Miss Garson was 82 in this interview. Still lovely as ever. She will forever be "Mrs. Miniver"!

R.I.P. Greer Garson who died 25 years ago on April 6, 1996. I was privileged to meet Greer Garson at the Greer Garson Theatre at The College of Santa Fe on September 5, 1979. She’s my favorite actress of all time! A great and gracious and glorious lady!

Greer Garson was one of the great actors in The Golden Age of Hollywood. You can't compare this lady with the 'loose' and goofy stars we have today.

Look how wonderful she looks here at 80 years old!

What a great actress she was nominated 5 times in 6 years from 1939 to 1945 top billing in that era

She's so charismatic and funny - love her

Our neighbor, Jack Evinger was her personal chauffer for most of her years as an actress, I met her, and spoke with her a couple times when I was walking home from school, sometimes he would stop at his house, and she would visit with his mother. It was back in the 70's. at the time I really didn't know how lucky I was to have met and spoke with her. I remember though that she did go into character a couple times, like she did in this interview, funny seeing that.

she was a beauty in her day, still looking good for her age there

What a classy lady Greer was. I discovered her back in 1989 and have since thoroughly enjoyed anything and everything I have come across that she is in. I'm so glad that I found this. Thanks for uploading this.

A fantastic actress!Sorely missed.God rest her.❤️

I absolutely loved that she narrated the little drummer boy her voice is just amazing

Gorgeous looking lady with beautiful diction. Greer Garson was also an academic who studied at Grenoble, France. Here she is at 81and so beautiful.

My fave actress is Bette Davis but this lady was so absolutely beautiful and someone I wanted to be, I always thought if I had a girl I would name her Greer. This lady was so classy and all her roles were in my opinion everything a lady should be. I loved this lady. A natural beauty.

What a lovely lady she was! Love her in Mrs. Miniver, Madame Curie, Blossoms in the dusty, Radom Harvest, That Forsyte Woman, Julia Misbehaves, The Valley of Decision etc. I love classic movies and Greer is my favorite actress!

I never had the privilege of meeting Miss Garson. But I did help my friend Michael Troy do research for his book on Miss Garson. He and I traveled to Dallas and Santa Fe. In Dallas, we had the opportunity to interview Van Cliburn and afterwards he played the piano for us. Wonderful.

Thanks for sharing. I just love that lady. She really is special and there never was anyone in Hollywood quite like Greer.

For me, Random Harvest. Watch it over and over wishing I could be Paula. What a lady, Greer Garson, and the dashing Ronald Colman. How I fell for him! TYVM, indeed, for this upload.

The lady nailed the issue and sadly things have gotten worse. When will media wake up. Not many go to today’s films.

Thanks for the upload! Love Greer Garson, intelligent, talented, witty, classy...when she says something like " what is so unfashionable of being nice or having manners?"...she would be horrified and very sad today in 2020 seeing how humanity has degraded even further!... the 80's were just the beginning of the end, putting the value into having as much money as you can and consuming no stop because "you can", that IS still mostly the goal today, even with the pandemic, loads of people rushing on a plane for that holiday destination that you "need to see before you die" o simply to queue at the shopping mall ...at least 753 people are viewing this interview....there is some hope :)

Very intelligent woman and pleasure to listen to speak beautiful English.

What a delightful treat to be reminded of the talented, oh so beautiful, humorous Greer Garson. Sharp as a razor. Pity the editing has some to be desired. Yet it does not distract from Miss. Garson's important message of Manners & Morals which I agree with completely.

What an intelligent and erudite woman, not to mention extremely classy and still quite beautiful at this advanced stage. Her generous efforts (along with her devoted husband) in the field of historical preservation in the State of New Mexico are absolutely commendable. ❤❤❤

These clips of Ms Garson are just a marvellous find. She is so quick witted, erudite, thoughtful, self-aware, humble and entertaining. I never met her, but in 1973 I wrote to her requesting her autograph and she sent me a delightful letter together with a signed picture postcard of her ranch in Santa Fe. A wonderful woman and actress.

Love Greer Garson

Love that she mentions her champion racehorse, Ack Ack. I own a Great Granddaughter of Ack Ack, whose name is Good Acktress. I always thought it was a perfect name.

“I’d have liked to have done it, but I’m needed at home at the present.” Her husband had Parkinson’s and she cared for him to the end. No asking for sympathy here, just a quiet prioritization.

I absolutely love this! Thank you so much for posting this rate interview! Her attitude and gracious way of talking to the press is so rare! Having an actress give an interview with no cursing at all is a rarity! Such a truly remarkable, gracious, funny, lovely, simply true gem of Hollywood! I can't even imagine what she would think now with the movies having bad language, sexual scenes, awful disgusting story lines are totally disgusting! They sure broke the mold when they made her. God bless Greer Garson Fogelson, we love you and miss you so very much!

people in those days had so much class and were so humble. Am obsessed with Pride & Predjudice at the moment. Much needed joy in these horrible times.

I enjoyed this tremendously!! Thank you so much for posting this. Greer is my favorite actress.

Just one word for this women = REGAL .

Charming LADY!

If any non-native British English-speaker wishes to learn how our wonderful language SHOULD be spoken, just listen to Greer Garson. Perfectly enunciated, pauses in right place, calm, correct; far superior to ANY Queen of England!

She underestimates herself. She was in many fine Movies 🎬 . Beautiful Lady

She is brilliantly intelligent !

Greer Garson....one of my favourite actresses.....❤❤❤

Incredibly fresh, quick and appearing considerably younger both cognitively as well as physically than her age of 80 years! Correction: 82 years of age.

Bobbie is Magnificent.

9:15 The role of the Nanny (in 1965's The Nanny) was originally intended for Greer who at first accepted then quickly declined. Jimmy Sangster who wrote and produced the film later said, "I went to Santa Fe and met with Greer, and she said she liked the script, and everything was fine. When I got back to London, we had a message from Los Angeles saying that Greer Garson didn't think the script would do her career much good. I didn't like to say she didn't have a career in those days." (From IMDB The Nanny trivia -which I believe comes from the biography on Greer entitled A Rose for Mrs. Miniver The Life of Greer Garson)

I believe Greer’s account of what happened with NormaShearer and the role of Mrs Miniver too.

AMAZING 🙏🏻💝🕯️🇺🇸

Thank you so much for sharing!! Greer Garson is one of my favorite actresses! This was so interesting to watch, especially because I've seen so few of her interviews available. Do you have the entire interview?

Just as smart as can be, Greer was an absolute marvel due to her theatrical training and cultured studies abroad. Definitely a brilliant exception in a world of wannabees

Ahhh.. These stars promoted morals.. Not, what we have today..

WHAT would she think NOW?! My God, we seem to be doomed!

A lady of integrity.

Beautiful lady 🌹

Still classy and sexy at 81! Her smile is beautiful!! R.I.P. Greer!

I wonder what Greer Garson would think of the manners and morals of today...

1:12 Norma Shearer had sadly passed away a few years before this interview so I guess Greer wasn't aware Norma had passed? But Norma was a divine actress and despite the reputation they have I very much enjoy her last two films. Apparently Norma was approached for Mrs. Miniver while she was amidst production of We Were Dancing. Norma's last film Her Cardboard Lover was released the same month as Mrs. Miniver which was June 1942. Norma apparently turned Miniver down because she didn't want to play a mother. Whatever the reason I think Shearer would've been just as wonderful as Greer Garson was in the role (any doubters should watch Norma in 1940's Escape). This is one of those rare films that I can actually picture someone else in the title role other than the person who ended up doing it.

Greer was the real preferred Mrs. Minniver

I think the series she turned down was the Colbys. The Colbys premiered in 1985.

Greer Garçon was born n Northern Ireland in Downpatrick. Not Cavan in the South of Ireland. She is a relative of my grandmother’s.

She married three times. So much for family values.

do you have the video without the cuts ??

Joan was jealous because Greer got nominated and won an Oscar for Ms minniver and got parts that Joan wanted

She's a bit of a marvel. I've heard and seen many videos with great actors/actresses. Not a one of them - not Hepburn, certainly not Davis - grand as they may be - never Crawford, et al - compare to her art or articulation and thoughtfulness, and lack of ego. She is the real McCoy.

We went from Greer to Rachel Zegler

🎯🇸🇪

These old stars were so insulated, even from their own transgressions, they really believed their world was a less evil one. The studios shielded them from their own illicit, unfavorable, and sometimes criminal behaviors. During their day people were incrediblely racist, sexist, half of their peers were alcoholics, they were cheating and divorcing as much as anyone now, and many of the starlets of that time had secret abortions, etc. These stars and their peers were not saints by any means. They lived during times of real socio-economic abundance (1950s) so of course everything afterwards would never be as good. While I agree that manners, social etiquette, work ethics etc are all important and were possibly better then, I do think these old stars were a bit deluded in their views of the world being better back in their haydays. Christ they made endless movies about gangsters alone, so obviously crime was a thing. Still, I love and admire their work and glamor.

She was a good actress Joan Crawford didn't like Mayer for giving the role of Madame curie to Crawford and left the studio and Greer hated Crawford didn't mention her in this interview

Sorry I mean Crawford hated Greer for taking the role of Madame curie

Love Greer Garson. However the interviewer’s voice is annoying. Ms.Garson was one of the best actresses.

She would have been horrified at today’s England, that is for certain. Buddy and Greer adored their ranch, neither were ever far from it. What a blessing she made the USA her home for so many years.

I stopped this at 8:30 to say I agree that we have so much filth in america today in 2023 and frankly since 1964. But on the other hand every movie made in hollywood at any time the 1930's, the 40's or the 50's or the 60's or anytime. In every movie in every scene the actors are drinking alcohol. and smoking. both were a bad influence on people.

She makes snobbishness appealing.
