life. Kindness counts.
I felt the same way. I loved Robert Osborne because he brought wonderful films into our homes. He shared the history that I love so much and also brought these stars back to the limelight where we could again see and hear their voices. I miss him a lot.
I just recently discovered that he had been in a relationship with one man for ~20 years until his death. I love that! He was like me: discreet and not "in your face" about it. He was such a gentleman.
Writing such a thing in the year 2020 is a pathetic vestige of bigotry that hopefully will disappear altogether one day. Yeah, props to Mr. Osborne for not giving you the vapors. Funny, you don't compliment straight people for being secretive.
Love classic film and that’s probably due to Robert Osborne! Started watching TCM in my early teens. Still miss this wonderful gentleman who knew classic film and actors so well!
Had no idea he had passed until today. I was not always a fan of the classics, but over the past five years I began to watch TCM more. I've seen Osbourne on television my entire life and feel as though he was almost like a sort of friend. He was a wise man who knew so much about film and all kinds of things. I will miss seeing his face and hearing his iconic voice introducing the greatest films of all time. R.I.P.
I'm 33 years old. I grew up watching Robert Osborne - he was a teacher for me. I swear I was born in the wrong era, as a child I was always drawn to old films. And still to this day, I appreciate the stars of the Golden Era. I shock myself and other people when I share what I know about films and the stars of the 20th century. Things you wouldn't expect someone to know down to the least expected detail. I would have loved to be in Mr. Osborne's shoes - I live my fascination and appreciation for film through him. Continue to rest in peace, Robert Osborne. Thank you for your talent. ❤️
I felt the same way, that I was born at the wrong time and Robert Osborne was always there to introduce people of all ages to fine movies and all those personalities who made the old movies the best.
It was very thoughtful of TCM to make a documentary on Robert Osborne's life. I really didn't know anything about his career or personal life, outside of hosting TCM. Very informative. Thank you. :-)
RIP .Aw he was the smartest full of his incredible brilliance and full ofinside information of what seems like endless actors in all the movies shown on his TCM Show.
I've been watching him since it first aired, and as a researcher I looooove history about ANYTHING, & i looooove entertainment so I was engulfed by his life and stories he would tell about his days in Old Hollywood, they don't makem like this anymore he is truly missed Rip 1Luv.💋 S.N. (Baldwin goAway! lol)
He died 4 years ago today and has been missed every day since. I have watch TCM since it came on the air and Robert Osborne was the one who made that channel shine. His knowledge of movies and his commanding presence, plus his gentlemanly ways were a class act and cannot be duplicated. He is so very missed. TCM has changed a great deal since his death. Some of it good. Some bad. Frankly I like the way it was, but change has to come. Thank you Robert Osborne for the 23 years you were host! You were indeed a class act! We won't see you like again.
I think Alec Baldwin is the best interviewer and best guest; so gracious. Watch him in Comedians in Cars getting Coffee-smart, funny. And I'm glad he was the one to interview Robert Osborne...what a treat this is, thanks for bringing this to UA-cam
It felt odd for me to see all those actors, whose movies I've enjoyed for so long, in their golden years. I'm so used to seeing them frozen in time in their films.
Robert Osborne was a great gentleman. Two stars stand out: he interviewed Susan Hayward just before Susan was diagnosed with brain cancer. Osborne got Kim.Novak to open up during an extended interview and his friendship with Lucille Ball which changed Osborne!s career and life. RIP
Yesterday, Sept. 1st 2021, TCM updated its logo and production design. While I'm apprehensive about these changes, I know they reflect TCM's attempts at longevity. Today I'm watching old Robert Osborne clips to remember where it all started. I can only hope TCM continues to honor his incredible legacy.
Was checking out TCM for the first time in a few years the other day. Still some great movies on display, but the whole feel of the network without Osborne just isn't the same. When I embarked on a quest to explore classic movies many years back, I was watching TCM for hours a day on a day to day basis, and Osborne was both like a personal guide to this wonderful under-discovered world, and almost a grandfatherly figure. I'm grateful he was there with me on that journey, and he is still sorely missed.
Robert was the best, but not the first. Way back in the late 50's Bill Kennedy, an actor who did a number of Hollywood movies and TV episodes, turned his career into hosting an afternoon movie broadcast in the Detroit area. During the movie breaks, Bill told stories about his Hollywood days and the people he knew. Beyond that, he did interviews with various movie stars who came through Detroit, and these interviews were then aired during his show. He retired in 1983. No, this was not a national show but his format was very much the same as what Osborne created in the 1990's.
I watched Bill Kennedy back in the late 1970's. He was totally different Type Person Than Robert Osborne. He CERTAINLY did NOT Display Any of Robert's Warmth & Kindness. To be Totally Truthful, Bill Could Often Be Quite Obnoxious & Egotistical. I Knew Many People, Who Couldn't Stand Him! I Only Watched Him Due To My Great Love Of Old Movies. Back in the day, He, also was a Movie Actor. He Appeared in "Mr. Skeffigan" With Bette Davis & Claude Reins, as One of Her Many Beau "Suitors". Including Near The Final Scenes, Where Her Once Great Beauty Has Dramatically Faded.
I miss Robert so much and Alec Baldwin but Ben M. & the others with the strike, heck TCM is GREAT! I can't imagine why they refuse to pay these talented people for the new wave of streaming & as usual a corporate country (run & owned by conglomerates) the poorest of the public will pay! In the long run that's why the middle class is history!
As a former entertainment reporter and having seen both Robert Osborne and Alec Baldwin speak at the 2014 Hollywood TCM Classic Film Festival, I found this interview so enjoyable! Sincerely, Dan Hogan www.CFLRadio.Net/dan_hogan_bio.htm
Robert left behind his lifelong companion (male) who found him when he passed on I Would like to see his views on movies put on once in a while. So good looking..not sure of his age maybe age less.😢
I was fortunate to know Robert Osborne when I was part of the Industry. A lovely, funny, kindly, intelligent man.
To this day - I miss him and he will always be TCM. His interview with Betty Hutton is one of my all time favorites. Miss him. So humble. God rest his soul.

You can get it all for free Marcia. You just need to know where to look.
@@selectivision1425Well, that was insulting and of no help. Try harder to be helpful next time.
A wonderful, knowledgeable host. He treated actors from the Golden Age of Hollywood with kindness and respect. Miss him.
What a class act. RIP Robert Osbourne. You were loved.
We have to first thank Mr. Ted Turner for creating this fabulous station, and the gentleman, Mr. Robert Osborne. Thank you so very, very much. Best to All. Peace and kindness, please pass it forward.
Robert Osbourne with TCM made Millennials long for something they had never experienced.
I remember his interview with Bette Hutton. She was clearly not well and wracked with anxiety. He was so kind and reassuring, made her feel more comfortable and relaxed. I was very impressed by this compassion. It's no wonder he made such a success of his life. Kindness counts.

Don indeed..he's the friend,y neighbor, we all hope for....rip..
Exactly, What a Wonderful, Kind, Interesting Man! I, Too, Miss Him So Much, Even Years After He's Been Gone! R.I.P. Dear "Gentle Robert"!! ♥️♥️♥️
I cried, did not know him personally, you just got use to seeing him, I love TCM. Mr Osborne shall be missed.
Terrific film historian, so interesting, and incredible voice--classy, elegant, and warm man--he is irreplaceable--will miss him terribly.
I just recently discovered that he had been in a relationship with one man for ~20 years until his death. I love that! He was like me: discreet and not "in your face" about it. He was such a gentleman.

When certain personalities pass a whole era collapses. 100% this applies to Robert Osbourne.
Love classic film and that’s probably due to Robert Osborne! Started watching TCM in my early teens. Still miss this wonderful gentleman who knew classic film and actors so well!
Great guy. Gentleman. Class. Dignity and absence of ego.
He was a Gem and he is truly missed!

One of the greatest of all time with his bounding knowledge of stars and Hollywood, R.I.P Mr Osborne... you will be missed....
Happy birthday robert...i miss you😢wish we had more years to enjoy your company. Theres no replacement for ur knowledge, warmth, insights and intros
A true talent and class act
Sadly we are not producing films that warrant as classic s these days.
I just found out that he has passed away. What a very interesting person. He seems to be so warm and friendly.
He was TCM. May he rest in peace.
Wonderful guy, Mr Robert Osborne. He was a all around professional, who had great love and appreciation of cinema.
It was very thoughtful of TCM to make a documentary on Robert Osborne's life. I really didn't know anything about his career or personal life, outside of hosting TCM. Very informative. Thank you. :-)
Adele Celeste TV “Thoughtful?” Would you be interested in buying a bridge? It is all about the $, honey.

I would have loved to had known him personally. Rest In Peace Mr Osborne! There is a better day coming!
Taking a TCM cruise with Robert Osborne was on my bucket list. I regret I didn't do it sooner. :)

When a person dies, it’s as if an entire library burns to the ground.
Robert Osborne was a great gentleman. Two stars stand out: he interviewed Susan Hayward just before Susan was diagnosed with brain cancer. Osborne got Kim.Novak to open up during an extended interview and his friendship with Lucille Ball which changed Osborne!s career and life. RIP
He made love the classic movies.
7 years ago today. RIP Robert.
Loved him on Tcm.

Oh man! Can you imagine Judy garland singing in the net room! I would have been sitting at her feet as well! The talent!

Bill would also give his audience a chance to ask questions
I loved Bill Kennedy 👍

For someone as lively as Robert Osborne, I'm genuinely surprised my grandfather outlived him. They were the same age, but my grandfather is decrepit.
@6:30 "So many movies today are not movies people want to see...." Hollyweird, are you listening? Sadly, no....
robert Osborne also loved Kay Francis.

Quiero ver la película Written on the Wind
He was 🏡 home with TCM and we loved to be invited with him
❤
Alec Baldwin keep interrupting and trying to interject his experience, it’s beyond annoying.
Wow.. He was yummy.
TCM is popular because new movies suck!
