- Salute to the great ladies of the Silver Screen including Cyd Charisse, June Allyson, Ruby Keeler, Lana Turner to name just a few. From the 1987 gala Happy Birthday Hollywood.
Instead of griping about who should be in or out .
Just realise that most of these gorgeous women are now gone and will be hard to replace .
These women lived at the times that this country was in strife or in war and that their movies allowed the public to escape from the reality and stress of the time .
As long as their films exist they will never be forgotten .
I remember when TV would show things like this and Night of 100 Stars, etc. Good times.
Only a handful are left (Arlene Dahl, eva Marie saint, and a few others) Jane Powell recently left us...
Who?
This is beyond cheesy... and I'm totally here for it. Sometimes I really miss the 80's.
I've always loved Jane Powell and Debbie Reynolds, and was so happy to know that there are friends in real life. Still love them!!
@Koop Dahvill Happy 90th, Miss Jane Powell.
The best of them all, the lovelier June Allyson, Jane Powell, always underrated, always great!!
Not by me they aren’t. Ginger Rogers, June Allyson and Jane Powell were the best of them all. They could act, sing and dance
Alvaro. Not at Turner Classic Movies, where these woman are adored. Join us!
@@TheSaltydog07 How do I join?
Some of those classic old stars are
still with us.
Cyd Charisse my favorite!
Es como estar en el cielo. Keeler, Rogers, Gish, Turner, Williams... Maravilloso!
These women are still just as beautiful today.
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
All such lovely women!!!
WOW.....Ally Sheedy introduces such stars....? WOW
This was lovely, I've never seen it before. So many talented women and a few who had been out of the spotlight for quite a while. I love the dresses and the gazebo set as well. People like to hate on the 1980s, but they were great. Ally Sheedy had short hair, it looks like the hair people fluffed it out into a mock Gibson to go with her Victorian style dress. It looks like an older woman style now, but it just looks formal in its era. Like wedding hair.
I just remembered watching this! I was 21. Wow.
Me too. I was 21 when it aired lol
There should have been Elizabeth Taylor, Doris Day, Audrey Hepburn, Olivia de Havilland, and many others who were alive that year, but it was a wonderful gathering of female stars.
I'm pretty sure many of these wonderful women were asked. I'm sure this depending on artiste availability at the time and for instance Doris Day made very rare public appearances so highly unlikely for her to even consider making an appearance. I'm sure we all have wishlists but we need to enjoy what we got.
Nope.
I always thought Jane Powell was very attractive. She retained her looks as she got older.
Seriously?
One of my timeless favorites.
It was a few songs . Lovely to look at. Just the way you look tonight.
BRAVO THANK YOU FROM BRASIL
It would nice to do another one representing and showing their pictures of those legends who have passed. Such as Liz Taylor, Kathryn Hepburn, Shelly Winters and Roslyn Russell to name a few. Loved their dresses !
Elizabeth Taylor was still alive in 1987
@@JM-lw3nx All the people they mentioned were still alive in 1987 except Rosalind Russell
Perhaps they're unavailable.
And following this LA suffered a statewide shortage of net curtains.
8/26/2024 five still living...
Maureen O'Hara, Shirley Temple, Katherine Greyson, Eleanor Powell, Ann Miller, Doris Day, Joan Pontaine, Eva Gardner, Lauren Bacall, Gina Lolobrigida, Rita Moreno ᆢ
Me: OMG look at all these lovely MGM stars from old Hollywood....
Nobody absolutely nobody: Welcome legendary star 12 year old Drew Barrymore
me hizo emocionar,hermoso
I guess actresses, like Ruby Dee and Lena Horne were unavailable for this tribute....just saying.
Ruby Dee was hardly from this era. Lena Horne would have been appropriate though how Drew Barrymore slipped in without adding Kathryn Grayson, Ethel Merman, etc. is beyond me.
William Bond, Ethel Merman died three years before this took place.
ruby dee was wonderful but not a hollywood heroine. lena horne, however, was definitely that.
@@vcuf But perhaps many of these women weren't available? Also Ethel Merman was never a silver screen heroine. Lena Horne was openly bitter about here horrendous treatment in Hollywood, so I doubt she would ever have given this a sniff.
@@templedrake6890 Seriously???? Was this comment needed? Highly inappropriate and offensive.
Thanks for this rare fun segment. Actress choices seemed a bit random (Drew?) - tho she is awesome. Too bad they didn’t stick more classic stars. Just me. But great post. Thanks.
Oh, so you just don't like today's actresses too? Such as Drew Barrymore, Ally Sheedy and
Marlee Matlin - now they're a part of this wonderful family album!
In particular I loved to see Lana and Ginger- though great to see them all. As stated, so many missing, however, this was quite likely due to them not being able to or agreeing to attend - i think this was recorded in NYC. I would have loved to have see Doris Day there - and others- though Doris was/is famous for turning her back on Hollywood and such events.
It works nicely.
Love , love, love , Lana Turner ( Peyton Place) !
And she just LOVED LOVED LOVED every man she could get her hands on and we all know what happened to Johnny Stompanato and Sean Connery in the South West of England when she was filming Another Time Another Place
Que atrizes lindas canção maravilha olha esse coreto
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
You don't have a tribute to Hollywood without adding a Barrymore, she came from one of the most legendary families. It's not her fault by the time she was 10 she was a drug addict, you can blame her stupid mother for that. By this time she was in one of the most beloved movies of all time and several others, she did the best she could. I'm sure the producers asked many ladies to take part in it but they were either working, sick, too old or just didn't want to.
Then where is Elizabeth Taylor? Katherine Hepburn? And why oh why is Angie Dickenson a legend??? They obviously took whoever they could get.
@@bobbuff5421don’t disrespect Angie Dickinson like that
Hey, watch that kind of talk, okay? We won't have
that kind of attitude or talk in this subject
ever again, is that clear?
June Allyson, Cyd Charisse, Arlene Dahl, Alice Faye, Lillian Gish, Shirley Jones, Dorothy Lamour, Jane Powell, Luise Rainer, Debbie Reynolds, Ginger Rogers, Eva Marie Saint and Lana Turner are all Love Boaters.
True
Love Jane Powell Seven brides for seven brothers my favorite film lo e songs but hTe brothers signing cutting up logs

hate. I'm sorry, Elizabeth, really.
私の大好きな女優さんが沢山。皆白で統一した衣装も素晴らしい。あぁ、幸せです。
It’s the passage of time but the only legends left with us are Jane Powell (91) and Eva Marie Saint (96).
I don’t count Drew in this! Nice to see her representing Ethel.
A shame that Doris Day, Lena Horn, Hepburn (both of them) Garbo, Dietrich, Colbert, De Havilland etc. (There are loads!) weren’t there.
I'm pretty sure many of these wonderful women were asked. I would perhaps consider that this would have purely come down to availability and willingness to be involved.
When was this recorded ? Because I am realizing that many of these stars are no longer with us. And many stars like Liz Taylor whom I’m thinking was alive, maybe just couldn’t come.
Lana Turner along with Rita Hayworth and Ava Gardner was one of the 3 most perfect women in their prime there ever was.
Lana Turner was beautiful back in the 50's but she went through men like a 'dose of salts'. I only found out recently about her and Johnny Stompanato when she came to South West of England to shoot Another Time Another Place with Sean Connery.
Stompanato thought she was having an affair with Sean and had come to England to 'sort him out'
@@joanne26 ….There was an interview with her in 94, her last one ever, and she talked about her sexual escapades. She even told who was the best, etc.. I forgot all the names. I know about Stomponato though cuz her daughter killed him and his boss, Mickey Cohen was pissed about stuff she said about him so he released all her love letters to him 😂
@@dennissettlemyre917 I’m going to try and get through the videos posted by the Oscars channel
It will take me some time but at least it will keep me entertained sitting in my garden in England with a glass of Fizz
For me as a child of the 60’s I still love the decade today for many reasons but back then and to some extent the 70’s everyone, men and women were so naturally beautiful and glamorous
Looking back even further at Hollywood back in the 30’s and 40’s there has always been what I call ‘the casting couch’
Nothing has changed except we have tech now 24hr news and social media
Was the entertainment business then worse than today?
Perhaps?
@@joanne26 ….I’ve always wanted to go to England. My family came here to America from there when my grandpa was a baby
Sadly, Rita Hayworth has died of Alzheimer's disease at her home in New York City in 1987
a year later.
There are so many more heroines of the silver screen…. Aren’t there? This was delightful but had left me confused.How did one qualify?
But there are many factors to consider... importantly... many people could have been asked but they possibly declined or unavailable. There are endless heroines... but you can't deny the popularity of who was chosen (other than the more contemporary actresses which seemed out of place).
@@nathanjamesdance Right.
I'm sorry to say most young people today who enjoy movies are clueless who any of these legendary people are.
a rather sweeping generalisation. But as the video was almost 40 years ago, it all depends on whether they have relevance to a younger generation does it not? You can't blame them if they have no interest in films from 70/80 years ago
@@nathanjamesdance sadly, my attitude is "why can't they like what i like", and i know that's kind of wrong!
@@fakerating They're have no interest in
cinema from decades ago. Sorry.
We've gone from talent to Ally whatever became of her, and that says it all.
The should have added
Lucille Ball
Lena Horne
Ann Miller
Carol Channing
Jayne Russell
Diahnn Carol
Don't stop there. Also:
Doris Day
Ava Gardner
Myrna Loy
Olivia DeHavilland
Joan Fontaine
Lauren Bacall
Audrey Hepburn
Barbara Stanwyck
Bette Davis
If this video is from a 1987 show, ALL of these actresses were still alive.
They should have more than drew Barry more she is young just starting out she to young why was she in anyway
More good older actresses she's not in catecore so how come answer me
More than her good actresses Teresa Wright Doris Day Claudia colbert Maureen o hara etc etc
Why her can't understand why you pick her mere child
Movies making themselves more relevant than they are. Hey Hollywood you are entertainment. Right size yourself.
Yeah...just like always they overlook leave out underwater and ignore Black women. Beautiful Lena Horne and Ruby Dee and other Black actresses had just as many credentials to grace that stage too. Hollywood Racism Still holding true today...racism in Hollywood going strong but its time is UP! We will see an end to this exclusionary crap!
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
I agree with you but you cannot erase HISTORY. We all need to LEARN FROM HISTORY and MOVE ON and create better times for EVERYONE. Its like in Britain pulling down the Statues. That's HISTORY AGAIN. You cannot cancel it!!!!!
And one of the actresses on the stage Lillian Gish was famous for the openly racist movie Birth of a Nation. This is a white suprematist sorority.
@@BLTKellys
Miss Gish did not write or direct the film. It deals with the Civil War and so do many other films.
@@tessdurberville711 it’s a racist propaganda movie. And she has defended it.
Did l miss K
Ally sheedy looks a lot like Tootsie
falto otra grande Doris Day
Very nice, But Drew Barrymore should not have been in this,these ladies are legends !
I agree but I think the intention was for her to represent Ethel Barrymore...
yup she's reprenting barrymore here.
She's representing the Barrymore saga.
Raymon Castosa Gacio but that is silly really
I agree. I like her very much , but she is not a legend. What happen to Sophia Loren ?
This must have been after Ruby Keeler's stroke. The poor dear looked so bewildered and frightened. NOT the way I want to remember her.
That might be true but to me at least she looked like she was extremely touched. Stroke patients by the way don't behaved like they're bewildered and frightened. Also, it would be unlikely they would have her took part had she been like that.
It was years after her stroke, but Ruby was in tears - she was honored to be there and was very emotional. She was a very humble lady and was indeed touched to be included in this production number. She always knew what was going on, so she was certainly not bewildered.
I take tributes like these with a grain of salt, because so many women of color, who were equally, if not more, talented were never given the chance to shine on the silver or small screen. I'm not talking about the few who were "allowed", but the countless unsung others who were systematically kept out, and not just African Americans, but the beautiful talented Latinas, Asians and anyone else of color. I only imagine how much history was lost due to white racism. My friend's late mom was a teenager during that time, and she said it wasn't so much the white men who were not accepting, but it was white women who didn't like it when white men showed attraction to those beautiful women of color. She said white women made such a stink, they had to hurry up and pull those ladies off of the screen! I believe it because it blew apart the myth that only they were pretty. Major changes are underway for the future of the academy, and hopefully will continue to get better. Peace.
Where the hell was bette Davis
Calm down, would you?
They have Drew but not Ann Miller! Tsk tsk
Each of these actresses remains a true legend. Ironically, the newer generation "stars" who did the intro's to segments like these are basically forgotten. "Ally who?" And putting Drew in together with that lineup was an insult to the rest. With the benefit of hindsight, her work has still not earned her a place with those others.
This from 1987 Happy Birthday Hollywood Gala - I cannot believe it. All those TRUE HOLLYWOOD LEGENDS. Just wonderful to see them only 33 years ago as they all looked as they were growing old gracefully and nearly all gone to the great HOLLYWOOD IN THE SKY.
I look at the 80's from a style point of view and it was BIG HAIR, BIG SHOULDER PADS AND PLENTY OF NET CURTAIN.
Adding Drew isn't an insult to anyone. She's from a prestigious Hollywood family.
And lots of people know who Ally Sheedy is
Marlee Matlin is a babe.
WHAT ABOUT STAR ROSELLI ✨✨✨⭐️ performer on youtube❗️
How are you doing today my name is Eric Moore
freak!
@@umbertobye9003 Hey, take it easy.
They should have included Lucille ball Jane Wyman Alexis Smith Drew Barrymore should not have been there these ladies are before her time and they should have had Donna Reed too!
DREW WAS REPRESENTING THE BARRYMORE CLAN !! Ethel in particular!! She’s had every right to be there !!
Fuck you.
Oh, so you don't like one of today's ladies such as
Drew Barrymore? Is that so, Debra? Now left me
something - only Lucille Ball and Jane Wyman
who made the final cut on this special - no problem- - you gonna love both of them - but
Donna Reed has died last year in 1986 and
Alexis Smith who doesn't make no more
appearances before she died in 1994 - the other two? No way. Lucille Ball, Jane Wyman? You can
take both of them with you all the way.
And Drew Barrymore? I'll take her with me.
Problem Solved. Because the trio were
a part of this lovely family album. And Debra,
let's enjoy this wonderful celebration without
spoiling everything around here!
Please, the title of this song....
the way you look tonight - i thinks
No Ann Miller or Elizabeth Taylor. 😔
Not anymore, Andrew. They're replacing older stars for fresher ones like Drew Barrymore,
Academy Award winners Marlee Matlin, Jamie Lee Curtis and Angela Bassett of Disney
and Emmy Award nominee Lea Thompson of Disney based Great Oaks Entertainment.
Golden Days of Hollywood Past ...today a bore
Well, you just go out and prove it.
Weren't both Arlene Dahl and Esther Williams married to Fernando Lamas? Awkward!
There was no bad blood between them though as far as I remember from reading Williams' biography.
God knows he put them both through enough hell...kindred spirits.

What was Drew Barrymore doing there?....She's not an icon...geeze!
representing barrymore clan,like ethel barrymore john barrymore.
Connections !
No, it's because she is part of an acting dynasty (talent aside)
Absolutely correct. I wondered also. In a group w Lillian Gish and Ginger Rogers? Ridiculous

No claudette colbert and Doris Day and Loretta Young.

Between July 24, 1985 and today,
Ally Sheedy says everyone gone from
talent to whatever became of them,
and that says it all. There's an old

Where are the African American actresses ???? Hello?????
You mean all those great black actresses from 1930's like....uh....no one.
Not everything in life is about the black movement...wake up!!

The plastic surgeons must have been busy before this special aired.
so cynical! i'd like to see what you look like at your age...im sure, not spectacular!
Does Ally Sheedy actually think her hairdo makes her look good? That's the kind of hairdo a woman 30 years older would have.
beautiful set costumes photography. but the entire concept is a bit demeaning

Drew? Really???
No inclusivity or diversity wow
Lana Turner and Eva Marie Saint wee hot back in their day, hell, I'd do either one of hem that night. Who wouldn't want to lay Turner when she was in THE POSTMAN ALWAYS RINGS TWICE.
austin teutsch u aren’t capable of laying a dog
Drew Barrymore? What in the world was she doing in this group?
Drew Barrymore? Really? How stupid!!!
Stop calling names and start showing people with love and respect like Drew Barrymore.
Greta\\Garbo\was\pretty
So let's throw up some random actress on stage and sing a song at them while people clap... for just being there? The 80's were wild.
Hardly random - nearly all had significant careers in the Golden Age of Cinema... why should they not enjoy some adulation, for some it would be their last public appearances. There's far wilder happenings in this TV revue.

If Drew Barrymore was there, why was not Karen Allen or Kate Capshaw, actresses of today hundred times lovelier than her..
Because they weren't born into an acting dynasty.
You clearly know nothing about old Hollywood!

You need to watch her in “Journey to the Centre of the Earth” ; you’ll be totally won over.I think she was underrated as an actress.
