All the actors and actresses you are showing were wonderful and fantastic people, they will always be remembered as people who made the movies they were in even better.
I enjoyed this informative video. I believe Robert Young needed more recognition . So glad he gained widespread praise for his TV series: Father Knows Best - and later Marcus Welby, MD.
Showing Tab Hunter clips while discussing Van Heflen, and showing Joan Fontaine film clips while discussing Gladys Cooper.... it's sad. The tidbits are interesting. Many of the film clips accurately show the actor or actor being discussed, but it is like reading a history book on FDR and showing clips of Harry Truman. It's a distortion and a disservice to history. Others will view these videos and be completely off-base and sends a false narrative in relation to the images. These clips show various actors and actresses not being discussed. Many facts are assigned to films that were not the actor or actress in discussion. Again, it's sad.
Pronounced Bettee Davis, not Bet. Joel Mick- CRAY. Kay Francis started at Paramount, appearing in THE COCONUTS with the Marx Brothers. Fredric March was also a closeted bisexual. In 1934, George Arliss' HOUSE OF ROTHSCHILD was one of 3 films released with a Technicolor finales. Philo Vane is pronounced FYLO VANCE. Joe E. Brown's Thisby in 1935 A MISUMMER NIGHTS DREAM is a classic. Una Merkle played Effie in 1931's THE MALTESE FALCON, engaging in a famous onscreen catfight in DESTRY RIDES AGAIN 1939, and lastly as the Mother of Geraldine Page in SUMMER AND SMOKE. LOUISE FAZENDA, wife of Hal B. Wallis, is remebered for ALICE IN WONDERLAND 1933, and THE OLD MAID 1939, with Bette Davis & Miriam Hopkins.
Incorrect coverage on actress Gladys Cooper, at first showing clips of Joan Fontaine. Same thing also with George Arliss, whose clips suddenly turned into Ronald Colman. This video needs better accuracy in pairing its script with its collection of clips.
One of the best character actors ever…who proved he could transition from supporting to leading roles…get ready for it…Richard Farnsworth (remember the straight story).
Janette Nolan was a great actress. Remembered character as Dirty Sally on Gunsmoke. Eddy Albert was Oliver Douglas on Green Acers, but his best work was in Roman Holiday
Do you think people under 25 know who Clark Gable, Spencer Tracy, Kate Hepburn, or Bette Davis are? They aren't forgotten. Those people never knew who they were.
@josesanchez-os7zr the only reason movie stars like the ones you mentioned are forgotten is because the so called movie fans of today won't bother to watch black and white movies. It's their own fault. I am so glad I did not grow up in the CGI generation.
Claude Rains was also an outstanding good guy as the titular “Mr. Skeffington”….opposite the outstanding naughty girl Bette Davis. Thanks for compiling this interesting presentation of acting pro’s whose work should be better remembered.
Dick Powell was singer actor in the 30s and then later did really good murder mystery movie's and then was a director of tv Western s and movies he was also married to June Allison who was a big Star back in the Golden age of movies
Appreciate the well deserved highlighting of these wonderful actors, and hope you do more. But please, use a *real* human voice, the mispronouncing and awkward stumblings (especially in the Noah Beery section) are painful to listen to, and using AI frankly runs entirely contrary to the Era you're representing. And really...do something about the research/editing! Apart from the hilariously awful featuring of facist leader Enoch Powell at the opening of William Powell's section. Why do you keep intercutting Van Heflin with Tab Hunter?! Then you feature Joel McCrea, Dana Andrews, Thomas Mitchell and Bill Travers, Robert Mongtomery, David Niven in George Sander's section. Warren William (Warren W?) barely features in his own segment!
That 's the first time I've seen the British Member of Parliament and Secretary of State for Health and Social Security, Enoch Powell, listed as the Hollywood actor, William Powell. Look at Section 10.21. Also noticed a few other errors with other actors too.
Some of these were character actors who did not get the same press as the A list stars. I recognized them because I'm a huge fan of films from the 30s and 40s. Anyone familiar with this era would definitely remember their faces.
Very good list with great actors. Marie Dressler, Victor McLaglen, Ward Bond, Barry Fitzgerald, George Tobias, Alan Hale, Sr., Harold Lloyd. All deserve to be mentioned. One special mention because he was never a lead but always loved by Hollywood and the audience is S.Z. "Cuddles" Sakall.
@@LFire12Thank you for your spell check. I am more concerned with AI pronunciation of the man's name. Perhaps AI won't replace human beings after all!
Here's the problem. Your written dialogue is good but you use so many images that are Not of the actor you are talking about that it's disgraceful. Can't you do better? I could never thumbs up or subscribe to something that makes this many errors.
All from the classic period. Not forgotten by old movie fans. When you say forgotten, you should be talking about today's movie fan , it's their problem if they miss out on watching classic movies, especially from the 1930s to the 1960s. Let's just say , in 1966 , was just about the time there were very few black and white movies made. The same time the tv networks went to full color.
Good to see them but a lot of them were prominent in their heyday. Frederic March, for example was nominated at least five times for Oscars. He won twice and could have received more nominations. There are so many actors who are not remembered for their past glory. Stars like Paul Muni, Basil Rathbone, Robert Donat, John Garfield and Gene Raymond.
Paul Robeson, Canada Lee, Juano Hernandez, Rex Ingram. Just mentioning Hattie D., who's a red flag bcuz she won an Best Supporting Oscar award don't cut it. How many of these other undervalued screen gems didn't win an Oscar, or be nominated? for
Agree with most of the choices...Fredric March in The Middle of the Night (59) is superb. Ive acquired a greater appreciation of his Later film work! Both Helen Twelevetrees and Nancy Carroll are both marvelous actresses who deserve to be better remembered. Kay Francis will always remain an Icon of Hollywood glamour and class. Where is Myrna Loy, whose name seems to be fading with the 21st century? She's much more than "Nora Charles" and the "Perfect Wife".

“How to Marry a Millionaire” was NOT William Powell’s last film role. That was his next film, “Mister Roberts.”
Beat me to it.
[Doc hits Pulver in the knee and nothing happens]
Ensign Pulver : What's the matter, Doc?
Doc : Nothing, but stay out of B-29s, Frank, my boy.
Claude Raines was magnificent. He always enhanced any film he was in.
I always thought Eve Arden made any vehicle she was in just a little better. Same with George Sanders and Lionel Barrymore.
Thelma Ritter was another actress who was so underated. if she was in a scene you couldn't ignore her.
You can sometimes tell if a film will be good just by who the supporting cast is,eve Arden,Thelma Ritter,frank McHugh,and Allen Jenkins to name a few❤
This video is looking at those who made their mark in early talkies. Thelma Ritter started in movies after WWII.
Absolutely agree! Thelma Ritter had a magnetic presence-she could steal any scene she was in. Truly one of the most underrated gems of the Golden Age.
William Powell’s last role was as Doc in Mr. Robert’s. Do your research and hire an actual narrator.
All the actors and actresses you are showing were wonderful and fantastic people, they will always be remembered as people who made the movies they were in even better.
I enjoyed this informative video. I believe Robert Young needed more recognition . So glad he gained widespread praise for his TV series: Father Knows Best - and later Marcus Welby, MD.
I knew most of these actors from my childhood, watching old movies on TV, but had forgotten many of them. It's good to see them remembered.
William Powell appeared in the film version of Mr. Roberts playing Doc. That was in 1955.
One of my absolute favorite movies.

Perhaps the charming and talented Sylvia Sidney could be added to the list.
I had to turn it right off the minute the AI "narrator" said "Bet Davis".
ABSOLUTELY. This is TRASH.
@@bobsanders9114 It seems I left at the right time. I've been reading more from viewers below about all those misteaks...er I mean mistakes!
I always loved Ned Sparks. Wonderful character actor. And funny voice
LILLI PALMER VIVECA LINDFORS ELEANOR PARKER ANNE BAXTER GENE TIERNEY
People who still watch a lot of films from the so-called "Gofden Age", such as viewers of TCM, are familiar with these actors.
Most of these are character actors who are notoriously underappreciated by audiences and by Hollywood to this day.
Incorrect coverage on actress Gladys Cooper, at first showing clips of Joan Fontaine. Same thing also with George Arliss, whose clips suddenly turned into Ronald Colman. This video needs better accuracy in pairing its script with its collection of clips.
Bette Davis' name is pronounced the same as "Betty". She's not a wager.
I grew up watching old movies as a child, still do and got my kids and grand-kids hooked on them🤩
Sal Mineo

Rains, Sanders, Andrews, Powell and March.They were movie stars who today have unfortunately been forgotten.
Some of us have definitely not forgotten them ❤

AI needs to learn how to pronounce names: Bette Davis is pronounced “Betty,” not “Bet” and Joel McRae is pronounced “McCray.”
And spelled McCrea
They were all great
Myrna Loy?
Film clips show actors/actresses who are not being discussed. Poor quality video....perhaps produced by AI.

Claude Rains was an outstanding performer, and I don't think he was underrated at all, every one knows he was a great actor .

That's not William Powell in his introduction,that's Enoch Powell!!!!
Noticed a few other errors with actors too. Bad editing!!
Joel McRae is pronounced MacRay.
Don't you love AI.
It's Joel McCrea
@@LFire12Thank you for your spell check. I am more concerned with AI pronunciation of the man's name. Perhaps AI won't replace human beings after all!
It would help if you actually pronounced the names correctly
Please stop the machine generated narration. It's irritating.
Can't leave this page without mentioning Strother Martin. If you needed an actor to play a "different kind of Character", Strother was the man.
Here's the problem. Your written dialogue is good but you use so many images that are Not of the actor you are talking about that it's disgraceful. Can't you do better? I could never thumbs up or subscribe to something that makes this many errors.
Jane Powell
Claude Rains' acting was overshadowed by his bad toupee.

Making these videos without bothering to even find out how their names were pronounced just shows lack of commitment to your project.

Your talking about some actors that were very very popular of the golden age!!
Juano Hernandez in Young Man With A Horn. Richard Lue in anything that he did.
Pictures of actors were not who he was talking about.
The pronunciation of some of these actors is laughable and not a good way to remember anyone.
That is Joan Fontaine in Rebecca

Ray Danton
Seriously, get a good editor. The clips shown don’t reflect the actor referenced. It’s sloppy.
Two comedians were under utilized, Joan Davis and Judy Canova. Very funny people!
Charles Coburn ?
I love the subject matter but the AI commentary is terrible
It's pronounced MACRAY
