A SUMMER PLACE is an excellent film. I can't imagine it without Troy playing JOHNNY and Sandra Dee as molly.

Was he gorgeous!!!
Why does this video have to be SO NEGATIVE~~~ Troy Donahue made people happy with his glamour and his acting!
Remember Troy well.. I Didn’t know the hard times that he experienced in his life as he gotten older.
I've followed Troy Donohue's career, from its beginning in the late 1950's! After seeing him in t.v.'s,
"Surfside Six" & "Hawaiian Eye", plus his starring western movie role in 1964's, "A Distant Trumpet",
I thought that I was looking at a new "Superstar"! However, Donahue worked for Warner Bros. studios,
who were renowned for paying their actors low salaries, plus his addictions led to a lifestyle, that he
couldn't continue to afford! It was a sad ending to a potential career that could have led to a great future!
Loved those 2 programs.
@@catherinec.briggs613 I used to work across from ABC Studios NYC Hdqts.
in the late 1960's & saw various actors, including Lee Patterson, co-star
to Troy on "Surfside Six"! When I told my girlfriend (now wife) about this,
she was so disappointed that it wasn't Troy Donahue!/ In 1963, I actually
was onboard the houseboat, used in the show's start, in Miami Beach!
That must have been awesome. Tks for sharing.
TIME IS OUR ENEMY....😭😭😭😭
Age can be!😐
Guapísimo for ever
My favourite movie with Troy Donahue was Susan Slade with Connie Stevens❤️🙏🦋💛💙
I love Susan Slade!
'A Summer Place' I shall never forget, the BEST EVER muscian Percy Faith & his orchestra' - sensational - good old Troy!!!
R.I.P
He was cute🥰 I would have been here as in born, still know his face
Liked him God be with you n family.
I grew up on movies from Troy Donahue, my ultimate favorite.
Such a classy era! He really was stunning to look at !
Troy Donahue was so nice looking and so was Tab Hunter
Fue tan atractivo TROY donawue que triunfo como galán con bellas actrices . Con SANDRA DEE..
He was one of Henry Willson's boys. At least he got to use his real name in the Godfather
2 (?) Movie.. Yes he looked like a handsome beach boy.
In the commentary part of godfather 2, the director, Francis Ford Coppola, said he and Troy went to military school together.
@@dalehood1846 did he like men or was that Tab Hunter? So many had to hide their true nature, then. Rock Hudson.
This was a good biography with lots of good stills of him but sure would have been nice to see and hear a couple movie clips!
RIP
SO sad.
I would put him more into the same category equal to Warren Beatty, a very roamnatic and magnetic personality. To bad that his life went the direction he went because he was very good as a pleasant, noble and sincere person as an actor
He was most😅😅
popular in tne 50s and early 60s. His name and face kept coming up on tv. His youth and good looks are what sold him just Tab Hunter and Ty Hardin. When you got physical beauty and great eye appeal that will sometimes get you just as far as real talent and brains. The problem with it though it soon fizzles out as calendar pages keep turning. But you shine bright when you are in your prime!
Addiction is a terrible thing it takes a toll on mind body and spirit
What a pity...to be a young full of health and finally he can t to be playings film as an older actor...cause others actor do that...they are very profesional and plays in pictures until they are very old and still they finished when they die....And Toy always seem in films as a very good teens...he was the teen hero and nowadays cool actors are very bad young ......😅😅😅❤❤❤
He never had chiseled features and your old man pictures are fake and he continued to act until the end of his life!
Signed a long term contract for a year. I can see that being a problem.

Was this written by a second grader? And narrated by a robot?
Con subtitulos, por favor.
Oh yes..A Distant Trumpet where in the movie two women, who would,in later lives, become his wives, were rivals over him..Dianne McBain and Susan Pleshette..
😪👵🇦🇺🇺🇸
He wasn't a good actor but certainly very attractive!
I agree
I can’t agree.He dad a puffy face,and cold eyes.
I get him confused with Tab Hunter and Ty Hardin.
Tab Hunter was in "Ride The Wild Surf" with Fabian and Barbara Eden. That's a great movie, very hard to find.
I'm never gonna look that old I'm way better looking and a way better actor but when I'm 70.ill still look 30s. I'd school him in any acting.
Good looking guy. Couldn't act, though.
At 0:36 and 1:36 he sure reminds me of a younger Trump …Troy looked better, though ! America loves the Blonde ! ( …and he was married once to Suzanne Pleshette ).
YoungerTrump?! No, he was never fat and ordinary like the king grifterTrump.
In the early 1960's, Hollywood was looking for a replacement for their current
"Blonde" superstar, then Alan Ladd & I believe they considered Troy for the role!
However, they chose another actor, the same age, but more versatile, Robert Redford!
He was gay & the stress of hiding it caused his early demise!
He sounds like a not very nice partner,and husband.
You need to learn how to pronounce Coppola.
Worst actor of ANY generation. So bad it hurt...
We're all Sinners Jesus said we're all Sinners were his enemies if we don't accept Christ as our Lord and savior he died on the cross and rose from the dead if you never accept Christ you can't accept him today come to the fellowship today Jesus with no wise cast out he died on the cross he knows who you are he died for the whole entire universe if you accept Christ and ask him to forgive your skin he will forgive forgive describe the only one that can break the condemnation off your life if you accept me as your lord and savior tell him to come into your heart and he will forgive you
Well, I don't know what the hell my skin did that it needs forgiving.
@@Sicilia928 it's not true it's not your skin color has nothing to do with your skin color it's that were born Sinners were Sinners and I've been looking around and I've been seeing everyone dying people are dying around the world because they have no relationship with Christ it's that were Sinners and will die in our sin if we don't accept Christ as nothing to do with your skin nothing to do with your skin is that we are sinners and Christ can't protect you if you're not his kids you don't belong to him that's why the Bible said we need to be born again Jesus is calling for Sinners to repentance we need to be born again of water and spirit and accept Christ as your lord and savior that's what I'm talkin about
