Thanks for watching, and your kind words... he was a good friend and one of the most loved people in Hollywood for decades... :)

***** Roddy McDowell was very popular and respected here in Ireland over all age groups. I was in my 20's when he died and I remember being at the work canteen that morning and people talking about him with real affection and appreciation. Unfortunately the Internet wasn't then what is it now and therefore he may not have been as aware of his popularity around the world. Myself, I have a rating scale for movies, with a plus one bonus for my favourite actors. Roddy McDowell was a deciding factor in whether I watched a certain film or not on any occasion.

Numinous20111 Oh thank you so much for your kind words and your interest! Have you seen his silent 16mm Kodachrome home movies that he left to us? (BTW, his name is spelled "McDowall", with an a and not an e... he was a Scotsman... and very PROUD of it. I am one quarter Irish, so I have a particular affection for your lovely nation as well...)

shlibber Another great character actor - Ian Bannen.

Thanks for tuning in! How about Michael Caine and Chris Plummer? :)

Caine, of course. Not too sure about Plummer, not really seen many of his movies, but I know who he is. ' High point' and ' Pink Panther ' 'Starcrash'.

Peter A. Montgomery I recommend "Inside Daisy Clover"- he was making it with Roddy and Natalie and Robert Redford in the Summer of '65- which is when Roddy shot all of the home movie footage that he bequeathed us... here's one of the best clips: Robert Redford Natalie Wood Ruth Gordon Christopher Plummer Inside Daisy Clover Santa Monica 1965

Cheers soapbxprod.

Peter A. Montgomery Thank YOU! :) And Cheers to YOU! Raise a pint over there for me...

Hello Andrew- he was such a fine human being. Have you seen any of the home movies that he gave to me? Just look around the channel page uploads- lots of FUN in Kodachrome 16mm...

Thanks I will

Annette Jenkins Hun- Cornelius! Not Caesar- although he did play Octavian/Augustus in "Cleopatra" with his lifelong friend Elizabeth Taylor- Thanks for watching and enjoying! :) Please look at your channel uploads- unique home movies shot by Roddy in the Summer of 1965... he was a dear friend... Luke Sacher Praeses & Soapbox Productions Inc.

***** You're so right he was cornelius!- Got caught up at the moment!- To me! Maybe he shouldve played Caesar!- Such Brilliant talent!- Wished he was still here to make cameo in the sequels today!

Annette Jenkins That's a very sweet thing to say- hope that you enjoy the home movies... they're all silent 16mm Kodachrome, all shot by Roddy with his Bolex R-16. Here's a sample assembly of the feature length documentary that we're currently trying to raise funds for- hope you enjoy it: "Hollywood 1965" Offline Assembly

Kim Clayton I think it's also a generational thing too- and the "studio system" had a lot to do with cultivating and maintaining a level of dramatic professionalism- at least at the high end of the industry... actors under contract worked 6 days a week- when they weren't shooting their scenes, they were in classes for everything from dialogue to horseback riding... what a life, huh? Like being paid to be in College... :)

lol. Yes I think the studio system had pluses that are not here today. Also they controlled the actors' life and could be a tyrant of one personal issues. But in the end I still think it produced better films and actors with all its' other flaws.

yes.......but its a shame they hung it upside down :]

Thanks for tuning in and commenting! And Happy New Year to you and yours- Luke Sacher Praeses & Soapbox Productions Inc.

Leann Cordle You can Google his name, right? Or are you really so ignorant as not to know who Roddy McDowall was?

THANK YOU! And a DEAR friend. Yes, he knew everything- but he never betrayed a secret and never revealed anything tawdry about anyone. He was a true gentleman. BTW, that is a genuine Jackson Pollock behind him. :)

who were his best friends? he must have been insane fun.

To name a few: Hope Lange, Robert Redford, Julie Andrews, Lauren Bacall, Lee Remick, Jennifer Jones, Tammy Grimes, Rock Hudson, Elizabeth Taylor, Charlton Heston, and of course my "auntie" Janet Leigh

The audio is spot on at -20/0dB. you need to listen through headphones or through amplified speakers. Thanks for viewing. Luke Sacher (shooter of this interview). PS, I believe that we made a verbatim transcript back then

Thank you!

Nothing wrong with the sound

Thanks for tuning in, Ron- we appreciate it! :)

Amen... Roddy was a dear friend and maybe the most loved luminary of his era. He bequeathed to us around 2 hours of his personally photographed 16mm Kodachrome/Bolex silent home movies, all shot during the Summer of 1965 when he was working on "Inside Daisy Clover"- you can find them on our home channel page. Warmest Regards, Luke Sacher

The BEST!

Will he talk about voicing snowball from pinky and the brain

Love from France!

How green was his valley.

He was. He had to be discreet, especially when under contract to a studio. That is the way it was then, unfortunately. Stars had to conform to a pre-fabricated "image" (and he touched on this during the interview).

Do you even work in the industry? I do, and for over thirty years, and would disagree with just about everything you said. You clearly have no idea of the pressure actors face when they are pretty much singularly responsible for the success (or failure) of a show. No one blames the director, the editor, the Crafts Services people, any of the grips or gaffers when a show fails. They typically blame the writers first, the actors second. And the BTL crew work long hours, but a lot of that is sitting around during set-ups or between takes.

Pollock... yes indeed! Janet's house was like a small gallery. I remember that there was a Chagall and a Matisse in the living room. :)

@@soapbxprod what wonderful memories!!!

Thank you for sharing:)

that's right
