Thank you Chris, you are very kind and a very good actor yourself. I am beginning to believe the entire Mitchum family are very kind people. Must come from mom and dad. Thank you again. Jerry
Another awesome video! Robert Mitchum once said "The difference between Hollywood and jail is you meet a better class of people in jail." RIP Bob Mitchum
Thank you so much for this wonderful documentary. I’m 74, and I remember Mitchum as one of the greats. how interesting to see how he made a good life! God rest him!
I met Robert Mitchum when I was on a flight from San Diego to San Jose back in September, 1976. I was a teenager and he was so nice to me on that flight. I barely knew who he was and now, looking back, he was probably was relieved that I didn't know his stature so that he could just be himself and not a movie star.
One of your best Jerry. Thanks for making all these wonderful bios. As a boomer, born in 1950, I'm lucky enough to have known and appreciated nearly everyone you've featured. I hope you keep producing these for a few more decades.
Robert Mitchum appeared to live life on his terms. I thought he was very handsome and a great actor. Thank You Jerry for all your work you put into these biographies.
Thank you Wynona, Robert Mitchum was the real James Dean. He was the real rebel in real life that Dean only portrayed on the screen. Thank you again. Jerry
Jerry Skinner Jerry...you forgot to mention that Mitchum 'refused' to WATCH his (own) movies. To him...it was just a "paycheck"...nothing more. He never "acted"...per se. He essentially played 'HIMSELF' in each role. His (on stage) "CHARISMA" was responsible for his success.
mastermooky Another actor who was a 'lot' like Mitchum was STERLING HAYDEN. He had ALL the 'attributes' that you mentioned about Mitchum (man's man, etc). Both he and Mitchum were the kind of guys who would "run into a BURNING BUILDING" and try to SAVE YOU.
Jerry, you sound like my Dad and Uncles... Sadly, all are no longer with us... Watching your videos, brings me back to childhood... I would listening to stories of places and events, from a time, I wanted to understand... I thank you from my heart, for both content and delivery...
Great bio. He may have been a "bad boy", but he seemed to have remained faithful to his wife, family and friends throughout his entire adult life - and you don't see a lot of that kind of personal commitment.
"Heaven Knows Mr. Allison" is a gem that's seldom seen anymore. Mitchum's portrayal of a hard-bitten Marine who takes a nun under his protection is one of the best film performances ever.
He's life was a difficult life like most people had those days loosing his father and the depression but he was a courageous boy that grown to be a good father a nice husband and a great actor ,his life history show us that no matter what hardships you got in your life go forward taking care of his family and friends ,also I admire him to be with his wife till the end ,thank you for this great biography of Robert Mitchum
What a story about Robert Mitchum. Really enjoyed it. What an irresistible man they certainly don’t have them today. Sexy handsome gentleman. Thank you for relating his life story with gorgeous images.
I just watched the Robert Mitchum bio...I have to say that this was a great man with a true heart of his own.They dont make actors like this anymore and this man was way ahead of his time...KUDOS and rest in peace.
Well this was definitely the best Robert mitchum bio I have had the pleasure in listening to bravo Jerry. Bob was one of the greatest actors of his era. I will certainly recommend this one 😉
Great to see another video from you, hope you put more up too. Your voice is perfect! Can't wait for the next one and you did a great job with this one! Robert Mitchum was a class A actor.
Thank you, thank you thank you Jerry. A truly compelling and beautiful tribute to one of my favourite actors. A great little Bio you have put together there which is at the same time informative and emotional. Cheers from England.
Robert Mitchum's character was really portrayal and many of the comments of him as an actor and individual with a real sense of who he is and was. All through through the miniseries of "Winds of War" I kept repeating what a magnificent example of a real leader, it looks like he really lived it as well. Kudos to all his family and friends who were closest to him!!!
Jerry, I want to thank you for the tribute to Robert. I was born in 1960, but watched reruns with my daddy. Robert was a very handsome man,actor. He was a human, doing what we have all done here an there in our lives. He had class, charm,looks, pride but most of all he was true to himself ,from what I got out of your tribute to this fine star. I am from WV but have lived all my life in Ohio. God Bless you. Loertta
Thanks for posting these retrospectives of people I grew up watching on television and movies. It's nice to know the back story of their lives. Nicely done!!!
Robert Mitchum died about the time that Jimmy Stewart died, and most of the news was on Stewart. When asked why he did movies, Robert Mitchum said: "I did it for the money." By God you can't get more honest than that. I knew I liked him!
Some of Hollywood didn't like him especially after his racist remarks about Sidney Poitier and Tony Curtis when both did the The Defiant Ones. Mitchum was supposed to play Curtis's character but the story told by many is that Mitchum didn't want to play a role with a black man.
Thank you for this fascinating and interesting history about Robert Mitchum. As I grew up here in the UK, in the mid 50's when my family had its first b/w television, come Sunday afternoons my mother would advise that "you know who" is on in a film. We would all sit around "the box" to see our hero. Throughout my life he has always been a firm favourite, along with Clint Eastwood, Robert Stack, Robert Redford and others. It was a very different way of Life and he brought something special to the screen. They don't make'em like they used to. I seem to recall a newspaper article reporting when he made his only trip to Japan. He is reported as saying, as he stepped of the plane, "Remember Pearl Harbor!" You didn't mess with Mitchum! May he rest in Peace. Thanks again, Mr. Skinner.
Bob Mitchum was a passenger on my flight when I was an Air Hostess in the fifties. He was acting in Fire Down Below with Lana Turner in Trinidad.I was so excited, I gave him my passport to sign his autograph.
vachevyguy How do you know? These stories come out decades after these people died. Can’t people stop saying the world was better before( and I’m 64)? The world was not better.
Very touching and well done tribute Jerry. Night of the Hunter and Heaven Knows Mr. Allison were two of my favorite movies. I was lucky enough to get an autographed photo of Mr. Mitchum that I have hanging in my office. Wonderful actor
as a child I watched all of Robert mitchums movies, but my favorite was when he appeared with John Wayne as the drunken sheriff. they were both so natural together and good friends since the first time they met. Robert was the splitting image of my grandfather when he was younger also. what a great actor he was in the days when actors were truly real people with a passion! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I listened to him give a interview about Marilyn Monroe and he had nothing but good to say about her now I love him even more! They don’t make em like him anymore! Thank you Robert Mitchum rip!
Nice job Jerry. I always like your videos which are certainly enhanced by your delivery style. I especially like it when you visit a grave yard and tell the story of the people or person who is buried there. Those are always great because they bring to mind our mortality with a bit of sadness added. Thanks again.
Well Mr. S, I just learned a whole lot of facts about Robert Mitcham. quite enjoyable, it was. I appreciate the time and effort you put forth on your video's. thank you so much. fond memories.
It was a privilege to meet him in Mazatlán, Sinaloa, México. He was a regular at the Playa Mazatlán Hotel. We were introduced by a Japanese actress that worked with him in Tora-Tora,Tora. We had long conversations about Mexico, Zapata, the Revolution and of course Hollywood. One of my favorite lines of his was: "I got other fish to fry".
This was so well done. Only one tidbit left out and that was his voice work in movies and commercials. His voice in Tombstone set the tone and made the movie. Awesome.
Usually I am not a fan of American narrators, but you sir are an exception. Quietly steady pace, clear warm accent and exceptional timing with the informative video. Well done sir
I thought he sounded like a Hillbilly. Or some guy with a respiratory disorder. Like he had dirty lungs. Every word is contamiated (spoken as if he has some restriction of his airways).
That's more than can be said for the person who did the subtitles. Mitchum is in one place called "missions" and in another place called "Mitchell". Did we really need this interpreter?
My guess would be you are relatively new to RUclips as I see no subtitles on my screen. So therefore you must have the auto generated RUclips subtitles turned on. Lol-They are well known for their some times close translations and some times hilariously wildly outside translations. They are not spell checked or proof read. Lol.
Thank You Jerry! I have always admired Robert Mitchum. I have virtually met his Grandson who has told us more about Robert. I have always wanted to meet him since I was a little girl. He was an honest and kind man. He did not let show Biz get to his head. family was important to him but he knew his booze and pot was his downfall. He had his bad days as we all have. No one is perfect. I like guys like Robert Mitchum, John Wayne, Charles Bronson, Michael Madsen, Robert Davi and others like them. They play tough guys and they are tough guys but they are tough guys with big hearts and gentle souls. THESE are REAL MEN! Robert Mitchum is #1 in my book, always will be!!
“The Night of the Hunter” is one of my favorite films. Robert Mitchum is absolutely diabolical as the preacher. I can’t hear “Leaning on the Promises of Jesus” without thinking of him singing that song while hunting down those two poor children who have the money he wants. It rates as possibly the most terrifying performance in film.
My father's cousin Bill worked in the hospitality industry in Tucson, Arizona and met quite a few of the stars and actors that were in movies being filmed at the Old Tucson movie set. My dad's cousin Bill said that Robert Mitchum was one of the nicest and most down to earth of the actors who he had the opportunity to serve. I think it speaks well of him that he is one of those Hollywood actors who had a stable marriage and family life. I have always enjoyed his movies and think he was a fine actor. The movie "Ryan's Daughter" proves that he was much more than just another American tough guy. This video was a fine tribute to a great actor.
I have always loved him, watched him growing up. My Daddy liked him too he loved westerns and so did I. The children now a days don’t know what good movies are, they produce junk now. Love you Robert, RIP. I might add that was a beautiful ending.❤️
One of my favorite actors of that era, Mr. Mitchum was a natural, he easily became the character on he portrayed on screen. Thank goodness for old movies on Television. My favorites are 1958 Thunder Road and 1960's Home From the Hills. Thank goodness for old movies on Television. Thanks for the many great videos, great nostalgia. .
This is one of your best. Mitchum has always been a role model of mine, and this is an exquisite representation of his life and gus life work The research, the cinematography, the narration. Just wonderful, buddy . Thanks so much !
There were two actors in H/wood that you didn't want too get on the bad side of,and they were Robert Mitchum and Jack Palance.They didn't take crap from no one.
Great genes in the Mitcham family! What a man! What an actor! Love your channel & your voice. Best wishes from a Londoner who's sadly never been to America.
I loved Robert Mitchum and you did such a lovely eloquent piece on him. Thank you Jerry. You too seem like such a wonderful gentleman yourself. All the best to you
As a youngster, the likes of Robert Mitchum and John Wayne were the iconic actors of their time, they were all time greats who inspired many who knew and worked with them,this documentary is a fitting and tasteful tribute to a great actor and great family man. His movies as with his great friends JohnnWayne were brilliant and are still viewed to present day and doubtless for many more years. I was in a public loo one day shortly after John Wayne had passed away, when I saw and read a piece of graffiti dedicated to John, it said "John Wayne is dead" to which a second party had answered this statement as follows, "the hell I am!!!!".......A fitting epitaph for both of these actors, these really great actors.... R.I.P. Robert Mitchum and John Wayne, you both gave so much to the world of movies and your viewers.
You mean "guys." Why the fuck are an increasing number of people forming plurals with a fucking apostrophe-"s"? Jesus Fucking Christ!!!!!!!!!!! Duuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh
Jerry, you just keep doing what you do; the product is always excellent. Robert Mitchum is a personal favorite. I knew he had a connection with The Eastern Shore. I thought it was Easton, Md. Some circles branded him as a ,Bad Boy" Turns out he stayed married to his first love. He made acting look easy. His connection to Norma Jean was a elevation! I am glad he made a movie with her. Marilyn, is, was and always will be my wife's favorite. I preferred Jane Russel but eventually realized both ladies were very talented and unique. Thanks for reigniting memories for me I'm thirsting for more.
Love this documentary of the late Robert Mitchum. He was one awesome good looking handsome actor along with John Wayne and all the others whom have gone. Great watch brought back lots of memories of "well spent family times watching these old movies of great actors and actresses.
There was no mention of "One Minute to Zero" a Korean war story released in 1952. I was 10 years old and my dad was the lead pilot in the Air Force shots in the movie. You can catch him as the first jet to peel-off in the combat scenes. Daddy did some carousing with Robert Mitchum the night before the cast picture was taken and missed meeting Ann Blythe, to his chagrin. I'll still watch that movie whenever I find it just to see my dad flying again. He died at the age of 78 in 1998 and I miss him terribly.
My wife was an extra in the late 80s and went to the lunch truck & Robert instead of eating with the Lead actors was standing behind my wife in line. After a nice conversation he asked my wife if he could join her for lunch. My wife Melody said he was one of the nicest & kindest person see ever met.
What an awesome actor. I grew up watching him, loved him & have tried to emulate him in my own life. Him, John Wayne & others . I wish the country had men like him now. We need him.
GREAT ACTOR AND HANDSOME MAN I'VE BEEN A FAN ALL MY LIFE SMOOTH TOUGH GUY IMAGE I LIKED THE STORY OF HIS EARLY LIFE THANKS FOR POSTING THIS FINE VIDEO JERRY !!!!! 2/15/17
As usual Mr. Skinner, your moving and dignified bios give us so much pleasure, and show us that even the famous people we see on our movie screens and televisions, have a human presence. This one showed a side of Robert Mitchum that was both sad and uplifting at times, and provided an insight into the life of one of my favourite actors. Thanks so much for your hard work in providing these short and informative bios, showing a different side to the people we have seen, and still see today on the ‘silver screen’. Please keep them coming.
Jerry, Excellent doc, great job. I worked at ABC-TV during Winds of War production in the mid 80's and got close to Robert and Dorothy when he got a Lifetime Achievement Award from American Theater Arts in Hollywood. I was producer of the event the night of the presentation. Spending time with him in Montecito was a wonderful experience. Besides being a natural talent as an actor he had great skill as a writer as well. Even doing some singing. His easy going nature was infectious. Combined with a quick wit, he was unique and fascinating man. Your doc filled in some of the blanks for me. Thank you
Thank you Fred, I love to hear from someone like you, that can give us a little more incite into the lives of people we know on the big screen. Thank you so much my friend. Jerry
Thank you, Jerry, that was beautiful. Chris Mitchum
Thank you Chris, you are very kind and a very good actor yourself. I am beginning to believe the entire Mitchum family are very kind people. Must come from mom and dad. Thank you again. Jerry
How did he dodge military service of WWII?
THE OUBLIC THINKS THAT HE WAS GALA GALA GALA

One of the traits of your documentaries I appreciate most is the absence of judgement. You deserve every bit of your success & acclaim.

Thank you so much for this wonderful documentary. I’m 74, and I remember Mitchum as one of the greats. how interesting to see how he made a good life! God rest him!
Thanks for another thoughtful and kind history lesson. There will never be another Robert Mitchum. Not many grew up like that.
And there will never be another Jerry Skinner with his wonderful documentaries!
I met Robert Mitchum when I was on a flight from San Diego to San Jose back in September, 1976. I was a teenager and he was so nice to me on that flight. I barely knew who he was and now, looking back, he was probably was relieved that I didn't know his stature so that he could just be himself and not a movie star.
What a beautiful tribute to a great actor.
Hello Diane, How are you doing?
Another actor that’ll
Never be replaced
Gone maybe but not forgotten
Thanks mr Mitchum
Standing ovation!!!!!!!!!! Always loved this man cause he had depth in his acting.....now I know why.
Hello Michelle, How are you doing?
Special man. I record all his movies.
One of your best Jerry. Thanks for making all these wonderful bios. As a boomer, born in 1950, I'm lucky enough to have known and appreciated nearly everyone you've featured. I hope you keep producing these for a few more decades.
I'm 74 years old...Mitchum's films are like a bunch of trail markers in my own life ... he was a favorite of our family.
Carlos Nells Thunder Road, Cape Fear!
Well said. Me, too.
Robert Mitchum appeared to live life on his terms. I thought he was very handsome and a great actor. Thank You Jerry for all your work you put into these biographies.
Thank you Wynona, Robert Mitchum was the real James Dean. He was the real rebel in real life that Dean only portrayed on the screen. Thank you again. Jerry
Jerry Skinner Jerry...you forgot to mention that Mitchum 'refused' to WATCH his (own) movies. To him...it was just a "paycheck"...nothing more. He never "acted"...per se. He essentially played 'HIMSELF' in each role. His (on stage) "CHARISMA" was responsible for his success.
a personal hero of mine. what was right was right, no gray area, a mans man, treated women well, and men with respect, but maintaining his own dignity
I always loved that he did just play himself, a perfect actor
mastermooky Another actor who was a 'lot' like Mitchum was STERLING HAYDEN. He had ALL the 'attributes' that you mentioned about Mitchum (man's man, etc). Both he and Mitchum were the kind of guys who would "run into a BURNING BUILDING" and try to SAVE YOU.
Jerry, you sound like my Dad and Uncles... Sadly, all are no longer with us... Watching your videos, brings me back to childhood... I would listening to stories of places and events, from a time, I wanted to understand... I thank you from my heart, for both content and delivery...
Thank you templer, i am honored to sound like your dad and uncles. Jerry
Great video thanks Mr Mitchum was an all time great actor.

Great bio. He may have been a "bad boy", but he seemed to have remained faithful to his wife, family and friends throughout his entire adult life - and you don't see a lot of that kind of personal commitment.
"Heaven Knows Mr. Allison" is a gem that's seldom seen anymore. Mitchum's portrayal of a hard-bitten Marine who takes a nun under his protection is one of the best film performances ever.
Every single time that is shown on TCM I watch, Mitchum and Ms.Deborah Kerr were Heaven
I love that movie!
He's life was a difficult life like most people had those days loosing his father and the depression but he was a courageous boy that grown to be a good father a nice husband and a great actor ,his life history show us that no matter what hardships you got in your life go forward taking care of his family and friends ,also I admire him to be with his wife till the end ,thank you for this great biography of Robert Mitchum

Touching story of a life well lived. I pray that Dorothy and Robert's pact has been fulfilled.
He was one of the greatest men alive. His acting will never be forgotten. I was a young then and thought I was in love. I still watch his movies.
Great to see another video from you, hope you put more up too. Your voice is perfect! Can't wait for the next one and you did a great job with this one! Robert Mitchum was a class A actor.

Bravo, nice Bio Jerry! Nice to see more of your great research and Bio presentations!
I still think that is one of the scariest movies ever made.
Only to be surpassed by one of the most ignorant comments ever made. Thank you.
I read years ago...Robert told his wife when his career was taking off...'stick with me Baby...you'll be farting through silk' ! Lol!

Very touching and well done tribute Jerry. Night of the Hunter and Heaven Knows Mr. Allison were two of my favorite movies. I was lucky enough to get an autographed photo of Mr. Mitchum that I have hanging in my office. Wonderful actor
He was a great actor one of my favorites and he had a hard life when he was young but he made a great life and stayed with his wife all those years.
Hello Linda, How are you doing?
I love these bios that you do Jerry. You have a storytellers voice, soothing and hypnotic. Thank you.

Thank you so much Roy. Jerry
Roy de la Helen Roy you are blessed to know about Robert...and we are all in excellent company being here with you xx
I have always loved him, watched him growing up. My Daddy liked him too he loved westerns and so did I. The children now a days don’t know what good movies are, they produce junk now. Love you Robert, RIP. I might add that was a beautiful ending.❤️
One of my favorite actors of that era, Mr. Mitchum was a natural, he easily became the character on he portrayed on screen. Thank goodness for old movies on Television. My favorites are 1958 Thunder Road and 1960's Home From the Hills. Thank goodness for old movies on Television. Thanks for the many great videos, great nostalgia. .

There were two actors in H/wood that you didn't want too get on the bad side of,and they were Robert Mitchum and Jack Palance.They didn't take crap from no one.
FANTASTIC Jerry.... love these... liked.
Great genes in the Mitcham family! What a man! What an actor!
Love your channel & your voice.
Best wishes from a Londoner who's sadly never been to America.
Me and my cousin saw Thunder Road in 1959 along with 2 quarts of bootlegged Pearl beer. Couple wino 9th graders. Loved the song.
Pearl Beer... I shudder at the memory
Thank you for all the work, Jerry. Another grrrrreat video.
I love all your videos but now this is my favorite!!!
I watch El Dorado about 5 times a year and never tire of it!
Excellent video! as always, I look forward to your presentations! you have a talent and we enjoy each one,,,, Thank you,,, Sass
I loved Robert Mitchum and you did such a lovely eloquent piece on him. Thank you Jerry. You too seem like such a wonderful gentleman yourself. All the best to you
As a youngster, the likes of Robert Mitchum and John Wayne were the iconic actors of their time, they were all time greats who inspired many who knew and worked with them,this documentary is a fitting and tasteful tribute to a great actor and great family man. His movies as with his great friends JohnnWayne were brilliant and are still viewed to present day and doubtless for many more years.
I was in a public loo one day shortly after John Wayne had passed away, when I saw and read a piece of graffiti dedicated to John, it said
"John Wayne is dead" to which a second party had answered this statement as follows, "the hell I am!!!!".......A fitting epitaph for both of these actors, these really great actors.... R.I.P. Robert Mitchum and John Wayne, you both gave so much to the world of movies and your viewers.
Guy's like Mitcham are a rare breed .

Mitchum was a bad ass
You mean "guys." Why the fuck are an increasing number of people forming plurals with a fucking apostrophe-"s"? Jesus Fucking Christ!!!!!!!!!!! Duuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhhhh
very true!

Beautiful film. I always was terrified by Mitchum's villain in Cape Fear, he had that quiet menace about him. Well done.
Jerry, you just keep doing what you do; the product is always excellent. Robert Mitchum is a personal favorite. I knew he had a connection with The Eastern Shore. I thought it was Easton, Md. Some circles branded him as a ,Bad Boy" Turns out he stayed married to his first love. He made acting look easy. His connection to Norma Jean was a elevation! I am glad he made a movie with her. Marilyn, is, was and always will be my wife's favorite. I preferred Jane Russel but eventually realized both ladies were very talented and unique. Thanks for reigniting memories for me I'm thirsting for more.
Thank you Jim, good to hear from you again. Jerry
Love this documentary of the late Robert Mitchum. He was one awesome good looking handsome actor along with John Wayne and all the others whom have gone. Great watch brought back lots of memories of "well spent family times watching these old movies of great actors and actresses.
There was no mention of "One Minute to Zero" a Korean war story released in 1952. I was 10 years old and my dad was the lead pilot in the Air Force shots in the movie. You can catch him as the first jet to peel-off in the combat scenes. Daddy did some carousing with Robert Mitchum the night before the cast picture was taken and missed meeting Ann Blythe, to his chagrin. I'll still watch that movie whenever I find it just to see my dad flying again. He died at the age of 78 in 1998 and I miss him terribly.
My wife was an extra in the late 80s and went to the lunch truck & Robert instead of eating with the Lead actors was standing behind my wife in line. After a nice conversation he asked my wife if he could join her for lunch. My wife Melody said he was one of the nicest & kindest person see ever met.

As usual Mr. Skinner, your moving and dignified bios give us so much pleasure, and show us that even the famous people we see on our movie screens and televisions, have a human presence.
This one showed a side of Robert Mitchum that was both sad and uplifting at times, and provided an insight into the life of one of my favourite actors. Thanks so much for your hard work in providing these short and informative bios, showing a different side to the people we have seen, and still see today on the ‘silver screen’. Please keep them coming.
Thank you Gary. Jerry
Jerry, Excellent doc, great job. I worked at ABC-TV during Winds of War production in the mid 80's and got close to Robert and Dorothy when he got a Lifetime Achievement Award from American Theater Arts in Hollywood. I was producer of the event the night of the presentation. Spending time with him in Montecito was a wonderful experience. Besides being a natural talent as an actor he had great skill as a writer as well. Even doing some singing. His easy going nature was infectious. Combined with a quick wit, he was unique and fascinating man. Your doc filled in some of the blanks for me. Thank you
Thank you Fred, I love to hear from someone like you, that can give us a little more incite into the lives of people we know on the big screen. Thank you so much my friend. Jerry
Beautifully narrated.
Thank you for uploading this video. Your in-depth research is very interesting as always.
Again Jerry you did an awesome job!
Great job - thanks. Mitchum was a great actor and I always enjoyed watching him.
Robert Mitchum was my favorite actor, whose persona outshone his career. Thank you for this great video! He looked like his father.
Sure do enjoy your videos! Thank you
Well done.
Thunder Road still plays at the last remaining drive-in theaters in the Southeast.
A great story! Thank you Jerry. Be blessed.
