To have a guest like this is why Johnny is the king of late night. Everybody else just wants to sell a book or CD or movie. Johnny just wants to talk to people.

she was born in 1898, and died in 1994 96 years later. Her silent film career was from 1917-1925. She returned to talkies in 1980-81 plus whatever commercials she may have done.

@@lindad.7642 Just saw her in Season 7 E 19 of The Mary Tyler Moore Show. ( In 2023, this was available streaming on Hulu regular plan. ) She played Helen with a few lines of dialogue twice in a party scene being introduced and has comic timing for a joke delivery. They put her in a costume to emphasize being out of date and different cat eye framed glasses.

Came here from a 1977 appearance of season 7 E 19 of The Mary Tyler Moore Show. That show often had bit parts for actors of merit in their older years. Her part had a few lines and delivered 2 jokes.

Bartine is absolutely adorable. Such a beautiful lady. Just saw her on Adam 12. What a charming lady from the early days of Hollywood. I hope to see her in any of the movies she did. Especially with Buster Keaton. She is classy and sassy. Love her.

You can watch "The High Sign" on KZfaq along with another silent short "Curses!" (1925).

She was wonderful in Keaton's films. Very interesting here but what stories she could have told before her memory started to fail! Shame that no one got them all down when they could.

@hollywoodtimemachine 2 жыл бұрын

By the time that I met her in 1984, her memory was failing. Although she always said that it was just a matter of "work" to her. Thankfully, her husband rescued many of her production photos from the trash pile. I was then able to identify the film titles from there.

Wow this video was suggested to me because I’m recently getting into the silent era of movies and I was shocked to hear she grew up in my hometown, Shreveport LA. She was born 90 years before me but I have relatives who may have known her. They’ve unfortunately all passed away.

It is fascinating that EVERYONE who talks about Buster from that era was clearly head-over-heels for him.

@trevorhansen1940 10 ай бұрын

Buster seemed to be an anomaly just like Mel Blanc. There isn't much controversy in their lives, at least later lives. Buster had an upbringing that would make a tyrant, thankfully he knew it didn't define him.

Keaton, Chaplin, W.C. Fields, the great early directors, like William Wellman, etc., the writers of precode films, later on, people like Oscar Levant, Jonathan Winters, these people are my Mount Rushmore.

What’s a “long distance” phone call?

@hollywoodtimemachine 10 ай бұрын

There was a time that any call outside of your area code was considered a "long distance" call and cost more than the usual rate. Most people would only call family members that lived out of town on Sundays to save money.

@brucekuehn4031 10 ай бұрын

Long distance relationships could be expensive! Her ad was for Saturdays, but you could have a surprisingly high bill if you called during the week before 11pm.
