Hello Lesley Love! 🫶🏻

Yes, he really did.

Merci beaucoup pour votre aimable commentaire ! Vous êtes la première personne à me dire quelque chose de gentil depuis très longtemps et cela signifie beaucoup. Je suis tellement ravi que vous ayez apprécié la biographie. ☺️💜

I agree his birth name was dreadful lol

Wow thank you so much for your extremely kind words! I’m bowled over with gratitude! I truly am! I’m so glad my video accomplished what I had hoped for in making it. I’ve loved Roddy deeply since 2017, and at the time that I fell into his work and discovered him, there was very little of his filmography available online. It was so difficult to find his films, and mentioning his name almost always brought responses that consisted of “who?” Or “what’s a Roddy McDowall movie?!” Broke my heart. I wanted people to know how amazing he was and how important he was and still is in regards to his influence in the film preservation movement. We wouldn’t have half the movies on dvd today that we have if it weren’t for him. He was a titan of his time and I deeply miss him! I love meeting and talking to other people who are his fans. He truly left an indelible positive mark on the world, and everyone I know who was touched by him in their lives, be it in person or through his films turn out to be truly beautiful and warm people! I love how he brings so many people together! Thank you so much for watching my video, I’m so thrilled you enjoyed it. It meant the world to me to make it and put it out there for people to enjoy. The responses have all been so positive and I’m just so happy that so many have enjoyed it. Thank you again so much! 🌹🌹🌹🌹

Thank you lesley love!!!! Love you!!!!

Thank you so much! Same to you ☺️

Sorry you were disappointed, but I appreciate you watching to the end. 🙂

He is indeed quite loveable ❤️

Wow I’ve never heard of them, very cool!

Ohhh very cool!

sono completamente d'accordo! ho adorato la serie tv Planet of the Apes ed ero molto dispiaciuto che ci fossero solo 14 episodi. penso davvero che se gli sceneggiatori della serie si fossero impegnati un po' di più e non si fossero lasciati andare alla routine di perdere la trama, la serie sarebbe durata di più. davvero ingiusto. per quanto riguarda i film e la carriera di Roddy sono anch'io pienamente d'accordo. i suoi film erano insuperabili, come dici tu. alcuni veri classici che non saranno mai dimenticati! grazie per il tuo commento.

❤️❤️❤️❤️

Awww what an awesome memory! You're so welcome!😊

Sono completamente d'accordo! Grazie per aver guardato! 💜💜💜

Wow thank you so much! I’m never thought of it that way, I appreciate your insight! I’m so glad you enjoyed the biography. Many thanks 🙏🏻

You’re very welcome! I’m glad you enjoyed it ☺️

Thank you so much!

I agree it is definitely difficult to see him the same way after learning all I learned for this biography.

Right? The abuse she endured from him was absolutely shocking! If I had been her I would run long before the wedding and gone no contact. But of course I've had experience with people like Cary. Dyan never had so she didnt know what she was getting into, same as I didnt the first few times it happened to me. She must have been absolutely terrified.

Same here! He truly was❤️

My pleasure, thank you for watching! I’m glad you enjoyed it ❤️☺️

Thank you so much!😍😊

@@NashaDean 💙

Not surprised at all me dear! ☺️❤️ you’ll be pleased to know, he’s on the list 😘

@@NashaDean Thank you, Darlin’!! 💚🤗🤗💚

You’re most welcome my love! ❤️☺️🤗

You’re so welcome! I’m glad you’re enjoying it. I don’t normally do stars who are still living, but I do already have Kim on the list, so she’ll be featured after the last four planned episodes ☺️

Thank you so much!!!❤️☺️

My pleasure ☺️

Thank you my darlin’! Isn’t it neat? I’ve learned more random stuff just studying old Hollywood actors than I’ve ever learned anywhere else, and it’s all been useful information lol what an education! I’m so glad you enjoyed it Lesley love!

I love that song soo much. I cry every single time I hear it!

Thank you so very much! You’re so kind. ❤️

@@NashaDean please do more if you can?

@user-mr6vo8ks9q I definitely plan too ☺️ may be a long while between videos because I have another job, but I do plan too ❤️

@@NashaDean excellent!

Thank you and I’m so glad you enjoyed it. It was my pleasure making it. ☺️

@@NashaDean it was great! Content to know it was not taken from gossip magazines like most videos on You Tube; well done! I sent a copy to the Ava Gardner Museum; they will love it.

@Angelo_Manuel awwwww that was so kind of you!!! Thank you for doing that❤️❤️❤️❤️

I promise I didn’t forget them. ❤️☺️They are slated to have their own documentary in the future. But there wasn’t time to discuss every single movie he ever made on the podcast, so I had to neglect some. But fear not, they will be covered in the future. ☺️❤️

Yes indeed!

You’re very welcome for the biography, I’m so glad you enjoyed it; and Thank you so much! The understanding I’ve received on this has been so heartwarming and I am so grateful for all of you and your patience! As for helping myself heal, I will check out Travis’s RUclips, thank you! I’m also studying meditation for healing as well. I’m sure this will be useful, thank you again! I deeply appreciate you all so much. ❤️

Well said! I love this so much!!!

@@NashaDean Thank you so much. It's true too that I loved Ingrid for many years and still watch her films, particularly 'Stromboli' and Cactus Flower. She was a true inspiration for people around the world to find what they were looking for and to pursue it with a vengeance. She lived and learned and had no regrets about her decisions.

@ianedwards4400 yes! I too, absolutely adore her. She’s always been hugely inspirational to me. I admire her courage and her unwavering devotion to herself and to her craft. She was a remarkable human being, and I deeply regret not being alive at the same time as she was. I would have loved to have met her had I been born at another time.

@@NashaDean I was born in the early 50's, but my folks were huge movie-buffs. It is through them and the many DVD's that we possessed that I learnt in depth of her life and career. Ingrid is truly irreplaceable. She was very much a real human-being with no airs or false pride. To sum her up best as " A very down-to-earth respectable human being, despite her world-wide fame, glamour and wealth"

@ianedwards4400 wow that is such a wonderfully apt description! I love that! I’m an elder millennial (late 80s baby) but my grandparents were movie buffs, or rather my gramma was. And she raised me on the classics, a lot of which featured Ingrid. I remember the first time I ever saw her in Casablanca she literally took my breath away. I thought “wow! What a beautiful lady!” She immediately captivated me, and I wanted to see every film I could get my hands on. At the time, all that was available was gaslight, Casablanca and notorious. So of course those were the films I watched constantly. To this day, Notorious and Gaslight are my favorite films. Notorious is a comfort movie for me, I put it on when I’m cleaning or have a project I need to do. I’ve seen the film so many times, just listening to the audio as the movie plays in the background, I can see the film in my head. So I can concentrate on what I’m doing while enjoying the film at the same time and never having to look at the screen to know what’s going on. And even then, Ingrid’s beauty radiates. Her voice is like music. I really really love her.

Thank you sweet friend ❤️

Indeed!❤️❤️❤️❤️

Awwwww thank you so much! ☺️❤️

This is Ann by the way but played for husband, Mark, as well and he is totally impressed.

@markanderson5365 oh hi Ann!!! Haha I thought it was you but I wasn’t sure for a second 🤣 Thank you so much doll!

Thank you so much! Yes I do too!

🤭thank you Albie!!☺️❤️

Wow what a sweet memory! Thank you so much for sharing that! I can relate to your story so deeply, tho I never met Roddy or saw him in person in anything, (I was only 10 when he died and lived on the other side of the country). I grew up watching Roddy’s movies and I too have every single movie he ever made with a couple of exceptions. I’ve been seeing Roddy‘s films and TV shows since I was two years old. He’s literally been part of my life since infancy, and I just adore him so deeply. You were so fortunate to be able to speak to him and to see him in dial m for murder. What a treat that must have been! I’m so glad you enjoyed this bio. It was a delight to make 😊❤️❤️❤️

@@NashaDean Thank you. I am 61 years old and still watch Roddy all the time. He was such a talented actor in various character types he could play anything convincingly. I love his role in Fright Night 1985. The name of his character is Peter Vincent. To pay homage to Peter Cushing and Vincent Price. I recently watched a Fright Night convention and was wondering if someone would ask how it was working with Roddy. They all had nice things to say about him. Most had said his professionalism and friendliness to everyone being he was such a distinguished actor by 1984/1985. The young actors in the movie learned a great deal from Mr. McDowall and Mr. Sarandon. Chris Sarandon became very emotional when the question was asked because he and his wife were very close to Roddy even before they made Fright Night. He was close to Roddy in his final days and saw him not long before he died October 3, 1998. I could talk about Roddy all day. 💜✨

I absolutely know how you feel, I could talk about him all day too, and frequently do!😊 thank you for sharing these memories with me ❤

Thank you so much for your kind comments! And I completely agree! He went through so much. It’s just a shame that his therapist wasn’t any real help. And it’s even more of a shame that there were no words for abuse or mental illness at that time. Not to diagnose anyone as I’m not a psychiatrist, but he screams borderline personality disorder to me. Which, would fit perfectly because he was both abused and neglected as a child and never had his needs met. Hence his strong abandonment issues. When BPD goes untreated it gets worse and can cause the sufferer to change drastically, which explains why he was sweet to one wife and awful to the others. The situations of his life and stressors at the time seem to have added to his mental struggles. With the right therapist and proper medication today, Cary probably would have healed so much sooner, and hurt no one. Maybe his first marriage could have worked out. It’s a true tragedy. He just wanted to be loved but he didn’t know how to love back. And yes Dyan does seem an incredible woman. I absolutely would not have forgiven cary after treatment like that and would have gone no contact, burnt bridges forever. And would have kept the child from him. Cary was fully dangerous during his marriage and divorce to Dyan, not just to Dyan but also to himself. Its truly miraculous that everything worked out well in the end. I’m glad you enjoyed the film, it was truly a roller coaster 🎢 to make but I enjoyed creating it and learning what I learned. Even tho it made me cry a lot lol

@NashaDean Thank you for responding. I agree with you about Ms Cannon's ability to forgive and that what CG probably suffered was BP. I too, most definitely cried over quite a bit of this. It's amazing that he was able to 'pretend' to such a high degree on film. Remarkable, really.

@MarilynFromTarotClarity I wholly agree. He had amazing talent!

Thank you, you’re very welcome!

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! And you’re very welcome! I do have plans to do a feature length biography on Roddy in the future. But probably won’t be for a couple of years with everything else I’ve got going on. But I periodically post Roddy content so keep your eye out ☺️

Thanks for Your precious reply. I understand perfectly!

I fully agree!

@@NashaDean Right up there with "Alien" which should also have won the Oscar the year it was nominated.

Hi Amy! Thank you so much for your sweet comment ☺️✨❤️It’s very true, people like them are very rare. I was indeed very blessed to have them as my grandparents. I have never known love as deep as the love they showed me, and I miss them dearly. You’re very welcome, Thank you for watching and I’m glad you enjoyed the video. I loved sharing my memories with all of you. ❤️

☺️☺️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much! ☺️❤️
