    This interview really put Shelley Winters in perspective. I only knew her old, seeing her on talk shows and the like. I looked her up and read a bit about her after seeing this interview, and looked at images of her when she was young and incredibly beautiful. What a life she had, on the cutting edge of everything.

    Shelly Winters is such a legend. She is a consummate actor whose career embodies such a range of work, all the while humble with crafty smarts. LOVE HER and, people don't realize that she raised up so many others just by being a friend and as someone who rolled with the punches in Hollywood and Broadway. She made great choices, was never type cast.

    When I used to watch the talk shows like Merv Griffith, he used to always have Shelley Winters on reminiscing about old Hollywood. Her recollections were so insightful and lots of fun. One more thing, when Shelley was trying to recall the director "with the patch on his eye", that wasn't William Wellman. Raoul Walsh had a patch on his eye.

    Perhaps Shelley Winters was difficult to work with as an actress, but the results of her performances speak for themselves. This interview reveals another side of Shelley which I never saw in her television interviews with Griffin or Carson. I discover Shelley the acting teacher. I like her as the teacher. I think she would have really let actors know where they stand with the craft.

    Winters was a very good actress, but I just saw an interview with Bernie Coppell Love Boat, who said Shelly was impossible to work with when she had a guest appearance on the show. He said she was a monster and made it tough for everyone. I've heard things like this about Shelley Winters before so I believe it.
