Loving your stories and your delivery is endearing. A peek behind the scenes is so fun when you have no association with the business. Thank you for sharing Jill.
I loved the part about your dad and building the stables at Fort Jackson. I took basic training at Fort Jackson in the 70"s. I was a scared farm kid from Colorado. My first time away from home. Sadly, I never made it out to the stables. You truly have the gift; I love the way you bring these stories to life. I have been binge watching all your videos. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks so much for watching. I'm wondering if you saw my dad's billboard at Ft. Jackson? It said, "The more sweat in maneuvers the more blood. in combat." That place was so hot.
@@jilldaltonnyc7545 I don't remember the billboard. I was there in the dead of winter; it was anything but hot. It was very cold; those old wooden barracks had no heat. I went on to Fort Gordon and Fort Benning in Georgia. They were Hot.
I’m not sure which benevolent Algorithm God brought your channel to my feed, but you are a delight, a breath of fresh air in the midst of the geopolitical smog we’re all choking on. Thank you!
I agree! I have a high school friend who is a Broadway producer, formerly an actor. I was always impressed because he always knew what he wanted to be and I admired the fact that he made it happen and didn’t get discouraged. I met one of the performers on a cruise and asked him about what I thought was the most undesirable part of being and actor/dancer. “You don’t have any stability, you are ALWAYS chasing your next gig”. He didn’t seem to mind that aspect but he was quite young so maybe that changes with age. He assured me that I he performing community was connected and you could out out the word you were looking.
Ms. dalto, your video on George C.Scott was a random, yet wonderful PC item e on my youtube. Like you I grew up in military family, my dad was an elisted WW II vet. Patton is still one of my favodites, Scott was exceptional. My first a assignment as a 2nd Lt. was El Paso Texax. I. was waiting for a Haircut at the officer barber shop. when someone yelled Attention! Then an elderly man in uniform with 4stars was rolled in via wheel chair. It was Omar Brad!ey. I was awe struck, having seen the movie Patton I new what a great man he was. Loved your video, plan to watch mote.
What a wonderful story, Jill. Thank you. One of my close-but-no-cigar auditions in 1977 involved reading with Mr. Scott and Laurence Olivier as the Hitler clones in The Boys From Brazil. It was in a conference room in a beautiful, glass-enclosed office on Madison Avenue. I, too, had watched Patton many times with my father! He did not serve in WW2, though- long story. Anyway I was totally awestruck by Mr. Scott, he scared the crap out of me as we read the scene (from the film’s climax). I remember Mr. Olivier as being very sweet and fragile. And very old, at least to my 16 year old eyes. The right kid got the job in my opinion. Mr. Scott dropped out of the film before production started and was replaced by Gregory Peck. Sure, I was disappointed not to land the job but at least I got to read opposite Sir Laurence Olivier and especially George C Scott who was to play one of the Nazi elite. Maybe going from General Patton to Dr. Mengele was a bridge too far for him (you see what I did there?).
I can't imagine being 16 and reading a scene with Scott and Olivier. I doubt if the words would have come out of my mouth. Scott was at the heigh of his powers. I probably would have cried the entire time. lol
I definitely see what you did. I've seen all three of those films multiple times. Peck is my favorite actor and Audrey Hepburn my favorite actress. Both, exceptionally dignified and classy. So good together in Roman Holiday.
Your story of meeting George C Scott brought back one of my favorites memories of a day I spent with my father. Around 1988 he was filming a movie named The Ryan White Story in Statesville, NC. At the time I was a relatively young attorney with a criminal case in Iredell County to which my client had a good defense to the charges as filed although not a very good defense to a reduced charge which meant I needed to negotiate the charges down. To do that I needed to talk to the ADA face to face before trial. Since I lived in a county about an hour or so from Statesville, I scheduled an appointment with the ADA. On the day of the appointment I ask dad who had been retired for several years if he wanted to ride with me to the appointment. I didn't know at the time that the film company was filming the courtroom scenes at the courthouse in Iredell County. When we arrived at the courthouse the building was filled with the actors, film crew and equipment along with the usual crowd of defendants, attorneys, court personnel, etc since court was still being conducted as usual. I left dad in the foyer on the second floor and made my way back to the ADA's office to hopefully resolved my case. When I came out I couldn't find dad so I leaned against the railing of the stairs to let the crowd thin out. Just then the filming company finished a scene in the courtroom and came out into the foyer. Mr. Scott was in the crowd and came over and leaned against the railing beside me. I acknowledged his presences with a nod and smile but said nothing. After a minutes or so he looked at me and it seemed ok to speak to him, so I ask him if he was enjoying his time in North Carolina. He said he was and found it a nice place to visit. I ask him if he had been able to find a good restaurant and he said he had dined at two local restaurants that were very good. After that he seemed to be in thought and I stayed quiet not wishing to interrupt his thoughts. After a few minutes someone called the film crew back into the courtroom and he went back to work. My dad came over and ask me who I was talking to and if he was one of the judges. I said "no, that was Mr. Scott, one of the actors." He said, "oh, .... have you spoken to the person you came to see? I said, "yes," I then suggested we head home and maybe stop and have lunch. Dad and I had a nice ride to Statesville and lunch on the way home. Dad passed away about 8 years later. I'll never forget the day I meet Mr. Scott, the actor, and the day I spent with my father.
George C Scott had the same agent as James Dean. Her name was Jane Deacy. Deacy was upset for years at Dean's premature death. She kept his picture on her desk for years after his death. Scott allegedly got fed up seeing the picture and said he was leaving her if she did move on.
@@philipavello3925 Wow! I understand leaving his picture there. I had a neighbor down the hall who's father managed Dean in the early years in NYC, and Dean used to babysit her. I can't imagine.
Who was the agent? Was it Archer King? Thanks for your videos. I pondered becoming an actor in the 90s. Even did some extra film work and tv like Law and Order. I gave it up after a few years. Got tired of waiting around and the caste system. I am glad you found satisfaction in your art.
Jill, you are an incredible story teller, so entertaining the way you weave the plot lines together. I enjoy your channel so much. Thank you for this wonderful break in my day. Favorite George C. Scott film was Dr. Strangelove.
I guess I haven't seen that many George C. Scott movies but I do love his son, Campbell Scott. He usually steals the scene no matter how big his part is like in Dead Again or Music and Lyrics.
I can't stop watching your video's ...........they're very addictive for an old movie fan. I really liked George.......it's hard to say why you love an actor but there was something about him that drew you in. My all time favourite George C Scott movie is "They Might Be Giants", when he plays a guy who thinks he's Sherlock Holmes......it's just magical.
Love your Stories! I still haven't seen Dr Strangelove in its entirety, cause I Love Peter Sellers and seeing George C Scott in this classic in this Great avant-garde anti war film would be Great, plus I haven't seen Patten either. But I just love Scott's voice and that nose and eyes and that real powerful, charismatic old fashioned masculine energy of his is so strong, deep, rich, and attractive to behold!❤❤❤
Jill, I'm loving your stories more and more. Besides out LCD to the military, FT. Jackson, and NY Theater, I have found another. Gen. G.S.Paton himself. 1970 something, I believe it might have been 71. Me, Ft. Wolters Texas, Rotary Wing training...helicopter flight school, for the ARMY. Guess who was in that school with me, I think two classes behind me...George Jr. He was a Full Bird Colonel at the time, going through flight school. Only saw him once or twice, but he looked so much like his dad, it was uncanny. More so, was that he was a flight student, just like the rest of us who were 2nd Lt or Jr Warrant Officers.. ... Minor or moot point, perhaps, but a target to your posts... keep on keeping on. (Y)
In 1970 I was 10 it was a time when movies opened in Manhattan before they came to Brooklyn the opening weekend my father took me to Manhattan to see Patton and it was packed and we could only sit in the second row I thought we would leave because my father never put up with inconvenience he always had to sit on the aisle never in front but we stayed and both loved the movie till this day it is one of my favorite films I watch it whenever it's on my father died in 1981 while I was in the army your story made me remember the reason I love the film so much is that it's a great film I shared with my dad who I still miss very much thanks for rekindling very special memories
Wonderful story and thank you for sharing it with us. My favorite performance is in Arthur Hiller’s film of Paddy Chayefsky’s The Hospital, that shows his range for comedy, drama, pathos, tragedy and everything in between; the performance has amazed me for over 50 years since I first saw it at 12 years old.
I had a lousy day and ended it by doing my usual YouTubing. Your channel came up out of the blue so I watched. You are a fantastic storyteller, I was mesmerized and my spirits were lifted with laughs and smiles! I proceeded to watch several of your videos (I liked them that much) and subscribed immediately! By the way, you have a resemblance to June Lockhart when she was a bit younger. I think she is still alive but quite old. I’ll have to check. Looking forward to more tales!
Jill, what a fantastic story! I love everything about it! My mom and dad also served in Patton's Third Army in Germany. I think I'm going to have to watch this movie now! You've made it personal to me! Thank you!❤
Julia, I had no idea. You must watch this film. It is so brilliant and explains so much. Patton's Third Army was the fastest army ever in history. He was relentless, controversial, but won the war for us. I think it's time for me to watch it again.
Love your videos! My dad was a spy in the OSS during WW2. Before that he taught at the Cavalry School in Ft. Riley. He went to Patton at the end of the war to request help in saving the Lipizzaner Horses. They were being hauled off for food and farm work. Patton was helpful. Maybe your dad was a part of that.
I kept meaning to send a fan letter to Alan Arkin after I caught his sterling and relentless performance in a TV movie.He played a sane guy committed hopelessly for years to an insane asylum. Even while sensing he wasn't "long for this world" I just didn't. Thanj you for sharing your life. You are perfect. 💎
Random little Alan Arkin coincidence with my family. His two sons were in elementary school class in Oxnard, my mom was the teacher. They'd been in a little movie, they behaved how you might expect. Their mom used to help out at the school for mentally-handicapped my Dad ran in Avila Beach, really nice person. This was before my parents ever met.
@@RebekahCurielAlessi Practically grew up there, sadly beachfront was torn up & rebuilt in the 90's due to contamination but can still see the old Avila Beach by watching movies like "California Dreamin'"
I feel my dad around me from time to time. I used to smell cigarette smoke and his aftershave. I asked him to please stop smoking around me. lol Thanks for watching.
I've only just discovered your RUclips channel today, Ms Dalton, and -- pausing before watching this episode -- I realized that in the title screen's two-shot of George C. Scott on the left and yourself on the right; you could pass for actress June Lockhart's twin sister! 🤭
Great story. My favorite story is about his interview on a local Santa Barbara radio station with a lady who I met thanks to a friend of our family. During my brief stay at her home she recounted that at one point during her radio interview with Scott , she asked him about Nixon and what kind of job he thought the then president was doing. Scott answer that he thought that Nixon was doing a sh@%ty job. She was in shock because it was a live broadcast, not even a 5 second delay. So you can imagine how she felt, but without getting too political, I love Scott’s response to the question! I also regard Patton as one of my favorite films and remember watching it with my dad .He was in the Battle of the Bulge during WW2 . I’m also an actor of sorts, well actually an opera singer, but I still think that that qualifies as being an actor. In fact acting is all that I ever wanted to do from the time that I was 5 years old. Thank you fellow thespian for sharing your stories. They’re wonderful!!!
HI. I am the economist that posted in your William Hurt video. I totally agree that your father set it up for you. Physical reality is magic and your father was being a magician. I see an easel behind you. Do you paint as well? I am also a painter; mostly portraits.
I came across your channel as per it showing up on my RUclips page and I thought that name sounds familiar and then I remembered you from extra days - happy to see you are well - God bless!
First of all, many thanks for your father's service, and your growing up in that world. Sitting next to Scott would have been unsettling no matter what. It seems you did the best you could considering the emotional connection to your dad. Although I have heard of Gloria , I havent seen it, but I will watch it now. I cant possibly miss your scene after hearing the background ❤
Good day from Montreal ... Long long ago, I was a actor, but left it behind, and choose to work in healthcare, till my retirement in 2021 coz acting dont pay the bills, here in french Canada it is a very very small market for productions and it's always the same click, that can live of the craft.... but I still and will always, love actors, it's a breed of its own! A state of being! .... I dont know that many films of George C Scott...I associate his name to the films "The Yellow Rolls-Royce" "The Bible, in the Begining, as Abraham" and the role that dazzeld me the most, is in the film "Firestarter" acting the cold blood killer" ...That's about it :-) My english writing is terrible, hope you wont have to much trouble reading this... Have a great day ! :-)
My favorites? Not his most widely screened, or even applauded, but wonderful none the less. The Changeling with Scott and Van Devere. Every time I see a ball bounce down the stairs, the hair on my arms stands on end. Also Woodward and Scott in They Might Be Giants. Tickled the heck out of me and I think Scott should have done a serious Sherlock movie, too. For some reason I always think of Dear Heart with Page and Ford in the same category as They Might Be Giants. Same emotional vibes. George C. Scott was a wonderful actor.
I've never seen The Changeling because since watching The Exorcist I can't deal with horror movies. Scott was so great. They don't make them like that anymore.
"Jane Eyre":- Mr. Scott showed great sensitivity "Islands In The Stream":- Mr. Scott nailed his "Hemingway" character to the hilt . "A Christmas Carol":- Mr. Scott WAS Ebenezer Scrooge "Reflections Without Mirrors":- Mr. Scott captured Louis Nizer to the nines. "Rage":- the title alone captures George C. Scott. They broke the mould:- Mr. Scott; Sinatra; Connery; James Earl Jones; Streep; Daniel Day; Eastwood; Lancaster; Douglas; Susan Tyrell; Monroe; Matthau; they pass this way but once.
In 1979 a George C. Scott movie called Hardcore was released. Scott's character's daughter disappears into the scary world of 70's porn, and he goes to find her. It is an extremely underrated film. It was written by Paul Schrader, who also wrote Taxi Driver. I believe he directed it as well. If you ever come across it, watch it. Love your channel! You are a true raconteur!
I just watched this disturbing/artful film at this comment's suggestion. Holy moly!!! Really unsettling and also confirming with some great actors and the end filmed 2 blocks from my house here in San Francisco!!
What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing it! I mostly knew him as a television actor. I did see him in The Hindenburg, and as always, he turned in a high quality performance. 😊
"Patton" is, of course, GCS's Magnum Opus, an iconic role that arguably didn't require him to be brilliant, such was the logic of the casting (he managed to be brilliant anyway). But my personal favorites are 2 under-the radar gems: "The Flim Flam Man", 1967, and "They Might Be Giants", 1971. The man uses his comic chops, first on display in "Strangelove", to fantastic effect in both these flicks, though they they differ in tone. Shout out to his scene in "Oklahoma Crude" where he lets another character know precisely what his opinion of him was in a, well, spectacularly liquid manner...
Scott was a strong performer. I thought he was great in 'Hardcore' and of course, '12 Angry Men'. But one real sign how good he was is he took a movie like 'The Changeling' and made it into a good film.
Great story! I knew a woman who knew Patton's daughter. They became close and his daughter gave my friend one of of his coat buttons. This woman was a psychic and the Patton family believed in that sort of thing as well. We were driving in NYC looking for a parking space when she said, "I feel the General. He's going to find us a parking space." A few minutes later we found one!. It's too bad you weren't able to tell Scott about your father's belief in his portrayal of Patton.
I love that story. Yes, Patton believed in past lives. He believed he had fought many battles in other lifetimes and used what he learned to help win WW2. I love that about him. A spiritual warrior.
OMG. That was extraordinary. Excruciating for me to know you were so close and yet so far. That if you had been able to tell him that your Dad served under Patton and that Scott “done good” in the role - it would have meant the world to him. Those emotions sure can rise! And your letter just missing him - dang! But like me, you believe in our clever universe setting up perfect circumstances, as with the racetrack. I have no doubt Scott bumped into your Dad up there and your Dad said, “You gotta know what my daughter went through while sitting next to you! She made a video about it…Scott got to see your video and I’ll wager that he has also received assurances from Patton himself that he done good. Beautiful story. Thank you.
@@jilldaltonnyc7545 Ha ha! Thank you! I'm so glad you liked my scenario of the key players exchanging support and info in Spirit Land. LOVE that you feel your Dad around you all the time. You are combining irresistible elements beautifully - Fascinating show biz stories, practical career tips and spiritual wisdom. Engaging, honest, funny. I just watched your Giving Not Getting epiphany. Brilliant and helpful! As your Dad and Patton might say to George C. Scott...."Good job!" Thanks so much.
On a movie set in Toronto I met Mary Tyler Moore ... she apparently asked her manager who I was , I was 24 and she was 48 ... she offered me an apple from a tray ... I couldn't speak ... oh how I love older mature woman ... I will remember her forever . ❤
My dad abandoned me as a 2 year old child so my favorite George C. Scott movie would be "Islands in the Stream" as Scott's character in it was much the same type of father. I always wanted a dad so I think I modeled what I thought my dad might be after him.
@@jilldaltonnyc7545 I adore your channel and you as well. You're so uplifting and positive. I really think your stories would make for a great sitcom or even drama. The Bill Hurt one's shows you have great character. God bless you.
First I find out you saw John and Yoko on Columbus Ave near 72nd (The Dakota) - so did I - now you say your Dad served in Patton’s 3rd. Mine did too. My Dad passed on June 29, 2023. If you tell me you live on W74th this is gonna get weird.
I think he beat his first wife too. He was a horrible alcoholic and I read when he was on Broadway that he disappeared for a week. They had to go find him. That behavior wouldn''t fly today.
Wow, the acting industry has its own class system.....not allowed to talk to the big stars....... Then again, I can see why the discretion. Frankly, I have never been a big fan of Mr. Scott. . He can definately act. I am sure that I was influenced by the tales of him abusing women. Like the Ava Gardner stories. He is too gruff for me. Makes me think of my aversion to B. Cosby. I could never watch his shows. He gave me the creeps. Then the truth about him surfaced.....O.k., that explains it! Yes Jill, your dad really did resemble Mr. Scott! Love from the Connecticut Yankee!!! 💖🌈😻😻😻😻😻😻😻🌈💖
Yes Mr. Scott was a notorious alcoholic and abuser of women. I didn't know any of this when I watched Patton with my dad. I also learned to separate the artist from the personal. So many of these guys are horrible human beings. Thanks for being here.
@jilldaltonnyc, Well, in your profession you need to be able to separate the professional from the personal. I am not sure how well I could have handled that. From someone who knows, "some of them are horrible people." Sadly, people with very bad character are in every profession/walk of life!
He was also an alcoholic who used to disappear for a week at a time during rehearsals or the run of a Broadway. show. Actors can't get away with that stuff today.

I know. Crazy I tell you.
Great story! Of course Scott is great in Patton, but I also love him in Hardcore and The Hospital (and others, of course).
He was a brilliant actor.
Jill, you're a joy!
Thank you. Thanks for being here.
@@jilldaltonnyc7545 you're nothing but welcome, Jill! The pleasure is mine!
He was a great actor, he could make me believe he was anybody. In the hospital he played a doctor and nailed it so well.

George C Scott was a Marine. I think he felt a huge weight on his shoulders at having to portray the legendary general. What a great voice he had!.
Maybe because he never saw combat? They don't make them like Scott anymore.
Great story! There can be only one Gena Rowlands.
So true. No one like her before or since.
Another great story! I also love George C. Scott's work, especially Dr. Strangelove and the Changeling. Thanks!!
He was amazing.

Terrific, what a storyteller
Thank you for watching.
Great story. Jill, you have a gift as a storyteller
Thank you so much and thanks for listening.
Hahaha! Terrific!!
Thank you. I love me some George C Scott as Patton.
My favorite GC Scott film is Dr. Strangelove. And I LOVE these videos, Jill! Your energy and humor are delightful. Thank you.
Thanks, Sally. Mine is Patton. Duh.
Ms. D, you are delightful!
Thank you.
I also love GCS. My favorite is his performance in "The Hospital." If you haven't seen it you really should.
I don't think I've seen it and I need to. Thanks.
The Hospital is excellent! I can't believe so many people haven't seen it. Well worth the time...
Loved Scott in Patton. Just recently saw a TCM movie with him playing a Dr. opposite Julie Christie in the 70’s, it was quite good.
He was such a great actor.
Miss Dalton is a great story teller and funny too. She reminds me of my aunt.
Cool. Sounds like you have an interesting aunt.
Another Great story! Thankyou~

Oh Bloody Hell that had quite an Ending 😁
George C Scott’s best Role for me was in the Iconic Dr. Strangelove
Love your Stories! I still haven't seen Dr Strangelove in its entirety, cause I Love Peter Sellers and seeing George C Scott in this classic in this Great avant-garde anti war film would be Great, plus I haven't seen Patten either. But I just love Scott's voice and that nose and eyes and that real powerful, charismatic old fashioned masculine energy of his is so strong, deep, rich, and attractive to behold!❤❤❤
They don't make them like that anymore. He was amazing.
Jill, I'm loving your stories more and more. Besides out LCD to the military, FT. Jackson, and NY Theater, I have found another. Gen. G.S.Paton himself. 1970 something, I believe it might have been 71. Me, Ft. Wolters Texas, Rotary Wing training...helicopter flight school, for the ARMY. Guess who was in that school with me, I think two classes behind me...George Jr. He was a Full Bird Colonel at the time, going through flight school. Only saw him once or twice, but he looked so much like his dad, it was uncanny. More so, was that he was a flight student, just like the rest of us who were 2nd Lt or Jr Warrant Officers.. ... Minor or moot point, perhaps, but a target to your posts... keep on keeping on. (Y)
Dan, that's amazing. I didn't realize he had a son. I wonder where he is now. Small world.
@@jilldaltonnyc7545 Have to think probably dead by now, that was 53 plus years ago. lol
@@danosso5263 Yes, I googled him. He died in 2004 at the age of 80. He served in the Korean and Vietnam wars.
What a great story! Thank you.
Thank you.
In 1970 I was 10 it was a time when movies opened in Manhattan before they came to Brooklyn the opening weekend my father took me to Manhattan to see Patton and it was packed and we could only sit in the second row I thought we would leave because my father never put up with inconvenience he always had to sit on the aisle never in front but we stayed and both loved the movie till this day it is one of my favorite films I watch it whenever it's on my father died in 1981 while I was in the army your story made me remember the reason I love the film so much is that it's a great film I shared with my dad who I still miss very much thanks for rekindling very special memories
I love that. I wonder how many have bonded over this great film?
Wonderful story and thank you for sharing it with us. My favorite performance is in Arthur Hiller’s film of Paddy Chayefsky’s The Hospital, that shows his range for comedy, drama, pathos, tragedy and everything in between; the performance has amazed me for over 50 years since I first saw it at 12 years old.
Thank you. I've never seen that film. I'm going to see if I can stream it. Chayefsky is so brilliant.
@@jilldaltonnyc7545 I agree, Scott is unforgettable as Patton, in The Hospital he is beyond brilliant.
Riveting !!! You nail it everytime !!
Thanks, Greta. xoxo
I've just shared this on facebook and encouraged friends to subscribe, you deserve so many more subscribers, beautiful and well paced post.
Thanks for doing that, Mark. I appreciate it.
I had a lousy day and ended it by doing my usual YouTubing. Your channel came up out of the blue so I watched. You are a fantastic storyteller, I was mesmerized and my spirits were lifted with laughs and smiles! I proceeded to watch several of your videos (I liked them that much) and subscribed immediately! By the way, you have a resemblance to June Lockhart when she was a bit younger. I think she is still alive but quite old. I’ll have to check. Looking forward to more tales!
Thank you so much for watching. Yes, now that I'm older I do get June Lockhart. LOL
@@jilldaltonnyc7545 I looked it up - June Lockhart is 99!
Jill, what a fantastic story! I love everything about it! My mom and dad also served in Patton's Third Army in Germany. I think I'm going to have to watch this movie now! You've made it personal to me! Thank you!❤
Julia, I had no idea. You must watch this film. It is so brilliant and explains so much. Patton's Third Army was the fastest army ever in history. He was relentless, controversial, but won the war for us. I think it's time for me to watch it again.
Top ten favorite movie of all time,Patton.
Mine too.
Love your videos! My dad was a spy in the OSS during WW2. Before that he taught at the Cavalry School in Ft. Riley. He went to Patton at the end of the war to request help in saving the Lipizzaner Horses. They were being hauled off for food and farm work. Patton was helpful. Maybe your dad was a part of that.
That's amazing. I wish my dad was still around so I could ask him.
I kept meaning to send a fan letter to Alan Arkin after I caught his sterling and relentless performance in a TV movie.He played a sane guy committed hopelessly for years to an insane asylum.
Even while sensing he wasn't "long for this world" I just didn't.
Thanj you for sharing your life. You are perfect.
💎
Teaches us to act on our impulses. I know he would have appreciated your letter.
Random little Alan Arkin coincidence with my family. His two sons were in elementary school class in Oxnard, my mom was the teacher. They'd been in a little movie, they behaved how you might expect. Their mom used to help out at the school for mentally-handicapped my Dad ran in Avila Beach, really nice person. This was before my parents ever met.
@@rbus aw. Cute. And I love Avila Beach!! ⛱️
@@RebekahCurielAlessi Practically grew up there, sadly beachfront was torn up & rebuilt in the 90's due to contamination but can still see the old Avila Beach by watching movies like "California Dreamin'"
@@rbus 😊
Amazjng ending. Great story!
I'm so glad you liked it. xoxo
Strangelove and Patton are absolutely sensational movies and Scott was magnificent in them both.
Agree. What an actor. They don't make them like him anymore.
What a great story! I too believe the dearly departed have some control over our fate, and they have a sense of humour. Thanks for sharing! 😄
I feel my dad around me from time to time. I used to smell cigarette smoke and his aftershave. I asked him to please stop smoking around me. lol Thanks for watching.
Wonderful!
Thank you so much.
Again... edge of my seat storytelling! ❤
Glad you enjoy it, Matt.
I've only just discovered your RUclips channel today, Ms Dalton, and -- pausing before watching this episode -- I realized that in the title screen's two-shot of George C. Scott on the left and yourself on the right; you could pass for actress June Lockhart's twin sister! 🤭
I've gotten the June Lockhart reference before. LOL. Thanks for watching.
Brilliant recollections and storytelling! Thanks for humanizing.
Thanks for watching.
@@jilldaltonnyc7545 of course😊
Great story.
My favorite story is about his interview on a local Santa Barbara radio station with a lady who I met thanks to a friend of our family. During my brief stay at her home she recounted that at one point during her radio interview with Scott , she asked him about Nixon and what kind of job he thought the then president was doing. Scott answer that he thought that Nixon was doing a sh@%ty job. She was in shock because it was a live broadcast, not even a 5 second delay. So you can imagine how she felt, but without getting too political, I love Scott’s response to the question!
I also regard Patton as one of my favorite films and remember watching it with my dad .He was in the Battle of the Bulge during WW2 .
I’m also an actor of sorts, well actually an opera singer, but I still think that that qualifies as being an actor. In fact acting is all that I ever wanted to do from the time that I was 5 years old.
Thank you fellow thespian for sharing your stories. They’re wonderful!!!
Love the Scott story. He was such a salty guy. Opera singer. Now that takes years of training and discipline. So glad you found my channel.
@@jilldaltonnyc7545
Your encounters with actors are the stuff that dreams are made.
HI. I am the economist that posted in your William Hurt video. I totally agree that your father set it up for you. Physical reality is magic and your father was being a magician. I see an easel behind you. Do you paint as well? I am also a painter; mostly portraits.
My mother was a painter and that is a portrait she did of me. Thanks for your insights.
I came across your channel as per it showing up on my RUclips page and I thought that name sounds familiar and then I remembered you from extra days - happy to see you are well - God bless!
Glad you found my channel, Justin. I think the algorithm has decided to grace me with her presence. Welcome.
First of all, many thanks for your father's service, and your growing up in that world.
Sitting next to Scott would have been unsettling no matter what. It seems you did the best you could considering the emotional connection to your dad.
Although I have heard of Gloria , I havent seen it, but I will watch it now. I cant possibly miss your scene after hearing the background ❤
Thanks so much. Don't blink or you might miss me.
Thank you for taking us into your world. I have done a few set design jobs in my hometown Baltimore. I really appreciate your sharing your story
Horses and classic actors! This made my day
Oh, good. Glad to hear it.
Good day from Montreal ... Long long ago, I was a actor, but left it behind, and choose to work in healthcare, till my retirement in 2021 coz acting dont pay the bills, here in french Canada it is a very very small market for productions and it's always the same click, that can live of the craft.... but I still and will always, love actors, it's a breed of its own! A state of being! .... I dont know that many films of George C Scott...I associate his name to the films "The Yellow Rolls-Royce" "The Bible, in the Begining, as Abraham" and the role that dazzeld me the most, is in the film "Firestarter" acting the cold blood killer" ...That's about it :-) My english writing is terrible, hope you wont have to much trouble reading this... Have a great day ! :-)
Yes, the idea I had about being an actor is so different than the reality of being an actor. It's not an easy life.
Good yarn JD. 👊
Thank you.
My favorites? Not his most widely screened, or even applauded, but wonderful none the less. The Changeling with Scott and Van Devere. Every time I see a ball bounce down the stairs, the hair on my arms stands on end. Also Woodward and Scott in They Might Be Giants. Tickled the heck out of me and I think Scott should have done a serious Sherlock movie, too. For some reason I always think of Dear Heart with Page and Ford in the same category as They Might Be Giants. Same emotional vibes. George C. Scott was a wonderful actor.
I've never seen The Changeling because since watching The Exorcist I can't deal with horror movies. Scott was so great. They don't make them like that anymore.
"Jane Eyre":- Mr. Scott showed great sensitivity
"Islands In The Stream":- Mr. Scott nailed his "Hemingway" character to the hilt .
"A Christmas Carol":- Mr. Scott WAS Ebenezer Scrooge
"Reflections Without Mirrors":- Mr. Scott captured Louis Nizer to the nines.
"Rage":- the title alone captures George C. Scott.
They broke the mould:- Mr. Scott; Sinatra; Connery; James Earl Jones; Streep; Daniel Day; Eastwood; Lancaster; Douglas; Susan Tyrell; Monroe; Matthau; they pass this way but once.
I stumbled upon Scot's Scrooge on Christmas and almost didn't watch but I'm so glad I did. He blew me away. Best Christmas Carol ever.
His Mr. Rochester in the umpteenth remake of 'Jane Eyre' is pitch perfect imo.
It's time for me to do a GCS retrospective.
That was a touching story thank you. I think my favorite is Dr. Strangelove.
I'm so glad you enjoyed the story. And you're right, Dr. Strangelove is amazing. Thanks for being here.
@@jilldaltonnyc7545 thank you
In 1979 a George C. Scott movie called Hardcore was released. Scott's character's daughter disappears into the scary world of 70's porn, and he goes to find her. It is an extremely underrated film. It was written by Paul Schrader, who also wrote Taxi Driver. I believe he directed it as well. If you ever come across it, watch it.
Love your channel!
You are a true raconteur!
I've never even heard of that film. I'll have to check it out. I hope it's not as brutal as Taxi Driver.
I just watched this disturbing/artful film at this comment's suggestion.
Holy moly!!!
Really unsettling and also confirming with some great actors and the end filmed 2 blocks from my house here in San Francisco!!
@@RebekahCurielAlessi 2 blocks away. Small world.
What a wonderful story. Thank you for sharing it! I mostly knew him as a television actor. I did see him in The Hindenburg, and as always, he turned in a high quality performance. 😊
Now you need to watch Patton.
Scott was as fine an actor as we've ever produced. Nice man..l met him in a coffee shop in 1990.
They don't make actors like Scott anymore. He was so brilliant. So cool you got to meet him like that.
"Patton" is, of course, GCS's Magnum Opus, an iconic role that arguably didn't require him to be brilliant, such was the logic of the casting (he managed to be brilliant anyway).
But my personal favorites are 2 under-the radar gems: "The Flim Flam Man", 1967, and "They Might Be Giants", 1971. The man uses his comic chops, first on display in "Strangelove", to fantastic effect in both these flicks, though they they differ in tone.
Shout out to his scene in "Oklahoma Crude" where he lets another character know precisely what his opinion of him was in a, well, spectacularly liquid manner...
I need to do a GCS retrospective. He did so many great parts.
Scott was a strong performer. I thought he was great in 'Hardcore' and of course, '12 Angry Men'. But one real sign how good he was is he took a movie like 'The Changeling' and made it into a good film.
He was an amazing actor.
My favorite Scott film was The Changeling He was so good
I've never seen it. I can't deal with horror movies.
They Might Be Giants. Great, great film, which, I think, REALLY showed Scott's acting range. Starring Scott, Joanna Woodward, and Jack Gilford.
I need to rewatch that film. It's been a very long time.
Love these stories. My favorite George C Scott performance much to his chagrin would be Dr. Strangelove. Stay classy.
Interesting. I think lots of people like his performant in Strangelove.
@@jilldaltonnyc7545He was probably better in Patton, The Hustler, etc. He was just hilarious in Strangelove.
Great story! I knew a woman who knew Patton's daughter. They became close and his daughter gave my friend one of of his coat buttons. This woman was a psychic and the Patton family believed in that sort of thing as well. We were driving in NYC looking for a parking space when she said, "I feel the General. He's going to find us a parking space." A few minutes later we found one!. It's too bad you weren't able to tell Scott about your father's belief in his portrayal of Patton.
I love that story. Yes, Patton believed in past lives. He believed he had fought many battles in other lifetimes and used what he learned to help win WW2. I love that about him. A spiritual warrior.
OMG. That was extraordinary. Excruciating for me to know you were so close and yet so far. That if you had been able to tell him that your Dad served under Patton and that Scott “done good” in the role - it would have meant the world to him. Those emotions sure can rise! And your letter just missing him - dang! But like me, you believe in our clever universe setting up perfect circumstances, as with the racetrack. I have no doubt Scott bumped into your Dad up there and your Dad said, “You gotta know what my daughter went through while sitting next to you! She made a video about it…Scott got to see your video and I’ll wager that he has also received assurances from Patton himself that he done good. Beautiful story. Thank you.
I love how you moved the story forward. Makes me so happy. I feel my dad around me all the time. Thanks for your insights.
@@jilldaltonnyc7545 Ha ha! Thank you! I'm so glad you liked my scenario of the key players exchanging support and info in Spirit Land. LOVE that you feel your Dad around you all the time. You are combining irresistible elements beautifully - Fascinating show biz stories, practical career tips and spiritual wisdom. Engaging, honest, funny. I just watched your Giving Not Getting epiphany. Brilliant and helpful! As your Dad and Patton might say to George C. Scott...."Good job!" Thanks so much.
On a movie set in Toronto I met Mary Tyler Moore ... she apparently asked her manager who I was , I was 24 and she was 48 ... she offered me an apple from a tray ... I couldn't speak ... oh how I love older mature woman ... I will remember her forever . ❤
I met her too. I was standing in on some project and she was there and what a kind and loving woman.
My dad abandoned me as a 2 year old child so my favorite George C. Scott movie would be "Islands in the Stream" as Scott's character in it was much the same type of father. I always wanted a dad so I think I modeled what I thought my dad might be after him.
Amazing how a movie, a character, a book can bring us comfort and a way to help us with our lives. I think Scott would love that.
@@jilldaltonnyc7545 I adore your channel and you as well. You're so uplifting and positive. I really think your stories would make for a great sitcom or even drama. The Bill Hurt one's shows you have great character. God bless you.
You are SO adorable.
Thank you.
@@jilldaltonnyc7545 Seriously! I enjoy every one of your posts. You have some GREAT stories and a magnetic presence that makes one want to hear them.
The Changeling ( horror movie) was one of George c Scott best. movie
I've never seen that film. Watching The Exorcist back in the 70s scared me so horribly that I don't watch horror movies anymore. lol
@@jilldaltonnyc7545 it’s more eerie than anything. Not the level of horror the Exorcist
always have been a fan of scott though not of patton. Dr strangelove was my favorite performance by him.⚛
He was a real one. Hollywood could use a lot more GCS
One of the greats IMHO.
First I find out you saw John and Yoko on Columbus Ave near 72nd (The Dakota) - so did I - now you say your Dad served in Patton’s 3rd. Mine did too. My Dad passed on June 29, 2023. If you tell me you live on W74th this is gonna get weird.
You seem to have had a wonderful career.
Thanks. It's had its ups and downs. They key is to keep going and not take it personally.
I also have a problem with all of the re-makes. I have only seen trailers of Scott's iconic roles.
Do yourself a favor and watch Patton. He is so iconic.
Thank you! I will look for 'Patton'. I watched your scene in 'Gloria' at the racetrack on Tubi. 😊
Too many carbs! Very funny
Glad you liked it.
Jill, you didn't say how George C Scott beat up Ava Gardner and left her battered and bruised. He was a bully and a woman beater.
I think he beat his first wife too. He was a horrible alcoholic and I read when he was on Broadway that he disappeared for a week. They had to go find him. That behavior wouldn''t fly today.
Wow, the acting industry has its own class system.....not allowed to talk to the big stars....... Then again, I can see why the discretion.
Frankly, I have never been a big fan of Mr. Scott. . He can definately act. I am sure that I was influenced by the tales of him abusing women. Like the Ava Gardner stories. He is too gruff for me. Makes me think of my aversion to B. Cosby. I could never watch his shows. He gave me the creeps. Then the truth about him surfaced.....O.k., that explains it!
Yes Jill, your dad really did resemble Mr. Scott!
Love from the
Connecticut Yankee!!!
💖🌈😻😻😻😻😻😻😻🌈💖
Yes Mr. Scott was a notorious alcoholic and abuser of women. I didn't know any of this when I watched Patton with my dad. I also learned to separate the artist from the personal. So many of these guys are horrible human beings. Thanks for being here.
@jilldaltonnyc,
Well, in your profession you need to be able to separate the professional from the personal. I am not sure how well I could have handled that.
From someone who knows, "some of them are horrible people."
Sadly, people with very bad character are in every profession/walk of life!
sharon stone : oy vetch.
I just rewatched the movie and it was much better than I remembered it to be including Sharon.
You have beautiful hands
Thank you.
It’s gotta be _Petulia_. I wanted Archie to love _me_, but instead he loved Julie Christie and Shirley Knight 😢
Talk about talking to the camera as if it's a person!!! (I'd listen to this lady tell a story about the phone book -- but what the f is a phone book?)
LOL! I hope I don't have to recite the phone book. So glad we don't have those anymore.
I thought he was excellent as the assistant prosecutor in Anatomy of a Murder.
Another good one that I need to rewatch.
@@jilldaltonnyc7545 my favorite Jimmy Stewart movie. They all were great. Arthur OConnell should have had an Oscar nod.
And all the women he beat up???
He was also an alcoholic who used to disappear for a week at a time during rehearsals or the run of a Broadway. show. Actors can't get away with that stuff today.
Who said that rank doesn't provide privilege?
Exactly.
Soooooo, how much did you charge? 😂
LOL.
I tend to agree with you
re Hollywood remakes.
Mostly they are inferior, unnecessary + disappointing
Can you imagine doing a remake of Patton? LOL
