@stripedshirts Have you seen Social Network? I think that dark haired kid should play Tony Perkins in a biopic! I couldn't help thinking how much he resmbled him. : )
@1bol390 That's Good casting! What a smart idea. Wouldn't it be terrific if someone could make a narrative biopic about the Summer of 1965 on Malibu? Since Dominick Dunne was actually there, his books could be the foundation... very interesting possibillity!
@1bol390 Who knows what might happen? Chris Murray, son of Don Murray and Hope Lange, has contacted us- he's one of the kids in the footage- so is his childhood friend Griffin Dunne... and George Axelrod's daughter has contacted us as well. It would be great to shoot them on the same spot today and edit them into the cut of our documentary... have you seen our assembly here on our channel? Title is:
soapbxprod they also have many other parodies as well such as Julia Child and Julie Andrews hashing it out lol. Check out my favorites. I hope I'm not talking to much or asking too many questions.
@MrDennisatthebeach Exactly! Not nasty or malicious! Just fun- like a Frank Gorshin impression! The guy who made it is so talented- he does a great Judy!
I can't image footage like this today. Stars today would have a PR team in tow. I adore the style! Casual Chic at it's best. No one would dress like this today. 2000's so trashy.
@BarrieMil I'd love to see the finished film you're working on. These are amazing. I remember Judy rented a Malibu bungalow that summer. She was with one of those much younger men. I think she married him for about 15 minutes. One clip had a brunette in a yellow 2 piece & sunglasses. Was it Jennifer Jones?
Joan Axelrod was a dear friend (I knew her when she Stanton). She was a helluva hostess herself. Remember many parties on their big lawn. Again thanks for the memories.
Are we really sure the old dear is Gladys Cooper? To me she more resembles Cathleen Nesbitt. Hard to tell between the quick shots & no one wearing any makeup. By the way, it seems about 90% of these people are puffing away on fags. Lovely colour, probably Kodachrome II.
@dennman6 It is most definately Gladys Cooper (She was a friend's Aunt. And full of hell, too!) These films are fascinating. I see Freddie and Polly Fields and so many others whose names escape me. Thanks so much for posting.
nobody's really dressed up--'just' casual chic'--they are all having a break from their star personas--which can get pretty wearing. Roddy provided a place just to hang out & have hot dogs--much more genius than any fancy party. Perkins so handsome even in shorts--he and Roddy were great friends. I think that he is saying 'f----r' good naturedly to the camera man (Roddy). Thank goodness we have these images!! More important, glad the stars had a fun place from their pressure filled lives.
@xXsamiiiXx Well after all, it was 46 years ago! A long time past... But the quality of the Kodachrome images makes it look as if it were shot last summer...
these 'parties' really get to gethers were, I think, more popular than any other get togethers--Roddy figured out that stars just needed to hang out have a hot dog and chat---no fancy costumes, jewelry or bullshit. They have to take a break from their personas too!! Check out Dunne's book on this.
I don't care who was at this party Judy Garland is here I would have been following her all day at that party and asking her ton's of questions about her career ,over the rainbow, Liza ,everything and anything also I would've also been talking to Natalie Wood non stop also both beautiful women both doe eyed both brunnettes wow ..people were more classy back then especially women.
@cinderelmo Not even David Selznick? LOL- he's no doe eyed brunette, but he did make Gone with the Wind! Natalie is my favorite actress of ALL TIME- and Judy... The great chanteuse of the 20th Century! Who even came close? :)!
@soapbxprod Well yes I would talk to him okay he may not be a doe eyed brunette lol cause Judy and Natalie kinda look alike the doe eyes but yes I would talk to him about the movie and Clark gable and Viven Leigh and yes that was the year Judy made the wizard of oz, but come on Judy Garland wow she is one of the great cinematic beauties and Natalie Wood come on and yes of course I would ask Rock Hudson about Doris day I suppose and talk to handsome Anthony Perkins and talk to Lauren Bacall.
@soapbxprod and talk to Lauren Bcall about Bogie obviously as well I think and Jane Fonda about her career but I would have been mesmerized by Judy Garland out of all the people there she had such a great mystique about her not just because of her career etc. or music, she had an aura about her kinda like Michael Jackson just magic you know, her voice was so beautiful and Natalie Wood also had like a mystique not the same like Judy's but they were both really elusive to me and in their films.
@snakey319 Courtesy of another loyal viewer! They posted the answer on the clip with Dominick Dunne, Natalie, and Blatnik sitting together giving the "fingernail off the teeth" screw you gesture!
@snakey319 His name is Ladslavik Blatnik. He was engaged to her in '65. The following year she met Richard Gregson. They had a brief marriage in the early '70s, that produced a daughter. 3 months after divorcing Gregson, she remarried Wagner.
The surprising thing about these films is that love abounds for these performers. It isn't as if we are voyeurs, it is as if we are grateful for their talents, and this is a history of the celeb phenom that brings us close to them as people, not just celebs.
@soapbxprod French?Always thought Suzanne was Russian Jewish? My aunt used to go to the same temple as her folks on the UWS. Thanks for posting these vids. They are just fascinating. Everyone is so naturally elegant and attractive. Today's 'celebs' could learn a thing.... or three.
@ssinnyny I'm an Upper West Wider too! 124 West 79th Street. Until my folks moved across the park to 81st between 5th and Madison. Went to Ethical Culture & Fieldston- all my best friends lived all over the UWS! Love to you this Christmas season, and Happy New Year! Luke Sacher
I love how some of them are very covered up. They probably were shooting a film and couldn't get too much sun. I sent these to my friend who is a costume designer. She said it is very hard to find original examples of casual wear like this. She loved them. So thanks!
@brooklynborn81 Certainly is! And David Selznick doing the crossword! And... Robert Walker Jr. her son is in one of our clips too- with Juliet Mills...
@brooklynborn81 Know them both- Juliet is Hayley's sister- both are daughters of John! And Star Trek- my uncle Tony Call was in the pilot- "The Corbomite Maneuver",,,
Was wondering who the girl in the light teal blue check pants is with the black hair in the kerchief? Sitting with a man. BTW love all these clothes they're sporting... Good Grief! It's like a fashion show.
Loved seeing Judy Garland, wow...... What a moment in more innocent times.
Anyone notice in another movie of the Lighter Fluid being poured on someone's feet., Being close to Galveston, Texas. I recognize that there must have been Tar on the beaches.. Couldn't ever imagine it being in Malibu.... the 1960's..... DRILLING must have been going on everywhere.
@happels Oh sure! There were oil drilling derricks and pumps all over Santa Monica, Venice, Culver City, and down the coast- remember in "Touch of Evil"?
Loved seeing Suzanne Pleshette... Mom told me years ago, that she and my dad were in Vegas I believe in Dec 1973. She saw Suzanne in a gift shop, and mom had already taken most of who's who of Hollywood's .... From George Burns, to Morey Amsterdam to Rosalyn Russell. Suzanne, though begged my Mom to not take her picture, that her hair was a mess and no makeup on,, My mom obliged. Suzanne and others famous alumni were there for Tina Sinatra's wedding taking place there at the time.
@listentome94 - love Jane, but it is certainly NATALIE who is the stunning vivacious beauty that all eyes are drawn to. You cannot NOT look at her and want more.
thank you so much for posting these, truly a treasure! it's almost surreal to see all of them in color and conversing as friends. makes it look like it was taken just last week.
@superhetoric Wait until you see the uncompressed Digital Betacam telecine masters in the feature length doc- these are just U-Matic SP window dubs uploaded to YouTube!
as a "movie freak" , it is a great pleasure seeing all those movie people hang out so effortless with eachother. i wonder if todays movie folks hang out like this?? Natalie Wood & Jane Fonda are both looking gorgeous in this clip !! Jane @4:21 LOL.
How fantastic! I've been sent back in time... And then there is Stewart Stern ("Rebel", Sybil", " Rachel,Rachel", The Rack"), Elliot Kastner, Serena Stewart with Tom Tryon, Tom Mankiewicz, and Ladisloff Blatnic (sp.?) with Nalalie.
I see that that older woman is the great Gladys Cooper. Amazing that that space literally forces everyone to have to talk to one another. It must have been a lot of fun.
@elfinmajictime Thanks! we are in touch with Don Murray and Hope Lange's son Chris, who is also friends with Griffin Dunne- they are both in many of the clips,
@JudygarlandRulez15 Judy... what can ya say? That TV show she had used to scare my folks- they thought that she would crack in half right in the middle of every one!
@JudygarlandRulez15 Hello- if you look for my name on the iMDB, and read the past comments here, you will have your answer! Long story short- family friend! Luke Sacher
Of course, nothing can surpass that time for casual elegance. The people are thin, not overly fit, just well toned. The women are feminine and still have some propriety and the guys have not yet succumbed to the hippie ugliness that destroyed men's style for a generation. They had broken free of the 1950s and were poised to live in a modern, liberated era.
@MyBonnieblue Natalie Wood... no other woman comes close, except for my wife Martha- who looks a lot like Barbara Stanwyck! Robert Wagner narrated our biography of Lana Turner, which is also here on our channel page.
@mylesag2 Although I can't quite imagine her at this kind of gathering, the woman in yellow/white looks quite a bit like Barbara Steele of so many Hammer films, and 8-1/2, but also Roger Corman "Poe" films, like PIT AND THE PENDULUM.
@ricola3333 Barbara Steele? How interesting. But I think in the mid-60s, she was doing some Italian horror films. So it would be kinda odd to find her mixing with the 'smart set' of Hollywood at the time.
@SageOnHudson That is spot on! Just uploaded a clip featuring him obsessed with a crossword puzzle- think that clip was a week before he died. Jennifer Jones is all over these clips too.
Do you happen to know who the beautiful couple is at 2:36? I can't place them, the woman looks sorta like Natalie. I think I may kick myself when I find out!
@ricola3333 Great! Thought he looked familiar- loved 'The Cardinal'. Still at a loss for the girl though, I don't think it's Anjanette Comer, but I could be wrong.
fairly interesting side note(!) at 4:37 Janice Rule and Ben Gazzara are both dressed in yellow- in another clip they are both in orange- wonder if this was a conscious decision! lol
just watched this clip again- it's rare to find footage of people like Tuesday Weld these days- here she's really beautiful and looks really interesting. And the shot of Tuesday, Judy Garland, Lauren Bacall and Rock Hudson- talk about an interesting cast- woah, to be a fly on the wall at one of these things!
I read Sal Mineo's biography last year sometime and I think they tried to convey this period- where the movie stars would hang out on at the beach- it's great to see some footage of this.

Anyone wondering who the woman is in the purple shirt, that's Lenny Dunne, Dominick's wife and Dominique's mother.

Of course, nothing can surpass that time for casual elegance. The people are thin, not overly fit, just well toned. The women are feminine and still have some propriety and the guys have not yet succumbed to the hippie ugliness that destroyed men's style for a generation. They had broken free of the 1950s and were poised to live in a modern, liberated era.

@MyBonnieblue Natalie Wood... no other woman comes close, except for my wife Martha- who looks a lot like Barbara Stanwyck! Robert Wagner narrated our biography of Lana Turner, which is also here on our channel page.

Who's the dame in the white slacks, yellow blouse and straw hat w/ yellow thingies attached to it?
P.S. Sorry, I think Edith Piaf was the GREATEST chanteuse of the 20th century!

@mylesag2 That's a great choice! My favorite is... Keely Smith! As to the dame in the straw hat- we're trying to remember! Sometimer's Disease! LOL

@mylesag2 Although I can't quite imagine her at this kind of gathering, the woman in yellow/white looks quite a bit like Barbara Steele of so many Hammer films, and 8-1/2, but also Roger Corman "Poe" films, like PIT AND THE PENDULUM.
ricola3333 5 months ago
@ricola3333 Barbara Steele? How interesting. But I think in the mid-60s, she was doing some Italian horror films. So it would be kinda odd to find her mixing with the 'smart set' of Hollywood at the time.

The older man with the silver hair in the sky-blue shirt is David O. Selznick, producer of "Gone with the Wind."
At the time these home movies were shot (5/31/1965), he had exactly twenty-three days to live; he died of a heart attack on June 22nd at age 63.

@ricola3333 Great! Thought he looked familiar- loved 'The Cardinal'. Still at a loss for the girl though, I don't think it's Anjanette Comer, but I could be wrong.

fairly interesting side note(!) at 4:37 Janice Rule and Ben Gazzara are both dressed in yellow- in another clip they are both in orange- wonder if this was a conscious decision! lol

just watched this clip again- it's rare to find footage of people like Tuesday Weld these days- here she's really beautiful and looks really interesting. And the shot of Tuesday, Judy Garland, Lauren Bacall and Rock Hudson- talk about an interesting cast- woah, to be a fly on the wall at one of these things!
