She was always one of my favorite actresses. As a pilot for a commuter airline a number of years ago, I had her as a passenger on one of my flights to Hyannis, on Cape Cod. At the end of the flight, she came up to the cockpit, thanked us and handed me a rose. I will never forget her gracious gesture. A truly kind and beautiful woman.
As an adolescent in the 60’s, I had a major crush on Lee Remick. I’m now 65, and to this day carry a torch for her. She was so beautiful ❤️
Me too!., I was totally smitten by her...I guess I still am..😢💔
@@michaelratliff905 I've got the same problem with Vera Miles ( and Lee a close second )
I met this wonderful lady while she was filming in Fort Irwin, CA in 1978. I was a young MP from Massachusetts and volunteered to be an extra in this movie. Lee was a very charming, pleasant and very pretty lady with green eyes and a great smile. I spoke with her a few times at length and remember how caring and polite she was. She spoke of her father and the business back in Mass. and how she missed it at times. I was very lucky to have crossed paths with her,...God Rest her soul,............
Cool! I also was once a young MP from MA. Nice story!!

One of the most talented and sensitive actresses in the american movies. Lee Remick gave us wonderful performances but those who saw in "Days of wine and roses" can't forget her.
I will always remember her in The Days of Wine and Roses. It took me a month to come out of depression after watching that movie. God Bless her, what a beautiful lady.
I met this beautiful woman at a photographers studio in the early 80s. She was wearing little or no makeup ...her face freckled . She was unassuming. Very low key . We talked a bit while we waited for the photographer to leave the set. She asked me what we were doing. I told her we were shooting a fashion catalog and she seemed very interested and asked me a few questions about how we did it and for whom we we were doing the photography. I did not acknowledge that I knew her cause I wanted it to be a normal situation. I have always thought she was a brilliant actress but from that day I admired her even more for who she was as a person.
She had far above average beauty. That, coupled with her smarts and good work ethic, is what truly made her a star. IMHO.
Wonderful tribute to Lee Remick!! And your warm and personal narration is very good!
An excellent production by Mr. Skinner. Tastefully and intelligently done showcasing the life and career of the beautiful and talented Lee Remick.
Mr. SKINNER, You have done such a magnificent narration of many famous people. You have taken us through the years of these people with dignity and grace. Thank you, Mr. Skinner.
Lee Remick was a great actress. For some reason, her acting never received anywhere near the recognition that she deserved. Her acting was subtle, nuanced, honest, realm and interesting, something rare now days. Her acting in Days of Wine and Roses was, and still is, some of the best acting of all time, male or female. And the prettiest actress of them all. Her face had character, and not just a bland frozen mannequin.
One of my favorite actresses. RIP.
Beauty like Lee’s is timeless. She would be considered just as beautiful if she were a young star now. And I don’t mean beauty in the model sense, but in the combined sense of form and substance. I have a feeling that she was just as beautiful on the inside as out.
A thing of beauty is a joy forever

Great bio. I had forgotten how lovely she was. Thanks for reminding us.
I grew up watching her on t.v. and in the movies. She had the most beautiful eyes and smile, and such a presence on screen. Even as a little boy I would just be in awe of her talent and beauty. May she R.I.P.
A real hard working actress that took her work serious,..not like these young clowns today..
Amen to that....natural Beauty
Blimey ! Another top notch video, Marvelous Mr Skinner ! The beautiful and talented Ms Remick was one of my favorite actresses. A terrible shame that she left us so soon. Bless her heart. And bless you too, Mr S, for your entertaining & informative videos !!
Very beautiful lady--such natural beauty.
Lee had that rare kind of beauty, that radiates confidence and sexiness too, but always in a subtle, classy way...I guess I should not judge her for leaving the father of her children, but I was kinda shocked to find that out about her...she seemed so grounded and happy at the time...but I guess the English dude and her both were unhappy concerning their marriages...so they fell for each other.
Really well done Mr. Skinner. Your presentation is a beautiful tribute to a much-loved actress. Thoughtfully presented, emotionally riveting.
I was a teenager in the 60's and had a big crush on Lee Remick. I saw her as one of the most beautiful women in the world. My view of her was heavily influenced by her beautiful authentic open honest personality, and I will always hold her in that high regard.
I worked at her father's department store for about six years, the visits from Lee Remick were always special days. Lee Remick was jaw-dropping beautiful and always so friendly and approachable. her father was the same, working for him was an experience that I carried with me for my entire working life. The store and the atmosphere created there was a direct reflection of the Remick Name. Remick's of Quincy, Unique for the times.
My nickname is Lee, and yes, I always liked her! "Days of Wine and Roses" is one of my favorite films ever!
I had a job up in Vermont and some of the locals told me that Lee shot a film up there and in her spare time she would join a local sewing clutch where they made quilts for the shut in elderly. They described Lee as a normal, everyday regular person.
I always remember her eyes- they were so translucently beautiful it looked like they could stare into your soul.
She was brilliant in Days of wine and roses, she deserved an Oscar.
land It's a scandal she didn't get it for that performance in the same league as The Three Faces of Eve.
i know im randomly asking but does someone know of a way to get back into an Instagram account..?
I somehow forgot my login password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me
Thank you Jerry, that was a wonderful Bio and was very educational about Lee Remick.
A stunning beauty and great actress who passed away far too young. . By all accounts she was as well a kind and wonderful woman with a golden smile. R.I.P. dear lady.
I met her in the mid 1980s in New York on 3rd Avenue right at Bloomingdale's ,, , I approached her , told her how fond I have been of her acting, She was extremely nice and friendly .. asked e if I would like to walk with her and do some window shopping,, which I did, ,, this sweet hour has stayed with me and will for ever
Hayedeh Daftari WOW! Priceless opportunity!
Hayedeh , what a awesome thing to happen in your life , right place at the right time , your memory may have stuck with her the same you know .
Hayedeh Draftari..my husband work for a g.e company several years back. one of his friends that was right next to him got a phone call from Lauren Bacall regarding her dishwasher..that is as close as I have gotten to a starlett you are one lucky lady.
. t/%yt? v:'/.,
She was a lovely woman to look at , and a nice human being.
Lee Remick was quite lovely!
Beautifully narrated. Thank you for this story Jerry.
I've always considered Lee Remick to be the prettiest actress in Hollywood
She "is" a doll !
She is certainly up there, just so pretty.
A truly beautiful narration of a truly lovely lady. Jerry, from across the pond, I say a big fat thank you for your eulogy. Very well done sir.
What a beautiful tribute to one of my favorite actresses. She was kind, classy and very talented!
Rest in peace beautiful lady.
There wa a time when Lee Remick was on just about every movie and television show being aired at the time. She was extremely prolific.
Her death was way, way, way too soon. And we lost a brilliant and versatile Actress.
I hadn't heard or thought of Lee Remick for years - and was genuinely surprised that she died so many years ago! But what a beautiful tribute to a wonderful actress and, from what I gleaned from the narrator, a wonderful person as well.
Beautiful lady. That song at the end made me cry. Jerry again a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing
Thank you Susan. Jerry
Lana Turner had this glitzy designer that she insisted make ALL her clothes and thus lost the choice role in Anatomy of a Murder. Thank God we got Lee! She was MESMERIZING. My parents saw her on Broadway in 'Wait Until Dark' and she was SPECTACULAR.
Thank you, Jerry Skinner. What a lovely tribute.
Thanks, Jerry. That was a tough one. Cancer sucks!
All of these biographies are done so well. Thank you.
Thank you for this. I came across it by chance. I always thought Lee Remick was special. Not just for her beauty but for the person she was. I remember feeling sad when I read of her passing back when. It's touching to see and remember her again.
Thank you for such an eloquent and tasteful perspective on Lee Remick! She was such an underrated actor and had such grace and beauty...she always reminded me of Grace Kelly. Her brave battle with cancer was dealt with such dignity!
History LVr She wasn't underrated. She was a big star, very popular, adored ( I don't know where you get your information from )
@@ThePiratemachine She was certainly a star in her own right and I was a fan, still am! What I meant by underrated, is that she wasn't a diva or needed to be adored by her public. She was a fine actor and very genuine and professional! Wasn't meant to be detrimental in any sense...quite the contrary!
What a shame, beautiful young woman like her. I can think of quite a few dozen vile people who deserve to go like that, just not her. RIP Sweet Lady.
I have always admired Miss Lee. My mom was a dead ringer for this beautiful actress. I was a child and shocked when I mistook Miss Lee for my mom on tv!
She was beautiful. The Days of Wine and Roses is one of my favorite movies to this day. She and Mr Lemon truly played their roles to perfection.
Couldn't agree more. Great & powerful classic!
All I can offer are more kudos. (Altho I did not know she died at 55...how?)
I recall this film and as such I rarely if ever consume alcohol..so it goes for youth impact from a film..
Yeah. The quintessential American beauty. She was simply stunning in the Kazan movie, Wild River.
I agree with you 100%
Lee Remick a lovely and beautiful lady. Nearly all the stars I grew up with have all passed away. Those where days they made great movies with memorable actors we remember. Great video. Thank you Jerry.
I used to LOVE Lee Remick as a young man watching the movies and she has one of the great Actress names of ALL Times!! Beautiful, gorgeous and HOT, a true "20th Century Fox"! "Days of Wine and Roses" was great. But "Baby The Rain Must Fall" I remember the most because I saw it at the Sutphin theater in Jamaica Queens, NY amidst the thick cigarette smoke and they had the lights on - I watched it standing up.
Jerry Skinner's documentaries are the best! I have watched many of them and have enjoyed them all! Thank you, Jerry, for your work and for sharing your gift!
the days of wine and roses is one the best movies ever,and Lee Remick gives one of the most heart wrenching performances ever recorded on the screen
I agree ! That was a well made movie, almost too real. Redick and Lemon were so good together.
Lovely, lovely Lee was not only very pretty but was also a fine actress. She was definitely one of my favourites
Beautiful woman, great actor and something else - star power, maybe. Thanks for a great video.
Thanks for this summary of her life. Her beauty has haunted me for years.
A moving tribute to a completely unforgettable lady and actress. For me, she was one of the few who mesmerised the screen, as did for example Ingrid Bergman. How sad to die so young.
What a fine voice from the narrator! And what a great actress was Remick.
Very well done. I loved Lee Remick. She was one of Hollywood's Royalty. May she rest in peace...
She was always one of my favourite actresses and I thank you for this video Jerry, very nicely done.
Lee Remick, class act great actress..
Always a pleasure to hear from Mr. Skinner!
you have such a great voice,l enjoyed you talking about Lee Merrick.
Awesome work, Jerry! Even made me almost tear up at the end. EXCELLENT!
She had the most beautiful eyes!!
steinderbush Yes, her eyes were stunning.
She was a beautiful woman. Her eyes are soft and has a loving look in her eyes. The saying is your eyes are the mirror to your soul. Yes indeed she was a beautiful human being.
Everything about her sure hooked a teenage boy back in the 60s, ...Me...❤😢

@@micheletorimaru9348 Do not discount her physical charms!...She was hot.
I was very surprised to learn that Lee Remick was only 55 when she died, a year younger than I am now. Not young but far from old. Lee Remick seems to have been able to avoid the pinup girl phase some actresses, such as Marilyn Monroe, went through. Miss Remick had a distinctive classiness about her; someone once referred to her as "patrician" and I agree. You can tell she was made for excellent, serious acting work.
Very well done..Lee Remick was one of my very favorites..and so beautiful.
When we lose someone in our world, no matter how small a part they played, our world becomes a bit smaller. Thanks for this video Jerry.
Great post. She was beautiful.
I was born and raised in Quincy. The part when the narrator stated how she treated the people who worked at the department store and everyone else in Quincy was so true. I personally never met her, but her reputation was of the finest order.
I loved Lee and thought she was a wonderful actress loved her in the long hot summer she was such a tease died much to soon
Yes. A truly beautiful lady in every way. Randy helms
Thank you for making this video about Lee Remick. You did a very informative documentary of her lifetime. A beautiful & great actress she was.
Miss Remick was a very nice person, and I really liked her acting. she was a down to earth person who was not full of herself.
A stunningly beautiful woman and a brilliant actress too... But the one film that I will always remember her for....ls The Omen
Yes Omen great but Days of Wine and Roses her best work!!
Thank you Jerry!
Very interesting and moving Jerry. What I really like is how you relate all the aspects of people's lives in such a respectful manner. And of course your wonderful speaking voice.
Lee Remick..What a beautiful lady. She comes from Quincy, Massachusetts (I live the next town over). Many years ago Quincy had a shopping center. (before the malls). Her father owned a department store there called Remicks of Quincy, a lovely store. I never saw her but I was told that on occasions Lee would greet people and sign autographs there. She gave wonderful performances in the movies. Her movies were high quality (check them out.). So proud she was from our area.
So touching, I almost broke down. I had no idea she went so young.
What a beautiful, classy lady. She was a star on the inside and on the outside. I had not realized she was so young when she passed. I do know that Heaven has a beautiful Angel.
I REALLY LOVED LEE REMICK AND SUSAN HAYWARD AS A YOUNG BOY GROWING UP IN THE 6O'S THANK YOU MR. SKINNER FOR THEIR STORIES AND THE WAY YOU PRESENT THEM VERY PROFESSIONAL !!!!!
Ron Young Love your comment. I Want To Live and The Days of Wine and Roses - what a combination. And Jerry is great. With you.
The Lady was a real Touch of Class. I worked on a small TV programme with her, she was a real down to earth 'classy' lady. Miss Remick, RIP.
I always loved Lee Remick as an actress...what a lovely tribute from Mr. Skinner. Thank you kindly for the memories.
Lovely tribute. I grew up watching her movies. Thanks.
She was a beautiful woman!!!!
I love your work!! Thank you
I watched this to see if you'd mention Antomy of a Murder. That was filmed on location in Marquette county, in Michigan's upper peninsula. That scene still shot of the court room is infact Marquette county circuit Court room, which is still used to this day. All the other buildings used in the movie are still open for business, the lumber jack bar in Big Bay, the Big Bay hotel, mount Shasta bar where Duke Ellington's band played in the movie, even the house that was the lawyers house is still standing & being lived in. That's in Ishpeming, Michigan.
One of those beautiful women who, like Grace Kelly, became even more beautiful with age.
melancholiac (uuu
I aspire to age so beautifully🙏🏻
So many beautiful and talented actresses back then: Teresa Wright, Grace Kelly, Ingrid Bergman, Margaret Sullavan, Lee Remick, Elizabeth Taylor, Eva Marie Saint, Olivia de Havilland, Joan Fontaine, Jean Simmons, Vivian Leigh, Katherine And Audrey Hepburn. List goes on.
Don't forget about Liz Taylor
@@acdragonrider yes many quality actresses then...and my favorite- Sophia Loren ! See the film " Two Woman" for a simply amazing performance--- not to be matched.
Definitely one of Hollywood's most talented and beautiful ladies.
Such a lovely lady ...thank you for doing this...I knew she passed with cancer but did not know much about the end of her life. So sad to end that way....I saw "Days of Wine and Roses" as a teen with my father who was a heavy drinker and was I terrified of alcoholism forever afterwards. He died the same year he took me to see that movie.People used to tell me I looked alot like her in my 20's and 30's and I guess I did...same coloring and general size and facial features. I never knew whether my father TOOK me to see to see that movie as as a caution or not. Needless to say I have been very very careful of alcohol my entire life and have now lived to a fairly ripe old age myself and very happily too I might add. She meant alot in my life....
In the early 80's Ms. Remick came in a NYC store where I was working and I was astounded by the bluest eyes I have ever seen. Very beautiful charming woman
I really like the melancholy way the narrator tells the story. Its as if he knew her and is reminiscing.
Thank You very nicely done she was a great actress and a Beautiful Lady
This beautiful lady and actress died too young. I loved her acting and loved all of her movies. You are truly missed Lee Remick Rest In Peace ❤️❤️❤️😘😘😘
A beautiful lady I loved along with her work, like a lot of beautiful Hollywood ladies , captured on film forever to watch and adore! RIP Lee
Lee had that "special" quality that made her beautiful, inside and out. My favorite pictures were "Wild River," "The Days of Wine and Roses," and "The Omen." I think she was often underrated.

Tiffsaver: Oh, I don't think she was underrated. She was a big star when I was growing up. She sure had that special quality. Infectious.
@@ThePiratemachine
Perhaps not "underrated," but in the hierarchy of Hollywood stars, there is very little room at the top. How many Liz Taylor's and Julia Roberts were there in their day?? ONLY ONE.
Thank you. A very nice tribute to a remarkable and transcendental performer.
You didn't mention her film in England with Richard Burton, "Medusa Touch" I believe was the title.
I was reminded from your video that he was part of a long list of co-stars, the top actors of the time. Some names you did not mention but whom I recognised like Coleen Dewhurst an incomparable stage and screen actor as well as wife of George C. Scott ...... all the most brilliant actors of the day. She had truly an illustrious career for that time. I grew up watching her and was always enthralled. There was a magic about her. For those of us who saw that it was a wonderful experience.
The titles may be more or less unknown or forgotten today but at the time they were major works of note.
I grew up in the entertainment industry in New York and then Los Angeles. Although I never met Miss Remick I did know a number of the actors mentioned in this video that acted with her. She had a wonderful reputation. She was a kind and lovely woman. Always down to earth. I didn't know the story about Frank paying the hotel bill but I do know that he did such things for many people. My mother and he were friends during nearly 50 years until his death. I knew that if he read something in the newspaper about someone seriously in need or hardship he would have someone find out the details and provide money or whatever was needed. This of course was compensation for a very dark side of his personality but still it was more than most people ever did or do.
When I learned of Lee Remick's death I was stunned and very sad. Especially to think someone so lovely and good had suffered. We know that life is not fair but that doesn't make it any easier to accept.
A loss to her family but also to the world of film because she brought life and light to everything she did. Not only because she was beautiful but because she was authentic. In "Wine and Roses" she was not beautiful as the alcoholism took over but she was riveting and heartbreaking.
A very complete bio of Lee. Thank you so much Jerry for including Bill Colleran, the father of her children. He did love her so. I had the honor of working with Bill in the late 70's and early 80's. I got to meet his son once as he visited his dad at the studio we were doing a taping at. And after I knew Bill for a while he shared with me the story about that fateful night of the car accident ( a Thunderbird I think it was) leaving the Frank Sinatra party and how life had changed over the years for him. One summer's day I rebuilt the carburetor of his Buick as he was short on cash and I wanted to learn all about TV from him - seemed like a good trade! Thanks too for the great archival photos of Lee with Bill and their kids. I lost track of Bill when I left 'the biz' so thank you for telling that part of the story!
Thank you Jonathan, for telling us your personal story. It helps people to realize these are real humans living real human lives. Thank you again Jonathan. Jerry
Not mentioned is a thriller in 1962 that I have never forgotten. "Experiment in Terror" was very scary for the day. Stefanie Powers played her teen age sister and Ross Martin was the bad guy. Also starred Glenn Ford. Just mentioning it because she was so young, so pretty and played the part so well.
Why didn't you mention the 1980 movie she was in with Amy Irving, Richard Dreyfuss, and Sam Wannamaker called The Competition? I absolutely loved her in that part! Especially when she says to Sam Wannamaker: "Andrew! It costs extra to carve "schmuck" on a tombstone, but you would definitely be worth the expense!"
I drove Lee's Mother over a fortnight in 1981 when she came to London after the Death of her 2nd Husband although an elderly lady she was full of life & a beautiful person we went on a hunt round London for somthing she desperately wanted but couldn't find when she finaly told me what she was searching for I smiled& said tomorrow we will stop off at Dury Lane & I'll go in to Suttons Seeds & purchase the Basil seeds you require (Aperently her Gardener dug up her treasured basil plants?? But not being Native to Barbados she was unable to replace them ) a return wifth 3 packets of seeds from Suttons Seed Shop made her face light up with Joy & made her so happy a Lovely lady a pleasure to drive & left me with happy memories of a delightfull fortnight's work!!
Whether true or not she looked like a true lady on screen. Very aristocratic bearing.
Thank you Jerry for all your interesting biographies....looking forward to more of them!
She was so gorgeous!
I had no idea she had died, let alone at 55. I just figured she had retired from the "stage of life", as it were. She was marvelous.
I liked her...my favorite film was a little known film called sanctuary with Yves Montagne....
Very informative, moving work. Thank you, Jerry Skinner. I was one of those who dismissed Lee Remick as just another HollyWoodenDolly, like Lana Turner, until I saw her in the underrated Hard Contract. For me, it was her most authentic, convincing performance of a real, ambiguously-variable, surprising human being. I'm probably one of the few who also appreciated Steven Sondheim's "Anyone Can Whistle" and her performance in it.
