Guest: Billy Hayes Part 1
Billy Hayes was a college English major searching for adventure to write about, like his hero Jack London, when in 1970 he had a rude awakening--he was arrested at the Istanbul airport trying to board a plane while carrying four pounds of hashish. After receiving a life sentence, relentless efforts by his family to gain his release, enduring five brutal years and making numerous escape plans, Billy took matters into his own hands and pulled off a daring escape to freedom. Soon after, he wrote his first book, Midnight Express, a worldwide best seller that became an Academy Award-winning film.
Midnight Express Epilogue: Train Keeps Rolling shares Billy Hayes's continued journey of self-discovery as an actor and director, a husband, and a son of aging parents. He fulfills a longtime dream of rapprochement with the Turkish people when he accepts an invitation to speak in Istanbul, also revisiting his former prison and the now abandoned madhouse he had tried to escape from in 1972.

I worked with Billy Hayes on Boston Legal. He is not only an incredible person with an incredible story, he's genuinely a helluva nice guy. Hello Billy, good to see you again! (Lu Johnson)
I enjoyed this interview and have followed this issue since I saw Midnight Express in 1978 as a teenager. I am in my 60's now. My takeaway from this is that if you go to another country, play it safe and don't even have over the counter Tylenol in your luggage. But I understand the young people looking at me as an old paranoid fool. Well, if they end up in foreign jail, they cannot say that I didn't warn them. Good luck in their smuggling and prison careers.
Stefan.... This is a story of stories Billy Hayes Escape from Turkey swam to Greece ...WOW .... Nothing like it ......
I have tremendous respect for Billy Hayes.
This was simply an amazing interview!! Probably our favorite that you’ve ever done . We’ve seen this movie quite a few times , and to actually hear the accounts from Billy him self was amazing. I would love to order his books . Do you know if he sells signed copies ? Just Fabulous Stefan 💕💕
Definitely part two ❤️
I'm soooo early, but I can't wait!!! Lol. What a story!!! Loved the movie Midnight Express and to actually see you interview the real Billy is phenomenal!!! Stefan your the G of You Tube❤❤❤🙏👍
Love ya
@@artistsonrecord ❤❤🙏
Very interesting. Thanks for bringing this to us.
Wow, this will be fascinating!
To me , it seems this guy is a classic example of being stuck in time..i feel for this guy it's only yesterday when he was banged up and then got out again...he never grew up past then..I could be wrong, but listening to him, I don't think so.
"This guy", It's Billy Hayes...have some respect. And he's not "stuck in time" it's a fascinating story...even to this day
It makes sence now I always wondered if he escaped why was he not recaptured but as billy says he didn't murder anybody 👍🏻
Happy birthday Tuesday, Billy youre my bestest aries. After I saw your story, I wanted to see the jail u were in. My bucket list is to see turkey. I am 67 .
You get better every year.
This man learned nothing. He is talking about great hashish. Didn't he suffer enough because of this drug.
Ugh...It's hashish...not Heroin. It's freakin legal now (weed)...that's kinda the point
I thought the film was crap considering it was the absolute incredible Alan Parker.
The lower people are in jail and the boss is free. Sad.
still not the whole truth. Ask Billy about George ... whom he forgot to mention in his book but who saved him and probably died because of that ... and about heroin that was in his plaster leg according to Turkish newspaper of 1970.
It was hash in his leg cast..I knew him when he got a way with it previously
@@tlennox2991 may be, Tom. He could have changed it to make a better profit. Who knows? I knew him cause I stayed next bed in Bayrampasa prison in 1975. And I know that journalist who saw that Turkish newspaper. Perhaps I can get a copy one day, I'll try. Cheers.
Prime example of someone who couldn't do the time. If you are dumb enough to smuggle drugs then you deserve whatever happens to you.
Great response...I bet you're a hoot to hang out with...and of course, you're totally missing the point
You don't deserve 30 years... The judge initially gave him 4 years... But the American wankaz wanted more time
