Well, I have a Debra Winger story. 30 years ago, I was lifeguarding at the Santa Monica YMCA. It was always busy and you always had to share a lap lane. This really hot lady walked out, already wearing her cap and goggles, and she sort of looked at the pool like she was lost. So, to do my job, but really more to be a hound dog, I went over and asked how i could help. Well, I want to swim, was all she said. I said, just jump in a lane that matches what you think your speed is. I don't know what speed is, she said. I said, this lane is slow lane and that one is the fastest, so just jump in. If you seem slower or faster you can move over. So, she jumps in and swims maybe four laps then gets out. I asked her what happened? She said she just wasn't used to sharing a lane and it was freaking her out thinking she was slowing everybody down. I assured her she wasn't but she was done for the day. Then she took off her goggle and cap and holy crap it was Debra Winger. We had a few stars go in there; mostly small bit tv actors, but she was the biggest and best story I've got. And yes, she was smoking hot.
My favorite saint was St. Ursula who in the book of saints "was raped by a thousand Huns and died with a smile on her face' and we were expected to admire her focus on her afterlife instead of being really angry about being raped by a 1000 freaking Huns!
@@davidparker2761 I believe you can be angry, and you are expected to be. I think the goal is not to diminish the atrocity (the story would be punchless) but to instill that atrocities and suffering take part in a greater good. Like St. John of Ávila once said: If Our Lord went to Heaven wounded and sore, will we His servants arrive there suited and unsoiled?
There are no female saints in the bible ever. Read your bible the real bible. Christ had male disciples and then after his death at the crucifixion they were referred to as Apostles. There were no, not ever female saints in the bible. Boy has the Catholic church screwed up the teachings of Our Holy Lord and SaviourJesus Christ . There is a scripture in revelation the Last chapter and about the last verse, about what will happen to anyone who preverts, changes anything to do with the holy word from God. Be careful.
Gerry Nightingale Because they are the best human examples of how to live a Christlike life in the face of persecution, ridicule, poverty, self sacrifice, prayer, and love.
i am SO happy that ms. winger has returned to the screen again! the last movie i saw with her was leap of faith. my friend and i saw the movie billboard, on which steve martin is plastered, bigger than life! on that same billboard ms. winger is in the left-hand corner, in a small box; what we referred to as the postage stamp! we were outraged! and she was the best part of the movie! :D
What authentic about her. She is an actress. And there are no female saints in the bible. After 40 years as a Christian, reading my bible every day ,there are absolutely no female saints ever in the bible.
I have no other places to say it so I'll say it here. Debra Winger, you are such a wonderful actor. My favorite. One of the few I'd ever really love to meet.
I wish they had buried the hatchet before maclaines afi. Would have been super interesting to have winger doing tributes and say something like can I have my oscar back now
This is six years late and no one is gonna read it lol but there ARE saints that lived long peaceful lives. St. Melangell (Monacella latinized) had a pretty good life. - "According to the Historia, Melangell was a princess of Ireland who fled an arranged marriage. She lived in the wilderness of Powys as a consecrated virgin for fifteen years before being discovered by a prince by the name of Brochwel Ysgithrog. In 604 AD, Brochwel was hunting near Pennant (now Pennant Melangell). His dogs, chasing a hare, led him to a "virgin beautiful in appearance" devoutly praying,[9] with the hare lying safe under the hem of her dress. The prince urged the dogs on, but they retreated and fled from the hare. After hearing Melangell's story, Brochwel donated the land to her, granting perpetual asylum to both the people and animals of the area. Melangell lived for another 37 years in the same place, founding and becoming abbess of a community of nuns. The hares and wild animals behaved towards Melangell as if they were tamed, and miracles were attributed to them. After Melangell's death, someone by the name of Elise attempted to attack the virgins, but "came to an end most wretchedly and perished suddenly."[9]" Found trespassing and a prince just GIVES you the land, without you being asked to sleep with him? Not bad dude, not bad.
Amen! Its not called walking away from Hollywood if its not your end goal. Like anything else. She simply passes through Hollywood and does some amazing stuff while shes there.
I love St. Lawrence who was martyred by being burned alive on a grill. The reason I love him is, it is said he he yelled(as he was being burned on the grill) "I'm well done on this side. Turn me over!" Oh and to cap it off. He is, ironically, the patron Saint of cooks (Also, no monotheistic religions are not sexist.. except Islam)
@@JaneDoe-ng3zmIf you think Debra Winger has an Adam's apple you need optical, or other medical assistance. I hope you have learned, in the past year, that woman can have an Adam's apple, too, so your comment is pointless. I guess you aren't that familiar with women, and are not a vampire.
Can't believe an actress like her would have plastic surgery. She's not recognizable anymore. She was so great back in the day. Wonder how her career would've gone if she didn't stop making films.
I used to read lots of articles on her back in the day that said she was easily one of the most difficult people to work with in Hollywood. I always wondered if that was actually true/ how much of that was true, or if it was all just rumors from jealous, catty people?
even she has admitted of it but so are many other people. There are people she didn't get along with (shirley maclaine) and othe people who she had a great time working with (Anthony Hopkins)

still has that voice. rock on debra
God, she's still absolutely gorgeous.
wow the way we walked out on the stage so much confidence!
So good to see her again.

I just love Debra Winger! She still has the same beautiful smile and eyes. So talented and charismatic ❤️
The saints are great... there are many amazing women saints... check out St Katherine of Sienna.

@@davidparker2761 thats not bibical at all.
I love her. Forget Paris is my favourite film of hers.
It's nice that she's allowed herself to age gracefully without plastic surgery.
she aged fantastically!!
She sounds like a great guy!
Probably because religion is the root of much of the world's problems and he knows that his viewers don't care.
You mean there actually are people who 'give a shit' concerning Catholic Saints??? Why?
Gerry Nightingale Because they are the best human examples of how to live a Christlike life in the face of persecution, ridicule, poverty, self sacrifice, prayer, and love.
She aged beautifully! She looks even more stunning now I think, her facial features are so much more defined and she has such a wonderful presence!
Debra looks fantastic!
Agree...! And she sounds like a dude!
If by fantastic you mean insanely obvious plastic surgery then sure.
She looks pretty good. I don't think she's had a lot of work done.
I agree! She looks great. Maybe some botox but not excessive.
She was always pretty.
She never aged. She went away for 30 years and came back looking just as good as always.

"THE TURBULENT BRILLIANCE OF DEBRA WINGER" --- Shirley MacLaine
Sebastian Stormborn turbulent brilliance should be the title of debras biopic
They hated each other
I will never forget The sheltering sky ...
Always loved her. Terms of Endearment was epic.
cromagnum should've got an oscar for that
She still looks gorgeous I wish she would do some more movies I loved her in Terms of Endearment
Sam Addison we need more of her in movies
Such a smart and funny lady!
I named my daughter Emma after Debra in Terms of Endearment. ❤ Love her!!
Lovely woman. She's so authentic, very much a woman of her own.
What authentic about her. She is an actress.
And there are no female saints in the bible. After 40 years as a Christian, reading my bible every day ,there are absolutely no female saints ever in the bible.
@@lee-annebarrett366 says the Catholic church anti woman organization A saint is a follower of Jesus teaching can be woman or man
During the filming of Everybody Wins I shook hands with her on the street in Norwich Connecticut.
Ah, Debra Winger...she looks amazing, always has...what a beauty...
Love her....Love her honesty even more!
I have no other places to say it so I'll say it here. Debra Winger, you are such a wonderful actor. My favorite. One of the few I'd ever really love to meet.

Your delightful Debra so funny😍
Great interview 💖😊
Who knows her from An Officer and a Gentleman and Terms of Endearment? Millennials? I don't think so!
Yet, this very knowledge qualifies you for entrance into the millennial sub-culture of hipsterdom! ;)
JacobSprenger Lol! Very true. I hadn't thought of that...
I'm a millennial and I know her from Urban Cowboy because my mom used to watch that movie all the time.
I'm a millennial (born in 1983) and I've known she was in both these movies for a loooong time.
Maybe he's not speaking to Millennials
She also helped provide the voice for E.T., and plays the "zombie doctor" during the Halloween sequence of the film.
I remember her from Urban Cowboy. Still smokin hot. Watch Netflix's "The Ranch" she's great in it.
She's beautiful, always loved her😍
Debra Winger is still an amazing woman, always charming.
That is DEBRA WINGER FOR YOU,COMMANDING PRESENCE.ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL,GORGEOUS,SMART AND INTELLIGENT.

ahhh. he mentioned Shadowlands!
I know right, that's one of her best roles but in not mentioned as much as something like ubran cowboy. underrated movie
Wow, "God's got a beard." That was surprisingly dismissive but also funny
I’ve always had a crush on this lovely and ageless superb actress :-Debora Winger❤❤lovely lady. Huba huba!!
Just nice to see Debra Winger. Great talent of the late 70s and 80s.
Walked away to build her primary and private life. Still... she was terrific.
terryfriend16 and 90s
laxus 94 --- I miss her.
terryfriend16 lets hope for a comeback
90s too, if you've seen Shadowlands! Anthony Hopkins as C.S. Lewis, Debra as an American who wants to get to know him better
An odd bird that tends to land flat. Framed correctly she can come off charming, however. Appreciate what she did for us on screen.
Debra is still hot !!
She still is a good looking lady.good actress to.
She's my girl crush. Still so lovely.
After seeing the Andy Cohen interview, I came over to see this one with Stephen Colbert. I gotta say, she's a riot and she seems like a fun lady.
Amen! Its not called walking away from Hollywood if its not your end goal. Like anything else. She simply passes through Hollywood and does some amazing stuff while shes there.
'Cannery Row'. All's I'm saying. 'Beer Milk Shake'
Yes, I forgot about 'Cannery Row' that was a great adaptation.
Debra Winger needs to look at St. Therese de Liseux “ Story of a Soul.” This would be a positively excellent choice.
I love her honest humour.
I hope someone asks shirley maclaine about this too
Still in Love with Sissy
She still have that smile
She aged so beautifully
instead they had Aniston sitting near maclaine
She's taken good care of herself!
She is very intellectual. And picks things apart it's k she is a superb actress
My childhood crush and still... 🥰 Sassy, witty and opinionated. So pretty.
I loved her in Cannery Row and Urban Cowboy.
She's is lovely.
She was at her best in Legal Eagles, one of my favourite films of all time.
Might be sacrilege to say this, but I think Debra Winger would have been a better Princess Leia than Carrie Fisher.
No. Debra is too mid western. She has that odd voice.
Debra love her raspy voice.
Fun fact.....she did the voice for E.T. in 1982. For real!
E.T. PHONE HOME!!!!!!😎❤
Great actress, funny, intelligent, independent, difficult, confident, complicated.
She is really nice.
Can’t imagine Debra and Shirley not getting along. Crazy!
I think they didnt get along because like poles repel sometimes. They are actually very similar
laxus 94 Debra hated Lynda Carter too
Austin Pearce got along well with anthony hopkins
Oh. My. Dayum. She's one hott grandma.
Mom maybe. Doesn't look like a grandma yet.
I love St. Lawrence who was martyred by being burned alive on a grill.
The reason I love him is, it is said he he yelled(as he was being burned on the grill)

I love that story of him!
I guess we won't get ryan murphys feud shirley debra edition
Colbert curved that saint convo real quick
"Wake-up every day and still love each other" is somehow 'not true?' Uh...yeah...actually it IS true.
She dated a real war hero, Bob Kerrey during "Terms of Endearment".
2:52 Amen!!
And She Was Also Wonder Girl Aka Drusilla on Wonder Woman's Little Sister. They Forgot to Mention That!
We have the same patron Saint Stephen!
She is what back in the day was called a handsome woman.
She has an Adams apple
@@JaneDoe-ng3zmIf you think Debra Winger has an Adam's apple you need optical, or other medical assistance. I hope you have learned, in the past year, that woman can have an Adam's apple, too, so your comment is pointless. I guess you aren't that familiar with women, and are not a vampire.

Ty
WTF are you even talking about?
I don't know what you're talking about. She looks like she's always looked.
good to see Emma and aurora again
I love Debra ❤️
She is the definition of lovely
I guess you can mock Christian denomination but not any other - wow what a scandal that would be
godddamn !!! She just keeps getting hotter with age.
I didn't know Lorraine Bracco had a sister:)
I wouldn’t have thought of that but now that you mention it I see and hear the resemblance
I used to read lots of articles on her back in the day that said she was easily one of the most difficult people to work with in Hollywood. I always wondered if that was actually true/ how much of that was true, or if it was all just rumors from jealous, catty people?

Debra Winger exudes sex appeal no matter what age she is. Classy, intelligent and witty...oh did I say, "sexy" ?
Every movie she was in ,she made it better...
I want your book debra.
she works in the ranch too
Forget Paris
Sisyyyy ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Seems like a totally different person from what she was back in those movies
Damn she looks great.
Love STEPHEN ❤
Debra is wonderful so like her...💖
Aug 25th. 🌟🌟🌿
Sheltering Sky!
She looks gorgeous.
They could have embarrassed her even more by showing her as Wonder Woman's little sister.
She once turned into Wonder Girl on this very stage, the first week Letterman was hosting in 1993.
She was the darling of the love films favorites are urban cowboy and an officer and gentleman
She could have done so much more. She was just hard to work , period.
@@harpoon_bakery162 she is a legend but if she had done them movies she rejected she her legacy would be that of a legit afi or cecille d bemille candidate.
Nothing about her days on Wonder Woman? She was hot in her costume!
Needs to be included in the MCU
thereby continuing the tradition of ex DC associated actors making a jump to MCU
Love her.
