So... a "true journalist" is more interested in their choice of sweater than asking "contentious" questions like "Why, Mr. Scott, did you beat the fuck out of your co-star Ava Gardner such that you broke her bones?" - Perhaps there's "informative" and "too informative" Oh, and "over 40,000 interviews"? If you did one interview every single day, that would take 109 years, 6 months and 5 days. Did you double up on Sundays?

Magnificent work, *Ms.* *Prose.* How refreshing to see an interview of substance and integrity of the highest journalistic order, a craft seemingly in short supply these days. And George C. Scott--what a treasure! He's most assuredly one of my all-time favorite actors. I've read he could be a terribly moody person, particularly during interviews, but you asked all the right questions with just the perfect tone, which no doubt allowed him to be as open in any interview I've ever seen of him. Again, *this* is how sublime journalistic professionalism looks and sounds. It's meant to inform and enlighten, and this interview does just that.

I didn't know of Eileen Prose, she is so warm and engaging and an excellent interviewer, really informed and what a wonderful flow to the conversation. Bravo Eileen. George came across so relaxed and oozing charm with a lovely glint in the eye.

Patton said that his father cried when the family first saw the movie and he saw Scott’s portrayal of his own father (Gen. Patton) on screen. His father felt that it was so accurate and captured him realistically. As Robert related the story, he was a boy when the movie came out, and he noticed his dad crying during the movie. Little Robert asked his father “what’s wrong, Dad?” His father replied that the movie depiction was so accurate and realistic that it seems like he’s looking at his own dad. Pretty powerful statement by Gen. Patton’s son on Scott’s portrayal of his father.

Like me I'm sure he was "half-assed" because to be "full-assed" you have to give up any semblance of thoughtfulness or modesty, and especially anonymity. Would drive a man to drink, and he did.

@@sdwriter2626 Patton is one my favorites of all time.

Scott had it right about the Academy Awards being a pompous puff show. "The whole thing is a goddamn meat parade. I don't want any part of it." Just look at today's actors and you will see exactly what Scott hated about all of this stupid Hollywood fluff. As if anyone cares what some airhead actor has to say about politics, as one example.

Actors in the 40's and 50's were onto politics as much as today . We just didn't have all the media outlets to magnify everything .

Funny that he considered himself a moderate conservative. He was very progressive on some matters, such as the Oscars. That was a radical opinion and I love it.

If any of you have never watched “A Christmas Carol”, and movie filmed in 1984 with George Scott playing the part of Ebenezer Scrooge... you have really missed out! I think it is his greatest performance! It’s been a tradition in my family to watch it the day before Christmas. Amazing! Amazing! Amazing!

He played Scrooge with an understated menace.Alastair Sim's take made him seem snobbist and just a miser. Scott made him seem like a man who enjoyed being cold-hearted and mean spirited because of his own internal wounds. The turn around at the end when he visits his nephew really shows his duality as an actor.

“The List Of Adrian Messenger” was one of the finest performances he ever gave.Just pure acting at its best.Its a great movie worth watching again and again.

A wonderful actor,to be sure...

George C. Scott was the best in any role he played, but "Patton" and "A Christmas Carol" were two of his very best. May He rest in peace.

Huge respects to late Jeorge C Scott. Where are guys like Patton. America needs em to win Wars in future too.... love from Sam India.

To hear the people who knew him best tell it, GCS sober was as nice and warm a gentleman as one could ever hope to meet... and when he drank he made Mr. Hyde look like Mr. Rogers. The warmth definitely comes through in this interview. Thanks for posting.

"The Exorcist 3" was an acting clinic. Tragically overlooked film.

My God, this interview is outstanding! Dear “journalists” of today, getting a good and honest interview is so much more valued than trying to play “gotcha journalism” and tricking the subject into saying something that you can take out of context that will cause some possible controversy. I miss those days.

I'm sure Ms. Prose had a lot of George C. Scott in her. The ambush journalists, the ones who are obnoxious in order to get the attention of the industry they're in, are doing it for their own aggrandizement at the expense of the people they're interviewing. It's quite plain to me that Ms. Prose wasn't in that job to prop up her own image; she was interested in the people she interviewed and as a result, put them at ease enough to get honest and thoughtful answers from them.

How George could keep a straight face with a sweater as that is a mystery.

I’ve always liked his movies. Definitely one of the best. But I respect him more as a human being. Very direct and to the point, but soft spoken. Humble. As it should be. 🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽🤘🏽

Much respect to Mr. Scott. R.i.P

Oh I'm such a fan of George C. Scott. I don't remember this woman interviewer. But, son, she did such a good job. We need more like her today.

I loved this movie so much I bought the book. The movie was faithful to the book also. I really enjoyed immersing myself totally into the experience of its creators. I hope someday it shows up on streaming and BlueRay. There is a poor copy of it on KZread, still worth the experience though.

Another movie along the same line is "Mister Moses-1965" staring Robert Mitchum. Mitchum plays a con man set in Africa selling a magic elixir in the countryside. Also like Flim Flam Man and Mister Moses, many movies never made it to VHS let alone DVD. I got a copy in 1977 that was recorded off a late night TV movie that was pretty grainy. KZread has a copy and I highly recommend you give it a view, you won't be disappointed. So many actors did movies that aren't recognized as their "greatest" work, which is somewhat understandable (based on budgets and promotions). However, some of their work may not be politically correct by today's standards, which is sad for film history.

He was amazing. My fav film is Hospital, seen it several times and still enjoy his role, the satire. Besides, he was looking great at the time being.

I’m 68 years old and I have always had a huge crush on George C Scott since I was 16 years old.

I always loved George C Scott. His "Patton speech" at the beginning of the movie is just the greatest speech EVER!!!!.

I HONESTLY think that's one of the very best interviews G. C. S. has ever given!! He's usually been so closed mouth and un-cooperative, but not this one - he clearly enjoyed talking to the interviewer!

George C. Scott, one of my favorites. By comparison, today's actors seem to demand so much more and yet appear all the smaller for it.

A simple and effective formula for all actors: Believe in the character.

He says he was a "moderate conservative". Nowadays that would translate to be a flaming liberal! The best actor Hollywood ever produced.

No, he’d be considered conservative today. He wasn’t a PC guy, which is something many liberals like to uphold or present themselves as.

George C. Scott was the Harley Race of Hollywood. Incredible at his craft, no bullshit, speaks softly but carries a big stick, clearly not someone to mess with. And both are sadly missed.

Great interview.

What a spot on interview, casual but so knowledgeable. I just watched a documentary on Ava Gardner and all I was sad to hear of how she faired in their relationship. I’m assuming some but maybe not all of that was a direct relation to the alcoholism of both powerhouse people. Subbed and glad to do so.

George C. Scott was one of the most amazing Actor who ever lived.....whatching on Crystmas's Carol ( he deserved an Oscar for this Play) and Charles Dickens Masterpiece Oliver Twist make you became an Actor yourself

I just appreciate the complete candidness of the interview
