Too short - I could happily have through a couple of hours of that. Great man, great actor.
Will they be cobbling together an Omar Sharif one now I wonder? |

I'm no film buff, but I struggled to think of anything Omar Sharif has done of note since the 60's, although he could have been a busy bee in European Cinema.
Episode 10 of 10 in Series 2, then again Series 1 started as 10 parts then kept expanding randomly when the episodes turned up on BBC Two. Whole series is probably based on price, what's the BBC got in the archive that won't cost them much to air. Shame they've got the same attitude to promoting their own product and don't want to spend on trailers for it. Downloading Christopher Lee now. |

Christ, what an abysmal interviewer Wogan was! Toe-curling stuff and not helped by the satellite delay.
Not seen the movie afterwards and was pleasantly surprised. Heart-warming stuff with a nice unshowy performance from the Welshman. |

Very creepy. Thanks for the heads up. Would have missed it. Even though I've seen most of those interviews in previous Talking Pictures episodes. Bette Davis. What a legend. So funny. And Debbie Reynolds was hilarious also.

Jesus - How creepy is Joan Crawford?!?! She certainly came across as uptight. Fantastic actress, but not good in interviews. Bette Davis was the polar opposite. I could watch her interviews for hours. ![]() Debby Reynolds was hilarious. I have read all three of their autobiographies. All three have had very interesting lives to say the least. ... Sad to think Natalie Wood was dead a year after the interview we saw. |

An unacceptable level of perving over Jodie Foster in that interview. If anyone wants to know about the prevailing attitudes of the BBC in the 70s just watch that clip!

Yes, I felt a bit uncomfortable with that. The interviewer (was it Desmond Morris?) kept going on about her looks and the way she dressed. He wouldn't have said anything about the appearance of one of the young male actors I'm sure!
What are you two on about. Appearance is suddenly a non issue in the Film business? Judy Garland started going downhill when the Studio stuck her on pep/diet pills, because they were worried about her weight. If Jodie Foster had gone down a similar road of addictions and problems, then an interview asking about her appearance and attitude to it, near the beginning of her career, would be a lot more relevant from this angle. If Jodie Foster didn't look like Jodie Foster it's unlikely she'd have had the career opportunity's she's had. Just because it's an older man asking the questions doesn't mean he has /had designs on her, the perving here is in your minds. As for not talking about a young actors appearance, that would depend on the young actor and if they got a lot of female attention, then it wouldn't be any kind of leap for the interviewer to ask about their appearance and attitude to it. I'd lay money that Michael J Fox got plenty of questions on that subject in his time. As she was mentioned, what happened to Tatum O'neal's film career, pretty sure she won an award at 10 for Papermoon with her Dad, he as a F'up as a parent IIRC though, which might have bearing on it. |

Just because it's an older man asking the questions doesn't mean he has Impossible to say what was in his mind and one question on the subject would barely have registered but he kept coming back and back to it until both she and the watching audience were uncomfortable with it and at that point the "Why is he doing this?" pops into your mind./had designs on her, the perving here is in your minds.

Nothing to do with her prodigious acting ability then? I think you might've just reinforced the kind of creepy sexism shown in the interview. She was 15!
I was clearly talking about her appearance, if you want to argue the toss that if she looked like Rebel Wilson for example, she'd have even have got an interview for 90% of her film roles, then go ahead. Yup a fat Jodie Foster would have been Front and centre of those Disney films, because it's all about acting ability in Hollywood. Now you can go off and infer someone else is some kind of nonce, because they disagree with you. |

The inference you take is of your own choosing.

I'm allowed to have an opinion thanks very much and I thought it was unnecessary that the interviewer kept asking her things like 'Don't you want to wear make up?' and 'Don't you wear dresses?' etc. And I didn't think the interviewer necessarily had designs on her I just thought what the hell did her choice not to wear dresses etc have to do with anything? He just kept pressing her about her looks.
I don't know what's up with you people, simply disagree with you and I have to read some guff about opinions and how they're allowed them. You've got a keyboard type whatever you like or not, I'm not trying to stop you. Quite why I need to point that out, I don't know, thought it was obvious. Can't be ar$ed with this. |
