- Linda Christian discusses her life and career, including her marriages to Tyrone Power and Edmund Purdom, and her early relationship with Errol Flynn, in this 1993 interview with cable TV host Skip E Lowe.
I met her in person in the early 2000s at her home in Palm Springs, CA. Linda is a big personality and amazing lady!
What a lovely lady. Too bad he wouldn’t let her elaborate on anything. She’s had such an interesting life.
He just doesn’t let her finish any of her sentence!
Man , you are pain in ...
He's not listening. He keeps interrupting her. Why is she doing this show.? I would've walked out. He makes the show about him. Not faire.
Always. Ruins interviews.
Jesus, let her talk!!
He is so creepy & does not listen 👂 very rude .
Linda was very beautiful!!! She is very polite!!! Tyrone Power was very handsome!!!but died ... Young!!!!She is very interesting!!!
heart attack was in tyrone's family .. his father died of heart attack when tyrone was 17 ... i love the charming tyrone ...
Attractive Lady
Linda Christian was a beautiful and classy woman. Love her voice.
Great voice
So many wonderful recollections. Linda Christian was so generous with a rather smarmy Skip E Lowe. She was such a star!
The interviewer doesn’t listen to his guest. He asks insipid questions. He keeps saying Linda Christen in every question as if he is so important that he might forget who he is talking to. Happy moments happy moments. What a waste of time.
Una bellissima signora, assomiglia alle sue meravigliose figlie, lo stesso glamour e charme. Grande famiglia Power.
Romina assomiglia molto di piu a Tyrone. Power
Anche il cervello
Linda Christian è assai più bella di Romina Power, non aveva niente da invidiare a Lana Turner Kim Novak Joan Fontaine ecc. basta guardare i filmati di quando era giovane.
@@e.g.8454 Romina,,,come ,il. Padre ,uguale, ,
Linda Christian beautiful voice.
She knew Errol Flynn way more than she is telling
No doubt about that!😉
But unlike someone like Mamie Van Doren who would have given him every graphic detail of their trysts, Linda was a lady.
Maggie May Flynn tells a story that Linda had a gap at the side of her teeth and she needed a tooth replaced when he met her and he sent her to his dentist in London and he got a bill for thousands and his dentist told him she had all her teeth done - I guess filled - and years after when he saw her, he said to her when she avoided speaking to him, " Smile honey. I just want to see those choppers. They took their first bite outta me. "
She married Power; but said in her autobiography that Errol Flynn looks was her ideal looking man....
@tomscalzo1282 Flynn and Ty were both Hollywood's most beautiful men.....and she was involved with both.
The interviewer is full of himself! When he asks a question, he won’t let the guest speak. And to keep calling the guest by their full name every time he speaks is ridiculous!
supposedly in talking to my aunt the interviwer haS AN FATAL ATTRACTION TO THE LATE GREAT TYRONE POWER AS MY AUNT USED TO WORK IN THE JOURNALISM INDUSTRY AND HAS MET HIM AND SAID AT A FUCNTION SKIPS BOYFROEND WAS SO ANNOYED HE GOT UP AND LEFT KEPT CUTTING HIS OWN PARTNER OFF HE FINALLY HAD ENOUGH AT BTHIS WAS AT A CELEBRITY FUCNCTION I KNOW CAN SEE WHY HE WONT LET A PERSON TALK AT ALL
@@alexhaggerty39 What? Please use punctuation and correct grammar next time. It's had to make heads or tails of your comment.

Shut up.
He is so obnoxious. I don't understand why people like this even grant him an interview.
In 2013, I was sitting at a computer at the Library when an elderly woman sat at the pc next to me. She asked me if I like classic movies and I said that I love them. She told me that she has interviewed legendary actors in Hollywood. She then introduced herself as Skip E. Lowe. I say 'she' out of respect because she was wearing make-up and women's clothing. I recognized the name, but had never seen these interviews. They are amazing! RIP Skip 🙏🖖
omg
Nooo. ...cross dresser omg.
Linda had previously written in the 40s that Lana Turner had mistreated her on set. Lana heard about it, shocked, because she had never done such a thing. Lana sat down with Tyrone Power, who had been the love of her life and said “is there another women.” Tyrone simply said “yes.” That woman was Linda Christian. Linda had done whatever possible to take away from Lana’s happiness. I’m shocked that the previous comments are so oblivious.
This is how I understood it:
Lana planned a going away party for Tyrone as he was contracted to film overseas. She spent a fortune ($50K) and went all out on the party and decorations. She flew in tropical orchids and expensive elaborate decor. She was setting the scene...as she knew he was going to propose to her that night before hi left-they had been so happy, inseparable. During the party, Tyrone just disappeared (Lana would not see him again that night).
This is the same period of time Linda speaks of calling Tyrone's hotel room in Rome for the autograph (her very words here in the video, it was an explosion of love at first sight). Tyrone immediately proposed to Linda (just as she said here) Lana would learn when the headlines came out that Linda Christian was to be his wife and that is how Lana learned of Linda. ~ well at least that is how I understood it from Lana's story. Wonder which is correct?
B. Walker Linda cheated on Tyrone on set of “Athena” 1954 according to Debbie Reynolds autobiography.
@@chingchowder4596 Whole lotta cheatin' goin' on in Hollywood. Judy Garland really wanted to marry Artie Shaw, but "bingo", next thing Judy knew was that Lana had just eloped with him. "Musical chairs" for sooo many "beautiful people" in a small town.
@@b.walker5955 Tyrone was never going to marry Lana. She was beautiful but he wasn't in love with her. She put on that party with the HOPE that he would propose (he didn't even want that party) and he split. A man doesn't disappear if he's interested.
What an elegant interestingly lady.
Thank you for posting.
Pdjohnners ........... I ssoooooooo agree
Thanks for a great interview. Linda comes up really good as an intelligent, warm & interesting woman. I like Skip on this one..sharp with empathy..

Love hearing interviews with or about the Hollywood greats that are all gone now.
Linda Christian, the original Bond woman, the most beautiful of the Bond women. Even in her old age, she is beautiful. The way she speaks,
the slightest movement in her face, and her obvious intelligence and classiness. So, of course the handsomest actor in Hollywood proposes immediately, who can blame him? Is there such a thing as the ultimate woman? If so, it would be Linda Christian.
Got that right !
A truly beautiful woman. I now know where Romina, who is stunning, got it from.
But Romina is actually identical to her father.
@@cobrakaier238 OHHH, both of her parents were very genetically blessed.
@@charliebarrow7086 true but she looks mostly like her dad. She has the same eyes. Her daughter Ylenia looked more like Linda and Taryn.
She told the wife beater, "no". I admire her strength.
Beautiful then and now
Красивая семья ,Все женщины красивые и обаятельные .
She seems very classy and intelligent. Gorgeous looks are fleeting.
Skip is a real life Jeremy Glick.
Jiminy Glick
Yeah, I was thinking that, too. 😄
Ella es nacida en México es muy linda y sus hijas presiosas

Errol Flynn discovered Linda Christian, and assisted her in Hollywood. He had an influence in the start of her success.
He was not crazy. He was adventurous. This interviewer is obnoxious.
Too bad Errol wasn't around to punch this guy out.
Yes, according to history, Errol Flynn discovered Linda Christian, which was her artistic name. She was born and raised in Mexico. Her sister Ariadna Welter was also a mexican actress. Is sad that a lot of famous people denied their own country, in this case saying she was only about a "year and a half in Mexico"

That interviewer is so unbelievably annoying and creepy...
Because he’s gay, he’s creepy? You homophobic fuck.
@@BLTKellys I would say "can you believe the sh*t that people say." But in 2021, cruelty is the new thing. I try to ignore the homophobic comments. Their ignorance is not my problem.
Be safe! 🖖✌🙏
BethLousie, I'm not one to judge anyone, so I'll just suggest that you think before you write a comment. What you said sounds cruel and homophobic. It's very easy to give people the wrong opinion based on text. Maybe your comment was based solely on his looks, but people who read it don't know what the meaning is behind the post. FYI.
P.S. I met Skip in 2013. He was a very kind person.
Una pena que no esté la posibilidad de colocarle los subtítulos en el idioma de cada uno. De todas maneras lo que sí me quedó muy clarito lo idéntica que es a su abuela Romina Jr y Romina Power es muy parecida a su papá pero la verdad es que le encontré desde lo dulce de la voz y la tonalidad hasta casi toda la gestualidad idéntica a la de su mamá. Todas una belleza!!
Yes its is ❤❤❤

He's an AWFUL interviewer. Putting words in his guests' mouth and swerving the dialogue his way -- not letting it go the guest's way. I couldn't get past 5 mins. He turned me off completely.
It's maddening! Tyrone Power didn't "die of the drink!"
I wonder if the character Jiminy Glick is based on this interviewer. I can hardly watch this interview because i can't unsee Jiminy.
Per me Romina junior somiglia tantissimo alla nonna Linda
Romina tanto a Tyrone. Power
gli stessi occhi
Very down to earth person Linda chistian
Tonight I just watched the Alfred Hitchcock program that Linda did in 1963, "An Out For Oscar". Though she plays a real "stinker" in this episode, I could not take my eyes off of her. Can't remember when I've seen someone so gorgeous. Wish it was in color. Never saw her in a film yet, but I will. Quite a life she had.
Muy sencilla la madre de Romina como ella ,,,que elegante y sencilla ,,orgullosa Romina de tener esta preciosidad de madre ,,,,❤❤❤❤
Seria excelente que se tradujera la entrevista, no la pude disfrutar. 🤔
very well educated speak several languages and classy beautiful.. !
An alluring woman in the classic sense. This "type" is no longer in film. I feel sorry for today's young men not having known such women...
What an interesting accent. She must be a great actress, when I hear her perfect English sounding delivery in Casino Royale(1954)
She has a georgieus daughter Romina Power! God bless her and her missed daughter Ylenia!
I would add that she has a lovely laugh.
Not only did she steal Tyrone from Lana, but Linda cheated on Tyrone on set of “Athena” 1954 according to Debbie Reynolds’ autobiography & Lana Turner, herself
Looks like that old mans head is floating in the dark background !

...Linda was a beautiful, accomplished woman.
I want to put my hands on this interviewer.
Me too I was soo pissed 😤
Her true claim to fame is that she married Tyrone Power. She may have been talented but who knew.
I knew, so did millions of others.
Linda had "other" talents. Read James Bacon's two books of his accounts of being a reporter in Hollywood for 50 years, even though he may have embellished his tales (he was an Irishman after all). Still, a strong element of truth.
Never heard of Linda. This interviewer is awful creepy wish he would shut up .
What terrible thing to say !! And not true !!
Alan serías tan amables en subtitular al español. Gracias y buen día.
Linda was a beautiful person ..but the interviewer got on my nerves. Interrupting her all the time ..
l ended up shouting at him to shut up ..
Dear God, Alan Eichler repeated her name so many times that if I were her, I would have stopped the interview. She is not a vain person that needed to hear her name constantly. It was hard to watch this. Linda is a beautiful lady and a beautiful, humble person.
This interviewer is not Alan Eichler.Alan Eichler is the guy who runs this channel.
Linda was a beautyful and gente woma n, at 63 year old
This guy was more interested in his questions than her responses.. he needed a good wack
So, this is "Jiminey Glick"? Interesting interview! I wished that he'd let her answer more questions! 🙄
According to history, she was born and raised in Mexico, which is where Errol Flynn discovered her. Also, her sister Ariadna Welter was a movie actress in mexican cinema. It seems that she denied being mexican. Can't watch any more of this video. It is annoying to me the way he interrupts, and she (RIP) saying she only "spent a year and a half in Mexico" so wasn't in Mexico where Errol Flynn discovered her? I'm so proud of Salma Hayek, not ever forgetting where she came from.
A very pretty girl, but she never made it as a big star. Today, about the only thing she is remembered for, is that once she was married to Tyrone Power. Ah well, fame is fleeting.

Romina es más bella que su madre pero tiene gestos de su mama
Romina tiene una belleza diferente, tiene gestos de su mamá, algo de la boca (dentadura) pero tiene la belleza de su papá, lo que sí me parecía estar viendo la réplica em Romina Jr. Es idéntica a su abuela materna diría casi en su totalidad, gestos, todo. Bella familia Power Christian!!
Bellissima signora 🌹🌹🌹🌹❤️❤️❤️
Hermana de Aridna Walter😘 hermosas las dos💖
Welter
at first i thought this was a scene from a seance with a floating head of an old woman
Lis hijos de Romina se parecen a ella y su familia ❤
I like Linda, I don't like him, he's painful to watch
Yikes
The story Lana told (if you want to believe it), is the following: Lana was in love with Tyrone, he impregnated her, she told him and he left it up to her if she wanted to keep it. He had to leave town and they had a code that if she had an abortion she would say "I found the house" this would be as he was flying with Ceasar Romero and one other guy I cannot remember. If she had the abortion she would say "I did not find the house" . Well, Lana did have the abortion and she contacted him to tell him that. Lana said the studio was trying to keep them apart and had pushed Power into marrying Christian!!! Lana said she asked him what was wrong was there someone else, she had yet to learn of Linda Christian, he said yes! So you can draw two conclusions from Lana's account which she told on Phil Donahue 1984 either Power aS a snooze and let the studio dictate his life to him or he was a louse and never cared two boots for Lana or his baby.......
I knew Tyrone was involved with Judy Garland, and she aborted his baby, or so the celebrity gossip goes. I never knew about Lana. Artie Shaw broke her heart too. I read Lana aborted Mickey Romney's kid as well.
You have to wonder, if fate had been different, if she and Tyrone had married, would they have been happy.
This is the first Mexican Bond girl, not Stephanie Sigman!!!!
Linda Christian had mexican mother and Dutch father so she was half Mexican half Dutch
Gerard Selling She was born in Mexico, So she was mexican
VIVA MEXICO!
Gerard Selling ... But she was born and raised in México, so she was mexican, she is the sister of the mexican actress Ariadne Welter.
Gerard Selling, when some is black, they’re still considered black. Why is it that when someone is Mexican, she’s only half Mexican? Genuine question.
I like the closeups on both the host Skip, and his guest, Linda Christian. Other talk shows seem to prefer shooting their camera up the short skirts of women being interviewed. His style is a bit hyper but still respectful as although he inquires into the personal he doesn't push his guests too hard to reveal more than they are comfortable speaking about. He definitely interrupts the guest more frequently than do other hosts to ask another question but nevertheless his guests seem okay with his style and at ease to be conversational despite his rapid back and forth. Maybe too it works so well because mostly the stars Skip interviewed became famous during the Hollywood of the 40's, 50's and 60's and so were rarely still asked to be interviewed on other talk shows. They enjoyed reminiscing with Skip because he remembered and appreciated them and those eras of Hollywood.
You hit the nail on the head. Skip E's shows were public access. No one got paid and they actually cost him money. Everyone who ever appeared on his show was there because they wanted to be and that's why his show lasted for 35 years.
I’d like to have him ask her about millemiglia 1957 with de portego. That must have been terrible for her.

What a fabulous woman. What a lousy interviewer.
My dads from tampico!
She did three films before "Tarzan and the Mermaid".
It would be ungracious to recall Linda Christian's reputation in Hollywood after WW2. 'Anything in pants' about sums it up.
As I said in an earlier post, James Bacon told the tales.
She was known as the French say....the great horizontal.......wonder why ???

Pretty good. Linda was gracious, but Skip. Let your interviewees elaborate. We do want to hear more, but thanks for the interview of her, Linda, anyway.
Esta es la madre de Romina es preciosa se murio con 87 años de cancer de. colon y estuvo Romina cuidandola despues se murio. La hermana de Romina de Leucemia en el 2020 era mas joven que Romina .cuanto lleva sufrido Romina .pobre ahora se merece ser feiiz ..pero con la Lechizo cruzada ...buen lio tiene Albano
she also was in GREEN DOLPHIN STREET 1947,with lana turner as her exotic maid.
👍
Linda also claimed lana mistreated her on set. Linda eavesdropped on lana’s conversation and purposely “stole” the love of lana’s life away from her. Bye love.
Really? 😳
Is the host a man or woman?
He did NOT love her!! LOL Here he is in a deep relationship with Lana Turner, flies overseas and within 2 weeks of meeting this one here asks her to marry him??? How many of you women out there are numb nuts to marry a man after 2 weeks and knowing his notorious cheating scheme. And besides, he CHEATED on Linda many times. She was a star struck woman who was sooooo flabbergasted that SHE was the one who GOT HIM. I am NOT impressed. she is just a narc like very other woman in the movies. She is acting here like they had such a BEAUTIFUL marriage - and that is a total LOAD of crap!!!!!!!!!!
There is a piece floating around on RUclips about Tyrone Powers and Lana Turner. So, he dumps her and marries Christian.
Ghastly interview for obvious reasons. How did this guy keep this job?
I see where Martin Short got his schtick.
Camera and Mic is on him. He won't let her finish her sentences...so annoying.
If makes me sad they made her change her name to Linda Christian 🙄 To appease the white audience at the time...because she was actually a Mexican whose Real name is Blanca Rosa Welter....her real name sounded better.
Did not she says her father was Dutch -???she lived around the world , because of her father’s job-her father was white -then it is up to her to chose -which side she wants to be .If she wants to be on side of the whites -it is up to her -not anybodies else .Tyrone Power was looking like from south of Europe -but he was Irish . If you born in a stable -will this mean you are a cow ??? -How many blacks are born in Germany ???-and called themselves -Germans ,because of the place they were born - But they really are Germans by their DNA ??-they are not ----

We can put DNA on side -who cares ???
@@janinahendrych9065 Christian was born in Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico, a daughter of Dutch engineer and Royal Dutch Shell executive Gerardus Jacob Welter (1904-1981), and his Mexican-born wife, the former Blanca Rosa Vorhauer (1901-1992), who was of Spanish, German and French descent.
The Welter family moved a great deal during Christian's youth, living everywhere from South America and Europe to the Middle East and Africa.
As a result of this nomadic lifestyle, Christian became an accomplished polyglot with the ability to speak fluent French, German, Dutch, Spanish, English, Italian and even a bit of haphazard Arabic and Russian.
Christian had three younger siblings, a sister, actress Ariadna Gloria Welter (1930-1998), and two brothers, Gerardus Jacob Welter (born 1924) and Edward Albert Welter (born 1932).
@@janinahendrych9065 I'm Mexican with some German in me as well.
But we are Mexican through and through and celebrate out heritage and grow up with our Mexican customs and learn Spanish....and learn to cook our traditional foods.
We learn our Mexican culture.
She was more familiar with her Mothers side...taught Spanish and learn the Mexican culture as child...learned everything Mexican.
My grandmother and grandfather and great grandparents were born and raised in mexico....my mom and and dad were born and raised in America...so I was raised Mexican American...but we still keep our Mexican culture and traditions with us..we still cook our cultural foods and dishes every year and we still speak Spanish...We are called Chicanos/Hispanics.
