Playing the Dane - Jeremy Brett

[changingowl10]

Aww, Jeremy! :(

I really miss him.

[Tiittituija]

Thanks Jeremy :)

[giuel95]

Thank you so much for sharing!

WHY can't I find a recording of Brett as Hamlet?!? WHY!???!?

[PeterFirthFan]

He only played the part on stage, it was never filmed.

[coramunroe]

Damn.

[PeterFirthFan]

He can't have been as bad as he was at playing Macbeth.

[TAfan2]

God bless You, Jeremy.

[kissfool]

Don't be too sad-- Mr. Brett lived his life as well as he could, doing gracious work and leaving us with an amazing interpretation of Holmes. We all die, but so we all leave humanity such gifts?

[PeterFirthFan]

His breathing was terrible.

[JuanMacready]

Yes he had emphysema.

[poppylv21]

"I felt cheated"... I bet he did, losing his mum while having a newborn baby and a marriage that was failing... And being a manic depressive (which he didn't know at that point in his life) I'm sure made it all even more difficult to deal with. Not the best years of his life I think, poor JB.

[jeremyb4ever]

if you watch the sherlock holmes eps in oreder you can see him getting worse

[poppylv21]

that's why I never watch the final series, it's just too sad to see him so sick.

[9Agnes2]

When I watch them I always need to watch an early episode afterwards to sheer myself up. :(

[coramunroe]

Indeed =(

[poppylv21]

He doesn't look that bad I think. Only very very sad... ;(

[kamwrites]

Agreed, he looks good at this point compared to in the SH series, but those meds have him sweating like crazy. I gotta tell you, my heart jumped when his voice came on. Such an indescribable loss. He'll always be a fave of mine, an outstanding individual, and a class act.

[LidijaSU]

He was so charming.

May he r.i.p.

[Jillywinkles12]

So short! is there any more?

He doesn't look that awful at all, imo. Yes, he's sweating, but there are some Sherlock Holmes episodes where he looks a lot more ill and worse.

[brettishgal]

Thanx for that.Always grateful to catch a JB interview.

[hallospacegirl1013]

Thanks so much for the upload! Wonderful to see this interview. Oh, Jeremy, what a wonderful actor.

[christinah3000]

nope, sorry!

[ktloulou]

do you have the clip of Frances de la Tour?

[MsAdler221b]

This was great, thanks for posting :)

[ISB]

thanks for the upload.

[pauly1138]

God bless Jeremy.

I have lived with manic depression for some years now, and Jeremy has been an inspiration.

To watch him now with the knowledge of what he must have been experiencing on the inside is truly an example of how to live with the cancer that is depression.

Thankyou jeremy.

Pauly.

Thanks for sharing this with us Jeremy fans. I highly recommend Bending The Willow by David Stuart Davies for more information on Jeremy and his struggle with his illness. Love Brett.

[kamwrites]

After a long search I bought the book several years ago...highly recommended.

[sherlockholmesfan]

god bless jeremy...wish you didnt have to go through tht pain...thanx 4 the video

[annafrancesca1]

I see him wonderful even in this interview! He was Jeremy! Thank you Christina for sharing this!

[HellaPostor]

Oh, I'm being so sad. Thank you Christina3000! I can't say anything.

[sexyintruderJB]

But in spite of all illness there`s still the sparkle in his eyes!! What a brave man he was - unbroken!

[BrieFcon]

Well said! JB rules!

[RJDoll2]

Thank you so much for this clip! While it is heartbreaking to see him in this condition, I believe it is a must see for any Jeremy lover. Lovely and generous of you to share it with us all, sweet ChristinaH3000! Yes, how I love this man! :)

[jeremysdarling]

This is his last public appearance before he died and it's so heartbreaking to see him in this condition, sweating profusely due to the side effects of his heart ailment. But he's still darling Jeremy the ability to mesmerize still not gone. How I love this man!

[ellandelachapelle]

Side effects of his heart ailment? Rather side effects of the Lithium he took against his "manic depression"! Did you that this "medicine" actually CAUSES heart problems? (many die from sudden cardiac arrest.) Psychiatry makes me furious! (nearly killed me too. With their "cures".) Love you forever Jeremy!
