A true sophisticate of deliberately mysterious origins, Yul Brynner was at home in a wide variety of languages and social environments. At an early age, he found his perfect role in The King And I.
The Academy Award-winning success that might have become a trap for a lesser star, became the ongoing glory of his career from the peak of his stardom to his untimely death. Including clips from The King And I, The Ten Commandments, Anastasia, The Magnificent Seven, The Brothers Karamazov, and Westworld, and interviews with former wife Doris Brynner, children Rock Brynner and Victoria Brynner, actors Eli Wallach, Rita Moreno, director John Frankenheimer and others.
I remember shortly before and after his death, Yul Brynner did a public announcement. He died from cancer and his announcement read, "Don't smoke, just please, don't smoke." If only others would listen to his advice. What a King...
In This Video, go to, 52:10 and see him say it.
When I was a teenager he was my idol . When I saw him on stage in the king and I and he played his dying scene you could hear the audience sobbing.
I cannot imagine anyone else playing Ramses. He WAS Ramses. Even when I was a child, I loved watching him. Great talent, rare beautiful man
My parents introduced me to Yul Brunner,❤️🎆 love @ first sight , yul looked fantastic in Magnificent Seven, miss and long for the days that I use to watch old movies with my parent's
@@charlenewilliams6523 I saw this film several times. Impossible not love our dear Yul Brynner.
I thank my father, he introduced me to many old movies, the best actor for me back to the fifties is the unmistakably Sir Yul Brunner
Thank you Daddy for the introduction,,!💞❤️
P
MansahRe (the real name of Ramses) was black. But it's ok I like Yul Brynner Mr Solomon.
I saw Yul Brenner in 'The King and I' in Atlanta at the Fox Theater. Magnificent projection and sheer power from the stage. He was one of the truly great actors.
Magnificent! ❤❤❤❤!
Evidently, Rock Brynner got his dad's voice; Victoria got her dad's smoldering dark eyes! I've seen every single one of his movies, some of them several times. In 1972, I became the proud owner of a photo of Yul autographed to me by Yul, which today hangs in my living room. He signed it at his Malibu home, when I worked for Pepperdine University at the Chancellor's home in Malibu. Yul is, and will always remain, my very favorite actor.
Yul Brinner was a gorgeous and remarkable actor unique and the only with his soul and personality strenght.
A great KING!!!
I admired his courage while he was dying of lung cancer and spoke about the danger of smoking cigarettes.
That was the mark of that great man.
Yes I remember that!
Yes I can remember him on an TV ad when I was young man telling people about the dangers of smoking cigarettes that an long time ago great actor may he Rip 🙏😷☘️
@@michaelcoffey1307 If he had not smoked we would have got much more from him, such a shame.
It make me mad to seen some people smoking cigarettes as they do not knowing the damage there doing to there lungs and don't know why some people would pick u up smoking in first place it an very bad habit and i ost my mother to lung cancer she was only 53 years old and when she was dying she told me she wish she have never smoked it broke my heart to hear this from your dying mother and to this day I can still remember hear words what she said to me may she R.i.P Mom ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ 🙏🙏🙏 so please if anyone reading this and your an smoker please give up cigarettes you are only damaging your good Health and your lungs will love you for it ❤️☘️
Yes, there was only one. Will never be another. Such charisma... such an actor... such sex appeal. Definitely an original.
I love Yul. When I was 12 years old, my mom and I would stay up late and watch old movies and eating popcorn. Yul was our absolute favorite male character. Such wonderful memories.
Yul Brynner was like a beautiful mountain storm, Frightening and yet, you couldn't take your eyes off him. He just pulled you in. Fabulous!
Yep.

TOTALLY TRUE
Most definitely
I cried when he died. One of my favorite actors.
No matter what part he played.....he made his character come to life. He was most enjoyable to watch
I was blessed to see him on stage in the play "The King and I", in Portland OR. He was outstanding. We all stood and clapped at the end of him singing about the bees and flowers, as well as stood and clapped at the end of the play. I had a friend who delivered pizza several times to him at the end of a very long driveway and he always answered the door and had a chat. He loved talking and sharing. After he passed from lung cancer 1985, I think, he had made a commercial about how dangerous smoking was. Such a loss. To this day I miss him, and wonder what would his next role would be.
Whatever he was..... Wow!! This century's most powerful actor+ humanitarian!!
Ahhh - the great Yul Brynner! Who practically stole The Ten Commandments from Charlton Heston ... those piercing eyes, that great physique, that magnetism and the ultimate in sex appeal ... what a magnificent man! Not to mention a good actor.
He was gorgeous.
My mother sat next to Mr. Brynner in first class on a Pan Am flight in the early sixties and had him autograph her passport which I got when she passed away.
Thanks 😎😊👌
Nice.
That would be awesome , I have a plate with him on it . I like listen what ever I can find about him . But I also liked Jimmy Stewart.
WOW!
I will always remember him in The 10 Commandments and The King and I. Fabulous actor, there will never be another that can come close to him.
He did a marbellous job on the Ten Commandments.
Yul Brenner was one of a kind. There will never be another. They talk a lot about "toxic masculinity" lately. I will take the masculine man, any time: And have.💋🌹
Yeah, nothing toxic about him. Just irresistibly sexy. Feel sorry for women who are so afraid of this kind of man because they are wonderful....if you want to feel like a woman.
1918 flu influza
You need to look up the meaning of toxic masculinity. It definitely does not apply to Yul and it doesn't mean that men should not be masculine.
Men of today could watch and learn from Mr brynner
Hecate's daughter - Amen, Sister! Amen.
I'm 71 now, many years ago, I saw him in the Ten Commandments (I was about 8 or 9) and I thought he was drop dead gorgeous then ... may he rest easy. 🥰
WHAT A MAN! My favorite actor of all time!
Children who appreciate their father; an amazing actor and director. What a great life. Victoria, you've so classed beauty from your father; and you're so lovely in your own right given your mother. A charismatic son, Rock; what a name for a son and that captivating voice. And Rita Moreno: a talented, lovely actress. Keith
Yes. So nice to see Rita too!
He was my absolute favourite. Wonderful man, he had charisma.
Great movie star ! I loved the way He was walking, with grace and
importance, like a King,one of my favorite actor. RIP 😇😍
LEAH MARANTO yep, I am a short, bald, fit guy and I carry myself like King of my world everywhere I go.
Truly one of the Giants of all Giants when he came on the screen he was so majestic and held your offer so much that when he came on screen you stop breathing for a while and then the acting that he was able to accomplish in his life was unbelievable he was and he was the pharaoh and when he was on screen you just thought what a man truly captivating
Loved this man and his movies!!! Gone too soon!!!!
I am a big fan of Yul, he was my crush, even now that I am old
I fell in love with YUL as a young girl. I cried what seemed for yrs when he died. he was just an awesome man. I still love and miss him nd his acting, very talented
Thank you for this fascinating video concerning the life of Yul Brynner. I am old enough to remember his impact in the first film production of The King and I. A truly unique man and actor; no one will ever imitate him.
I saw Brynner on Broadway in 1978. Magical. I was supposed to interview for a job. The interview, on a Wed, was cancelled. With free time my sister and I got tickets for the matinee. I remember it like yesterday. We were 20 rows form the stage :)
Love
The epitome of ALL man, there was no one else who could have played Ramses like he did!! Those mysterious, sexy golden brown eyes, OMG!!!! Yul was also great in the original Magnificent Seven western & of course, The King & I, he was on Broadway with that for years!! Sexy, charismatic, that beautiful manly accented voice & of course, that panther like walk!!
Love him, RIP dear Yul 🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡🧡 I hope he found the Lord before he died
I grew up watching him. My Mother and Grandmother loved him. He was such a great actor.
He was an amazing and talented actor
so many years after and so many men watching around, I still find Yul Brynner the sexiest man I have ever seen.
Gotta Love him is right. Incredibly amazing.Mystery man is what Yul was or mysterious and so beautiful to see and hear.😘🌹🥰🎬🎭💕🌹
One of my favorite actors of all time there is very few actors nowadays who can compete with old school hollywood
Wow what a man , What a legend..
His charisma alone could command like a king
One of the sexiest men in the world
for sure
Ahhh THE KING AND I .My mother RIP Favourite movie & actor Yul Brynner.
The March of the King's Children! When the twins show up is my favorite part!
I always loved and admired this actor and saw him Live on stage at the London Palladium in the King and I
Janet Walmsley-Heron
I am an Actor and had an audition at the London Palladium for " The King And I" 1979 .

london palladium fancy
How cool!
They broke the mold with Yul! He was an original!
I bought the King and I a few years ago, but I never get tired of watching it.
Yul Brynner was sexy as hell and very mesmerizing!!! When he would play not so well liked characters it was very hard for me to hate him. And at that time to be bald and sexy was unique and rare. The talent that he possessed was immense! Somehow, when I watched him on screen and he would talk in a scene as if he was giving a speech, I felt like he was putting me under a spell. He was one of a kind!!
wonderful. what a man.
I saw him in London in the King and I in the 70’s. Mesmerizing!
Thank you for this wonderful video! I think my favorite film of Yul Brynner's is "The Sound & The Fury" with "The King & I" coming in a close 2nd. I still have a beautiful autographed photo of Mr. Brynner that he was kind enough to send to me when I was in High School back in the 80's and I still have it in an album and cherish it to this day.
Truly an amazing actor the likes of which seldom comes along.
Yul Brynner is a man's man as far as actors go...
We will never have actors like these again...
Yul had a presents about himself that has never been matched by any man then or even today.
I'll never forget Westworld! He was one of the best
I also saw his last performance in the king and i. It was in Atlanta at the fabulous fox theater afew monhs beore he died. I was so blessed to s
love Yul he was an amazing actor
My 1st childhood crush. Always.
so let it be written, so let it be done!
One of cinema's greatest lines of all time.
bullwinkle moose yes the Ten Commandments ...
AH,come on , was he GOD???
How can you NOT admire The Yul Brynner? He had swagger before it was a thing.
He is so talented n handsome too.. Luv his acting 👍👍😍♥️
As a young lad, yule was my favourite actor
I’ve adored him forever
Nobody can’t take his place.Absolutely,
The eyes have it! In addition to being “ the window to the soul”❤
Great documentary he was the King in my eyes amazing actor no one can come close to him ever or since !
Always the best Actor in the Ten Commandments...old Actors and Actresses are much better than nowadays...Yul and Charleston...and many others
A wonderful actor who was fantastic in everything he did. A true superstar in every sense of the word. So called superstars these days are nothing compared to the Hollywood actors of the golden age.
His presence was palpable.
He was mesmerizing! He was a great original!!
He was sooo sexy & talented. RIP
He is the best ever!
Just finished watching program. Ironic. This great actor did arrive in a shiny long black Limousine, and he saw me cross the Street in front of him after i exited a Ford van! As someone who was born in Germany, even though i grew up in a DP Camp, it was very embarrassing, especially when he turned his head to glance at my mode of transportation! Sent trays of pastries for the children and crew, due to feeling so inadequate.
As a child the King and I was my favorite movie. He terrified me but I loved him too. 🥰❤
The crush I had on Yul Brynner when I was a child…..oh my!❤️
Simply Excellent!! Thank you 😊
Yul Brynner
Thank you for everything you did..xx
I love this actor much
You will be missed god bless you .sandra s.💘🤗
Yul Brynner , my childhood hero. Nobody before or ever will be like h.
Yul Brynner -- a truly great actor who was believable in any role he played.
I was about 7 years old girl and I did fell in love with Yul and I still like him at 64. 💓💓💓
I discovered Yul Brynner when I was 16 years old at a drive-in theater watching Westworld. I was fascinated by his entire aspect. That smoldering glance, that resonant voice! I was smitten. Then I saw The Ten Commandments, The King and I with Deborah Kerr, and The Magnificent Seven. What a man! I've been in love with him ever since (as many women are I am sure) even though the 16 year old kid is now a 63 year old woman. RIP Yul Brynner. You will always have my heart.
Try watching THE KING AND I.....YOU WILL MELT!!!!
👍🎯💜
Nothing wrong with that, Cathy. Hell, I'm a 50 year-old man and I'M practically "in love" with Yul Brynner!
Yes! The King and I the first movie that ever made me cry when the King dies! 😭❤️. 🎶This is a man who stumbles and falls but this is a man who tries! 😭🎶. Also those Oscar Hammerstein lyrics!! ❤️
@@Jaake-my2rq 😊
Rest in Peace Mr. Brynner. Thank you for sharing your amazing talents with the world. You are an original, never to be duplicated. A real, true movie star.
That's why old movies and movies stars like him who are very unique their acting or the actors themselves can never be duplicate. I had once read this in one of the books call the prediction of the year 2000. It said that careers in Acting can NEVER be duplicate by a computer 🖥 and the unique Actors and Actress will be the highest paid. So you go figure.
Yule Brynner, total legend. Today's actors should take a long look and cry. RIP wonderful man
Uh ... why on earth would they do that?
@@fifthbusiness1678 sad you can't figure it out from the comment.
I'll have the king's laugh in my ear for the rest of my life, so iconic he was.
Charlton and Yul are eternal cultural landmarks for our republic and nation.
I've often told others who ask "how will I know that we've passed the point of no return"?
And I tell them "when you can no longer find The Ten Commandments listed on network television in the month of April, the show is over. Literally.
Awesome Intelectual Actor. Rest in peace Mr Brynner
Thank you to the producers of this biography for allowing the admirers of this magnificent “king” a glimpse into the life of our icon. Beautifully produced and directed and a real tribute to the man we all so loved.
He looked Persian Aryan and he was sexy. His face was so well defined, his eyes mysterious, lips full and sensual. He had a true mystery about him. Through his gaze one would seemingly be hypnotized. 🔮
Perfect for the stage and screen.
No he doesn't... Which persian have you seen looks like that? I'll wait...
@@beyourself2444 I think he was the ultimate real male human macho specie ,sensually attractive,with that voice and eyes that penetrates into your soul.
@@beyourself2444 Yeah…show me what Persian that didn’t share his features then.
What happen to his hair or lack thereof?
I believe he was part R0mani (Gypsy...) he had a few mixes...I recall him 0n a talk sh0w....he never revealed fully......he als0 sang...
It's amazing that his son inherited that voice
No he doesn't, he doesn't sound anything like him
He does a bit.
I was 9 years old when Yul Brenner came to London to perform Anna And The King. I went with my Nan and Mum. I was in absolute tears at the end and for the applause. I was already a very young fan of his movies and was absolutely besotted with him as a child. Forever imbedded in me, he was beautiful, strong and charismatic to me and his voice made me melt. I loved his performances in film and on stage. To this day, Yul Brenner has left an indelible mark. ❤❤❤
YUL BRYNNER IS THE KING IN THE FINEST PERFORMANCE IN THE HISTORY OF BROADWAY AND FILM
I always thought he was such a beautiful looking man, such an amazing bone structure and those wonderful eyes and of course, not forgetting that voice, that presence that not many have. Wonderful actor and the
King and I as always remained one of my all-time favourite films. No,
for sure, Mr Yul Brynner may have left but he most certainly can never be forgotten.
Skygazer And woman if you see him in that clip on Utube in that dance. Worth a look.
the other one is of course Mr Omar Shariff
His son voice same like his father.
@@lanahylana664 go how about Sean Connery?
Ishmael or Abram.. one of Abrahams four sons. The others include Isaac or Job. full circle moment for him when he played Ramses in Ten Commandments. His predecessor helped build those Pyramids and was actually one of the victims of the wrath or God & Moses. he of course did not die. in todays era. Bruce Willis- Isaac(oldestson) Telly Savales- Ismael or Abram. Job-unknown/unfamous citizen walking around and living regularly in NYC. How do i Know all this? The God of death knows a thing or two about reincarnation. Plus this man was Aesop's Grandson(spiritual) who helped raised him and his 3 brothers. Abraham- Arnold Vosloo
His captivating, serious eyes, his stunning physique and awesome acting 👏 no one can't walk in his shoes.
Unless you're at Grauman's.
That smooth, rich baritone voice is a treat in any language.
It's the Russian colour. It was, after all, his first language.
@@hauptmannbalalaika I agree.
Well said! ✔🧡💚🖤👌
Basso cantante voice.
Beautiful voice.
Excellent bio I remember first hearing of this man at age 9 and never forgot him. Now I’m 73 and still am in awe of Him. Magnificent indeed
When I was 15, I had the great honor of watching Mr. Brynner perform in The King and I in San Francisco's Orpheum Theater in 1985. He was amazing. He was energetic and virile and brought down the house.
so jelous!
Magnificent gentleman. I met him in St Louis when they were reviving the King and I. I advised him to stop smoking. He said he would try.
Happy 100th Birthday Yul Brynner! You were one terrific actor! You gave joy! You were handsome and sexy!! You never gave a bad performance. Thank you for all the films you left behind.
Yul is the most Handsome actor ever his films were brilliant.
I was in the audience the last month of "The King and I". He was mind-boggling. When he came on stage ... BOOM! I was awestruck. Never lost that.
I"ve always loved Yul's accent. It's so elegant and formal.
AND he spoke about six languages -- Russian, Mandarin, French, English, and probably more....I think his accent is mostly Russian -- he was born in Vladivostok and is partly Swiss, Russian and Buryat. He moved to China during the Russian revolution and Stalin era, then to Paris and finally to the US. His grandmother was part Buryat, which is Siberian Mongolian. This gives Yul his slightly Asian appearance.
@@virginiasoskin9082 unique x
The only thing that can be said about him is,. "What a man!"
He had such a presence on the screen. Handsome, hypnotic and mysterious.
He was Mongolian that is where he got it from.
Wow ! What a personality! Mesmerazin!
This deserves at least two thousand likes
Absolutely 💯,
@@shunte652 I'll be #7 for you (and you can count each of us like in the film)
I got the opportunity to meet Yul on the set of the Ultimate Warrior. I was a brand new Marine visiting my Dad, Yul was kind enough to stop and talk for a few minutes. I thought that was very nice of him to do that.
Yes a bald actor that is so sexy i was in my grade school but i am so amaze if his being a bald actor love this man looks so mysterios specialkt his expressive eyes

My father introduced me to Yul Brynner when he took the family to see The Brothers Karamazov. He was a great fan of his, but only met him at the hospital where they were both dying of cancer. When I see him in pictures, it reminds me of my dad.
Yul BRYNER IS AN ICON. SO UNIQUE. WHAT A SUPERB ACTOR. THANKS FOR IMMORTALIZING A GREAT MAN THROUGH THIS VIDEO 👍✅
There is no actor alive today that can compare to him. Yul was a beautiful, sexy, fantastic actor. Those eyes, that accent, just beautiful.
AMEN TO THAT!!! 👊💯😍🙏🤴
Don't tell me; nostalgia isn't what it used to be.
Oh there is ... Dwayne the Rock!!
Those luscious kissable lips😊😊😊
I loved Yul. But he was not the best actor because he played only 1 role in every movie he made. Dustin Hoffman is a great actor. Johnny Depp is a great actor. They have great range in acting.
His unique ethnicity made for a unique specimen. His Eyes very commanding, hardly ever blinked chiseled features and pouty lips captivated audiences on and off stage. He was a Beautiful Presence and a Gift.
He defin. might have been Tatar since his skin was darker. He does look like one.
@@biancahotca3244 Hia heritage was a mix of French, Russian & Mongolian but he liked to leave an air of mystery re his ethnicity when asked 😁
Oh yes! His ethnic mixture is a mystery. That's the way he wanted it to be. He seemed to say....Here I am. Accept all of me the way I present myself to the world. A very compelling man. He was stunningly handsome and talented. ❤️
@@biancahotca3244 Tarter
@@deliawright8626 I have to agree with you. In some photos he looks very much like Nureyev. The Tatar women are beautiful and the men so handsome.
I fell in love with his sultry voce....and those piercing eyes....
