what a classy lady- one of the great ones! god we need more people around now like her!!! RIP shelly.

Shelly is obviously a very intelligent, intuitive, insightful, and deeply feeling person. Her conversation and rendition of so many stories are riveting and I could listen to her for hours.

Shelley winters is the type of women that doesn't get bothered or jealous by other beautiful women she seems so chill and relaxed with herself.

This woman was fabulous and only got more gorgeous with age. So attractive and that voice is to die for! I wish Shelley could have lived another hundred years. Thanks for posting - fascinating stuff!

I could listen to her for hours...I always loved how she was a bit "scattered" while she was talking....she was riveting...I bet she was fun to sit and have drinks with....Beautiful lady and so much talent...they don't make them like this anymore.

That was a gem of an interview - literally sparkling. Shelley Winters is rarely put in the company of the top leading ladies of her era, but her body of work easily surpasses the vast majority of them, indelible performances remaining instantly accessible to this day, in some of the greatest classic films of all time. Not to mention what was perhaps her most beloved performance of all - herself! 100% genuine person. Growing up in the Hollywood area, I encountered Shelley a few times when I was younger, usually holding court at a restaurant or event, but the best was on a high school theater trip to NYC, where a tour of the Actors Studio serendipitously ended with the 12 of us surrounding Shelley (at her insistence) as she simultaneously directed a play rehearsal and attempted to learn how to play a hand-held video football game (a modern wonder in 1979) one of us happened to have, which she got into with such enthusiastic glee that her actors had no choice but to drop the play and come join the fun. Shelley Winters loved her work, but never more than life. xox.

I just adored her. She never put on any airs, as they used to say. I read her books and watched all her movies. A Patch of Blue has always been my favorite. She was evil in it but she tore it up! Class act who was sooo beautiful and REAL!!!

she's surely being sarcastic when she tells him he's a terrific listener! delicious sense of humor

God I so loved this woman . Ever since I saw her when I was a little kid in The Poseidon Adventure. Shelly Winters was such a glorious soul!!!

Shelley is one of my all time favourite actors and certainly the most candid and interesting people to listen to. pure gold thank you for sharing. John

She was so Hip and groovy and a wonderful Actress

This interview shows Shelley in a most intelligent light, deeply committed to the acting process and young actors...I have never seen the true color of her shining eyes more clearly, which is metaphoric. Even Skip E. is humbled and at his best. I have heard from actors who studied with Shelley about how boldly brilliant her sensibilities were, and unconditionally loving too, and this gem proves it. Thank you so much for posting, Alan.

Shelly was a consummate artist and beautiful soul. This was a treat to watch.

Shelley was a truly brilliant woman. Definitely off-kilter in a lot of ways, a bit eccentric, but very intelligent and dedicated to what she did.

She's glowing here. Such a great actress, Roseanne was very fortunate to have her on her show, love her movies, you never forget her. So glad you have this on video.

I will always love Shelly winters .

Shelley was one of the great actresses. Her performances in "A Place in the Sun" and "The Diary of Anne Frank" were just wonderful. The current crop in Hollywood wouldn't be fit to shine her shoes.

Skip E. Lowe, spiritual godfather of Jiminy Glick.

Shelley was a bud - I knew her quite well. Think well of her; she deserves it. Talented, and very bright (unusual for an actress) - crazy as a loon - a heart of diamond. We loved each other - no, not as lovers, as people. ...Some great memories.

I've always loved Shelley Winters, acting! He is kind hearted and so giving of herself and the arts! Loved her more when I found out that she was born in St. Louis, Mo.! R.I.P. Dear Shelley!

Thank you so much for this! I loved her memoir "Shelley Also Known As Shirley." She is one of the most intelligent people ever to work in Hollywood and the New York theater. I could listen to her for hours. And this is my introduction to Skip E. Lowe. What a great interviewer! He really does know how to listen and he does not fawn. How refreshing to see Shelley as a thoughtful, multi-faceted person. I can't watch her late night talk show interviews because they are the opposite of what is shown here and what she revealed in her book.

I love Shelley Winters! Beautiful lady in and out and charismatic and fascinating in interviews! Today, celebrities are bland and dull.

I used to see her at the Silver Spoon. She was a sweetheart and she told me she had a daughter who was a doctor on the east coast...

Shelley Winters What a Wonderful Kind Soul Rest in Eternal Peace and Joy and Love.

Shelley, has lived! Coming to Hollywood; as a teenager, you'll have to read her books to get her real stories! She was a magnificent woman and actress! R.I.P. Shelley 🙏⭐🎬⭐🙏

This is a master class unto itself. Seldom have I seen such genuine & charming talent on both ends of the exchange. Shelly deserves a Biopic for sure, and though her amazing career highlights were so many, as Lenny's mom in " Next Stop Greenwich Village" she shatters me every time!

I've always loved Shelley, a great actress. She was wonderful as Charlotte Haze in Lolita.

A great interview with Shelley & she has definitely seen it all from Marilyn starting out to where she is now, loved this!!

Always loved Shelley, and was so proud when I learned she was born in Missouri.

Great woman, sensitive interviewer. Thanks for posting.

I love her and agree with everything she says, 100 percent

Wish it had gone on at least another hour - and it ended just as Shelley got onto the subject of her husbands, Damn! A truly great lady.

Thanks again, Alan Eichler, for sharing some of these terrific interview shows. I recently saw the Merv Griffin show you uploaded with Miss Winters, Debbie Reynolds and Mel Torme. What joy! What bliss! Thanks a million.

Skip was not the greatest interviewer by any stretch of the imagination...he drove me nuts when he cut people off mid story...many interruptions. But, having said that, he left us a treasure trove of conversations with some wonderful entertainers of a bygone era. For that I salute him.

Love! Everyone involved with the best of Shelley, she was herself, and all of her loves allowed her to be so!

a wonderful woman and a fan-tab-u-lous actress . . . thanks for all the amazing performances !!

This is an amazing interview, thank you, Alan Eichler, for posting this!

Shelley still has glamour in her face!

My response to this grande interview w/ Ms. Winters is astonishing. I've watched many of her interviews ; by far this the best. The way she speaks of John Kennedy's Assassination is exactly as it was for me as well. Although, I was in grade school I had fallen in love w/ The Kennedys. We had a great Vibrancy of a new & revitalized spirit in America. His death was the end of that dream that indeed had become a reality. Her definition of feelings at that time I believe closely show what an Entire World felt.

Came here right after watching 1959's "Diary of Anne Frank" (a far better WWII movie than The Pianist imo.). I, being foolish, expected Shelley Winters to be antagonistic and reserved in interviews. This proved me wrong. What a great, honest personality she was and what a cool interview!

A great actress, a great human being. She was a good friend of Jordan the lion, (a youtube star) during her last years. He's taken us to her grave and he tears up when he talks about her. She was a true friend.

I just adore her in every way! Such a beautiful lady🙌💖 Thank you for uploading this treasure

I loved Shelley Winters and I really enjoyed her interviews and books. I still miss her. John Sivorn

This is a great program; Skip is awesome. To respond to one of their subjects: I was in the 9th grade. All students were called back to their homerooms. Miss Salisbury adressed us in a stern serious manner, "There is a rumor that President Kennedy has been shot. You are all to go home as quicly as you can and pray it isn't true."

Shelly was a first class swimmer and won awards for it. She did her own swimming scenes in The Poseidon Adventure. It's a wonderful movie and her scenes are fantastic.

Illuminating interview. Shelley great as always on her craft and life.

LOVE HER !!

Shelley loved our country and she had Great ❤️🙏

Very 1980s' feature. Enjoyable vintage clip. Winters was always sincere, ironic as well as outspoken. Rare uploading.

This interviewer was an inspiration for creating Jiminy Glick

Shelly Winters was great fun to watch especially on talk shows...she was indeed a big mouth character.

I was the floor manager! Ms Winters was the kindest person. She was so gracious to the crew and we always remembered that.

Her performance in "What's The Matter With Helen?" isn't talked about enough. The nuances from repressed, to absolutely insane, are something to behold...a force of nature!

Fanstastic actress ! One of the best 👌🏼she's great in horrors !

ive memories of her in the back of a van on a mattress driven to clubs, her fans would come out and say hi. good times. wild woman...

He had such great guests, but his constant interruptions and distractions are unnerving.

Wow...I don't understand all the shade thrown at SEL... His show was on public access for crying out loud! Just a guy enjoying life and enjoying a chat with friends... He never claimed to be anything but a lover of all things old Hollywood! And many famous folks loved him! I adore his shows ❤

She's all the talent very rare to come along.

Shelley was nearly 70 when she did this interview.

In high school we were made to watch the movie was Shelley Winters were she was in an attic with these other people trying to get away from Hitler it was very hard for me to watch and made me very sad but now that I'm older I was glad our teacher forced us to watch it

May I recommend a SENSATIONAL & SENSITIVE Winters performance in a little-known film? It's called AN UNREMARKABLE LIFE with Patricia Neal and Mako. About two elderly sisters who live together and depend upon each other and what happens when one of them (Neal) enters into a relationship with a gardner (Mako). Winters is incredibly moving. Well- worth checking out!

Ive only seen her in ‘The Night of the Hunter’. She was wonderful. They all were

That is so great that Skip ,for once, doesn't interrupt the interviewee as much as usual.

I have watched several interviews with Shelley Winters and I have grown to love her. She is warm and honest and kind to her fellow actors. Oh, and did I say interesting and a treasure trove of Hollywood lore. It seems that Mr. Lowe emphasized her jewish heritage more than she does.

I loved the Bob Wagner remark in Harper " She got fat" underated actress by some but appreciated by true film lover's.

Shelley.... I love her, she's a STAR.

I have always liked Shelly , The part where she speaks of Otto Frank & says he never saw the film ? How could he ! I remember Tina Turner saying she never saw what's love got to do with it & when asked why she replied I lived it ! I could never watch certain parts of my life on stage or on screen ! We all have terrible parts we have to play in this world & God knows its bad enough to have to live through them let alone watching someone play them . I remember when the diary of Ann Frank was first performed in Holland near the end when the Nazis storm the attic the people in the audience let out a huge scream because so many had actually lived through it . At the end of the play when the curtain came down it was pure silence ! no one clapped or said a word ! It was pure silence & then the Queen of Holland got up & left with her lady's in waiting & the crowd followed . Sad to say the least . I hope they are all together now & at peace xoxoxo ...

This intro is everything

I love this woman.

I would have loved to have a conversation with her but would enjoy all her stories!

I don't know how Skip got the big stars, but he did and his interviews would have been great, if he let people finish what they were saying.

LOVED HER STYLE

I love her so much!

Yes she is special

I loved Skip E Lowe. Performed in the Belly Room and Skip E Lowe was always kind to me.

That is so funny that she tells the story of yelling CUT!!! and stopping a scene during Anne Frank because the director of The Poseidon Adventure says she did that same thing on THAT movie, and it drove him nuts, she yelled it because she saw a piece of paper on the floor that wasn't supposed to be there! The director told her not to ever do that and nobody was going to see the floor in the shot anyway!! Well Shelley did get nominated for Poseidon Adventure.....

I remember seeing her in the Paul Newman movie Harper. It was done the same year as I was born.

She was great on Roseanne.

Shelly is one person Skip can't talk over

thats terrible to learn that Susan Strasberg turned down the movie of Anne Frank. Not only would she have been great in it(like she was on stage) but it might have made her a bigger star. She had a promising career but it didn't work out. I used to believe George Stevens didnt want her cause he thought she was too old,, but Shelley tells it differently here.

Night of the hunter. My favorite.

SHELLY is among the greatest

Glick stole directly from every bit this...hilarious...Skip E Lowe was a character

He is an interesting character.

I would love to have known this woman, I've always found her fascinating.

Always loved Shelley and she caused me to tear up when she started to talk about the Kennedys. America was sullied after the assassinations of JFK and RFK

Down to earth.

The performing flamingo needs to shut up and let Shelley speak.

She will always be Nana Mary.

Shelley Winters was amazing & thankfully is being remembered as such, not as the ditzy persona she'd put on for talk shows in the 70s & 80s. One such appearance though is definitely worth checking out. Search "Shelley Winters Oliver Reed Tonight Show" and sit back LOL!

Besides his annoying habit of interrupting and making ah-hah noises of affirmation, Skip’s overall demeanor and style remind of that cloying character Martin Short did years ago on SCTV. I give Winters credit for getting through it and expressing herself.

Great interview. Funny, the movie she did with Roger Moore in Belgium and can't remember the title of is 'That Lucky Touch'. Not the best of movies but she was funny as hell in it. Most of her scenes were shot in the castle of Rumbeke.

Shelley was quite attractive as a young woman but became somewhat matronly as she matured and perhaps a little overlooked as a result. Having said that, she was always a GREAT actress!

He ought to listen to himself, he cuts people off....an interviewer needs to let the guest speak...

'Which Husband...? you got to be more specific'...LOL forever RIP Ms. Winters...Incidentally, her passing followed by her earlier ex-Husband actor, Tony Francisiosca, was very weird, and indicates True Love still existed.

I love this....SKIPPY is great....SHELLEY is brilliant...

Winters is not the most believable person around...but i suggest the movie Let No Man Write My Epitaph......if you can find it.....as an example of her best acting...and also as a much better movie than it is given credit for...i think it is a gem...

Somehow, Shelley, a more forceful speaker, managed to keep Skip from running rampant over him. That takes formidable skill!

THIS is so cheesy from the intro to the whole piece !!! That's what makes it a classic !! & Martin Short took a bit here and there ......LMAO !! { I am 56 and remember Skip E. Lowe !

I wonder what Shelley would have to say today in regard to the newly elected president.
