[acegusto]

Not the best volleyball players! : D

[soapbxprod]

@acegusto LOL- how true! :) But so good looking!

[ucantinjaaninja]

amazing 

[soapbxprod]

@ucantinjaaninja Thank you- our pleasure to make your day!

[stactor30]

@soapbxprod thanks for posting these great videos. I love Natalie-simply a lady of incomparable beauty and charm.

[soapbxprod]

@stactor30 Natalie is, imho, the most gorgeous woman who ever walked this earth. No lie.

[stactor30]

@soapbxprod I agree completely.

[soapbxprod]

@stactor30 HA HA! Terrific! :)

[krystalmonday]

@soapbxprod she's my favorite. did you ever meet Natalie Wood?  these tapes were just given to you? will you have more of Natalie?

[soapbxprod]

@krystalmonday No, but I did meet Robert Wagner- he narrated our 2001 biography of Lana Turner for TCM. It's here on our channel- title is:

Lana Turner... A Daughter's Memoir

Roddy Mc Dowall gave these home movies- which he shot- to me personally. We were good friends. Met him through Janet Leigh, who was like an adopted aunt to me. Made her Intimate Portrait for Lifetime in 1996. Also here on our channel. Title is:

Janet Leigh... A Life in Hollywood

All the Best!

[krystalmonday]

@soapbxprod wow what a great back ground you have, unique at that! these are very rare for sure! I love to just watch Natalie Wood here and just study her, they really show her more life like and how beautiful she really was - even more so in person I bet! best back at ya!:))))

[soapbxprod]

@krystalmonday Love to you too! We have a short assembly made from the footage for fundraising... title is:

Hollywood 1965 Offline Assembly

[NikkiParker23]

Loved this! Natalie and Paul were so gorgeous ... and Jane was so young!! So much fun to see Natalie playing in the surf.

[soapbxprod]

@NikkiParker23 Glad that you had fun watching- please pass on- we make a tiny profit on every click!

[deleetmeeh]

Which girl is at 3:55? Thx

[soapbxprod]

@deleetmeeh JANE FONDA!

[sirvidia]

nice little roll of belly she got at 1m06s

[soapbxprod]

@sirvidia A little bit of baby fat is SEXY! Natalie is my ONE TRUE LOVE- and always will be.

[calalilygirl]

@sirvidia Yes many men do like that little roll on the tummy. I think a super flat tummy on a woman IS un sexy. The other is VERY feminine.

[soapbxprod]

@calalilygirl Affirmative! :)

[MiltonJenkins]

Natalie---what a dreamboat.....these films are fascinating! Myf irst trip to LA was in 1965, but I was only a tyke-just glad I was there to see Dean Martin's restaurant, the Derby, etc. at the same time Jim Morrison was talking to Ray about possibly forming a group; when the Beach Boys were just taking off. That's my Hollywood, not today's.

[soapbxprod]

@MiltonJenkins Dear Milton! I was 5 when this footage was shot! My grandfather was Abner Biberman, and his brother was Herbert Biberman... one of the Hollywood 10! I was born in SF and was a toddler in LA, but my folks moved back to NYC when I was 3... 1st time in LA that I can remember was March 1968- LBJ came on TV to announce that he "would not seek the nomination of my Party for another term as your President." Please feel free to contact me Directly! lukeasacher@aol.com

[grafonolafavorite]

Priceless gems. Fun to watch. Thanks for sharing.

[soapbxprod]

@grafonolafavorite Glad that you're enjoying it!

[handal1973]

Awesome ! but it's needs to add music !

[soapbxprod]

@handal1973 Just choose your own! Cannot violate copyright laws! If you'd like to see what we're producing from Roddy's footage, just search in YouTube for:

Hollywood 1965

We are professional documentary filmmakers.

[gradee5]

@handal1973 no!!!!!

[calalilygirl]

These clips are some of the very best and precious on You Tube for sure. It relaxes me to just watch them.

[soapbxprod]

@calalilygirl Thank you so much! Happy New Year to you.

[calalilygirl]

@soapbxprod And you too!

[windstorm1000]

60's H'wood chic--letting their hair down!!

[soapbxprod]

@windstorm1000 Paul Newman drinks Busch Beer! YEAH!

[elegantchanell]

It's almost just haunting to see her in the water... :/

[soapbxprod]

@elegantchanell Boy... you said it... Thank you for watching!

[edstrat69]

I'm really loving these,  esp. seeing Natalie. Seeing her go into the water gave me a sad feeling.

[soapbxprod]

@edstrat69 I was 21 when she died... I cried for hours... RJ Wagner is a good friend of Carole and myself- he narrated our Lana Turner biography for TCM. I KNOW for a fact that he had NOTHING to do with her accident.

[windstorm1000]

@soapbxprod I believe you--he loved her dearly--they had their arguments--but what married couple doesn't? I just wish they had had their last one on ground in Santa Monica--then she could have just gone out to a bar and cooled her heels. Alas, life just doesn't always work out the way we want it. Anyway, thanks for sharing--I know that it must be a painful time again for RJ and Natalies friends and family--I hope it gets resolved as do many.  Natalie--loved by all. Miss her.

[soapbxprod]

@windstorm1000 Robert Wagner narrated our Biography of Lana Turner for TCM! We flew to Aspen to record him. He was a sweet guy! Charming, professional, and generous.

[brooklynborn81]

@windstorm1000

I agree with what you say. However, there is the possibility of negligence here. Did RJ wait 4 hours after Natalie was missing to call the coastguard?

[windstorm1000]

@brooklynborn81 As Ms. W. went missing, RW was probably drunk & sleeping it off. & then lost his smarts when told Ms. Wood was gone. Certainly, the Capt. could have over rode's RW's lack of action--but for reason's of HIS own--chose not to. & what of Walken? 3 grown men & none call the C.G. Certainly THAT is a mystery. It appears, though, that Ms. Wood's death is a deadly combo of booze, the ocean, & negligance-w/o criminal intent. Reprihensible--but not prosecutable.

[brooklynborn81]

@windstorm1000

Yes, reprehensible by all three.........such a great loss!

[soapbxprod]

@brooklynborn81 Well said!

[windstorm1000]

@brooklynborn81 Yes, from what I've read he did wait 4 hours--as did the captain.. Certainly a STRONG case for negligance to possibly let someone flounder in the water for 4 brave hours--is that criminal?? I'm not a lawyer.This is great mystery. Why would the captain bring up this case after all these years? Something must be troubling his conscious. Like millions I will be waiting for the LA distict a. to come out with his report --and SOON. Ms. Wood deserves no less.

[calalilygirl]

Thanks.......I'll be on the lookout for Troy.

[soapbxprod]

@calalilygirl He's tagged in the clips in which he appears!

[soapbxprod]

@calalilygirl here is the name of the clip: T Donahue R Attenborough J Robards M Oberon L Bacall Malibu July 24, 1965

[calalilygirl]

Was that Troy Donahue with Jane Fonda?

[soapbxprod]

@calalilygirl No but Troy is in a different clip! That's James Fox- brother of Edward Fox. James was in The Chase with Jane, which was released in early 1966, so they were probably working on that picture in the Summer of 1965. Just look him and Edward up on the iMDB!

[ActionEasy]

At 3:50, wow, Jane Fonda.

[bradh716]

That girl just loved being in front of a camera.

[soapbxprod]

@bradh716 And the camera loved her right back!

[Countrygirltori24]

Jane Powell looks fabulous. She matches up against Natalie Wood and Jane Fonda who are about 10 years younger,

[soapbxprod]

@Countrygirltori24 Jane Powell RULES! Incredible talent- like Debbie Reynolds!

[calalilygirl]

@Countrygirltori24 Jane Powell DOES look fabulous. Seems very nice too.

[happels]

This shows you how attractive these people were, and without Hollywood make up even on...

[soapbxprod]

@happels And so NORMAL! No pretensions.

[krystalmonday]

@happels today the ones who are the stars look horrible when caught without makeup. they looked so much healthier back then too.  better habits I guess.

[paristiger1]

I saw Jane Fonda

[soapbxprod]

@paristiger1 Yes- with James Fox! Sorry for overlooking her name in the title- corrected!

[livethroughthis]

wow just stunning video. thank you so much. i've been watching your channel for a while and now that natalie's case was re-opened it gives me a strange feeling to watch this footage.

[soapbxprod]

@livethroughthis Us too! We know Robert Wagner- he narrated our biography of Lana Turner for TCM ("Lana Turner... A Daughter's Memoir") Just cannot believe that there was any foul play- think that everyone had too much to drink and no one heard Natalie fall off the boat.

[cutis1000]

Jane Fonda was a knockout! And Paul Newman...just beautiful. Thanks for sharing this footage.

[soapbxprod]

@cutis1000 Most welcome! My heart belongs to Natalie Wood...

[Avatar610]

Who are the other people besides the stars? I was looking for Roger Vadim, myself- this was about the time Jane married him.

[soapbxprod]

@Avatar610 If you look at the tags list, we've tried to name all of them that we can recognize.

[Trndkillah]

This is shockingly clear footage for being over 46 years old.

[soapbxprod]

@Trndkillah Wait until you see the footage from the Digital Betacam masters in the finished show- there are just U-Matic composite analog window dubs!

[soapbxprod]

@Trndkillah All shot in 16mm Kodachrome reversal.

[caradefreson]

qué buenooooooooo

[soapbxprod]

@caradefreson Absolamente!

[bcheatham1964]

Natalie Wood of course, absolutely breathtaking!

[bcheatham1964]

"been" I just hate autocorrect sometimes!

[bcheatham1964]

Thanks for another "priceless" look at how the stars spent time together, wow what I would do to have neem there (even though I was only (1) in 1965. I am her biggest fan, I fell in love with her as a teen and was 17 when she died, thanks for posting these videos, I was so in love with her :-)

[soapbxprod]

@bcheatham1964 Thank YOU for your sweet thoughts! Natalie Wood is my favorite actress of ALL TIME- there's something about her that you just can't get enough of- simply adorable! Robert Wagner narrated our TCM Biography of Lana Turner- uploaded here on our channel- we worked with him for two days in Aspen. He is one of the GOOD GUYS! Both he and his wife Jill St. John are thrilled that we've released these movies- he appears in the Labor Day party footage at Rock Hudson's house!

[4thekidsTV]

It's sad that the thing that Poor Nat feared the most would eventually kill her years later.

[soapbxprod]

@4thekidsTV An incredible ironic coincidence! Dickensian!

[4thekidsTV]

I didn't know that Ms.Wood could swim? I thought that she was scared of the water?

[soapbxprod]

@4thekidsTV Yes- Natalie could swim- but hated to! Because of that accident on the set when she was a child. There's a lot of information about her all over the web regarding her and water scenes that she played during her career- most notably "The Star" with Bette Davis and Sterling Hayden.

[brooklynborn81]

To me it looked like Natalie was very tentative to go into the water. The way she runs from the tide coming in and her boyfriend carrying her in deeper water. I didn't know she was a good swimmer.

[soapbxprod]

@brooklynborn81 She's just being carried by him... remember, she was a woman of her time... she liked to be protected by her men! Sex and the Single Girl! LOL

[soapbxprod]

@brooklynborn81 She's just being carried by him... remember, she was a woman of her time... she liked to be protected by her men! Sex and the Single Girl! LOL

[matsebah]

it´s curious to see natalie wood not so afraid of water here.

[italoman9]

Wow, these movies are priceless and appreciated. A time in life when stars were real stars, and carried themselves and looked so, off as well as on the big "silver screen." Thank you!

[soapbxprod]

@italoman9 You guys are all so great! So glad to make so many people happy- Thank you!

[mocrg]

Thanks for posting these, some of my favorite actors and actresses,

[soapbxprod]

@mocrg Happy to make you happy too! Thanks for your kind words!

[brooklynborn81]

A priceless treasure! Thanks for sharing!

[soapbxprod]

@brooklynborn81 You're making me blush! So very appreciated. Thank you to all extremes!

[leighgate]

Natalie Wood looks like she was a lot of fun; she's always smiling and making faces.

[soapbxprod]

@leighgate There's no doubt about that! What a woman...

[soapbxprod]

@leighgate There's no doubt about that! What a woman...

[elsathelioness]

Wow, what a treasure. Awesome.

[soapbxprod]

@elsathelioness So happy that you like it! The train is starting to build steam... a feature documentary just might be on the way... after 12 years of effort!

[soapbxprod]

@elsathelioness Glad that you enjoyed them!

[FranklyMyDearTV]

Thank you so so so much for sharing these!!! Natalie Wood is one of my favorites and I love the others mentioned in this clip - basically, I adore seeing Old Hollywood hanging out together and home movies like these are just precious. THANK YOU! :)

[soapbxprod]

@FranklyMyDearTV Thank you! ME TOO! No one on earth comes close to Natalie!



[miltsar]

@soapbxprod What a wonderful treat it has been to stumble across these priceless films. Thank you so very very much for sharing them. It is wonderful to see these legends having fun and being 'normal ' people. I loved seeing Jane Powell looking so young and vibrant. Thank you !

[soapbxprod]

@miltsar We can't express how overjoyed we are by the outpouring of interest! It looks like we will actually get to make a feature legnth motion picture/television program from these films, and from an archive of interviews that we have shot over many years! Thank you again! Luke and Carole

[Debora1]

Thank you soooo much for sharing such rare precious stuff!!

and videos' quality is great!!

lots of cheers and- again - thanks from Italy

Debora

[soapbxprod]

@Debora1 Prego, cara mia! Bona fortuna!

[Debora1]

@soapbxprod

great italian! XD

[soapbxprod]

@Debora1 I was lucky enough to work in Italy a couple of times in the 1990s- in Milan- stayed at the Diana Majestic- Oh my God! Also in Como/Cernobbio at Villa D'Este, and in Florence, and Vinci! One of the greatest times of my life... I stood at the doors of the Duomo in Florence, facing the Baptistry... where linear perspective and The Renaissance was born!

[Debora1]

I was actually born, raised, all-life living in Milano:-)) and it's quite a life indeed LOL

Very glad you enjoyed your stay over here so much, sadly it's not that nice anymore for many reasons, you got the last gasps of our best times, lucky and timely LOL! but monuments and art pieces are all still there, just a bit (even) more older, lol

Tanti saluti da sotto la Madonnina (many cheers from under the little Madonna-her golden statue is at the top pinnacle of the Duomo, you surely remember)

[soapbxprod]

@Debora1 I sure do! My best time was walking on the roof of the Duomo! And the great Galleria Vittoria Emanuele across the Piazza! You are terrific- like all the people that I worked with there!

[Debora1]

@soapbxprod

That's veeeeery kind from you, I'm flattered LOL, you too sound terrific, thank you again!

[soapbxprod]

@MrJimmyt62 Natalie has always been my favorite actress- in love with her since I can remember being alive! Roddy McDowall gave the footage to us more than 11 years ago. We met and shot an interview with him at my adopted aunt Janet Leigh's house in 1996, when we were shooting her bio documentary- posted here on our channel. He wanted us to tell his story, because he knew that we would do it the right way! Thanks!

[ozboy39]

this was a real treat- thank you so much for sharing- a time long gone by- looks like a happy simpler time- wow

[soapbxprod]

@ozboy39 You are most welcome! Los Angeles was a different place back then... 3 million people, clean, safe... paradise lost!

[eotto2001]

Thanks for the post. It is nice to seem them as people.

[soapbxprod]

@eotto2001 You are most welcome!

[AngelinNicole]

Thanks so much for posting these. I could watch forever, it's like a glimpse into a lost era. I love Natalie.

And what a knock-out Jane Fonda was (and still is).

[soapbxprod]

@AngelinNicole Natalie is my one true love- with the exception of my wife Martha... she understands! Robert Wagner narrated our bio doc on Lana Turner... it's on our channel- he was an angel!

[locotaco10]

@AngelinNicole who would have known, Natalie (was) actually a year younger than Jane despite becoming famous much earlier

[soapbxprod]

@locotaco10 She'd been working since Miracle on 34th Street! LOL!

[AngelinNicole]

Natalie was and always will be such a timeless beauty. They just don't make them like her anymore.

[soapbxprod]

@AngelinNicole Tell me about it! Robert Wagner narrated our "Lana Turner... A Daughter's Memoir" bio doc- it's posted here on our channel! Enjoy!

[imajeepster]

my mother saw Mr and Mrs Newman when on vacation in Aruba years ago...she said he was a shrimp! lol

[soapbxprod]

@imajeepster That's why he looked so good in Cinemascope! Both he and Steve McQueen were little like me- 5 foot 6! The Alan Ladd formula!

[soapbxprod]

@coolhandluke1889 My name is Luke too! Carole Langer is my mother. Luke Sacher- grandson of Abner Biberman.

[debalex]

Was that a young Jane Fonda as well?

[soapbxprod]

@debalex If you mean the lady in the yellow two piece- that is Jane Powell!

[debalex]

@soapbxprod The one sticking out her tongue at 4 minutes?

[soapbxprod]

@debalex Of course that is Jane Fonda. How would anyone mistake her?

[pocatelo]

Simply amazing... and I'm not only talking about Jane Powell's bikini.



[soapbxprod]

@pocatelo Oh God! Forgot about Janey Powell! Thanks!

[maxeythecat]

Oh my GOD Paul Newman's pretty.......wouldja lookit that six pack he's sporting?? Now THAT'S one good looking man.

[soapbxprod]

@maxeythecat He and Steve McQueen!

[cherylbeee]

were movie cameras a new thing...everyone seems surprised...and even more tongue!

[cherylbeee]

i'm guessing movie cameras were a new thing...everyone seems so surprised and yet again, tongue!

[soapbxprod]

@cherylbeee Not so much! It's because Roddy shot every frame! In 16mm color! After all, it was 1965!

[cherylbeee]

i'm guessing movie cameras were a new thing...everyone seems so surprised
