Thank you for watching my channel! If you enjoyed this video, please SUBSCRIBE and HIT THE NOTIFICATION BELL to my channel. I have fun talking about television from the 50s, 60s, 70s and 80s television shows and often with the stars of the shows..
Just ran the colorized version of The Bishop’s Wife last night and It’s A Wonderful Life the night before, so this interview is a special treat for me. As a Catholic, I’m so glad to hear that the lovely Loretta Young took her faith so seriously, may she rest In peace. We could sure use more of that in Hollywood today. Thanks, John and Karolyn! Merry Christmas to you both!
Glad you enjoyed the interview! I just finished watching It’s a Wonderful Life yesterday and The Bishop’s Wife tonight, both still magical. Merry Christmas!
What a wonderful interview! Karolyn is a delight with such marvelous stories. So down to earth and honest. Onion gas in the eyes? Really? Talk about child abuse! Lol. John Wayne was my dad's favorite actor. So happy she had good memories of him.
@@ThatsClassicTV What's interesting too is that the actor who portrayed the young George Bailey working in Gower's Drug Store in It's a Wonderful Life is the same actor who challenged little Debbie to the snowball fight in The Bishop's Wife.
Here is a great story. Used to live in Chelsea MI. There was a place called 'Zuzu''s entirely based on the movie. Used to love eating there with the kids in Downtown Chelsea. Jeff Daniels, BTW, often visited the place. Incidentally, the website is still there so I assume it's still running.
Excellent interview as always. You have great skills at it. This has been my favorite movie for many years. I just saw the man who played Tommy on an interview just a week ago. He played the younger boy who burped. His eyes were the same. He shared that this year the lady who played Janie couldnt make their annual gathering done each year in Seneca Falls NY. Karolyn had the great trivia.
Thrilled you enjoyed it Sue. I always loved the movie myself😀sad to hear the woman who played Janie passed away. Karolyn brought back so many great memories of a time long gone.
This was a great way to start off the weekend before Christmas! I can't imagine how excited you were to have a chance to interview her. I for one are so happy you had this awesome opportunity!! I'm going to share this wonderful gem with my friends over on Facebook, they will flip when they see it!!! Thank you so much 😊 👍👍
I appreciate that so much Karen Lee, I was thrilled to interview her and it really gave me a sense of that amazing time period as well. I am literally watching It’s a Wonderful Life right now😀Thanks for sharing with your friends too.👍
Such a fantastic interview! I personally didn't see this movie until quite a few years ago myself. She is a gem and so glad that you were able to have her come on your show for us. You should do more classic movies!! Merry Christmas from Jamie & Karl :) I also shared it on FB.
Thank you Jamie and Karl, so glad you enjoyed it! Also glad you finally saw the movie, it is a great one and Karolyn really brought it back. Appreciate you sharing it on FB as well, it is a great one to share. Merry Christmas and hope the New Year is a special one for you both!
Interesting that she says David Niven didn't like children yet at the time of filming Bishop's Wife he had two sons aged 4 and 2. Later Niven and his second wife adopted two girls. Maybe Karolyn misread a moody Niven. He was upset about his having to switch characters but also his first wife had died tragically only the year before (1946). Niven could've also been put off by her demeanor or something (he misread her). On another note: are you able to interview Linda Henning from Petticoat Junction? Maybe just a dream.
A couple things, I decided I wanted this for Christmas and also I only post every two weeks or so. Therefore I also try to be backed up with my interviews as I never know when they will come in.
@@ThatsClassicTV that answered my question, thank you, It's A Wonderful Life is my all time favorite movie, I saw it in the early 70's when it was released to NBC and I remember sitting on the edge of the bed so I wouldn't fall asleep bc it was a long movie and I had a small child so I was very tired from caring for him that day, my husband.fell asleep but I made sure to stay up and watch the full movie and I've been hooked ever since, thank you for a wonderful interview, I enjoy all of them....

Hi ! I have looked everywhere for a colorized version of TBW on dvd. Where can I find one ? Thanks !
@@SweeetSue Why? What on earth is wrong with the original black and white? Fat chance of a colorized version on DVD, though.
What a heartwarming interview. She is truly a lovely lady. Happy Holidays to you and your family.
Thanks Jill, happy holidays to you and your family as well!

@ThatsClassicTV I have to correct the statement. She couldn't make the annual gathering. Sorry I'll change it now.
@@SueProv No problem, appreciate your input!
Great interview....I subscribed ! 👍

Interesting perspective on David Niven. As far as Linda Henning, I can do my best and time will tell.
Karolyn was great, very interesting 😊John was tedious😏
Glad you enjoyed the interview!
Why does it take so long to post an interview like this bc she said she will be 83 and she was 83 July 4th...is it bc of editing?

Interview carl banas corinne conley iris rainer dart shelby flint and steffi calli this week.
Time will tell, thanks for your suggestions.
$300 in 1950 equals about $3800 now.
Very cool, $3800 is a lot of fireworks!
