    I had a bungalow right NEXT to Walter Pidgeon in the summer of 1965. He was performing at the Falmouth playhouse (on Cape Cod) in "The Happiest Millionaire." I was on my honeymoon and he and his friends had been rather noisy after the play (as if we would have noticed.) The following morning he, very graciously, had a fruit basket with a bottle of champagne sent to us as an apology for the noise. I noticed he was relaxing in our mutual grassy back yard so I approached him to thank him. It was like a dream come true for I had been a fan of his (and Miss Garson) for years.
    He offered, and we accepted, two tickets to the play that night.
    During the play he was reciting the guest list for a grand party they were planning then, suddenly said, "Oh, and don't forget to invite Jim and Anne Marie Tuberosa who just came back from their honeymoon. We were so stunned my (naive) wife said, "Is there ANOTHER Jim Tuberosa here??) Needless to say this is among my most cherished memories and I'll always remember how a legendary actor like Walter Pidgeon took such special care to give us THAT memory.....God Bless him and keep him.....

    It gives me chills/goosebumps just seeing and listening to Greer Walter and Fred. SO much talent in that little circle of people. Walter/Greer movies will always stand the test of time. Their pairing in movies was on par with William Powell and Myrna Loy who made 11 or 12 movies together. What a treat this is. Many thanks for upload.

    I have just accidently caught this clip and being in my 80's I was swept up with nostalgia. Stars of the Golden Age of Hollywood had a magic about them that is 'lost' today. Why is that ?

      Maybe partially because in those days the studios built up and groomed their stars, and made sure that they got the right kind of publicity.

    I absolutely adore these two (and Fred and Gene too!) It's so lovely to think that Greer and Walter were actually proper friends who really did see each other in real life and weren't just "Hollywood friends".

    • @tarnsand
      @tarnsand 9 лет назад +3

      +classic elegance Greer Walter their spouses and families even vacationed together a couple of times. Back in the day many Hollywood stars were lifelong neighbours and friends. Examples; Lucille Ball/GaryMorton were friends forever with the James Stewart's Henry Fonda's Bob Hope's. Jack Benny lived next door to Lucy and would pop in and out of the house like part of the family.

    • @classicelegance384
      @classicelegance384 9 лет назад +6

      Yes, I remember reading in a Greer Garson biography that Greer and Walter sometimes spent Christmas together with their families. It's such a lovely thought.

      +nondescript Actually that is her personality. She was very outgoing. I doubt she was drinking before this and was definitely not known as a excessive drinker. Greer was however one of the biggest stars in Hollywood in the 1940's and was used to being treated as royalty. By all accounts; she was very well liked.No stories suggest otherwise.

      From left to right: Mike Douglas, Mervyn LeRoy (the white-haired gentleman who joins the discussion later in the video), Greer Garson, Walter Pidgeon, Fred Astaire, and Gene Kelly. Mike Douglas was a singer who later became a talk-show host a la Dinah Shore, Mervyn LeRoy was a director and producer of films, Greer Garson and Walter Pidgeon acted together in many films. Fred Astaire and Gene Kelly were multi-talented film stars. Gene Kelly directed films as well.
