Something really depressing about how a person can be so well-known during most of their life, but almost entirely forgotten in their final years. 😢

So glad that Shelley found such a wonderful friend in you Jordan. Most people don’t realize that our elderly so often find themselves isolated and alone & find it especially difficult when all their friends start dying off leaving them behind. When they finally lose that spark of life, it usually isn’t long before they pass on as well. RIP Shelley Winters.

Shelley Winters survived some really awful treatment in Hollywood. She was strong as hell. Rest in Peace, Shelly.

What a lovely tribute to Shelly. She lived life to the fullest. R.I.P. Shirley.

Pretty sure what Shelley saw in you is what brought us all to your channel, a genuinely nice guy that has a talent to make people feel better in spite of the challenges of life.

OLD HOLYWOOD is disappearing everyday, but vloggers like you since day one is keeping it alive for us, true HOLLYWOOD history is here to stay!

What a beautiful tribute, Jordan! I don’t think anyone else could have done a better job. You loved her for who she was, and became her family. So proud of you! And I’m so sorry you were blocked out by the daughter, but who knows the history there. And it sounds like Shelley knew very well that the end was near and didn’t want to put you through that, and likely also could have been to protect her own dignity. She did, after all, want you to see her as a glamorous actress. May her memory always be a blessing 💖🙏🕊

I am 56 years and definitely remember Shelley Winters. My favorite movies with her in them were A Place in the Sun and A Patch of Blue. Thank you for honoring her memory and sharing your stories of her!

Beautiful story of Shelly Winter. Sad that her house was not kept as a memorial to her, she was a brilliant actress. Thank you for befriending her Jordan. May she continue to rest in peace ❤

Sad, saw where Betty White's house, now gone & to see this, Shelly Winters house to be demolished, truly sad.....

People come into our lives for different reasons. She needed you and you needed her. What a great tribute to her that you still remember all you shared... and how it has impacted you to this day. We can all only hope someone remembers us this way when we are gone.

Great tribute to Shelley Winters. Winters was a 'no nonsense' woman and did not tolerate BS from people. Some people, especially women, are often considered 'difficult' if they don't take BS from people.

I'm sorry for your loss, Jordan. It's clear your affection for her isn't for camera consumption ❤

Grew up in N. Hollywood and Burbank and hate to see these old, beautiful homes that belonged to iconic folks go down. Shelley was one of my favorites. What a gal. Her biography was great.

Shirley was very fortunate to have a genuine friend like you in her later years! So many older people are totally forgotten or it is considered too much trouble to visit & spend any time with them...no matter who they were in their earlier life. God bless you!

Going overseas in 1964, my father worked for the government, we stayed a few days in NY and Shelly Winters was in the suite next to ours in the hotel we stayed at. My mom was thrilled and even more so when Shelly said hello to her one morning 😊

how anyone could let that happen to her house is beyond me. she was Hollywood royalty

Love your stories of times with Shelley, wish her home wasn't going to be demolished. Tired of historic properties being demolished and replaced with usually very ugly buildings.

Shelley Winters has always been in the top five of my all-time favorite actresses of the Golden Era of Hollywood. Even when she portrayed the despicable Rose-Ann D'Arcey in A Patch of Blue with Sidney Poitier, I couldn't hate my Shelley. She was such a wonderful actress and breathed life and depth into every performance she ever undertook. I'm so glad she had you in her life to love her and give her the respect she most definitely deserved. They don't make 'em like her anymore. Thank you for sharing your precious memories of this legend with us.

Bless her. It's hard to imagine someone as well known as her being lonely. I spent a lot of time with my grandparents and parents before they passed. No one should feel lonely. I've always felt close to seniors. I actually get along with older people better.

I love that she is still remembered in such a lovely way. Thank you for keeping her memory alive.

Jordan - THANK YOU for sharing this. I had a very similar experience with her. I’m now 61, but she was super kind to me for years in Malibu where I grew up. She was great friends with Joan Didion and John Dunne and Lee Grant who were all friends of my father. She treated me like her son and I too knew tons about film and used to grill her all the time about her experiences. She TRULY loved the film world and was so respectful of her talent. She was a ray of light to me and I can see that she was one for you too. You put a smile on my face…..😊

What an amazing friendship! Shelly Winters is a Hollywood legend, and I always loved her.

All I can say is is that you have honored, Shelly, in the most respectful way. She was one of my favorite actresses as a child. I could almost cry. Thank you❤

I love your relationship with her. You actually were in that house when it was still alive. I’m not surprised she loved your kind heart. I always loved her movies. A truly great star. My parents loved her movies, too. She would be happy Jah was there. Thank you, Jordan

What an amazing story, Jordan and I thank you! No one tells Hollywood history like you! Thank you Shelly, just loved her and loved the role she played in your life!

Jordan, So sorry for your loss. 😢 At the same time, you did justice to our memory of Shelly__one of the "real" people, not 'fake' like so many others. 💖🙌😺

Shelley was a beautiful woman and it was so fun to hear her talk about her life in Hollywood. She wrote a tell-all book about her love affairs with famous actors like Marlon Brando.

Jordan it always touches me when you talk about Shelley because you always show just how truly fondly you remember her and just how fond of you she was too. You had told the birthday story before and it always just so sweet and touching that you have that precious memory that she went out of her way to make your birthday special. I'm glad she had you as a friend to visit and keep her company in her old age because clearly she was lonely.

My father met her twice whilst he worked at Heathrow in the 70s, he said she was lovely and happily signed autographs.. its so lovely to hear your memories of her x

Thank you for such a lovely tribute to Shelley Winters. You made her happy at a time in her life when she needed you...and you needed her.The One and Only, Shelley Winters.

Great stories. Ms. Winters was a Hollywood Goddess. May she rest in power!

Jordan, that was wonderful. I’m so glad she had a huge impact on your future. A shame you were excluded from the funeral. Sometimes family members don’t understand friendships made by their loved ones. It would have been great to see the inside of her house. You can say, you were in the right place at the right time to meet Shelly. I loved her and she just told it like it was. Great tribute.

It's sad when blood relatives have no idea the real friendships of their loved ones. Once again you keep it classy Jordan!

That was a fantastic story. You definitely honored her, she would have been so proud 🥲.

I only just now saw your videos and I’m impressed by the love and care you had for Shelley. It’s crazy but several of my friends have told me that whenever they see her pictures or movies they think of MY mother! My mom and Shelley could have been sisters! The resemblance is uncanny. That makes so proud.

What a shame the house has been neglected, but what a wonderful friendship you guys had. Sad that her daughter wouldn't let you come to her funeral. I know you miss her.

I'm sure Shelley would be delighted that you are keeping her memory alive :)

Thank you for doing this for Shelley. We loved her so much!! Your the best story teller!!

Love the delightful story of how you met Shelley. I’ve always enjoyed her movies. And she’s right, you’re a very likable person! Thank you for this video. I hope the demolition people let you do a walk-through. Love to Jah. 🥰

The Night of the Hunter is my favorite Shelley Winters movie. Very haunting with Robert Mitchum as lead character. Thank you for taking us along to her home and resting place.

You can't fake the type of connection and appreciation you had for Shelley, it's actually kinda relatable. I had a very special friendship with a lady that much to my surprise ended up being like a grandmother to me, she passed away from lung cancer three years ago at age 84. Her humor, kindness and reminders of whatever qualities she saw in me will always have a special place in my heart. I wish you could get to do a walk through her home, i think she'd love that, you're remembering her and paying tribute to her as an actress and as a friend. I'd show them this video to convince them if i could... anyway, thank you for another awesome vlog.

WHAT A WONDERFUL BUNCH OF ANECDOTES ON SWEET SHELLEY! She was a great colleague and a wonderful artist! Marty Landau and so many others hung out with Shelley and you my brother... and you... thank you so much for the memory... just a lovely tribute, young man! Thank you! Arthur B (Ngai)

Enjoyed all your stories about Shelley. I always tell people how much I miss old Hollywood. I think it's because of the connection I had with my mom and all the older movies. RIP Shelley. She was such a great actress.

I loved this so much and it popped up at a time of a much needed punch in the arm. She was by far one of the most talented and beautiful actresses of all time. I'm turning 65 this month and feeling like it's all down hill from here NO-WAY !!!! she was still working at 65 and I can feel her soul saying "HONEY 65 IS WHEN THE PARTY REALLY GETS FUN ! Thanks so much for all your stories and adventures. You are the best❤

It sounds like you and Shelley came into each other's lives at just the right time for both of you. It's great when it happens that way. Shelley would be pleased to see you doing so well. ❤

What a touching tribute and testimony to your friendship ❤ Thank you for sharing your memories with us!

I so enjoyed listening to your stories about Shelley Winters. She was one of my favorite character actresses and I always heard good things about her. I love that she enjoyed her celebrity and didn't act like a spoiled brat the way so many do. One of my favorite roles of hers was as Roseanne, the slatternly mother in A Patch Of Blue. She was a great villain in that movie. Sweet Elizabeth Hartman played the daughter she accidentally blinded and Sidney Poitier was impressive as always. As someone who is getting older myself (75), I must say that it is a terribly challenging time in one's life. It's difficult to watch yourself deteriorate and to suffer with pain and disfunction. I felt bad for Shelley that she was unable to have comfortable dentures so she skipped eating. Anyway, thank you again for sharing. Best wishes to you in your future endeavors. ❤

What a gem. I know Shelley is proud of you Jordan. ❤

I'm so glad she found a friend in you Jordan, because your parents raised a lovely young man. You're kind and courteous and above all you're willing to sit and listen which is all an older person really needs sometimes. Thank you for sharing your stories from a screen legend with us.❤

What a beautiful tribute. Really I felt this thru my soul. I have always loved Old Hollywood and Shelly was one of the Best! What an amazing relationship to have. The conversation, the mementos, the memories I can’t even begin to imagine Rest peacefully Ms Winters ❤️✨

I met Shelly 33 years ago. She was the sweetest lady. Diane Ladd is my 2nd cousin. My Grandmother, Mom, and my siblings went to visit Diane and she introduced us to some of her friends. That is such a wonderful memory. ❤

I've heard that Shelley was a real hoot and threw some awesome parties back in the day. That is so cool that you got to spend so much time with her and get to know her. Your genuine sincerity, along with your knowledge and appreciation of old Hollywood probably helped endear you to her and contributed to her befriending you and opening up to you. What a privilege.

What a wonderful tribute to Shelley. I really enjoyed this one, especially when talking about the actors of Old Hollywood; when celebrities were still celebrities. They had class. I think this one meant more to you because of all those wonderful memories of celebrating her life and her last birthdays. What a time that must've been, and then giving us a chance to see Old Hollywood through your eyes. Great job!! Loved it!!

I loved Shelly in the Poseidon Adventure and went to the opening premiere!! Crying shame her house is going to be demolished!! What a grand dame Shelley was!! And how fortunate you were Jordan to have had Shelley as a friend!!

What a lovely tribute. Sounds like at the end she wanted you to have good memories of her, not her dying in a hospital. You were a good friend, a young vibrant man for her to talk to, what a gift you were to each other. 💌

You're so lucky to have met such an icon as Shelley Winters.

This was a lovely tribute to Shelley. I so much enjoyed your story, giving us a personally side to her that we could relate to on some level. And you were so kind and generous with your time and friendship, which she appreciated and treasured. She really needed someone to pass on her wisdom and knowledge to, and it was you! Now I'm going to look for all of early the Shelly Winters movies. Thanks Jordan!

Excellent commentary Jordan! Yes! Ask to do a walk through! She deserved an Oscar for just about every movie she was ever in❤️❤️❤️❤️ PS I’m so glad she was able to be such a strong influence on you! I think she would so love that👍😇

I read some of the other comments and I agree that she knew she was close to passing and didn’t want to put you through that pain and stress. I’m sure it hurt you at the time but I believe she was trying to protecting you

So terrible these places arent protected by some historical committee and dont mean more to the tstate. :(

When I was a teen, I met her once in Maryland. She was so sweet and kind and boy was she a talker. I never forgot meeting her sixty some years later.

Truly a special heartfelt memory. You were a true blessing to Ms. Winters. When seniors begin out living their family and friends and their health is deteriorating they often suffer from loneliness. You were a kind young man who gave your time to her unconditionally and she recognized and appreciated you greatly. Unfortunately, their those who come around, to get what they can from them. Not only family and friends but the hospitals who treat them. My mother was born in 1925 and she loved watching old movies. She loved living in LA. When I moved to LA in the early 80’s she and her friend took me to Rodeo Drive and I saw Kirk Douglas wow I almost fainted. Between LA and Santa Monica I met so many celebrities. However, I never met a great guy like you. Shelly Winters was an excellent judge of character. I have loved watching you on your own channel today. Thank you for sharing and bringing so many great memories from the deep recesses of my mind to the forefront. Special Blessings❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Jordan, what a lovely story you’ve told about your cherished friend Shelley Winters. I enjoyed it so much, I could have listened forever. You are such a wonderful storyteller but your personal relationship with her made this story something special. Thank you for sharing this; I’m sorry for the loss of your treasured friend. Best, Tamara

Wow, how lucky you were to befriend Shelley, but more so, how lucky she was to have found you as a friend. Jealous of all those great stories she shared with you, but really thankful you're able to share them with us. Shelley was pretty great, and you're keeping her memory alive. ❤ Thanks Jordan! May God bless.

Jordan, any way the developers would let you take a cutting from the property? (A small, flowering bush, etc.) -Would love you to be able to plant something from her property onto your present property. If they'd allow you to take any further artifacts from within the home, that would be lovely as well. Appreciate how pivotal this association was for you. Kind and wise person. Friendships can nurture, and I'm glad you had this exchange.

I read her books about her life and watched many of her films and greatly admired her. I never missed The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson when she was a guest, her personality was unique. Rest In Peace Ms. Winters.

You had a wonderful friendship with a wonderful lady. It's sad her daughter didn't invite you to the funeral but you had something very special she can't take away. And now you can visit Shelly anytime you want at her final resting place. And it's you who is keeping her memory alive so she won't be forgotten 🌹

I started watching your channel because I’m a fan of old Hollywood, so I enjoy it when you go back to California and revisit stories you’ve done. You’re genuinely a good person, and Shelly was lucky to have you in the latter part of her life

That was a precious story Jordan! She loved who she loved and you were on her list. What an honor! Thank you for sharing!❤

This is depressing.... I remember Shelly Winters well. She was fantastic!

Reason I started watching you was your vods of old classic Hollywood

Thank you for telling us about your friendship with Shelley Winters... This is so precious, you sure describe everything so lively, you could easily try to write a book describing the places and people you met. Take care. 🧡🙏🧡🌞☺️

Thank you for sharing your precious memories of a time, and a beautiful woman, who have passed. Please keep the faith that Shelley had in you, she was not wrong for believing in you and seeing your potential. I'm truly grateful for all you were kind enough to share with us. What a remarkable human being...Shelley too!

Hey Mr Jordan I'm a mechanic black retired I enjoy yr videos and I love history I'm 69yrs I live in Hammond Indiana thanks for the time and I love the way you present may God bless you and your family I'm also on FB

You and Shelly were so meant to meet and become close friends. She knew you have a kind loving heart. Love the stories about your time with her. It saddens me that her house is going to be demolished. Glad you and Jah got to see her house while it’s still there at least for now. Shelly was a wise woman. Thank you for giving me a reason to smile. Keep being a blessing everywhere you and Jah go. 😊

You were so lucky to have spent time with her Jordan. I am a boomer watched Shelley all my life. I wished they could have saved her home. Nice memories for you.

Jordan this is absolutely one of the best made tributes I have ever seen on KZfaq. You put your all into this, the history, the fun and the relationship you had with Shelly was so fun and interesting to listen to. I too remember Shelly in Poseidon Adventure. It was one of the first movies put out with surround sound and the theatre shook when the boat capsized. Everyone in the theatre was so enthralled by it. Shelly seems to have been the type of actress who cared for all those people who crossed her path. I'm so sorry to see her property in this state. It is as sad as looking at the Minelli estate. I'm so glad you got to know her and that you have such fond memories of her. Thank you for sharing this, I hope you can get inside.

Shelly sounds like such a funny, no-nonsense woman. Such a blessing y’all met. Thanks for sharing!

Shelly Winters’ mom would come into the grocery store my dad worked at and always tell him her daughter was a big movie star. He would nod and just smile because she mentioned it every time she came into the store.I read her first biography, which was highly entertaining. When you were friendly with her was her husband around during those visits. Living with him all those years and then marrying him on her deathbed was quite the story in the tabloids. She was so entertaining.

Thanks for sharing this with us Jordan. She was a great actress and sounds like quite a character in her private life too. I'm happy you got to be her friend in her last days. She obviously saw your honesty, potential and talent. It's sad that her home is being torn down like that, but as I've learned from watching your vlogs, they don't care much about history anymore. Rest in peace Shelly Winters!

This is the sweetest thing. I want a friend like her! I love elderly people and connect to them so easily. You were so lucky to have that friendship with her!

Thank you for sharing your memories of Ms. Winters. It sounds like she was very proud of her work and rightfully so. She had amazing screen presence and stole every scene she was in. She has quite the catalog of great films. She was absolutely Hollywood royalty.

This is a wonderful tribute to your friend, before her home is gone forever. It feels like old Hollywood is constantly torn down and paved over. I love it when you show us that old Hollywood. I hope you get to do your walk through. I wanted you to just go ahead to the house and look through the windows. Thank you for sharing her with us again. Such a amazing thing that happened to you.

What a lovely tribute, Jordan. When she said that you didn't need to visit her anymore, I think many people would have found that rude, but you know she believed in you. And I don't hear anything but love for her in this video. Maybe she didn't want you to see her decline any further. She spoke her mind, it seems! It's wonderful to hear stories no one else can tell but you. So many of your videos have the feeling that you really knew these people, but this one is special, because she helped you get here.

Your video came up in my recommendations, and always loved Shelley Winters- so of course I watched it. I’m glad I did because it was very touching and enjoyable to hear about the friendship you two had. You have a gift for storytelling, respectfully telling us fond & fun details :-) Thanks, and looking forward to another of your videos.

I'm SO relieved to see Jah!!! I was worried that something had happened to that precious puppy. I am 74 so am old enough to have been able to enjoy Shelly Winters in movies and interviews over the years. She was a wonderful actress and, if she was scary"ish" to people at all, I would say that might be because of how hard it was to be a female actor. Hollywood was, is and will continue to be a harder and scarier place than the average movie goer will ever know. You were really blessed, Jordan, to be friends with her and she was really blessed to have you as her friend.♥

It's nice that you don't let big names be forgotten. I like watching old movies and it's nice to learn more about the actors. Shelley was a great Lady. Love from Germany.❤🕊

This was so awesome. There's something that is timeless about the golden age of Hollywood. Today's actors/actresses (pretty much just celebrities now) are out of touch with everything and their egos have gotten bigger than their careers. Classic Hollywood still has that magic.

I hope it didnt hurt your feelings when she said ya dont have to visit me anymore. Old people that close to dying must be so exhausted constantly. ❤

Its sad you weren't invited to the funeral, you were such a good friend to her. You probably gave her many years of happiness 🎉. I'm sure shes watching from above ❤

Don’t know if you’ll ever see this but you should be very proud. You had a wonderful friend in Shelley, and it sounds like she had a wonderful friend in you. All people just want to be remembered and she came back to life by you telling us those stories. I could see her even before the pictures talking to you and making friends and loving remembering those great times and feeling loved one more time. God bless!

Love your stories ! Shelley Winters was one of my favorite actresses and always struck me as being kind and very sweet ❤ I’m truly sorry for the loss of your sweet friend. Thank you for sharing your memories with her ! I’ve seen all of her films. And you are instantly likeable!

Jordan, so nice that you updated your heartfelt blog of Shelley Winters. You are doing the work she always knew you had in you. RIP Shelley

This was awesome. I worked with her as her dresser in Colorado at Elitch summer stock theater for two weeks. She opened the season with “ 26 Charing Cross Road”. She told me sooooo many awesome stories. How she lived with Marilyn Monroe and gave her the open mouth smile and she told me she had many superstitions 😆. I loved her. What a special time that that was. Sounds as if you had many good times with her. Thanks for sharing🙂

From the first time you told us the meeting with Shelly, this has been one of the best vlogs! People are only able to be people and themselves are when they surround themselves with their likenesses. She obviously knew your heart and soul is pure and let her honesty and kindness shine through and it's so great you got to meet her and follow her advice, I always believe that all our meetings, our experiences are not coincidences and it's all meant to be!!! I am so happy you got to share her friendship and have these friendship times with her. Honestly, Jordan, she admired you because your heart is pure. She knew this. It made me so sad when you told us in the first vlog if/when she would pass, you couldn't attend wake/funeral because of her ....daughter-why didn't the daughter come back to CA and claim this house and donate the proceeds to struggling artists who need it or a Elders Home??? She certainly didn't need it! I never understand these things!! She looks down on you and is very proud of you! She's always with you in some way-I believe this. So fortunate to have such a treasured friendship so great, so heartwarming! ;)

I met Shelly Winters in a pharmacy in Los Angeles in the late 90's (She was still playing Roseanne's grandmother at that point) and she was absolutely delightful! Very friendly, funny and gracious to my roommate and I..

Never watched Roseanne. A Patch of Blue, Lolita, and The Devil’s Daughter are favorites. Thank you. 😊

It’s nice that you got to make those enduring memories with Shelley, Jordan. Houses will be demolished but not the memories you carry of your friendship with Shelley. Jah was enjoying the trip to memory lane himself. He’s such a good boy❣️God bless you both on your journeys together. ❤️🙏🏻🐕‍🦺⭐️🌴

What an amazing story. I have a similar experience with peter tork. He believed in me as a friend and really helped me make life changing decisions that I can never repay. I wasn’t invited to the funeral either. But that’s ok, right. Love your story telling thank you!
