There shouldn't even be a comparison between Brett and Downey Jr, one is playing The Great Detective and one playing an action hero who's only claim to popularity is the name of great icon. Jeremy is without a doubt the best Sherlock Holmes in my mind, if Conan Doyle could have seen how he played the part I reckon he would have believed it was as close to the man as an actor could come. Great actor and great person.
Just try to mute this video and play the song 'My heart will go on' from the film Titanic in another tab in the background and watch this video. It'll make the true JB fans cry.
@smokingSara There is no heaven or hell only what each person perceives them to be in their own little warped minds. A persons sexualitiy is no ones business but their own. RIP jeremy you gave pleasure to millions and have left a rich volume of work behind you
@smokingSara Here we go again. Another homophobic troll. What is it that attracts them to Jeremy's videos? It's not sinful to fall in love, is it? Grow up.
thank you so much for the pictures and memories...this man was a great actor, wonderful and full of life you could read him in all way.. walking , talking , those eyes, I am sorry as an American I did not see all of his work or even knew of him. Olivia, Burton...etc... have nothing on this man Jeremy Brett... sorry he has left us.
Everyone is entitled to their own take on classic characters - it's what keeps Shakespeare alive - I did like though Brett's nervousness in the part - I really believed this was a Sherlock Holmes taking cocaine. We should all be judged by our strengths, not our weaknesses.
Without a doubt the BEST Sherlock Holmes ever! He was a tremendous actor and very talented. Robert Downey Jr. is an all right actor but quite seriously does not hold a candle to Jeremy Brett as Sherlock Holmes.
I always thought that Basil Rathbone was THE Sherlock Holmes until I saw Jeremy in the television series. He was just perfect as Holmes. He captured the loveable arrogance that Rathbone did not show. I got addicted to the series, and was so shocked and pleased to see My Fair Lady again and recognize him as Freddie. Thanks so much for this tribute.
So nice of her to have helped him through dark days. Maybe she loves him ----didn't mean to discredit their relationship, just think everybody can't help loving Jeremy. I really think so.
siilygirl, ur awesome!! thanks for sharing so many wonderful pics of Jeremy. but I have difficulty recognizing him in his childhood pics with his siblings , can you tell us which one is him(in group photos)?? thanks
