DeForest Kelley - talking about his favourite fan letter

[MuscleManDaniel]

I like how he says " very delightful looking young girl" :) also hmmm maybe I dojt know what its like to be cool in hollywood or an actor but I hate pot sorry and I do not need pot to enjoy star trek only alcohol! doctors orders.... lol i love this show and rip mcCoy. hes like..."what in blazes is this" or " oo --no? would like to see how fast I can put you in a hospital"...? are you insane???" McCoy seems so cool and tranquil to be around . I'm smoke but I cant handle it

[wolgreth]

the doc knows his good medicine - girls and pot!

[vanmoody]

Smoking Pot? He must be the Bones from the Alternate Evil Universe.

[RaikenXion]

Good god man!! Bones is a legend

[paperbacknovel]

FUNNY. Thought it'd be someone who became a doctor because of him or something.

[selatik1]

Bless ol' DeForest! The original cast had so much more character in real life than the kiddie actors trying to fill their shoes.

[Ziggens100]

I miss him.

[freedomfighterguy1]

LOL. That was awesome.

[ROLLINonTHEpill]

Yeah, he kept that one......in his system for 3 to 5 days.

[AliceInWonderland85]

Wow.

[LadyMurderMaid]

Would do the same for Nimoy, but it would be a pipe and a bag.

Class.

[btwujustlostTHEGAME]

I sent that. I wish.

[WilliamHoldenfan]

Hysterical.Do you think he smoked the joint though?that's the question LOL.

[MrSinister1979]

@WilliamHoldenfan He probably gave it to William Shatner for when Bill did his version of "Rocket Man". It'd explain an awful lot about that madness :)

[WilliamHoldenfan]

@MrSinister1979 So true,so true LOL.

[MartianStories]

Lmao! I LOVE this! Than you for posting!

I've always loved Bones. I grew up 45 minutes west of Atlanta, where Bones was supposed to be from. My grandmother Grace and I always used to sit and do Bones lines back and forth. She really loved him. She had the same attitude. She was a 40-year English teacher and writer who wrote her stories on a manual typewriter early in the morning with a can of Coors. You should have heard her rail against the evils of computers! Those two would have been a match!

[Cap285]

None of the Star Trek doctors come close to Bones.

[cwross1976]

they just don't make em like that anymore.

[LadyRose1985]

Looks like four people missed the like button. Need to get the old glasses checked.

[shinitaru]

@LadyRose1985 some people just don't like anything. what can ya do?

[hanhuijun]

He's dead, Jim.

[LieutenantEO]

After all these years, I still like him more than William shatner.

[leonardnimoylover1]

who in thier right minds would dislike this video???? :O

[ODOMAN123]

one of the best character/actors in film and television.

[J5MARLON]

Yeah, kept the picture and smoked the weed.

[theGhoulman]

Dee was always a class act. :)

[PetiteRoux]

god you are pure class de. seriously one of the sexiest people.

[randomface54]

For medicinal purposes only of course.

[MartianStories]

@randomface54 "Now, don't be a prig..."

[songokulul]

The capabilities of this doctor, " Anybody need any stimulants?? "

[NoDestinyLive4Now]

He was an interesting actor. It's a shame that he seemed to age and pass so quickly.

[SPQRImperator]

Bones kicked so much ass.

[Taospark]

Wait, did he keep the picture or the blunt?

[vp21ct]

Every person who acted in star trek is the coolest. Thus, when they get old, they become the coolest old people in the world.

[qetoun]

only in the 1960's . I was born too late!

[mustang6172]

That sounds like something I would display over the fireplace.

[TheLastComa]

He kept the lettter, smoked the bone.

[BunnaySango]

"Marijuana Cigarette", oh bones you card XD

[tubelogin2006]

Pics or it didn't happen Bones.

[masterfistlord]

@tubelogin2006 "Pics or it didn't happen Bones." - damnit, he's dead Jim.

[TheWarbirdPhoenix]

Hehehe

[DeugarTheOne]

For some reason I heard it as "I taped that one", instead of "I kept that one". Would explain the sudden silence :)

[Tigerman1138]

I nearly passed out laughing at this video! This is UBER awesome on SO MANY LEVELS! The humor! The ability to picture it and his closing line, "I kept *that* one!"

[seveeona]

What is this from? I would really like to know. Please and thank you

[hahftmxpknvuu]

@seveeona The documentary Trekkies, imdb.com/title/tt0120370/

[starscreamdkmo]

awsome

[stonethugmusic]

OH DAMN " THANK GOD FOR LITTLE GIRLS " AND THANK GOD FOR EVERY THING "

[VinnyMonster1]

DeForest Kelly, long may his name and memory live on!

[JeffersonDinedAlone]

"Bones, how about you, me, and Spock go to Altair 4 for the weekend? Can you get us some women?" "Damn it, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a whoremonger!"

[MINIHermanator]

@JeffersonDinedAlone you sir are a god among men

lol great comment

[Lexingtonprepdude]

Why do people have to die? Theres a reason why, but whos?

[ballebanan]

Lmao. I wish people would send me joints by mail.  :D

[moelplat]

He was my favourite, had such a crush on him........bones, "pille" in the German version..

[JeffersonDinedAlone]

Sure, he created memorable characters, but, seriously, what kind of human being names their child DeForest?

[bernisweltredsun]

@JeffersonDinedAlone which parents give their son the name Gaylord? its the same secret to me.

[TheDutchViewer]

@JeffersonDinedAlone His full name was: Jackson DeForest Kelley, DeForest Kelley was his stage name.

[ricker01100]

great guy great actor hes missed. he was in tons of westerns also like warlock and 2-3 with audiemurphy gotta love that accent!

[Eshikh]

Aww I love you Bones.

[TazMan446]

we miss you Bones... Deforest Kelly...

[erentheca]

Lol, that was about the last think I thought Deforest Kelly would say.

[cyberdyne800]

I didnt know he died . I`ve just checked Wiki and i feel soo sad :( iv`e seen TOS for the first time long after he passed away . Hes performance made him immortal . God speed doc

[DaveyH75]

I love him so much...XXXDDDD

[aculturemind]

A joint? That must've been no later than the 70s......else they would've confiscated it, maybe worse.

[GunnarSavage]

@aculturemind People send pot through the mail all the time.

[aculturemind]

@GunnarSavage

In this day, I doubt it. Of course, I would hope they wouldn't have to.

[GunnarSavage]

@aculturemind All.The.Time.

[aculturemind]

@GunnarSavage

Cool. Smoke up,dude.

[visor109]

"I’m a Doctor not a Physician! " "No...wait a minute!"

[DamageRenamo]

I knew he was a fuckin' pothead like me. I fuckin' knew it!

[obiwanobiwan13]

Bones: Damnit, Jim, I'm a doctor, not a bricklayer!"

Kirk: Now...Bones...don't-get-all...­out of joint!"

Bones: What? NO! I'VE GOT NO JOINTS, YA HEAR, JIM BOY!  I'M...I'M CLEAN!

Scotty: Aye, an' I'm sober...ye canne change the laws of--well, I guess with that ye CAN, a wee bit...

;)

RIP Bones--You may have been "just an ol' country doctah!" but you sure inspired a lot of folks to go out and become real ones, and that's just terrific!

[LeoHwzrChannel]

"Dammit Jim... Ima Doctor, not a Physician!"

[evilemperordude]

I think Shatner has somehow been sucking the youth out of fellow Trek cast members.

But seriously, RIP DeForest Kelley.

[neechigirl]

@evilemperordude Seriously because Shatner and Nimoy are both 80 but Shatner doesn't really look it. Of course drinking and smoking didn't help Nimoy.

[sporks811]

@neechigirl Shatner doesn't look wrinkly because he's fat. Just sayin'.

[neechigirl]

@sporks811 Yeah I think you can tell he's plenty healthy without stating the obvious ;)

[DamageRenamo]

@evilemperordude

Y'know that's just crazy enough to be true. If Shatner's the last one standing in a few years we all owe you a beer.

[issenterprise1]

I AM A DOCTOR NOT A BERICK LAYER LOL LONG LIVE HIM !!

[trekfanful]

i know i'm not telling anyone here anything they don't already know but i gotta say it.De Kelly was a class act all the way.i'll always be grateful for his contribution to trek.a real gentleman.a man's man.and he aged well too.

[LeMcCHarStar4ever]

Wow. I wonder if his wife knew about that letter.

[EmpireLS56KW]

Did he smoke it? Was McCoy high? LOL

[suryalinaten10]

Hahahaha. Awwww. Oh De. When I watch TOS, I do feel my cheeks blushing. <3

[Moonshine3991]

DeForest Kelley, the trekkers all around the world will never forget you! <3

[uzimodem]

Kelley was awesome...still cant believe the TOS cast is dying off. Sucks.

[cliffy827]

Classic SNL skit with William Shatner as Captain Kirk in the Restaurant Enterpeise:

Kirk: "Bones, this man is choking!"

Bones: "Dammit, Jim, I'm a,,,,oh."

R.I.P Mr. Kelley.

[QuothTheRaven24]

@cliffy827 Do you know where I can find a clip of that? :D That sounds great!

[90geekgirl06]

If you look at pictures of him when he was very young, he was absolutely gorgeous. As time went by, though, his looks just got more and more charming. =)

[BillyQuincy]

Well...well...well...The Doc got a lover, lol.

[PatrickStewartTNG]

@Bartman954

You are right, and as long as there are Trekkies out there, he will be remembered!

Rest in peace, De, we love you!!

[tedm1975]

DeForest Kelly rules!

[Shikahan]

The man was a badass. I hope to one day be a fifth as awesome as he was.

[grimjanitor]

this is by far the best thing I've ever seen ever.

[Rubensaccnt]

He's the shit, Jim

[HallowedVayoula]

"Im a doctor not an engineer"

[moproducer]

He's dead, Jim. RIP.

[hesbatting1000]

Dammit, I"m a doctor not a... what was the question?

[Pugslee3]

When was this interview done, probably in 1997 or 1998 before he died.

[Anjalime]

Just WOW. He is/was so adorable. I would have died for one close look in those incredible eyes... In our thoughts and hearts he will live forever.

[lzbthwtts07]

hes so cute. love him.

[blazak]

He's a DOCTOR, not a BEATNIK!

[ozzy2pac]

dammit jim i'm a legend not a doctor

[BlueMoonz55]

When was this taken?

[BlueMoonz55]

That might have been my letter ...

[MissionObsessable23]

He is simply adorable. And those eyes... Damn. There just aren't men like him anymore. I miss him dearly.

[Anargil]

A real gentleman. De, I'm in love with you. It makes me so sad that I'll never get to meet you.

Oh, those eyes and that smile... *wistful sigh*

[marweste]

The very first time I saw him I absolutely melted looking at those big blue eyes as did many woman lol. Truly a shame he is gone, I will miss him dearly. :(

[tinyke3]

We'll always remember him <3

[inugal456]

De Kelley was the posterMAN of acting with true class

[JamieBarnes]

His smile is so gorgeous. :)))

[Moylettemino]

I think alot of us could be held suspect for sending that - he was SO handsome with such ridiculously blue eyes and had such a goregous voice.... kudos to the fan who did actually send it, VERY well put!!! :-)

[musicalglenn]

that man was an absolute genuine gentleman in an industry laden with falseness and ego. Bless you De

[grandehillusion]

It is a big moment.

Thanks so much for sharing <3

[krimzonvillain]

That girl was me in another life :p

[MasterAceman123456]

Very cheeky, very funny.  :)

[FaithfullNightmare]

[jgkloosterman]

@Bartman954 He's not dead as long as Karl Urban is channelling his spirit.
