      None they were all shit he was a shitty actor and a shitty person LOL. I do remember enjoying a film with him in but he wasn't the main star and he was quite funny but had no idea what sort of a person he was. If you don't want people to think bad of people maybe you shouldn't make negative videos about them LOL

      On the DVD that showed the episode Jim Henson's son detailed what brought about that scene. Peter Sellers told Henson he had misgivings about doing the scene where the actors can just be themselves. He told him I just can't be myself, let me be Queen Victoria, and so they had him doing an imitation of Queen Victoria but forgetting what she looked like. On a side note the DVD also stated Sellers loved the Muppet Show and that Gonzo was his favorite character.

    Recently started to read his son's book, can feel that there were problems in relations there also was no hature towards father. If those are real feelings, then Sellers was not constantly bad towards children. He actually supported son (at least financialy) till like 23? when he stopped filling like being loved only for money. Although when Sellers was at the hospital, his son found out, that dad did not even have his children photos (only parents one) in his belongings.
    Chaplin is a genious, but, according to his doughter and ex-wifes was a difficult man too.
    I think deeply he was not an evil, but had a lot of psychological issues. I think, really evil person would not be able to play adorable Chancy or Clouseau.

  • @allys744
    @allys744 2 года назад +7

    Peter was an interesting figure. Which is very ironic, since he claimed that he himself had no real personality outside characters, so without them, he would seem very boring. He was very troubled and many of his personal issues caused him to behave erratically and be very difficult. In summation, he was a needy manchild.
    But in spite of all this, he shouldn’t be branded as a monster. He was sick and should’ve gotten the help he needed. As much as I like the movie, the life and death of Peter sellers (I like how it was made, fourth walls, Peter morphing into his roles, etc.), the book and film try to paint him as evil.

    It's strange to me that the video is talking about how abusive and psychotic he was, and left his children with barely anything. And the comments are talking about how great he was. What confuses me is that the legends of todays era get chastised from Hollywood for things they have written 10 years ago, and Peter Sellers just got more roles for his abuse.

      It's pure speculation of course but if he'd been living today in the age of social media he'd have been finished - blacklisted - long ago. I suppose the moral of the story is that you do not have to be a nice person to be hugely talented and, God, was he talented.

    • @peterd788

      It was a different time. Sellers had extraordinary talent but he had, at the very least, an extreme personality disorder and was quite possibly a psychopath. He was incredibly selfish and cruel but that doesn't alter the fact that he was a great entertainer. The audience didn't have to live with him.

The fact that they received something, rather than not a single penny, made it harder for them to contest the will from the legal standpoint.

      Peter might not have been the most handsome of men BUT he was definitely not ugly. In fact, he was actually quiet handsome in After the Fox and The World of Henry Orient. Like I said, he was no Clark Gable or James Dean...but he was far from being ugly.
      And in all honesty, he was extremely characteristic. Contrary to what this video says, the good side of his personality could be extremely alluring. In few times in his life when he was happy, he gave off an energy that was dynamic, engaging, and magnetizing. Especially to someone like Lynne Frederick (his last wife), who was always chasing after and looking for a father figure. She’s a case of a child who suffered paternal deprivation in her early years and then perused relationships with men old enough to be her father.
