AWESOME I bet it was. I'm not a star chaser or never had been. But I would have done the same. I think she's even more attractive than Liz Taylor in her prime.
Demi Moore reminds me so much of her,from her mannerisms,that husky raspy voice,both raven haired with very engaging personalities.Demi was the younger version of Suzanne Pleshette.
Vince Niederman Yes I loved her on the BN show and also on playing the mother in law, on 8 Simple Rules which was the last TV show she was a regular on.
I was in my early teens when I had a forever crush on Suzanne when she was 32😍 always and still had a love fore her untill her passing in 2008! RIP Suzanne with love😍😍
Surely one of the most beautiful actresses that ever was. More lovely than Elizabeth Taylor and a great more talented than many today. Christopher Australia
One of my favorite actresses. She could be funny, romantic, dramatic & her voice was unique in a good way. She was both easy on the eyes, as well as the ears.
The very gorgeous sexy Suzanne Pleshette. The best lady in any movie. So sad to not see her in person anymore. She was a treasure to be with for so many very pleasant years.
Suzanne was a dream, including that hairstyle. Can't forget someone this rare and talented. Reminds me of Jimmy Dorsey's version of the song, So Rare (1957). Unforgettable woman.
I fell in love with her when I was 12 years old and always dreamed that she'd be my girlfriend someday. Being disabled, I was very shy with girls but I could relate to her. I had fantasies of her being my date to the school dance and all the kids looking on in disbelief. I'll always love her. What a classy lady.
Me too! But I think I was ten. I used to sing "I'm getting married to Suzanne Pleshette" kind of as a joke, and my sister would mock me about it. My first of very few celebrity crushes.

A true natural beauty. Her voice, from heavy smoking, became raspy, distinctly sexy. It eventually fomented your early demise. What a dynamic personality and alluring actress
Sadly her Heavy Smoking, Took her life much to soon May she RIP & is missed by all of her Fans etc.She was Born in Brooklyn, Heights NY According to her Bio.
You and I must have had the same mother. Lol I just mentioned to someone that this video gives me the feeling that my mother is being interviewed, if I turn down the sound. They could be twins.
Smoked for many years at the time when it seemed harmless at first. That was always a big mistake that claimed a lot of Hollywood legends like her, Dean Jones, Yul Brynner, and many others.

@@billfleming6211 Did you know Jim, one of the waiters who often served Suzanne? I still know him.
I have been to that Hamlet. How lucky you were.
I loved The Hamburger Hamlet Restaurant. I had one of my first date there
That voice...that reassuring, smokey, deep husky voice....I could hear it all day
I still cannot decide whether the deep husky voice adds or detracts from her attractive attributes as an actress or woman.
shes died of lung cancer
Loved that voice
@@JacksonJones-je9uk Yup, it was a smoker's voice.

I had no idea that she was the IT-chef girl in the birds before you wrote this. I definately didnt recognize her
@@christoffersundberg8689 she was the school teacher in the birds.
What a charmer she was!!!
Apparently, she really was as much of a stand-up gal as she seemed. Good life, well lived.
Old school class that most celebs these days can't comprehend. She could weave a story fabulously.
I miss tv like this
I adore her laugh. Something about it sounds so right. Makes me want to chuckle.
It was great, but unfortunately a by product of smoking.
@@kennethsouthard6042 She was smokin Hot
Smart, funny, charming, excellent actress, still very pretty on here - used to be DROP DEAD gorgeous.
I love her voice. She sure is missed.
Smoker's voice. Died of lung cancer at 70, sadly.
OMGWTFLOL Yeah Can’t Believe She Was a Long Time Smoker!
She use to chain smoke, as she got older her voice became more raspy. The same happened to Lucile Ball and Audrey Meadows voice.
DA'KNIGHT38 True and Suzanne Was a Great Actress!
Vince Niederman Yes I loved her on the BN show and also on playing the mother in law, on 8 Simple Rules which was the last TV show she was a regular on.
God I miss that show. and all the guest and Suzanne Pleshette is one of the best.
Miss Suzanne was a rare Person with Great Dignity and a Talent !
Right up there with her fellow acting buddy Dean Jones. I'm sure their doing their comical skits somewhere in Heaven making Angels laugh.
I was in my early teens when I had a forever crush on Suzanne when she was 32😍 always and still had a love fore her untill her passing in 2008!
RIP Suzanne with love😍😍
I loved her so beautiful.💖💖💖💖
I first saw her in Rome Adventure. She was so beautiful with a husky voice! Since then she became my favorite movie star.
Suzanne Pleshette is a real treasure.
They are all gone...Love her on the Bob Newhart Show. The final scene in the last episode of The Newhart Show was FANTSTIC!!!
gosh!! This was 41 years ago!!
Love her voice :)
Suzanne Pleshette was a babe in her day.
Suzanne was a regular on the Tonight Show . during the 70s & 80s she really looked. classy
Surely one of the most beautiful actresses that ever was. More lovely than Elizabeth Taylor and a great more talented than many today.

What a great looking woman!
Back when evening talk shows were watchable...

When adults acted and sounded like adults
Today, talk show hosts are owned by the Democratic Party!
How I miss intelligent conversation on late night television.
Oh you poor, poor babies.
Stunning lady, and played a great tv wife to Bob Newhart.
In the show, she played the part of a school teacher. Can you imagine being a student in her class?
Gosh ! I so loved Suzanne Pleshette !

This type of organic, relaxed conversation doesn’t exist in talk shows anymore. It’s been replaced by contrived, phony dialogue.
Craig Ferguson had it.
Class lady!
Most Promising Newcomer..."God knows I didn't live up to that." lol
MOM! (Seriously my late Mother was the spittin image of Suzanne and just as sassy)
I'm sorry about your Mom, but I'm glad my Mom isn't the spittin image of Suzanne. I have enough problems w/o dealing with an Oedipus complex!
You and I must have had the same mother. Lol I just mentioned to someone that this video gives me the feeling that my mother is being interviewed, if I turn down the sound. They could be twins.
In her prime Suzanne looked better than Marilyn Monroe
I don't think she was as screwed up psychologically, That's for sure
I agree 100%
A Rage to Live, great movie she did in the 60's, love her
She could do the entire show by herself. She doesn't even need Johnny...
I loved them both, those gawd damn cigarettes killed them too early

The shoulders ... I wonder what decade this is..
The Eighties.
I saw her on an episode of Columbo. Her voice was much higher. Smoking must have affected her voice quite a bit.

@@frankpaya690 your making a fool of yourself and taking my comment out of context. I feel sorry for you
Amen to that! People are something else these days.
What does creepy Biden have to do with this? And incidentally, the three here happened to be friends off set.
A rage to live
Her voice and Julie London's voice. Ah, sigh.....
My god she was hot.
Her last Marriage was to Tom Postom, TV Star etc
Apparently someone she meet earlier life and they married after being bereaved . . . .
Such a beauty and a great actress. She should have put down the cigs long before she pass. May she rest peacefully.
She's hot.
She has such beautiful hair! Why the hair style? Why do women with beautiful hair pull it up so it can't be seen?
Because the pulled back hair emphasizes the face and in particular, the cheekbones. Pulling it off just right can make a girl look thinner as well.
I have long brown hair but usually wear it up because I don't really like it in my face.
I always thought she was a way hotter than Lynda Carter
I really wish she didn't smoke so much :(
So sexy and funny.I got anxious hearing her actor's nightmare stories.
Heavy smoker
Very Husky voice.
The many cigarettes that she was chain smoking really messed with her vocal chords.
Her voice was not as husky in the early 70's
But by 1980 she sounded weird.
Close to the end of her life, I sat at dinner with her. Her voice was strong and she was engaging beyond measure and didn’t find she sounded weird.
Smoke much? But i miss them both!
If you can't say something nice, don't say nothing at all.
shes 1 good looking jew
Is she wesring a bra?
I don't think so, I detected some jiggle. She was a sexy lady.
