She is a survivor. She overcame her early troubles, had a relatively long career with critical acclaim for her acting, if not always for her films, a long life, and she hung onto her money. I think she’s smarter than most actresses.
And an African- American who pulled the wool over old time racist Hollywood's eyes. Sadly, like the much more famous and just as beautiful and talented Sandra Dee she was also an alcoholic.
@chumdog90 - I vaguely remember the bright and cheerful sponsor's song, "Drive your Chevrolet across the USA, America's the greatest land of all!" She sang it with such gust and sincerity. But I had not realized until just this very minute that her talk-show charm lay in the natural, unforced manner of her conversation. Dinah was not "on." She was not "performing" the role of being a talk show guest. She was just herself and that was no naturally lovely!
Tuesday Weld...sun glasses, long blonde hair, pretty dress...epic beauty. She is still alive as of March; 2021. Even at 77, I bet she is still gorgeous.
i flew first class on Western Airlines with Tuesday had a great time during the flt. We flew from SLC toNYC. She read my palm rt hand and i helped her carry her tape recorder she used while filming a Woman Scorned a t.v. movie for CBS the yr was 1983. She was really very down to earth for those out there who are fans of hers!
Can you remember anything at all that might be anecdotal ... anything she said or did ... it would be so interesting if you could tell us something more
Cool to know. Love Tuesday and I'm a huge fan. Beautiful and talented, she didn't seem to dig the whole 'star trip'. It doesn't surprise me, that she's down to earth.
I love how the starlet's of the '50's looked in the late '60's-early '70's. They fit beautifully into the modern styles and were still in their prime. Wow, I was 4 at this time, but have distinct memories. The '70's was a great time to be a kid.
@@Heartbreakin funny , I remember that now also and I was in grade school back then . I don't think that commercial was around for long though to be honest with you
I don’t think “bimbo” is the right term for her early characters, which are usually described as “sex kitten.” She was sexy, but always had good dialogue in her roles. These roles served her well until she grew into more serious characters. I was impressed with her work in the televised play “The Rainmaker,” which is completely against type. She had a fairly long career because of her acting ability.
I think the biggest tragedy is her dysfunctional home life. She was really just pushed into Hollywood at a very young age and drank a lot to cope with it. She sorted of retired from acting relatively early and I hope she’s found her peace
Wow this is great. I used to watch Dick Cavett all the time. Looking now he seems so awkward throughout the whole show but maybe that's a part of his appeal. Carson was too slick sometimes, Cavett held conversations, on a higher level, Looking at the commercials and the promos for ABC was like going back in a time machine.
Tuesday Weld is one of my favourite actressess, brilliant along with Anthony Perkins In Pretty Poison. For some reason, I'm reminded of another great actress from a later period, Jenifer Jason Leigh. Thank's for reminding me of Tuesday.
@@debbiewhitehead9890 She let him continue. Not enough people know about *Pretty Poison* . That, *Lord Love a Duck* , and *I Walk the Line* are my favorites of her films.
Back then to even get an agent you had to be able to sing, dance and play a instrument of some sort. If you couldn’t do all three it was very difficult unless you were just so beautiful. Then they didn’t have to even be very talented.
Agree. I'm a huge fan of both actresses, but I also think that Tuesday would've been a better fit, as Bonnie. She definitely had the acting chops, on par with Faye. She also is closer, physically to Bonnie Parker. But, it's water under the bridge. Tuesday never appeared to fully embrace the whole 'star trip'. I I once read that she passed on the part, anticipating it would be a major hit, and didn't want all the notoriety, that would go with it. She gravitated towards smaller, independent type films like Play it as it Lays, Pretty Poison, Serial... Her films were interesting and worthwhile and she always turned in a first rate performance. I thought she was brilliant in Looking for Mr. Goodbar, playing a supporting role, as Diane Keaton's (equally awesome) younger sister.
@@waynej2608 In retrospect, I think Faye Dunaway looked at a little too glamorous for Bonnie and Clyde--wasn't Tuesday Warren Beatty's first choice? I think she was also the first choice for Rosemarys Baby, and although Mia Farrow was great, Tuesday would have also been great in that, and she had already worked with Ruth Gordon in Lord Love a Duck. It's funny, I noticed later that Tuesday sometimes speaks a little like Ruth Gordon. And of course, she was also the first, or one of the first, choices for Lolita, as was Hayley Mills. Tuesday was have been perfect for Lolita, maybe too perfect[--when asked why she turned down the role, she said, "I don't have to play it, I am Lolita."
She's a stunning, beautiful woman; even today at 77, I'm sure she's still lovely. Come out of retirement Ms. Weld; you're terrific at your craft and missed by many, including myself.
It would definitely be a time that Tuesday could finally become a major star, since her Mother revealed she is African-American in her autobio If It's Tuesday, I Must Be Dead. One of her grandfathers was African-Ameriacn and in our society that makes her fully A-A. This is definitely a plus for a celebrity to be this today. Carol Channing & Chita Rivera revealed they were African-Americans at the end of their lives. Tuesday should too! Especially since she convinced the world (as far as a starlet lost in the shadow like so many of Sandra Dee back in the day) she was the white All-American girl. xox
One-of-a-kind actress. Tuesday Weld. I admire her free spirited independence. She is a great actress. So cool and a natural beauty. Lord Love a Duck is a favorite of mine. Also, loved her as Thalia Menninger in The Dobie Gillis Show. I must also add that A Safe Place is actually a fascinating movie. It's very artsy and bizarre so kind of got dismissed by the mainstream critics. But, the visuals and camera shots of Tuesday Weld are breathtaking in this movie and she is terrific in it as is the rest of the cast. You have to sort of watch A Safe Place a few times and allow yourself to interpret the movie the way you want. Anyway, a must for Tuesday Weld fans. I remember the whole family taking a two week vacation in the family Duster from Pittsburgh to Florida back in the summer of 1971. Those were the days lol
I like the Bayer commercial when that wise guy in the class room asks why Bayer doesn't buffer its aspirin. and why is there a whole class with people learning about Bayer aspirin? These people have nothing better to do on a Saturday afternoon then take a class on Aspirin?
Dinah Shore was a magnificent singer from the time she was still a teenager. A lot of older people tend to be dismissive simply because her TV show in the 50s was connected with Chevrolet. In fact she was one of the first women to break away from the big band tradition and have a solo career which very closely parallels that of Frank Sinatra.
Wonderful VERY natural interviews...Cavett' s great anyway but this was GRRRREEEEAAT.[ as Tony the Tiger would say]...-they' re all so totally different yet they MELDED so well...{I agree about 'Pretty Poison'..underrated film..}
Love Cavett's quick wit, Dinah's sense of humor and Tuesday's frank and extremely intelligent points of view. Great when Tuesday engaged Milton in a revealing moment.
Tuesday Weld is gorgeous and such a superb actress. She gave Oscar-worthy performances in "Pretty Poison" (68), "Play It As It Lays" (72) and "Looking for Mr. Goodbar" (77).
Don't forget her Oscar worthy scene trying on different colored sweaters for her father at the department store in Lord Love A Duck. Seriously, she also gave a great performance in I Walk the Line with Gregory Peck, and looked beautiful in that.
@@unfortunatebeam Ethereal and unattainable equals surreal. It's interesting when she talks about older actors not being happy, well she should no, she dated a lot of them. In 1961 while making Bachelor Flat at 18, she was dating Harry Dean Stanton who was twice her age, and they were constantly fighting. Costar Terry Thomas said Tuesday's behavior was the the most frightening thing he had ever seen in his life.
"Thief" is my favorite crime movie of the entire '80s decade. Every actor in it gave an Oscar-worthy performance, including singer Willie Nelson. Everything that would be hailed as groundbreaking 3 years later on TV's "Miami Vice" (also created by Michael Mann) was already front and center in his 1981 breakthrough film.
When he was asked, James Caan stated that "Frank" -- the main character in the film "Thief" -- was the best character he ever played. From top to bottom, this film was first rate...Hell, even the music was ground breaking. Michael Mann is one of the most intelligent directors of all time. He's right up there with Kubrick and Pollack.
Tuesday Weld, such a beauty. She was so shy and nervous. This is the most I have ever heard her speak and it was fun to watch. She put her daughter first. I admire that. I wish you were Louis Jordan. Such a handsome man and talented actor. Thank you for posting this.
+Christine Barney guess what...Tuesday IS STILL BEAUTIFUL...I worked w/ her on Falling Down with Mike Douglas and she's magnificent...and great taste in men. She was w/ Al Pacino for a few yrs.
The clip from A SAFE PLACE appears to be an "in-progress" work print. Powers that be wouldn't run anything this raw on these kinds of shows now. Everything has to be slick as it gets. Sometimes I miss that unabashed rawness. Thanks for posting.
Thanks for posting this! Dinah wanted to seem hip , singing "I Don't Know How To Love Him" from the recording, "Jesus Christ Superstar". The Broadway show opened right around this time.
Weld is in a vanguard all her own here, confidently and without shame revealing her emergence from dysfunction and alcohol dependency in a confessional style that (five years before Betty Ford's honesty made dependency confession palatable) most celebrities would take another fifteen years to master on the talk show-book promo circuit; the difference is that here she has nothing to gain other than her own honesty - she's not working for career capital, only finding a gentle wholistic voice for talking about how screwed up fame can be (and, again, way ahead of her time, turning down a major role because she needed time with her kid) - amazing.
She also said about that and another, that she turned down Bonnie and Clyde because she was nursing, but also because it reeked of success--and did they think she really wanted that? Same with Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice. She also turned down Lolita (saying "I didn't need to play it, I am a Lolita), and Rosemarys Baby.
I was just watching the DVD of the movie Tuesday is promoting here on the Dick Cavett show; A Safe Place. In the commentary section, director Henry Jaglom says Tuesday Weld was one of the greatest actresses Hollywood ever created. He also said Tuesday Weld, in his opinion, was the most talented actress of her generation! Only her unwillingness to follow the guidelines within the Hollywood system prevented Tuesday Weld from being a superstar actress as she turned down many huge roles that would become huge movies such as Lolita, Bonnie and Clyde, Cactus Flower, Rosemary's Baby, True Grit, and Bob, Carol, Ted, and Alice.
Only cable access shows of the '90's stayed this loose and freeform. Watching this now seems so improvisational compared to today's tightly scripted stuff.
Wish there were more unabridged, complete shows of Dick Cavett. Including commericals, promos and the musical bumper transitions and slate. This is the only one I've seen, that is complete. Most of the other clips seen here are short clips of interviews with the people of the day.
Tuesday Weld was extraordinarily beautiful, like Sylvie Vartan, France Gall, Cheryl Ladd, and so many others. There was an unauthorized bio book on her called Pretty Poison by Floyd Conner from '95, so they didn't mention it since the interview was in '71. She was also a good singer as well as a great actress.
Tuesday is my favorite, but she was not a good singer. her voice was done by Connie Francis in Rock Rock Rock, and the one single she did release is just okay. When I think of other blondes from that era I think of Yvette Mimieux and Jean Seberg also.
Dinah was dropped by Capitol in 1962 and recorded only a handful of albums over the next two decades. She recorded for friend Frank Sinatra's Reprise label in 1965, (Project 3, 1967), (Decca, 1969), (Stanyan, 1975), and , a double LP for Capitol in 1976. She recorded this album at the height of her talk show fame, and it featured her take on contemporary hits such as "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover", "The Hungry Years", and "Theme from (Do You Know Where You're Going To)". Her final studio album was released in 1979, for the Children's Television Workshop
Randy V. corrected me : the movie I mentioned below is "I Walk the Line". - Thanks Randy! - I hope you think as highly of it as I do. - Sometimes, I think, that without being obsessed with a film, it does one well to view it a few times. - (Do we look only once at a fine painting, and walk on by? - ...Probably we do. But...) The more I watch her performance, the more impressed I am by the subtleties of Miss Weld's performance, and ambiguity of her character. - I tried to read the book, and couldn't get into it. - This is a wonderful example of why some screenwriters, - some very good ones, can realign a book and give it a clean, aesthetic line. - Again, thanks Randy. I hope more people watch the movie.
Gail Jarvis I Walk the Line is one of my favorite Tuesday films also. She is so hypnotic and yet dangerous in a sort of innocent and naïve way. A critic once said the greatness of Tuesday Weld is that you don't know she is acting. She becomes the character that she plays. She has a vulnerability on-screen that make you care about her even when she plays a very flawed person. Tuesday never over-acted nor did she prefer the over-the-top hysterics "trap" that some actors fall into. She also did great work on television. But, in my opinion, her best motion picture run was between 1966 and 1972 with Lord Love a Duck, Pretty Poison, I Walk the Line, A Safe Place and Play It As It Lays. Tuesday turned down a lot of famous roles and instead took a path less taken. Some of her movies are an acquired taste but she is usually the best thing in them:) The clip shown on Dick Cavett is strange but it makes more sense if you see the entire movie. Tuesday is very good in A Safe Place although the movie may be too artsy and strange for some people. And, the camera shots of her in this movie are stunning. But, going back to I Walk the Line; I remember first seeing this move and thinking it might have some sappy Hollywood ending. Instead, we get Alma (Tuesday) putting an end to that notion once and for all;)
If you have not seen Lord Love a Duck, best example of her persona as a young actress and then watch Pretty Poison. Her best performance and one of Anthony Perkins best acting job. An absolute must for movie fans.
@@GH-oi2jf times of early 70's were of the natuarl look and the EARTH STYLE of makeup and dress, hemlines will plunge to below knee and the ANNIE HALL look is about 3 yrs hence, still a stunner even to this day
I just realized what I really like about Dick Cavett-- he always seemed to be amused in a sort of off-world way by the commercials of the day. As if he really was from 'somewhere else' , and some other time. But he does this is such a way that it's never demeaning to others. Admirable.
Funny!!! people say "she had so much potential" and how she (Tuesday) could have and should have.To me, this makes no sense, she did what her 'potential' permitted her to do, and that seems a lot more than many other beautiful young women that stumbled into 'fame traps' where dreams turned into nightmares .The impression I have of her in this interview is that her hippie influences and free spirit was much stronger than the glittering Hollywood lifestyle. Beauty can take a wrong turn up in them there hills.......gotta love those 70's commercials and promos.
You can see her in a "Bonnie"-like role, with Rip Torn, on a "Naked City" episode from 1962. `When newlyweds honeymoon in New York City, their happy time is interrupted by the husband's continual penchant for murder and robbery.´ m.ua-cam.com/video/375rETymbqw/v-deo.html
what a fantastic view of the prevailing times, and the immense power of advertising. The 'show' is really just a front for the advertising! wow. That's maybe blatantly obvious to some people, but is a huge revelation to me! :-)

She is a survivor. She overcame her early troubles, had a relatively long career with critical acclaim for her acting, if not always for her films, a long life, and she hung onto her money. I think she’s smarter than most actresses.

Dinah Shore always had a soft, sweet way of speaking and a calm energy. Tuesday Weld was a natural beauty.

Had a random dream about Tuesday Weld last night, and here I am!
She is a dream girl so that adds up.
Too many commercials.
Tuesday Weld is my favorite. But I remember as a teenager I had a dream about Yvette Mimieux that woke me up.
Oh my gosh, what a piece of history! With the commercials and all.
Have I mentioned lately that I love that the commercials are included! Window to the past.

Love Tuesday Weld. Love the Dick Cavett Show. And I love these commercials!
Wow, she answered every question honestly and intelligently. Nothing held back, no artifice.
Tuesday Weld is an incredibly articulate, talented and mature young woman. I think the biggest tragedy was type casting her as a "bimbo".
This is her actual speaking voice, right? Her natural voice sounds different from her movie voice (sweet, cute, high-pitched)
I don’t think “bimbo” is the right term for her early characters, which are usually described as “sex kitten.” She was sexy, but always had good dialogue in her roles.

Ten years after this interview Tuesday Weld gave a memorable performance alongside James Caan in director Michael Mann's "Thief."

Everything that would be hailed as groundbreaking 3 years later on TV's "Miami Vice" (also created by Michael Mann) was already front and center in his 1981 breakthrough film.

What Weld reveals here allows one to understand why and how she gave such a brilliant performance as Maria in 'Play is as it Lays.'

Weld is in a vanguard all her own here, confidently and without shame revealing her emergence from dysfunction and alcohol dependency in a confessional style that (five years before Betty Ford's honesty made dependency confession palatable) most celebrities would take another fifteen years to master on the talk show-book promo circuit; the difference is that here she has nothing to gain other than her own honesty - she's not working for career capital, only finding a gentle wholistic voice for talking about how screwed up fame can be (and, again, way ahead of her time, turning down a major role because she needed time with her kid) - amazing.
She also said about that and another, that she turned down Bonnie and Clyde because she was nursing, but also because it reeked of success--and did they think she really wanted that? Same with Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice. She also turned down Lolita (saying "I didn't need to play it, I am a Lolita), and Rosemarys Baby.
HI
Tuesday Weld and Troy Donahue in ' A Summer Place' WHAT a film ! And the Musical Score! JUST Beautiful! Shalom to us only in Christ Yeshua.
Tuesday Weld was beautiful
Love Tuesday Weld.
My favorite.
2023
Ok,,, I'll never say I miss the 70's again!!!!
I wish there were more women like Tuesday Weld and Dinah Shore today. Nice to see a long skirt on an attractive actress too.
+Warp Prime 42 yes.Classy dames are not often seen on TV...I do like Diane Keaton's clothes except for the gloves, glasses, hats INSIDE.
Yes, I agree 100%.
she pioneered the annie hall look AND HEMLINES FELL TO BELOW THE KNEES INMID TO LATE 70'S
Oh she brought her purse and sun glasses. Lol how cute. What year is this?
She looks like a hippie here. Good actress.
I never thought I'd see that Captain Cleanup spot whole and intact again.
I would love to see the episode w/Cavett & the kids! Those accents are great!
I love her with no make up. Naturally beautiful
I was just watching the DVD of the movie Tuesday is promoting here on the Dick Cavett show; A Safe Place. In the commentary section, director Henry Jaglom says Tuesday Weld was one of the greatest actresses Hollywood ever created. He also said Tuesday Weld, in his opinion, was the most talented actress of her generation! Only her unwillingness to follow the guidelines within the Hollywood system prevented Tuesday Weld from being a superstar actress as she turned down many huge roles that would become huge movies such as Lolita, Bonnie and Clyde, Cactus Flower, Rosemary's Baby, True Grit, and Bob, Carol, Ted, and Alice.
Ha! Dinah Shore singing "I don't know how to love him." She's like a human Theramin! All vibrato, all the time.
Oh lordy WILD IN THE COUNTRY with elvis - She was IT !
U got that right!!!!
Imagine 50 yrs ago we have this on tape ..pricelesss
When tape was tape, or maybe it was film.
Only cable access shows of the '90's stayed this loose and freeform. Watching this now seems so improvisational compared to today's tightly scripted stuff.
How did Tuesday Weld not do more than I know of,,,she was so beautiful
Wish there were more unabridged, complete shows of Dick Cavett. Including commericals, promos and the musical bumper transitions and slate. This is the only one I've seen, that is complete. Most of the other clips seen here are short clips of interviews with the people of the day.
It's August, 27th. Happy Birthday, Tuesday Weld!
She looks like Diane Lane which is a good thing, beautiful
I think she looks like Tuesday Weld which is even a better thing.
norelco pc I agree with you. Tuesday doesn't look like Diane Lane, I dislike Diane Lane, I liked very much Tuesday, lo!!!
she looks like Alison lohman
Yes, similar looks was exactly what I was thinking. Both talented, attractive and unique.
@@aandjay no she doesn't.
The boom operator is my favorite part of this show....
boy this show holds up better than the commercials
You know,I'm getting sick of you young punks knocking our generation!
Interesting life, she needs to be covered in a series.
Amazing! Time capsule. 🤓
I clicked on this because I wanted to see T.W. But as it turned out, Milton Berle stole the show....Awesome interview with M.B.
every time I ever watched berle it was me me me im the greatest and I guess he thought so???
I hadn't seen him as honest as he was here. Good. (Berle)
@@HEAD3455 Well, he made fun of his failed attempts at come back shows.
Tuesday Weld was extraordinarily beautiful, like Sylvie Vartan, France Gall, Cheryl Ladd, and so many others. There was an unauthorized bio book on her called Pretty Poison by Floyd Conner from '95, so they didn't mention it since the interview was in '71. She was also a good singer as well as a great actress.
Tuesday is my favorite, but she was not a good singer. her voice was done by Connie Francis in Rock Rock Rock, and the one single she did release is just okay. When I think of other blondes from that era I think of Yvette Mimieux and Jean Seberg also.
Dinah was dropped by Capitol in 1962 and recorded only a handful of albums over the next two decades. She recorded for friend Frank Sinatra's Reprise label in 1965, (Project 3, 1967), (Decca, 1969), (Stanyan, 1975), and , a double LP for Capitol in 1976. She recorded this album at the height of her talk show fame, and it featured her take on contemporary hits such as "50 Ways to Leave Your Lover", "The Hungry Years", and "Theme from (Do You Know Where You're Going To)". Her final studio album was released in 1979, for the Children's Television Workshop
Randy V. corrected me : the movie I mentioned below is "I Walk the Line". - Thanks Randy! - I hope you think as highly of it as I do. - Sometimes, I think, that without being obsessed with a film, it does one well to view it a few times. - (Do we look only once at a fine painting, and walk on by? - ...Probably we do. But...) The more I watch her performance, the more impressed I am by the subtleties of Miss Weld's performance, and ambiguity of her character. - I tried to read the book, and couldn't get into it. - This is a wonderful example of why some screenwriters, - some very good ones, can realign a book and give it a clean, aesthetic line. - Again, thanks Randy. I hope more people watch the movie.
Gail Jarvis I Walk the Line is one of my favorite Tuesday films also. She is so hypnotic and yet dangerous in a sort of innocent and naïve way. A critic once said the greatness of Tuesday Weld is that you don't know she is acting. She becomes the character that she plays. She has a vulnerability on-screen that make you care about her even when she plays a very flawed person. Tuesday never over-acted nor did she prefer the over-the-top hysterics "trap" that some actors fall into. She also did great work on television. But, in my opinion, her best motion picture run was between 1966 and 1972 with Lord Love a Duck, Pretty Poison, I Walk the Line, A Safe Place and Play It As It Lays. Tuesday turned down a lot of famous roles and instead took a path less taken. Some of her movies are an acquired taste but she is usually the best thing in them:) The clip shown on Dick Cavett is strange but it makes more sense if you see the entire movie. Tuesday is very good in A Safe Place although the movie may be too artsy and strange for some people. And, the camera shots of her in this movie are stunning. But, going back to I Walk the Line; I remember first seeing this move and thinking it might have some sappy Hollywood ending. Instead, we get Alma (Tuesday) putting an end to that notion once and for all;)
Play It As It Lays! EPIC
One of my favorites.
Tuesday is so honest just pure truthful no b.s. like they spew today
If you have not seen Lord Love a Duck, best example of her persona as a young actress and then watch Pretty Poison. Her best performance and one of Anthony Perkins best acting job. An absolute must for movie fans.
Imagine a actress going camera today without makeup like she's doing.
She’s wearing makeup though
SlayMe Queen - Yes, but she didn’t glam up.
Shoot First - I think it was because of who she is rather than the times.
@@GH-oi2jf times of early 70's were of the natuarl look and the EARTH STYLE of makeup and dress, hemlines will plunge to below knee and the ANNIE HALL look is about 3 yrs hence, still a stunner even to this day
she's honest and gorgeous and beautiful
agreed!
Tuesday Weld was no slouch either!
Tuesday reminds me of Sienna Miller, All the men in Hollywood wanted to date her too.
I just realized what I really like about Dick Cavett-- he always seemed to be amused in a sort of off-world way by the commercials of the day. As if he really was from 'somewhere else' , and some other time. But he does this is such a way that it's never demeaning to others. Admirable.
She was beautiful!
When she was a regular on the Doby Gillis show in the 1960's, I had a super crush on her.
Incredible natural beauty just gorgeous......loved her as Thalia Menninger on Dobie Gillis.
Always Crashing In the Same Car by Matthew Specktor brought me here. Great book for those who haven't heard of it.
I love the commercials.
I could totally see her doing the Bonnie Parker role
Tuesday weld was great actress and also milton berle is one the funniest comedian
This woman is stunning, even without makeup!
Today is Super Tuesday-and William Weld is still on the ballot!
Funny!!! people say "she had so much potential" and how she (Tuesday) could have and should have.To me, this makes no sense, she did what her 'potential' permitted her to do, and that seems a lot more than many other beautiful young women that stumbled into 'fame traps' where dreams turned into nightmares .The impression I have of her in this interview is that her hippie influences and free spirit was much stronger than the glittering Hollywood lifestyle. Beauty can take a wrong turn up in them there hills.......gotta love those 70's commercials and promos.
I was too young to realize how beautiful Dinah Shore was or how sexy her voice.
Underated...missing you missing you susan
The Real Tuesday Weld. Good band.
Gotta get me some of that Domino Sugar.
Her name is so unusual . Tuesday weld .
Like Daisy Duke: Tuesday was a natural-beauty babe!
Tuesday Weld, wow what a dish.
She would have been a great Bonnie Parker in Bonnie & Clyde
Just my opinion but I've always considered Faye Dunaway as an over the top actress. I think Tuesday would have been a better choice.
@Aaron Morris Yeah, Tuesday Weld is the kind of the-girl-next-door beauty
You can see her in a "Bonnie"-like role, with Rip Torn, on a "Naked City" episode from 1962.
`When newlyweds honeymoon in New York City, their happy time is interrupted by the husband's continual penchant for murder and robbery.´
m.ua-cam.com/video/375rETymbqw/v-deo.html
Imagine the sexual harassment she endured trying to make it in Hollywood.
Apparently it's your fantasy.
what a fantastic view of the prevailing times, and the immense power of advertising.
The 'show' is really just a front for the advertising! wow. That's maybe blatantly obvious to some people, but is a huge revelation to me! :-)
I never even heard of Tuesday Weld til today, on a Tuesday.. how ironic
I mostly remember her from the movie "Looking for Mr. Goodbar." This must've been several years before that.
