gene hackman actually praised shelley went he was on the carson show promoting the Poseidon adventure. he said she usually gets flack but she knows what she is doing and wants to do the best for the role
I was young when we saw her hold her breath in the movie so we all had to try it and compete to see which of us could hold our breath the longest. We learned about hyperventilating first and we got quite good at holding our breath. Too bad we couldn't go pearl diving, LOL.
Oh God....what a missed opportunity not having Norm Macdonald sitting next to Shelly Winters while she's promoting being in Jury Duty with Paulie Shore
I love that my first thought on seeing this was "Oh No! Shelly Winters must've died!!!" Googled it--she died 15 years ago!!! (You've got me trained too well Team Coco youtube account!)
I know I've seen her in loads of other things, but she'll always be Nana Mary. StL Walk of Fame in the House! Her star is just down from her TV caveman/son in law's.
Some say guys like Peter Ustinov and Orson Welles were God's gifts to talk show hosts, I think Shelley Winters belongs in that league too, always funny, witty and entertaining !!! 😁
The best scene with her in the Poseiden Adventure was when Gene Hackman was trapped underwater, and she took a deep breath and dove in the water and Ernest Borgnine screams out, "HEY, WHAT THE HELL IS SHE DOING"!!! 🤣🤣🤣
I never was really sure if it was true, but I remember reading that women scuba divers use less air than men. On the average, if you can a male diver and a woman diver, the same sized tank, and they do the exact same dive, the man's tank will have less air at the end of the dive than the woman's.
I'll never forget her appearances on the afternoon talk shows of the 60s, with Mike Douglas and merv griffin, and how close she always came to blabbing about who was gay in Hollywood. At that time, it was unthinkable to imagine rock Hudson , Monty Clift and Marlon Brando as anything but the manly macho characters they were on the silver screen....this was long before AIDS became an issue and forcefully outed the swingers...it would be the end of the show, her being the last guest...the last commercial break and then a quick signoff vy the host ...and you could hear Shelley over the swelling exit music, about how she could tell you things about Hollywood you wouldn't believe...at that point, the shows signoff became frantic, rushing the credit scroll and the host jumping out his seat and pulling his mic off, ....she used to be my fav talk guest, I couldn't wait for her to spill the beans. AIDS did that for her.
It wasn't that she was a blabbermouth; her talk show appearances, while extolling her academy award winning status- a patch of blue was a big deal back then- the talk show appearances always ended up slanting towards her Hollywood body count,..while it was being made known that she was intimate with various celebs, it was kept quiet which Hollywood celebs weren't chasing the women...and she was gonna even the tattling score...as I said, they made sure she was the last guest interviewed and the first with a dead mic when the show was signing off
Because actors like to play roles who are very different from who they actually are. That's why Louise Fletcher always played villains, or at least, characters you're not supposed to like (e.g. Nurse Ratched).
Back then people just heard something and if it came from someone they believed to be credible they just believed it was true. I find myself thinking all the time “Wow we were all so credulous before the modern internet”
Jesus died for you was buried and rose again on the third day according to the scriptures. If you confess with your mouth Jesus is lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved. Please repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior
This was such a treat! Shelley Winters is an absolute legend. 🥰
That was over a minute! Now I want to watch The Posiden Adventure again...Great movie!
She had guts….a lot of guts
But see the thing is when she held breath underwater, she was literally moving and swimming. TOTALLY differently from just sitting. She's a legend!!!
Its not like she didn't just say that exact thing 🤦🏻♂️
She was such a treasure!!❤
I love how Andy gave her a gentle shoulder rub after she was done . What a sweet man
She was fantastic. Mrs Rosen was a brilliant character.
"the happiest home ion these hills" never fails to put a smile on my face. Thanks Shelley!
The Poisiden Adventure is an awesome movie. Still holds up after all these years.
Rest In Peace Shelley Winters. I loved watching your movies as a child. ❤
I love these older shows. I was probably in my teens when Shelly was swimming around and I am sure she is still holding her breath upstairs
Love ..love Shelly winters....
gene hackman actually praised shelley went he was on the carson show promoting the Poseidon adventure. he said she usually gets flack but she knows what she is doing and wants to do the best for the role
He also had a great crack along the lines of 'she's the only actor who can argue with you underwater'
She was such a Beautiful Woman.
She really was.
What an incredible person.
I enjoyed her performance in Winchester '73.
Shelley was indeed an angel.
Not in Pete’s Dragon though! She was the secondary villain in the movie.
Shelley was a beauty. Back in the day. I've been watching. Some of her old movies. From the late '40s. During her sexpot era😂
I was young when we saw her hold her breath in the movie so we all had to try it and compete to see which of us could hold our breath the longest. We learned about hyperventilating first and we got quite good at holding our breath. Too bad we couldn't go pearl diving, LOL.
This is a great treat.
Her death scene broke me as a kid. I thought she was so annoying and then she saved who she could. 😢
Now THIS is television!
Love you ♥️ ✡️ Shelley 🌹
I miss Shelley Winters. She was also one of my favs
Can you imagine spending an afternoon with this wonderfully witty lady?
It's great that Shelley Winters was still active in the 1990s. Why she agreed to play Pauly Shore's mother in "Jury Duty", however, I'll never know.
She loved to work didn't care all that much about the project.
Oh God....what a missed opportunity not having Norm Macdonald sitting next to Shelly Winters while she's promoting being in Jury Duty with Paulie Shore
Hello from Copenhagen, Denmark! ❤️🇩🇰❤️🇩🇰❤️🇩🇰
I tried it alongside and barely managed the minute! I do have asthma mind. :')
Me too! Can we use that as an excuse? Good to know
I love that my first thought on seeing this was "Oh No! Shelly Winters must've died!!!" Googled it--she died 15 years ago!!! (You've got me trained too well Team Coco youtube account!)
Does that mean that she had hold her breath for 15 years now? Wow!
I love her
Shelley Winters was great in The Poseidon Adventure. I was sorry her character died. Rest in peace, Shelley. ❤❤ 🙏 🙏 🌹 🌹
I tried to hold my breath with her and lost when she asked for a pencil.
Loved her in a “Place in the Sun.”
Me too. I felt bad for her character
I wish I could've been alive enough to meet her!
Was the Posiden Adventure the script that was read at his apartment?
Wim Hoff: "Hold my beer."
I know I've seen her in loads of other things, but she'll always be Nana Mary.
StL Walk of Fame in the House! Her star is just down from her TV caveman/son in law's.
A lady like Shelly Winters never loses her attractiveness.
Some say guys like Peter Ustinov and Orson Welles were God's gifts to talk show hosts, I think Shelley Winters belongs in that league too, always funny, witty and entertaining !!! 😁
Nice
nice to see Alloy on Conan
She was great in that movie but she was Stunningly Beautiful in Winchester 73 with Jimmy Stuart....
I want her to be my aunt.
uh, no you don't.
@plasticweapon are you her niece/nephew? lol. why not? i think she’d always be calling and be in your business!
@@plasticweapon Why not?
Her role as Nana Mary on Roseanne was the best.
Yes! She was so iconic!

Conan was a little kid at that time
48 seconds for me.
43 :(
3 minutes in my teen years now too scared of a lung collapse
She frightened me in Pete’s Dragon as a kid! Why does such a nice lady have to play an awful villain in a movie?
Because actors like to play roles who are very different from who they actually are. That's why Louise Fletcher always played villains, or at least, characters you're not supposed to like (e.g. Nurse Ratched).
Have you seen her in A Patch of Blue? She was a real witch!
@@julzNgil can’t say I have.
@@julzNgil whereabouts in the world do you live?
😳
holding breathe emoji!!!
throwbacck
02:13 I love her, LOVE HER, but what the fuck is this 02:13 isn't that exhaling/inhaling?
I don’t think she liked when Conan had to shut her off. She was amazing! So funny too!
non smoker here. Just did 1 minute with her and it's not even that hard. no practice for it either lol. the trick is to not think about it
she was great… sorry conan had to usher her off so quickly
"Women have lung volumes that are 10 to 12 percent less than men, because their rib cages are usually smaller."
-The Smithsonian
Your move.
plus a man has one less rib , right ?
@TheMowens After seeing my x-rays, Dr. told me that I have an extra rib. ?
Back then people just heard something and if it came from someone they believed to be credible they just believed it was true. I find myself thinking all the time “Wow we were all so credulous before the modern internet”
Which is why they use less air than a man. Most female scuba divers use less air than men.
@@Kohntarkosz Less air means less strength overall.
Do Tom Cruises 6 minutes, then get back to me.
Well she was breathing through the nose so could probably do years not minutes.
get back to me when Tom Cruise quits
scientology.
@@fritzbrown All religious beliefs are shitty, but it doesn’t subtract from impressive achievements
@@fritzbrown what's that have to do with anything?
When did Tom Cruise ever hold his breath for 6 minutes?
Semi-pro is a joke
First
Jesus died for you was buried and rose again on the third day according to the scriptures. If you confess with your mouth Jesus is lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead you will be saved. Please repent of your sins and accept Jesus Christ as your lord and savior
Never heard of him.
Are you on some kind of drugs?
Jesus wasn't "buried," he was "entombed." Then the rock slab that covered the tomb's entrance was moved aside…
Jesus is dead ??? i didn't even know he was sick.
So he's like a zombie now? wtf that's creepy.
