Her early life was filmed as "The Actress" with Jean Simmons as Ruth, and Spencer Tracy and Teresa Wright as her parents. It runs occasionally on TCM and is most likely available on DVD from Warner Archives.
Ruth Gordon was so cute and gorgeous - youthful too, she'd have been 87 when she gave this interview (she claims to be 85 here, but according to Wiki she was born in 1896). Either way, she looks astonishingly good!
@@jl3322 I liked Oprah until I realised that she worshipped the NWO- and promoted Child Molesters -handed victims to Weinstein- she has lead Millions astray. The racist card is used to protect those who do evil. Why do you think Arlene was an idiot? Do you just troll looking for something to be offended by? Doesnt matter what colour someone is- its their actions that count. I could give you a long list of people of every colour who are evil. So STFU Fool.Just another useful idiot for the NWO.
Amazing woman...I'm really surprised no film company has made a film of her life story. An incredible life !

One word that suits Ruth to a tee... SPITFIRE.
The cutest 85 year old in ever seen,,,,
The first time she appeared in Clint Eastwood's movie, someone in the theater said, "Hey, it's Mary Todd Lincoln!" Everyone laughed! 😂
A charming woman to the end. Sad she died the year I was born.
That’s a fabulous 85/87
She was the best!
Love Ruth
"Never face the facts".......BEST ADVICE EVER! Because whatever we face, we get more of it.
Ruth and Arlene, two of the best
Ruth is so honest and I think she wanted everybody to be fully themselves.
Just wonderful wonderful words from Ruth Gordon

Two Boston gals (Ruth originally from Quincy, Mass, and Arlene from Brookline).
So sad that we didnt get this Lovely Ladys show in my country- we got the revolting oprah in the 80s- we sure missed out :(
Arlene Francis was an idiot-Oprah is brilliant and YOU are a racist!

Ruth Gordon was about a decade older than Arlene Francis, but looks 20 years younger
Ruth seems to be wearing a VERY short skirt!
She loved to show her legs and always wore high heels.
Face it, she WAS very short... VERY. 😂
Ruth Gordon was also a model.
@@bduhe219 And?
"the age problem." come on Arlene...how about calling it "the age factor" or "the age attribute"? the "problem" seems to be yours, Arlene.
it was a problem for Arlene- the poor lady died of Alzheimers
That women was born in 1896....wow!
She would be 128 years old now.
She saw everything.
