He so enriched our lives. What a tragic life he had at the end, losing his only child and his wife. I hope he is reunited with them, and rests in peace.
I adored that man, loved his movies and his faithfulness to his wife! No philanderer! Loved his sexy accent and always wondered what happened to him! Never knew his only son died! May all three rest in peace, he gave the world to the little girl that watched his films, me!
Thank you for such a nice tribute to the Boyers. The ending almost brought me to tears. Having said that, I was glad to hear that he had a lasting & Happy marriage, but sad because he felt that he could not go on without her. I hope they are at peace.
Sometimes I think I was born in the wrong generation. In my teens I was watching old black and white films while my friends were watching current blockbusters that had no depth. The first time I saw Charles Boyer was in the movie Gaslight with Ingrid Bergman. What talent and sophistication!
Thank you for a sad, but elegantly presented, biography of Charles Boyer. So much tragedy, I don't believe anyone deserved a happeir life than Mr. Boyer. I know that his happy marriage was interupting by tragedy for them both. he was so loved. It's sad that life was so tragic for him.
so sad. He was such a fine actor. I love watching him on the four star tv series of the fifties. Thank you for telling us more about his life. He must have been a wonderful husband ans father to resist all the temptations of stardom.
Thankyou Jerry for these great postings.The reason I watch your work is to learn about the actors.I'm not here for the way you speak or your grammer which there's nothing wrong with.As I say,i'm here for the info you provide. I didn't know Mr.Boyers sad life story,now I do.Keep up the great work Jerry.WE CAN"T ALL BE PERFECT LIKE SOME PEOPLE WHO ARE COMMENTING HERE!! LOL.
Jerry Skinner What I especially like about your work, Jerry, is that you treat the subject foremost in your presentation ….. not like the majority of others who are pompous and make themselves seem like the centre of attraction, pretending to be “experts”, and thinking they are more interesting than the subject. I am looking forward to seeing many more of your videos!
I consider myself very strong minded. However, if like Mr Boyer I lost my family then what is left? Nothing!!! There is only one downside to having children. You become vulnerable. Suddenly someone enters your world that you can't live without . My mum always liked this actor. Thank you Jerry
Yes you’re right about the children you can’t live without the moment they were born.... I always wonder how parents can endure the loss of a child and admire them for the strength they put into continuing living....I don’t ever want to be faced with this kind of unnatural tragedy. Nobody does of course...
Hi Jerry, thanks for posting this :) I liked Charles Boyer in the film Gaslight with Ingrid Bergman, Joseph Cotton & Angela Lansbury. He was such a good actor often not recognised for his great talent !
+dinomate01... gaslight was a great film and i believe Joseph Cotten to have been one of the most underrated actors in film history. i don't think he was ever even once nominated for any acting award....incredible.
Jerry, I'm a new subscriber and am enjoying catching up on your vids. I feel as though I've been transported back in time reliving talking to a slightly older man in my neighborhood years ago. He told stories of riding trains during the depression, WWII, and women he loved. We sat on his front porch and talked and laughed. It brings a smile to my face to remember those times. It is such a shame that today we are in such a hurry to get somewhere we miss so much. As to the negative comments about your narration? As we say in the south, "Never you mind." Let others run around like chickens with their heads cut off (horrible visual but apt). I, and many others, enjoy the time spent listening to oral histories on your front porch. Y'all come back now, hear?
A nice tribute to Charles Boyer, who had a tragic end to his life. I've now subscribed to your channel, but I am appalled by some of the comments I have read in regards to your commentary. Especially as you obviously do this as a passion and trying to spread information and knowledge through the medium of the internet. Although some of the information may be erroneous, it gives us an opportunity to learn about some people we may know nothing about and then decide to do our own personal research into these personalities. I'd also add that some of information about these people from other sources tend to be complete dross anyway. I'm from London, England and I both speak and write using very proper English. I can safely say that there is nothing wrong with your accent or your narration, I enjoy it very much and am understanding of the fact that different people emerge from different backgrounds; which no doubt distinguishes their diction and dialect.
Thank you Sir for your Wonderful videos, I'm 42 yrs old & I Loved All the Old Classics & the Very Talented Actors who played in them. God what has happened to movies & television these days, WHAT A DISAPPOINTMENT !!!! I am so Grateful for your channel here on RUclips. Thanks So Much, God Bless You & Yours !!!
sherry a Sherry thank you for watching. Movies now days dont have much of a story line. Just a lot of action that no one can believe. Thanks again, Jerry
charles boyer was in a lot of wonderful movies, but i especially liked him in that episode of "i love Lucy" when she hires him to trick her husband. he was equally great in "barefoot in the Park." he played "the bluebeard of 10th street." classic work.
What a most admirable man and actor is Charles Boyer. An obviously "good man" of intelligence and integrity............... A good wife ..............and a good family. How sad for the circumstances. It can happen to the best of us.His great work and worthiness will always be a life of it's own reflecting his unique identity! ........To know some of his work....please try to see him on "Four Star Playhouse" 1952-56.
This is one of the saddest ones I've seen of yours Jerry so far , too sad to watch any more , love your voice , so soothing , coming from Australia , cheers :)
@@reesedaniel5835 : The bible also says "the dead know nothing and that our death is just like that of an animal." Also, why do you take such stock and believe in a book that you have not even read? Why would a god leave a book to people in the MIddle East to relay his message to us anyway?
😢Que triste su historia familiar!! Gran actor y gran persona, por que nunca le dieron el Oscar!! Hay mu hos actores que lo recibieron sin merecerlo!! ☹️No es justo grande charles!!
I have heard worse some people I can't understand be glad you can understand him I'm from Kentucky consider myself southern go put somebody else down I come to listen if you don't like these shows don't listen and you have a nice day if you know how to be nice thanks jerry and I will in fact be listening
My favorite actor. Next to Marcello Mastroianni. When Pat Patterson was diagnosed with cancer, Charles and her doctor made the decision not to tell her so that she could live the last year of her life happy and let her die oblivious to the fact. The past is so crazy.
I've been watching a few of your Hollywood Suicide bits. I like your southern voice; somehow it adds to the sadness of these star profiles. You've got great narrative...keep it up.
Mr Skinner I just subscribed to your channel. I'd like you to know in my opinion your videos are pretty well done, and with class I might add. I've grown up and still live in West Hollywood, Ca. And I do know my fair share about many actors of all ages......And so far I have not heard any false or wrong information as of yet. So far they are all pretty well informative. Good job, keep it up please, and thank you! ~PVM West Hollywood, Ca.
I saw him in barefoot in the park. Was hilarious, brought me here. I agree with previous poster. The talent seemed so much more genuine and glamorous back then.
He was such a talented actor. I had no clue his death was from suicide. How tragic. The first time I saw him was on an episode of I love Lucy. I just watched Love Affair and wanted to know more about him. I am both gald and sad that I bumped into your Channel. He seemed like a lovely man.
Hi Jerry..im from Australia & love your videos..ESPECIALLY the one about Jefferson Davis. Some years ago, I visited the house in Biloxi. In the museum inside, they had brooches from the Civil War, containing locks of the "Loved One's" hair...Freaked me out! I didnt know that this property was so badly damaged in Katrina..Has it been restored ? Thanks for your work, which is obviously a Labour of Love....Patricia..
Hi Jerry I live in Scotland and I love your channel please keep it up and I love your sweet voice I would love to put a face to the voice so maybe you might consider that. My very best wishes to you and your family.
Very sad. Goes to show, he could love that money all he wanted, but it didn't stop his son from taking his life, or stop his wife from dying. Money and fame do not equal happiness. Thanks for posting.
+mikeorclem Thanks Mike, But i am living proof, you do not have to get famous to do what i am doing, or i would not be doing it. Thank you again. Jerry
It is obvious from some of the viewers comments regarding the commentaries, that they have never heard of that great Irishman, George Bernard Shaw. He said "we have two nations separated by the same language". How true. It is also said that "every time an Englishman opens his mouth he is despised by everybody else because his accent is either working class or upper class". I wonder what mine is?
He made so many great movies, but I think my favorite roll he did was in "Barefoot in the Park," a great movie. Again we see suicide in multiple generations. Very sad. RIP, Charles, and you are always appreciated.
He scared me in Gaslight but was so good in playing that psycho. Then he was loveable in Barefoot in the Park. Its sad that good talented people have such tragic things happen.
For the history lovers here, I really enjoy finding the address of the people in the stories and then in Google I can see a picture of their house, usually. Wow it is very neat.
I was never a fan of Charles Boyer, but when I saw "Algiers" I understood fully his appeal. I have friends where I work who are fans of older movies and I mentioned that CH had committed suicide right after his wife died. One of them said, in jest, "What kind of a man would do that?" I just answered, "A Frenchman would!"
As far as I read or heard in this video, nothing was mentioned about his most famous role as Pepe La Moko in "Algiers" with Hedy lamarr, in her first American movie and became a big star in 1938. He was nominated for "Best Actor" for his role...for only one time.
Christians, in the utter depths of their ignorance, think that committing suicide is a mortal sin. I find it highly ironic that a religion that claims to be so "loving, compassionate, and moral," is so quick to judge and condemn. Thanks for this loving tribute.
tiffsaver Where did this eruption about Christians come from? The utter depths of their ignorance. I'd ask you to expand on that comment, but I think I really wouldn't care to stick around for the answer. Not judging, just looking out for my own sanity.
Secret Agent Good question. I contribute to many of Jerry Skinner's threads. In one of them, on the suicide of one of my favorite actors, Brian Keith, some Christian poster, or who I refer to as, "professional judgers," was quick to condemn him to Hell. The rest of my thoughts on this religious practice I have already stated. I do not care what bizarre agendas ANY religion practices. It's none of my business. I just don't appreciate anyone using YT to promote their private rituals and superstitious beliefs. So, you might say, I did this for my OWN sanity. And incidentally, you belligerent jerk, if you didn't want to "stick around for the answer," why did you ask??
+Olive Prouty I'm very sorry, but you're very, very wrong. On this point, Christianity is clear: Suicide is a sin. Period. The moment you start rewriting the basis of Christianity, the Bible, you begin to destroy the entire foundation of the faith.
+Heath Usry Spoken like a true Christian. But I'm not an atheist, you moronic airhead. You need to do some more praying. But this time, pray for a BRAIN. Amen??
The word does say that suicide is a sin, and that murdering is too but it also says God sent his son to die for our sins. Therefore it really isnt our place to judge for we arent the judge, god is. Those christians who youve encountered probably feel very passionate about the subject but should continue their walk in faith and spread love as christ did. Go in peace.
nice presentation,Jerry,,,, my mother had a crush in him,,and as a kid, i got to see, many of his movies,,, when you really could get into acting,, and love or hate the actors,character, they created by their,talent ,,and your accent sounds like a man who i rented a cabin for two years in ala.. while working on art, he was a lovely human being, unlike some ? need to be asses here,,,,,who dont seem to know how to check out if they don't like ,, , the atmosphere,,,keep the good work up and enjoy life,,,,and leave the malcontents in the dust
Your videos of the suicides of Charles Boyer and George Sanders are most respectful and poignant. And you've a lovely narrative voice for such. Thank You Jerry
He so enriched our lives. What a tragic life he had at the end, losing his only child and his wife. I hope he is reunited with them, and rests in peace.

Brandy Getz My husband is 57 and still loves old black and white movie's.
Brandy Getz I completely agree with you! It's nice to hear that you share the same outlook as I do.
Brandy Getz you are not alone, I appreciate old films a lot and prefer them to most of what is done now...
Me too. Right now I'm watching "Gas light"

This is such a tragic story. Since I heard the details, I see his movies differently.
I consider myself very strong minded. However, if like Mr Boyer I lost my family then what is left? Nothing!!!
There is only one downside to having children. You become vulnerable. Suddenly someone enters your world that you can't live without .

A running gag in the old Tom & Jerry shorts was when Tom would imitate Charles Boyer's French accent. Like in The Zoot Cat.

In the 1930s-1940s Boyer was a leading man. By the mid 1950s-1960s Boyer had become a supporting actor.
Hi Jerry! Thanks for all your info. As a fan of Charles Boyer I never knew he/and son committed suicide. So tragic.
what a sad story. He also appeared on the "I Love Lucy" show. RIP
Life can end so tragically. 💔
What a handsome man.......what a very sad ending....a wonderful actor....hope they are all resting in peace together!

tragedy of the loss of his son and then wife where was nothing to live for,all he loved was forever gone. $$$ isn't everything ,he had plenty ..
