- Actress Rosemary Forsyth was surrounded by handsome leading men while making SHENANDOAH. The classic was her first feature film. She had numerous scenes with legendary Oscar winner and WWII hero, James Stewart, who played her father in the film. Her character marries Doug McClure and the actress still gets chills recalling the emotional scene that takes place during their wedding. SHENANDOAH was one of the highest-grossing films of the year.
Rosemary’s very next film cast her opposite another Oscar winner. Her leading man was Charlton Heston, whose title character, THE WAR LORD, claims his right to bed the newly married lass on her wedding night.
Both films showcased the Canadian-born actresses’ stunning beauty and elegance in two very different characterizations. Rosemary won a Golden Globe nomination as “Most Promising Newcomer” for SHENANDOAH.
This interview was conducted at the Autry Museum, Nov 15, 2016, and was originally shown as two short AWOW episodes. We are now producing longer episodes so I've gone back into our archives to lengthen the older shows, combining them and adding new footage.

Mr. James Stewart. Great actor but first an American Patriot and hero. God Bless that wonderful man.
I met Doug McClure when I was mid 20s walking through a L.Vegas casino; Mr. McClure was at a blackjack table. He saw me and just smiled & nodded at me & looked back at his cards; made me feel like a million bucks. All those great gentlemen from that era are gone now. Loved The War Lord - know it by heart; Shenandoah was also excellent. Rosemary was a huge beauty many of us young ladies wanted to be. Great interview; thank you, Rob.
1 of my all time favorite films "Shenandoah" and song....what a tremendous cast!....affects all the senses...saw it as a young boy and for years could never forget the various character plot twists and how they died like Patrick Wayne, Kat Ross, Jimmy Best and Glen Corbett...and when that church door opens and "Boy" walks in....WOW!....thanks Rob, your the best brother...👍💥🇺🇲💥
Thanks, DD
“Shenandoah” is one of my favorites and Rosemary Forsyth is still lovely. Such a great movie.
Does anyone else get the feeling that Rosemary inspired Buttercup in “The Princess Bride”?
Hmmmm. Interesting thought.
Wow! I never even thot about it but now that you mentioned it, she does look a lil like Princess Bride or vise versa! Good observation!👍😉
Shenandoah was a very moving film. Still is. And The Warlord is one of my favorite Heston films. The level of detail paid to Heston’s wardrobe was very accurate to the period of William the Conqueror. Great interview. I have often wondered what she thought of those films. Thank you, Rob.
It is really nice to hear and see Rosemary Forsyth. Thank you!
My parents took us to Universal Studios in 1964; we saw Spot blow smoke when the Munsters' staircase raised up, Leslie Caron's gorgeous blood red sequined gown in her dressing room while filming Father Goose with Cary Grant, and I remember thinking HOW SMALL Charlton Heston's castle keep was in The War Lord - AMAZING! What superb movies we had back then!
Thanks, Nance
Sunday mornings would not be the same without AWOW interviews with such great guests! Thanks Rob!👍😊
Thanks, slick.
"Nice!" I recently watched "Texas Across the River," which she was also in. It's a really funny film (plus the Blu-Ray is currently half the price of the DVD!). I think I've seen at least part of this interview before, but all I remember of it is that I remember seeing it. So, it's the same as new. They say that the memory is the second thing to go, so you can start recycling any time, now. Thanks again!!
Thanks Rob. Any film of the Civil War I’m watching. There’s so much history in that time of our nation. Rosemary Forsyth was a lucky gal cast in films w/a number of key acting guys! She’s only started on the stories I’m thinking. Just speaking from perspective of an only sister w/brothers. 🤠
100% agree!....if a films got a Civil War background....I'm all in!

A talented & beautiful actress. I wish she had more starring roles!
Me, too, mec.
I was 6 years old when my entire family went to downtown Los Angeles to a walk-in theater to see this picture. I fell asleep about a quarter way into it and woke up about the last 15 minutes of it. I had to wait for it to make it on TV for me to see the entire picture and years later to understand what it was about and all the stars in it. Rosemary Forsyth is still so beautiful even today and sharing all those memories. Thank you for sharing this and bringing back good family memories for me.
I was also six when I saw this one at the theater near the Army housing in Geissen, Germany. It was ten cents for a huge bag of popcorn and I think about a quarter for admission.
Thanks, Dan. Beautiful then and now. I was 18!
Thanks Rob! Always great stuff here
Nice to see her doing well . A familiar face during my youth . Always so beautiful.
Excellent interview, Rob! I had the pleasure of meeting Ms Forsyth at the Western Film Fair in Winston Salem about 10 years ago. She could not have been more gracious and friendly, an absolute pleasure to meet!

Learned everything there is to know about a woman in this movie.
Love & Like are very different things.
Shenandoah just a great movie with an outstanding caadt.Wish these interviews lasted longer.
Was just watching Doug McClure in The Land that Time Forgot 😊
Corbett and Tim McIntyre were great talents who both died young. Tim sang the story of Jeremiah Johnson in the movie.
Thank you for another great interview. Movies used to be so great. The scripts, sets, costumes, and all the amazing acting talent. Sadly that no longer exists, at least from my perspective.
Wonderful guest and interview, as usual . Shenandoah became a favorite from the first time I saw it and still is.
Mine, too, S. I ran out and bought the LP which, in addition to the beautiful score, had a cut comprised of Stewart's monologues at his wife's grave. Very moving.
@@AWordonWesterns Oh Wow! Had no idea they had that. Wld love to get my hands on a copy.
Great interview, Ms. Forsyth is avery gracious lady. I also noticed James Best was in the final trailer.
And you can spot Harry Carey Jr in that shot, too, Galen. McGlaglen's stock company players.
And Denver Pyle, another of my favorites, along with James Best.
Thanks Rob! Loved the story!
Rob thank you for bringing us these interviews
Many thanks, Rob. Fascinating interview with a fascinating actress. Many thanks again!
I love this interview with Rosemary Forsythe. She is such a lovely & talented lady. Shenandoah is one of my favorite films. Doug McClure is great in it. Jimmy Stewart was made for that part. Warlord is a great movie. I will watch anything with Charlton Heston. Thank you so much, Rob!
Awesome show Rob…. Thank you!
Wonderful to watch!!! Just wonderful! Funny! Charming!❤️
Fantastic Interview with a cast member Rosemary Forsyth of Shenandoah talking about how she met her future husband Doug McClure and Jimmy Stewart who gave one of his best performance in that role. Warlord with Charlton Heston was a complete change of pace yet these two films are oddly appropriate for the 4th or Independence day as rebellion is an underlying message in both and the costs of rebellion. During these perilous times we all need occasional reminders. Thanks Rob.
Although I've seen this film a few times (including as a six-year-old the year it was released) I never noticed that the kid was the boy who played in 'To Kill a Mockingbird.' I only saw 'Scout' in one other film also. Thank you, Rob. I learn something new about something old every time I see one of your interviews. I really liked hearing from your guest also. she seems like a real trouper. No complaints, just fond memories.
Thanks, obb. She's delightful.
Thanks for sharing this great interview.
Glad you enjoyed it, Ginny. Thanks
Great interview as always, Rob. Really enjoyed The Warlord. Fun fact: my medieval history professor showed it in his class way back in my college days (late 80s/early 90s) as it was pretty realistic in portraying the time period. Had a great discussion afterwards.
Sounds like you have a very perceptive professor, Op.
"There's a difference between loving and liking." I like Rob, but I love his program. I just finished watching "Patton" which was directed by Franklin Schaffner and had John Doucette in a small supporting role like in "Lust for Gold." I enjoyed both "Shenandoah" and "The Warlotd" which starred two of my favorite actors and had such great supporting casts. I have seen this interview before, but I enjoyed rewatching it. 👍
I grew up on western movies and this is one of them, still watching on dvd! what a channel, happy i subscribed!
The skewering of Patrick Wayne was a bit jarring, but all in all, a good movie.
Wonderful video. Did anyone notice one of my all-time favorites James Best? "They ain't gon' know that" was Mr. Jimmy's line toward the end of the snippets shown here. Rosemary was wonderful. In fact, I don't think she ever delivered a poor performance during her career.
Always enjoy your interviews. Look forward to seeing them on Sunday. I appreciate the work you do in bringing them to us. Thank you!
Gotta love Rosemary Forsyth.
I love Shenandoah. Great film. Full of great stars.
fantastic, keep em coming !
as always,another great video rob.i remember its release. ty santee.
Rosemary Forsyth a lovely lady and I had a crush on her, what a beauty she was and still is
Thanks Rob, and Good-Morning to you :)
🤠🤠🤠 Rob , great guest , nice backstories 👍
Lovely interview. Despite her many film and television credits one of the things I'll always think of first when it comes to Rosemary is her two-episode guest shot on "WKRP in Cincinatti", delivering a deft, playful comic performance.
I've never seen her WKRP episode, robat. I'll watch for it. Thanks.
Well, a really interesting episode. I remembered some of this from the previous episodes but that didn't diminish my enjoyment at all. I learned that Rosemary was born in Canada, which something that I never knew about till I read it in the description. She grew up in the US so her ties to Canada were limited and in reality irrelevant. Shenandoah has always stood out as a unique civil war film. Her performance belies her relative inexperience. The relationship between her character and Doug McClure's were in many ways the visual and emotional embodiment of the basic dichotomy of the situation that the film highlighted.
Thanks, Jim. What a debut!!
Heston was known to be hard on his leafing ladies great movie Shenandoah classic movie.
💕👍
a very natural girl 👏👏👏
Rosemary was my teen heartthrob!
A great movie
Yeeehaw! 1st Commontater! Yeah yeah I'm a spud for all things Western! Another great interview, Rob. Hope you and RJ come to Williamsburg's Nostalgia Fest this year too.
You may be a commontater, but you're still Deputy Dillon.

@@OdeeOz -- Hey, wait. If Matt's your dad, he's the marshal, right?
@@RealBigBadJohn yeah yeah That makes me Matt jr. since he passed away :O But wait, there's more! I'm going to start calling my son DD or Deputy Dillon! Thanks!
Excellent.✔
Thank you, Big! Cheers!
Such a beauty! Still pretty great.
"Classic" is a term too often misapplied and or its meaning misappropriated as referenced to films and literature of recent vintage, when in order to *be* a classic, by definition, the thing must be of time tested worth and have retained a following and secured an appreciation long after it was made. And so could never be legitimately declared as such any time soon after it was completed and most certainly not in advance of it as Rosemary says "Shenandoah" was represented to her.
Heck, at that stage it couldn't even be declared good, ner passable, nor even fair to middlin' fer goshsake (Much in the manner of today where everything said to be "Awesome!" isn't really, nor in most cases even remotely close to it).
So, "Shenandoah" was definitely not a classic then. But some thirty years later after having passed all the necessary criteria, for sure is now.
Lovely, gracious lady. Very nice and most enjoyable interview.
Are you going to get Clint onboard some day?
Ha! We’ve been tying for years and aren’t giving up!
What a dish Rosemary was back then! 😮
Yes she was, Buzz. She is still a sweetheart.
My 4th cousin is doug mcclure
Gorgeous woman.
We agree! Thanks.
A "classic" western is from when the production companies owned all their own props rather than contract for them, the notable characteristic being movies set in 1861 using rifles not invented until 1892.
Yeah. The '92 Winchester being the gun that won the Western.
Add the '73 colt with metallic cartridges to that list too.
Also Stetsons no one wore till the 1950s.
ROB, How cool Was this experience. Back when Hollywood was run by Judo Christians
These interviews are kind of weird. bring the woman on and then only ask them about the men.
