whatever their sexual preferences, it's obvious that their marriage was not only convenient but also suffused with warmth, humor, understanding and mutual admiration. both odd ducks and an oddly good fit--
@moiraregis i heard he was a real perverted asshole, but i dont know much about him, never cared much for him.. but i like her, even if her parents were socialists
She is great,so charming and fun! Loved her childhood rememberance! She is dignified and yet completely approachable! I had such a crush on her years ago.When she was a young woman she was a beauty!!!!
What a delightful interview. I've read Elsa's autobiography. What a life...and what a character. Always entertaining, witty & outspoken. A fun & never boring lady, that's for sure! THANKS so much for sharing this fabulous footage with us! You've made my day & my week! Cheers! :)
In her written bio-Elsa wrote of Isadora as being quite mad,and not that great a dancer-but perhaps her greatest talent ,Elsa thought,was helping to free woman from the straight and strict Victorians ideas.
Thanks, I'll have to read it one day. I always knew her from "The Bride of Frankenstein" and all her television appearances in the 1960's and 1970's. Now, its fun to watch her on DVDs in her 30's, 40's and 50's movie roles.
She's hilarious! I love her. She doesn't hide anything. I love the albums that she put out "Songs for a Smoke Filled Room" etc... this interview shows that side of her.... the playful, upfront, honest, brilliant woman she was.
Anhacus, you say that she was a lovely person, but your original comment was so nasty. Why? Do you usually say stuff like that about people? I never said she was a nun. I'm sure she had her negatives, but treat people with respect. None of us are perfect. You can criticize someone without being unpleasant about it.
To think that she was married to actor Charles Laughton a/k/a "The Hunchback of Norte Dame." The Bride of Frankenstein and the Hunchback. What a pair. LOL
I know she was a lovely person, but you're awfully naive to think she was some kind of nun. You need to do your research on Hollywood. You will be amazed.
ELSA is/was a charm ....

Cavett seems not to know quite what to do with her -- I think she's a little outside of his comfort zone. Too bad, I think she's fascinating.

Not so remarkable that she stayed married. She was a lesbian. It was a marriage of professional convenience.

How remarkable that she stayed married even though Charles was a homosexual...until his death of course

What is the need to say things like that? I'm related to Elsa and it is very hurtful to hear someone talk about her like that.
