Rogers also reflects on his relationship with his late wife Mary Pickford, actresses Marion Davies and Carole Lombard and gangster Al Capone.

This is a positive, cheering, kind man. I'll bet he really brought a great deal of happiness to Mary Pickford.
I love how he says “honey” throughout like it’s punctuation!
I loved him in "Wings". He was perfect for the part of Jack. His face really captured the pain Jack was feeling. That movie touches my heart. He's a tremendous actor.
This right here is why I'm a TCM fan !
This man is fascinating.
I love how he uses the Endearment "Honey" . He is such a sweet old man. Amazing.
Just seen a bio about him last week, he was a nice man is what they said, even tempered, always a smile, no wonder Mary Pickford fell for him! He still had a small town country charm n manners👍
what a charming man!
His hometown of Olathe, Kansas is quite proud of him. There is a small theater named for him near downtown that is quite popular.
Fascinating.
Thank you so much for posting.
He’s lovely, I wanted to hear more about Clara Bow, she was outrageous!
Hollywood really was Hollywood back then! Talented and decent people! Fantasy was real! Ugliness wasn't promoted as entertainment as now!
Thank you! You are right!!! ❤️🙌⭐️
Wow! Great interview.
His last statement is so wonderful.
Rogers was born in August 1904. He has to be 90 or 91 here. He sure doesn't look or act it.
Wow - no he doesn't.
I thought the same thing! By the way, did you know that his adopted son was also
named Ronald, as you & I are?
@@rongendron8705 you guys should should meet up with him and call yourself the Ronald triplets
He truly loved Mary Pickford and they were married many years. She was the greatest of the GREAT and
Always will be !
2020 TCM Backlot membership was approved and granted to me ( Laventure Alix) in a letter ✉️💌. Great video 👍📸.
So handsome no wonder Mary Pickford fell.for him
He sure is frisky and alert! A pleasure to see him and hear his anecdotes.
Honey lol Love it!!
Lol. Yes, he was from a generation where it was common for a father to call his children (girl or boy) honey. It was a term of endearment.
@@tbec3011 Honey, I'm from the south. I know a term of endearment when I hear one lol jk, but I am from the south 😉
He was 90 when this filmed $75.00 a week in 1927 was $1,259.90 today great money for a first film!
True, that was big bucks then. My mom got an autographed picture from him in the 30's.
Saving this for Xmas - a real treat!
I love Buddy Rogers.
I saw Buddy Rogers when I stayed at the Hollywood Roosevelt in the '80s. Not that it would have been appropriate, but I WISH I had taken the opportunity to shake his hand and say hello to HOLLYWOOD HISTORY.
He speaks like a Midwestern farm boy. Charming.
What an interesting & fun interview!
I saw WINGS and the movie he did with his wife, My Best Girl.
wow this a real trat thank you
I met him in the early 80s. He seemed like a very nice guy. Tiny guy.
Very good!. Not an autobiography....Just a bunch of good tidbits.
Wish he would have said more about Betty Grable. I know they did a couple movies together. She was my favorite musical blond.
He was drop dead 😍 gorgeous when he was a young man.
Interesting that Mary Pickford, "America's Sweetheart," was born in Canada!
5 girlfriends!!! Buddy was a busy boy in college!
A great all around guy, It sounds like he might have had an affair with Miss Bow!!
Something seems off about this guy - he needed a real single nevermarried woman. At least, he finally found love with Beverly Ricondo, his final wife.
He was off, alright. Pickford was his "beard," as was wife #2. His main squeeze was actor Matty Kemp, who died the same year as Rogers. Along the way, Rogers also had a tryst with Jeanette MacDonald's husband, Gene Raymond.
