Bill was so perceptive and levelheaded - his views on privacy are spot on. Once again, thank you for another segment with him - very much appreciated! He was one of a kind.
He clearly thought deeply about many things and perhaps was weighed down by them. It's good to see that despite his demons he presented himself as sharp and lucid. Great actor.
He was sharper than the majority for sure.
Bogart said it best: "All you owe the public is a good performance.'" Celebrity or not, your personal life is your own business.
William Holden once said of Bogart..."I hate that bastard."
Interviews with William Holden are rare and often insightful. There is such a dichotomy between the erudite man we see and hear here and the man he was off camera. A man with many demons, skeletons and a terrible addiction to alcohol. He did guard his privacy: He died alone, never seeking medical attention.
The circumstances of his death make me sad, even now.
Bill Holden was always so insightful and articulate. Its really refreshing to get to see everyone on the stage engaged in that level of conversation. So civilised and professional.
In his day one of the best actors and best looking guys to come out of Hollywood.
GOD we lost so many good actors.. am so fortunate to have seen these actors in good movies
This was great thank you for Part 2. Bill's views on privacy are so prevalent today, he really nailed it. Bill was so articulate and well spoken. He was spot on in his views as was Eartha Kitt.
A very intelligent man. His friend Glen Ford said he was found with a phone close by and he thought he didn't call for help because he didnt want the attention and scandal, so sad.
@@CreakyCricket , I choose not to beLIEve any 'news', esp if it's from 'Tinsel Town'!
Thanks for the second part of this interview, I love William Holden
Now that's an American. 👍
William so cool, articulate and that voice! Sad the bottle got to him😢
Bill Holden was pure class and seemed quite intelligent. That year too, Holden starred in one of his greatest films ever: "The Wild Bunch."
Holden deserved an Oscar for his role as Pike Bishop in The Wild Bunch. He was absolutely brilliant in it. It's also Peckinpah's greatest film.
@@RobinSchoutenRS Agreed. Although the film wasn't his last film, I think The Wild Bunch is Holden's swan song as far as acting is concerned. A fantastic anti-hero is how Holden's film characters should be remembered from Stalag 17, to Bridge on the River Kwai, to Sunset Boulevard and ultimately to The Wild Bunch.
Don't forget him in Network, which was about five years after Wild Bunch. He carries that film, even though Peter Finch had the flashier role as the unraveling anchorman. Holden was one of the last of the old-school leading men, but always watchable, and very compelling on screen. I grew up watching his films, and would rank him as one of the all-time greats. His remarks about even actors having a right to privacy sound like they could have been made yesterday. Especially as social media seems to be making the very idea of privacy irrelevant...
50 years on...and more true than ever.
I never knew what a class act William Holden was, it gave me even more respect for him. (Eartha I knew and Dick is as wonderful as he always was.) I wonder what he would have thought of our social media era where we are our own newspapers and there are millions of anonymous Louellas and Heddas...
So, you actually beLIEve everything put in front of you on the Talmudvision?
thanks for uploading these fine interviews of William Holden, I placed it in my playlist
It's tragic that things have only gotten worse today!
Lovin these interviews with the stars of yesteryear. Keep it up, Mr. C!!
They would be shocked to see reporting nowadays
Visionnaire.
I love Willian Holden movies.great actor.👏👏👏
I totally agree with Bill. There is no privacy for people that have experienced in tradegies.
Now those same people are going after everyone that does not agree with them.
I'm thinking of the Don Henley song Dirty Laundry.
Truly a great interview, prophetic yet historic. Who is that pretty girl? I can't think of her name.
That's Eartha Kitt.

Cat Woman
That is Eartha Kitt. She's superb in every way.
He is damned right. Probably took too much on board.
Reading his bio and throughout his life he would not reconcile the press & public intruding on his privacy. Not that he should have but that coupled with his self-doubts made for much turmoil and his alcoholism was fueled by it.
The lovely Eartha Kitt - with Orson Welles in his early career and one of his many girlfriends.
I knew billy a long long time
So????
Lucky you.Anything you can share?
This started way back ..when movies began in the beginning of films & people wanted to know more about their favorite film Star ⭐✨.... This is nothing new ... also film Stars lead privileged lives on the support of the film goer..so they feel that they have a right to know something about them ...
NOTHING from HollyWEIRD is true!
If gooey means cashing in on others tragedies then money is the reason.
I think that means the poor are excused because the one at the center has something they don't.
Is it possible it is fooling around to one and a way to teach what happens when the welfare of someone is talked about freely?
I think that is what is really being tested.
Sounds like Eartha knew of today's middle class republican ,believe the worst.
So, you actually thiMk that there is a difference between the 2 SATANIC secret societies you vote for every 4 years?
Sunset Blvd - Kwai - Network
THE WILD BUNCH
Executive Suite.
@@QuadMochaMatti Great film too.
Stalag 17 will always be my favorite.
Alcoholism is evident with his premature aging that ultimately killed him…terrible drug!😢
The smoking on top of that killed him for sure. I'm 70 now, 8 years sober, and I haven't been sick in 37 years bc of my vegan, mostly raw diet, and my fasting regimen.
