Nina V … Dakota Fanning was a good actress when she was a kid but haven't seen her in anything since. I know she's been in some teen type movies but that's about it as far as I know. I haven't seen any of her interviews yet.
She just exudes grace, intelligence, and charisma the way she holds herself in this interview alone. Wow... You don't get this kind of personality often nowadays.
She just got coached like actors get today. I dont see any difference whatsoever. The answers are as predictable as always, not that anything would be wrong about it.
+woosung58 Sue Lyon was a sad case. She got typecast as the blonde teen "nymphet" and never could live that baggage down. She said later that she never liked Hollywood and wished she'd never gotten involved in film.
+Christopher Banacka ...Shelley Winters was a hot commodity herself at one time......watch "Winchester '73"...she was gorgeous at that point in her career...
Sue Lyon was certainly an exceptional child. Here, at age 16, she engages in a thoughtful, articulate interview with calmness and precision. Her grammar is precise, and her vocabulary is literate and free of adolescent jargon. That she was also physically beautiful and had that mysterious "it" which enraptures viewers (male and female) destined her to be a star. In later interviews, as she grew older, she said that she simply despised the endless grind of film promotion, and she left the business. She suffered from bi-polar problems -- apparently a curse that high-IQ young actresses experience -- and her personal life became a mess. An apparently nice person, too. Terribly sad.
wow. i’ve been wondering why i never saw here in much aside form this movie (where i thought she did wonderfully with such a tough and complex role at just 14!) but didn’t know any of this about her. thank you!
Sue Lyon💫was unbeliably intelligent, gorgeous,❤ self assured, CLEVER!!!. People has become awfully more stupid , shy and unreachable nowaday. What a pity!! The oppression 👹has become so great, we can stand it very little
I could be wrong, but I get the impression that the average 16-year-old was much more educated and mature back in those days, at least in the US and in other Western countries. But she was definitely very smart compared to other 16-year-olds regardless of the times.
She was forced to act mature for her age- and that took it's toll on her. When you are forced to ignore your emotions and act perfect from a young age, it dismantles you. She suffered affective disorders in her adult life.
Peter Kroll That’s the scary thing. She seems so poised and eloquent and refined, but that was the standard then. It’s our time which is the strange and abnormal one, full of ignorance, degeneracy and lunacy. And a total lack of awareness and sophistication.
@@SMKification I noticed that in so many interview videos. It's not only people from America, but that's one of the countries with the most stark difference. This is interesting as well: ua-cam.com/video/kiKQW3ausPw/v-deo.html
Very lovely and intelligent beyond her years here in this interview. She was wise to get out of Hollyweird, which is a demonic and evil place. God bless Sue Lyon and hope she is happy and doing well. She was a wonderful actress, but real life is way more important.
RedMoney Affirmations There is no evidence because no one has ever suggested it. The person above is a fucking moron. Throwing around serious accusations like this like it’s a joke.
You can see why she landed the part. Wickedly intelligent and freakishly mature... confident, composed considering her age. One has to wonder where people like this come from.
Acutualy most are, but you have delusional image about how an average teenager looks, since the last time you have spoken to one was when you were that age and that was probably good 30 years ago.
floraison you are living in a delusional world. All the teenagers I’ve spoken to of late are complete idiots. No way I was that dumb when I was 16. I was reading many books, and knew communism doesn’t work. Also, I wasn’t a leftest sjw woke snowflake like teens are now.
+Hannify Dinn Yes, and your diction and grammar prove it pretty conclusively. A friendly tip...if you set out to proclaim a seismic decline in academic prowess and it's associated drop in collective I.Q., then do so in a manner that separates yourself from that calamity, instead of providing a glaring example of that which you ineffectively rail against. Those of us spared your "dumbing down" notice the irony immediately. And...14 idiots give your barely literate comment a thumbs up, not recognizing or not caring about the titanic irony, which paradoxically proves your point. Amazing. By the way...that's how you do it.
She has the voice of a 25 year old, oh my goodness. Such maturity. Can you imagine the women of today speaking half as well? 60s women were ladies, what happened...women think it's cute to act stupid now.
Even though she was more mature & well-spoken than most 16-yr old's of her time, you can see just how far our society has degraded in the last 50 years.
December 28, 2019. Lolita star, dies at 73 . Sue Lyon, the star of Stanley Kubrick's Lolita, has died. Lyon died on Thursday, according to The New York Times. Her friend Phil Syracopoulos announced her death and said that she had been in “declining health” for a while.
Can we stop commenting her beauty. Seriously guys it's demeaning her. She was such a good actress it's sad that she didn't become a star. She really had the talent to go places. To become a Hollywood Starlet. She just got the wrong roles after Lolita and kinda lost her style after it. It's a real shame. So calm, collected and articulate. An amazing woman.
WorldReligion No, we can't. Beauty, tantalizing, and fatal, is the crux of Nabokov's book. "The poison was in the wound you see, and the wound wouldn't heal." Take your puritannical soul and go shove it...or to put it in an even better writer's words: "Dost thou think thou art virtuous, there shall be no more cakes and ale?"
In a rare later interview, she says how sick she got of these interviews, and promotion tours, with constant travel, and the press all over her...said she really couldn't handle it, makes sense...stars should be allowed mystery....
Sue Lyon is by FAR the best Lolita. Exactly why she didn't become a big star is a mystery to me. Evidently the people helping her select projects were rather lax. She didn't appear to be "weird" back then. I know she had a couple of early and rather brief marriages, but her later marriage lasted over 20 years, I think she was married to a radio disc jockey. That marriage ended. She has a grown daughter, I know. I do not know where she is living now, but she looks little like she looked while a teenager. It is unfortunate she didn't last in the business. She should have. She really "had it."
She was popular with directors eager to push sexual boundaries with young girls, in or out of movies. When you been a good girl for mom and your boss, and your soul is destroyed, you may choose to disappear
@@SunSky. Reading this comment all these years later, it is very interesting to see a someone mention this prior to the James B. Harris allegations in 2020.
Wow, what an intelligent, thoughtful girl. Such a shame that her handlers didn't find those parts they promised her. Compare her to, say, Patty Duke. Prettier, smarter and a great personality. She should have had her own TV series.
Lyon died in West Hollywood on the morning of December 26, 2019 at the age of 73.[12] While no specific cause of death was given, she was reported to have been in poor health "for some time.
My friends and I were just arriving at puberty when Lolita came out. We thought Sue was the most beautiful chick in the World. We all had dreams, guess what kind. RIP Sue.
“My destruction as a person dates from that movie. Lolita exposed me to temptations no girl of that age should undergo. I defy any pretty girl who is rocketed to stardom at 14 in a nymphet role to stay on a level path thereafter." -Sue Lyon, 1996
The worst thing the movie did was to make Lolita a sex symbol. This allowed people to view young girls as being complicit in their own sexual exploitation. In the book, Humbert is definitely a sick pedo. Lolita in the book looks like a “monkeyish” flat chested small kid of 11-12. Also Sue Lyon later blamed the movie for originating her mental problems. She said no girl of 14 should make that kind of movie and be a sex symbol. It is also said that producer John Harris took her virginity during the time the movie was being made. Quite sick & tragic. Honestly parents should protect their children from this kind of exposure at such a young age and now I’m glad that times have changed and these things are no longer allowed. You can’t exploit kids like this.
Justin Simmons i love the film and i think sue lyon is very talented. but objectively, this is far from one of the best performances in film. it’s a good performance, but not even close to the best.
+Carlos Fernandez She is a recluse now at age 69. A photographer snuck a long range photo of her and she looks like death warmed over. Photo can be googled.
Just saw The Flim-Flam Man (1967). A great movie. One that stays and develops more and more in your mind. The ending makes a film. Michael Sarazzin who is determined to prevent his friend George Scott from a lifetime imprisonment. Sue Lyon sitting aside her friend Michael Sarazzin while he is about to free George Scott. The father of Sue Lyon who will defend Michael Sarazzin. It is just so awesome what they achieved back in the Peak Century of popular Art.
Very troubled woman. Was diagnosed as a manic-depressive and was prescribed lithium. She later said she had struggled on and off with this since she was 16. Married 5 times. 1 a black football player, 1 a convicted murderer in prison. She worked as a cocktail waitress and lived in a hotel in Denver nearby. She married him in 1973 and began working for prison reform and conjugal rights. Unfortunately this was another short-lived marriage as she divorced him after he committed yet another robbery.
She was a smart, poised, talented and beautiful girl. She just needed more supervision. I get the impression she was kind of self-emancipated from her mom at this point. And later she fell in with the wrong crowd. Her beauty and charm unfortunately lead her to hook up with some awful people. Essentially, she followed a similar path as the character Lolita..
She was often treated as a teeny bopper ditz. This is an actress who was specifically chosen for a KEY role in an important picture by two of the top directors: Stanley Kubrick and John Huston for Night of the Iguana.
Remarkably Precocious. Doubting any 'young starlet' today.. would or 'could...behave, speak, and 'interview' with the intellect and poise, Ms. Lyon was capable of, all those years ago.
She was two years older than I. I wasn’t allowed to see the movie, but it was all the talk. I remember seeing a photo of her in a magazine, probably Life or Look. She was wearing a very full shirtwaist dress with a belt, and very high heels. She’d placed one foot in front of the other, and was smiling confidently. I remember thinking how mature and beautiful she appeared, and I admired her very much.
This child was traumatised, abused from a very early age. She is too hard and jaded for 16. Directors then got away with anything with or without 'mother's' approval

She is unrecognizable in this interview from the movie. Here, two years after she filmed her scenes, she looks much more like a little kid.😮

I wasn’t allowed to see the movie, but it was all the talk.
I remember seeing a photo of her in a magazine, probably Life or Look.
She was wearing a very full shirtwaist dress with a belt, and very high heels.
She’d placed one foot in front of the other, and was smiling confidently.
I remember thinking how mature and beautiful she appeared, and I admired her very much.
Rest easy Sue. She was so incredibly beautiful in the movie The Flim-Flam Man.
She is so confident, secure and centered. Not the stereotype 9f the blonde girl at all.
Cute girl.
Loved her in Murder in a blue world and The film flam man
she talks like an adult
… and every other word isn’t “like”.
No teen actress today is mature enough to pull off a role like Sue Lyon’s Lolita or Jodie Foster’s Iris (Taxi Driver).
RIP to a great actress.
rest in peace sweet Sue, will love u Always!!!
Goodbye Lolita...
RIP Sue Lyon
She's a teen here?! I assumed she was in her twenties!
Just 16 and so polite and intelligent answers. No vulgarity.
This child was traumatised, abused from a very early age. She is too hard and jaded for 16. Directors then got away with anything with or without 'mother's' approval
Unfortunately she made some really bad choices along the way. Four disastrous marriages. Take a look at whom she chose.
RIP. Unforgettable as Lolita even if a few years too old for the part.
Kubrick had to change Lolita's age from 12 to 15 to get the movie made. She was 14 at the time.
The Hays Code was still in effect in 1961/62; there was no way to be completely authentic to the novel.
That is one classy cool and intelligent 16 year old
