can he stop saying iconic please
This whole thing is pure bullshit
His friends said he pretended to be drunk until his son died in a plane crash. Then he aged rapidly. Dean Martin was a great singer & a very handsome man. He is so missed! Still listen to his songs all the time. God bless his soul🙏🏼💕
hee was a talented singer and an awesome entertainer.
Why don't people say good things about these people, Instead of bad stuff about alcohol.
@@johnyerkov1553because this is a story about alcoholism..not one about “ nice things”….people did!
Young and foolish,,return to me
Lovely.
When He and Jeanie divorced. On his show. He sang . For The Good Times.
He cried a bit while in mid croon. It was so sad.
Stop it with old movies new ones are worse all these new ones are gross
According to Frank Sinatra and all of the people closest to him, Dean Martin wasn't even a heavy drinker, much less an alcoholic.
Frank Sinatra shows up on the list as well so maybe he wasn't the best judge.
@@NoExitLoveNowDean martin did NOT drink. It was an act only.
You are correct, everything I’ve read on Dean Martin. It was a staged gimmick for when he broke ties with Jerry Lewis. He drink tea and apple juice on stage to give the illusion he was drinking and drunk. He was more of the family man,compared to the rest of the rack pack. Who drank heavily and party
@@coloradopackratprepper 100% correct, Martin split with Sinatra because he didn't want to carouse late at night
For one, at the lord supper, we all are drinking cherry juice, not red wine. Hmm? Could oit be some tallentless fruit cakes are leous of some actors / actresses? Surprise / surprise? Dino nevr, never ever had to go to AA, how many of you film industry bureacrats visited the AA and other reham cents.??! + Don't judge others so you guys won't be judged!
I can relate. I drank into my forties. I was a bar hopper, after work in NYC. I went to High Watch, in Kent CT for 3 wks. We had chores, and tons of AA meetings in the facility and when, we left. I've been sober over 30 years.
WTG
Congrats
Good for you! That's fantastic that you were able to God the strength and courage to do what you did. I don't have it myself.
Well done. 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
You're not famous. Doesn't count.
It has been aways been known, Dean Martin never drank much at all. That is by all the accounts of the people, that worked with him, for his entire career.
Sinatra drank more than Dino spilt
In statistical document, DEAN MARTIN himself told the interviewers. NA- AHH, in that case, how would have I been able, to cope along with the storys / happenings correctly, How could have I made, sudden switch, sobering up, and act like a sane guy etc. Stupid tallentless jelous fools, don't have materials to write about, just thrashing other's good names legitimacy & reputations? Sound like a bunch of gussip columnists, that love to stire in a dirty shitty storys, in a secret abandoned under ground casino?
And I've got an igloo in the Saharan desert.
I've heard Dean Martin started drinking heavily for real after the death of his son. But I don't know if that's true.
'It was a woman that drove me to drink but I never had the courtesy to thank her'. W.C. Fields
I'm surprised that Nick Nolte wasn't on the list. His drinking was legendary and his antics were wild. While filming Grace Quigly, Kathryn Hepburn snapped at him, saying "are you going to drink at every sewer in town?". He shot back "Not yet!"
@hefaust61.
I'm sure Nick Nolte is on a different list of Hollywood drunks. Cause you know there's one hell of a lot more than 50 alcoholics in the entertainment business. Lindsay Lohan wasn't mentioned & how many times has she been through rehab. I know she's been out here at the Betty Ford Center.
@@wandawelsh8382p
He's also a great actor.
very surprised as some of the alcoholic dependency stars suffered
Frank Sinatra once quipped "I spill more booze than Dean drinks". Dean Martin was not an alcoholic. He was, unfortunately, a heavy chain smoker which lead to his demise.
I love his Christmas album. ❤️❤️
True. Martin's glass usually contained Apple Juice when he performed with the Rat Pack.
@@ricardocantoral7672 he was smart as far as that.
Someone asked him if he ever fell down when he was drunk and he said yes I fall down in the street all the time and pointed at his cuff links and said yeah these are really curb feelers.
Dean Martin seldom drank. Only used being a drunk for comedy,thought all knew this.
That changed when his son died in a plane crash.
he took drugs, that's why he didn't drink. that has been established
That is true
obviously this guy is clueless. .
That is what the two books I read about him said. He didn't drink.
I'm surprised Jack Cassidy isn't on this list. The man literally died of a fire started from a cigarette he was smoking while he was drunk. His drinking messed up a lot of relationships in his life, including the relationship he had with is son David who also died from alcoholic-related issues.
He was a very troubled (barely) closeted gay man.
Very interesting thank you
Steve Marriott of Small Faces comes to mind with this story of Jack. So similar.
He was a HORRIBLE Father to David!!!
Many Bipolars like Jack, Drink until they get medicated, most don't get medicated, I don't think Jack did.
Dean wasn't an alcoholic. According to several close friends he wasn't even a heavy drinker - it was all part of the act.
Yep, he was actually an appleholic, drinking apple juice most of the time.
@@9Ballr What a stupid remark. It proves again that Americans have no sense of humor. There have only been three funny Americans in history, Charlie Chaplin, Stan Laurel and Victor Borge. And the first two were English, the third was Danish.
BS
HM,. IN THAT CASE, FOSTER BROOKS WAS BORNE WITH A BARNDY BOTTLE, WITH TEA IN IT??!
Dean drank 3-4 apple tonics with no booze at the start of each episode he made, after those, he would let it rip with plenty of booze!!its from an interview of his daughter in the late 90s!
I'm about to go into alcohol rehab myself. Watching this video gives me some sort of ease in facing my own issues. I'm sharing.
@seantlewis376 It takes courage, strength and bravery to do it. Best of luck to you!
Be Strong and Hang in There! I was forced into rehab therefore I didn’t succeed, however I eventually got tired of the constant pain and stress, depression and thought about all stuff I put my family through. I just one day said I’ve had it and quit! It wasn’t easy, I went through my detox at home. My husband said I reeked of alcohol during my detox. Well that’s was just a little bit of my experience. You can do it! Some do it in a facility and some reach that moment of clarity and just stop.
Good luck with rehab. That is a big step.
🙏🙏🙏🙏
@seantlewis376...Good luck
Robin Williams had LBD! He died not from alcohol, but from depression arising from LBD. Get your facts straight.

@@lindataylor3195 Google it.
I can't believe you didn't have Lee Marvin!
LEE MARVIN WAS UNFUKINBELIEVABLE! TOO BAD HE DIED YOUNG. HE HAD QUITE A LIFE.
LOOK INTO IT.
How does someone like Dean Martin make this list of alcoholics if drinking was only part of his stage persona?.?
Dean Martin would dine at the restaurant that I worked at in Century City. It was Yamato's. He would be with his date. He would have two champagne cocktails, and that's all. When another person would open his tatami room door. Dean Martin would pretend to be drunk. His drinking on his show was apple juice. I've read books about him, pretending to be drunk. It was part of his act. He was a very talented actor and singer. He was always so nice, to let people disturb him on a date.
When his son Dino died . It broke his heart. So R.I.P. Dean and hope that you're with Dino
and the rest of your family that have died.
he was on narcotics, which is why he had to limit his alcohol consumption, the coroner, discovered that after his autopsy
Jerry Lewis stated in an interview that Dean Martin became a reclusive alcoholic after Dino's death. However, as @angelbabysqueaky stated, he only had a drink or two at the most but would pretend to be drunk as part of his act.
They were all so handsome, pretty.
Looks aren't everything.

@@captaincarl8230
...and yet here he is on a list of alcoholic celebs. Gotta love YT truth vs fiction.
My husband died from alchoholism at age 64. It truly will shorten your life to drink heavily everyday.
Cary Grant - had a trauma disorder. That's why he took LSD treatment wich was usual in the fifties. Rita Hayworth had Alzheimers disease. When she was confused and lost the tabloids said she was an alcoholic.
his trauma was a life out of Dickens. He was born into extreme poverty. At about age 11 he came home from school to find his mother GONE. She had been placed in a psychiatric institution but he was told she was vacationing by the seaside. Soon after his father deserted him to start a new family. Heaven knows HOW he ever made a life for himself. The suave gorgeous man onscreen carried a hell of a lot of PTSD and shock inside of him. When you know this, it makes his career and fine characterizations even more amazing.
@@virginiasoskin9082 I know how his live was and how he himself invented Cary Grant. That's why I reacted because he was not an alcoholic and LSD treatments were used in the fifties and accordingly it helped him a lot.
Anthony Hopkins was very open about his recovery. I've been sober now for 34 years and felt a sort of kinship with what he went through and what he shared. They say only 3% of alcoholics actually win the battle. That's a very low percentage.
well done, you beat me by a year it was 33 years last September for me
@@davecannabis September 6th for me!! Congratulations!
@@dog-gone-it5944 3rd Sep for me lol
It's actually 10% make it three years without a relapse.
That percentage is definitely not accurate, and it's probably wrong in both directions. First, that 3% is probably only measuring how many of a certain number are still sober after a certain amount of time (maybe a year or two), meaning many of that 3% probably relapse later on. On the other hand, that 3% is probably only measuring the success rate of a group who quit at a specific moment in time. It doesn't account for those who later attempt to quit again. Probably half or even much more than this have success eventually, and then some of these go back, and then most of these quit again. Most people, in any event, stop eventually.
Anyhow, I think we set ourselves up for a morbid evaluation by using absurd criteria. Someone quits for 5, 10, or 20 years, and establishes a family, career, and partially built nest egg. Then they get drunk, and we're all expected to declare, "ohhh, woe to them! All those years were for *nothing!"* At this point, everyone (including the drinker) starts waiting for this person to "hit bottom," which is a mythical phenomenon in which a drinker must destroy everything in life before they can then rally their resolve to rebuild everything all over again. Now, we have a self-fulfilling prophecy that demands they completely wreck everything they've acquired, judging that, without sobriety, its all valueless anyways (wth!). Everything needs to be sacrificed on the altar of "permanent sobriety." Even if they're only relapsing for a few days every few years, everything they achieve prior to "permanent sobriety" is to be regarded as fool's gold. According to this insane thinking, it would be much better for them to go all out and destroy it all with this relapse in order to produce a state of "surrender" than for them to come to their senses, mitigate the damage, and leave open *any* possibility of ever relapsing again.
Lets get this clear: Dean only drank a lot after shock of his sons death and this late in life He never got over that. Essentially he died of a broken heart, the drink.was just to dull the pain. Parents would you blame him??? Stop defaming Deans memory by putting him on this list. His drinking was all an. act. Dean we love you.
Some of his colleagues say that his whiskey glasses were only filled with ice tea.
@@klaus-peterkubiak7795or apple juice I read somewhere.
Bravo !
Your denial is as bad as the addict's.
Anyway he was not the drunkard (or ladykiller) that some people say he was. He was very reliable and serious in his job. @@silverghostcat1924
Awesome video, but Leonard Nimoy did not die from 'smoking', he died from having lived 83 years on the Earth.
I read Ann-Margret's autobiography in high school. She was candid about her struggle with alcoholism, and how she was able to triumph over it.
Never understood how someone could be an alcoholic, even though it is considered a disease, it is an addiction instead. A disease to me is like mononucleosis, which almost killed me, or cancer which got my Mom. Alcoholism to me is more a terrible habit. Don't hate me for my opinion. It is mine.
you're right, the first drink a person choses. just like over eating. or gambling.@@stevenrussell5340
@@stevenrussell5340 There is a difference between being an addict and having a "terrible habit." Pretty sure you know the horrors of addiction - I don't have to tell you.
@@fadedrose9 I agree, any addiction or habit is hard to break. I am not or ever been addicted to anything, but I do understand the curse of one. I have seen too many people go through various ones.

The personal assistant of frank sinatra wrote in his book that among the brat pack dean martin doesnt drink and a good family man. It's only a props holding a glass on his stage act.
Micheal Landon came to our city to be grand marshal of our 50th Anniversary Parade in 1973, he was more interested in finding the nearest bars than any thing else.
Sure he was. He seemed to have a great career. Verify your facts before accusing somebody you don't even know.
Carried him to the motel room at the lake of the Ozarks during his first divorce. He was very thankful..

Dean Martin was not a drinker.
My father knew Dean Martin , they were good friends.
Apple juice = scotch
Iced Tea = Bourbon
Water = Vodka
After my dad told me that , I used that trick when I tended bar .
The customers thought that I was downing a drink that they bought me .......
But I was just drinking apple juice and iced tea .
He drank apple juice while on stage with the rest of the rat pack.
He was not. I know.
What do you mean?
Dean Martin did drink
Good for you ❤ thumbs up
Dean Martin was a teetotaler. The 'whiskey' he drank on set was apple juice. I was embarrassed when I found out. The man was a comedian doing alcoholic schtick. A number of guys did that. But Dean Martin drank less alcohol than a Baptist. I'm uncomfortable with rumors and gossip that are phony.
he was a Hollywood faker - faking alcoholism
Judging from this list there have been no alcoholics in Hollywood since 1980.
There probably are...we just don't "hear" about them as much as those who "abuse drugs"....yet, "alcohol" is a sorta "drug"....🫤
Contrary to what people say, Dean Martin was a teetotaler. His family confirmed that it was even rare that he would have a beer maybe once every few years. All the 'alcohol' he was ever seen with was Coca-Cola, tea, or something else innocuous. It was all for appearances since Frank Sinatra was a heavy drinker and would say he couldn't trust anyone that didn't have a drink in their hands.
Dean Martin became a very gifted actor and it was all an act.
Maybe not a true teetotaler -- I think he'd have a social drink on occasion -- but definitely not the lush he portrayed in his act. Sinatra was a much heavier (and more destructive) drinker than Martin ever was.
Not a complete teetotaller, but definitely not a drinker. Apple juice. Not true about Sinatra either. Dean was a shy person, and when he started out in Vegas, he needed a prop to keep him company - so a drink was the choice.
So many were left off of this list; including Dana Andrews, Desi Arnaz, Ernest Borgnine, Audie Murphy, Fatty Arbuckle, Ray Milland, Tyrone Power, Bud Abbott, Jackie Gleason, and dozens of other noteworthy stars.
So many of these stars had demons long before they became discovered!
And they forgot..Oliver Reed, the great Scottish actor, who could drink..anybody..under the table..
Ernest Borgnine?
@@bones007able if he was a drunk..he lived pretty long..till 95. He did mention, part of his longevity, was..he jacked off alot..seriously..
Big Time lush. He liked beating up Ethel Merman.
@@bones007able
A lot of partiers here but I don't think any of them quite destroyed themselves from solely alcohol as young as Gail Russell, dying just 36. A lot of them definitely seemed to have crazier lives in general while Gail was a heavy introvert (also a mostly forgotten actress TBH) so not as 'interesting' to read about, but I think she deserves the #1 spot just for dying the youngest from just this one thing.
Robin Williams decided to end his life mainly because of depression and discovering that he had onset Dementia and Parkinson's..losing control was too much to bear
Robin's suicide was because he was suffering from Lewy Body Dementia which was causing him, among other things, horrific hallucinations.
@@craiglancastermarr4016 He had also just lost his best friend and closest confident ,Johnathon Winters earlier that year.
Are you sure you're not drunk? with the amount of incorrect images shown in the narration!!
👍👍👍👀
I don't drink water water 'cuz fish fuck in it
Why is Dean Martin even on this list. I have heard that he rarely drank.
I have seen shots of him with watery, red rimmed eyes. Looked plastered to me.
@davidvenesky9053 Sometimes he drank a lot. There is a Johnny Carson show where he is very drunk (it is not fake).
He is not a drunk
ARE YOU KIDDING ME? HOW IS JACKIE GLEASON NOT ON THIS LIST?
Or Milton Berle for that matter
Another notable omission was lee Marvin
It says 50 alcoholics, NOT ALL alcoholics!

He was sometimes a drunk.

@@NoExitLoveNow NOPE
@@coloradopackratprepper Yup.
Alcohol abuse ravages your looks too. You can look at Errol Flynn spoiled his handsome face, he died when he was 50, but looked like he was at least 20 yrs. older. Ava Gardner ruin her beauty with alcohol. What about Frances Farmer ,alcohol and too many lobotomies, ruined a great talent. Alcohol ruined many faces and great talents. It's so sad that alcohol took too many from us.
😂😅 Maybe so .but what a hell of a party 🎉 while it's lasts . I will drink to that !...
John Barrymore lost his looks to alcohol too. If you watch some of his later movies, it looks as if he’s drunk on screen.
There is a story Olivia deHavilland told about Flynn. She was at a party and someone tapped her on the shoulder. When she turned around she saw this old man whom she did not recognize. Taken aback, he said, "Olivia, it's me...Errol!" She was shocked how aged and bloated he looked. Alcohol devastates the body and all the organs. No wonder these ppl died at 50...they were embalming themselves with alcohol, drugs, and nicotine while still alive. Horrible. That said, Hollywood can be a cruel and extremely competitive place and everyone pays for that in one way or another -- alcohol, drugs, smoking; being sexually or physically abused or doing the abusing. It is a high pressure business like being in a pool with piranhas, and I really would not be able to deal with all the crap that goes with just making a film. It is so much more than memorizing lines and showing up on the set to act. It's the publicity, over-attention to your appearance, weight, physical strength, travel, living accommodations, foreign film locations that may be extremely hot or cold, late nights, very early mornings, etc. Yoga, massage, rehab...just one thing after another. If you want a high risk life be an actor!!!
You really need to look up more information about Frances Farmer - "too many lobotomies"... Jesus, take the freakin' wheel...
❤
The last photo of Barrymore was not a photo of him, it was a photo of actor Christopher Plummer.
There are several mis-named images here.
They also used a shot of Errol Flynn and then showed it again in the Flynn section!
True. I was just about to point out the same observation!
14:05 That's not Mary Astor, that's bette davis. LOL
Doctor:"Do you drink a lot of alcohol?" "No, I spill most of it."
Despite all the comments about Dean Martin, I feel I must add one more. When I was young I lived in Bernardsville, where the TD Band was headquartered. Dean and Frank would attend card parties next door to where I lived. Some Friday night, Saturday mornings I could look out my bedroom window and see Dino carrying Frank out to the car so they could leave the party. Dean's actual drink of choice was Martinelli's sparkling cider, which I myself indulge in occasionally, and I quit drinking alcohol back in the 1980's.
Rita H had Alzheimer’s, that’s what led to her behavior later in life.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Dang all the Barrymores hit the list
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Singer Lillian Roth was the most famous alcoholic in the world. Her drinking was immortalized in the film, I'll Cry Tomorrow. Susan Hayward played Lillian in the film. Because Lillian's voice was gone at that point, Susan Hayward did her own singing.
The book. I'll cry tomorrow was so much better than the movie.
Wasn't Lillian Roth a lesbian?
Who knows? I didn't get that impression from the book. Does it matter? She was another victim of Hollywood. Pimped out by her mother more or less. Evidently Hollywood has been twisted from the beginning but what can you expect from a world where everything is an act. How would you ever know what was real? Just a bunch of actors acting.
Susan Hayward was MY redhead, and Maureen O'Hara was next. Susan was gifted as an actress (Oscar for I WANT TO LIVE), but she didn't sing. Best story is, true ghost singers dubbed for her--like the fabulous Marnie Nixon, who made a lot of actresses look like singers.

Keep going. Give up some of your old "friends" and remember, one drink is too many and a thousand aren't enough.,
These were the days before the development of antidepressants to treat depression.
Cary Grant did not take LSD to fight his alcoholism. His doctor, Dr. Hartman, suggested that he use LSD to help him deal with personal issues. Grant found the treatments to be beneficial.
This is the first time I've heard of Cary Grant using LSD.
Rita Hayworths story is heartbreaking. Did she drink? Yes. Probably because she was abused by her father at a very young age. And the horrible photographs you so of her getting out of a plain, in my view, have a lot to do with the fact that she had Alzheimer at in her fifties. Poor poor woman.
@@MarielleStowe Read the serious articles. She was. Although her mother, Volga Hayworth, tried to protect her, Rita later told Orson that her father sexually molested her when they were on the road - and she remained permanently scarred by the experience
She also had to undergo painful electrolysis to recede her hairline. Studios felt she looked to ethnic with her original hairline.

@@franktillman295 I'm assuming you're joking, but it's still not funny my friend
I think Carrie Fisher was absolutely right, she wrote, "if you have a need to be comfortable all the time..." That's the whole problem in a nut shell. No body should expect to be comfortable all the time! For every human on this Planet. Life will always, guaranteed, be rough. We all will be sad at some time in life. We all will be uncomfortable. Even if you have Jesus in your heart. Bad things happen. Narcissists sure add to the stress of life.
Exactly! People in recovery will say, "Get comfortable with being uncomfortable." Some people don't want to feel their feelings, so they turn to some sort of addictive behavior to cover it up. I think her comments were the most important part of this video.
How true, comfort isn't always a good thing
That line stuck out for me too. Makes sense.
Dean Martin was not a drinker
You show pictures of Bette Davis when you're talking about Mary Astor, and a picture of Errol Flynn, and a picture of Christopher Plummer when talking about John Barrymore, And that is NOT Ann Margret at 25:30- she never had that much hair and looks nothing like her.
Bette Davis and Mary made a movie in 1941 The Great Lie. Bette rewrote some of the script and Mary won for Best Supporting Actress.
I always think of O'Toole when I think of legendary drinkers. He lived his life to the fullest even if he couldn't remember much of it. I would love to have had the chance to sit down with him and listen to his stories.
HOW the freakin' HELL did they ever even remember all their lines???????😱😱🤦♀🤦♀🙄🙄🌴🌴
It's called functioning alcoholism!!!!
Cue cards held up by assistants.
So many actors and actresses died from alcohol or tobacco back in the old days and even today they just won't learn....So sad....
Back in the 30's-70's it was fashionable to smoke cigarettes in the movies. And that is also why it became an almost plague back then.
Robin Williams did not die due to addiction. He committed suicide because he was diagnosed with a neuro degenerative disease and he could not face it. How would we react in such a situation? That is hard to say.
Actually according to his the doctors misdiagnosed him she felt that if he had been correctly diagnosed it would have made a difference.

@@spnkysy791 hence why they said “also”…
Robin Williams didn't die from alcoholism. "Although actor Robin Williams died by suicide, the underlying cause of his death was a rare brain disease called Lewy body dementia." And re: Mary Astor, among the photos you showed Bette Davis, not Astor. There were several other questionable comments. You might assume this is light-hearted entertainment (your voice) but these are people who deserve some gravitas when talking about their problems. You have numerous wrong photos!
Mary Astor was in the Bette Davis movie Hush Hush Sweet Charlotte but they didn't show the right photo.
Did they forget Jackie Gleason?
The 1st pic you showed, after announcing William Holden, was Robert Wagner with Stephanie Powers. Why was that??
She was involved with him. He died around the same time as Natalie Wood.
Yes.
Most on this list, and others who commenters mention, were from the same 1930's - 1980's era when drinking and smoking were part of the western world's culture.
John Wayne combined a 7 pack a day habit with his alcoholism.
His son said he smoked so much that he was a one match a day man.
Lee Marvin is missing from that list
if you grew up in the 1950s, smoking, and drinking went hand and hand, then boom 💥 the 60s, and fastion your seat belts the 70s 😮😮😮
Most of these folks also smoked like freight trains which also not only led to them looking bad but to their early demise.
but you can quit cigs, harder with booze as it becomes a metabolic disorder.
Great for Anthony Hopkins. He gave inspiration to many in the same situation & the loss of incredible work on the screen if he didn't stop his drinking . Great when those who open up about their addictions in thee hope it will help others.😊 9:18
Gail Russell of angel and the bad man with John Wayne. She died at 36 do to her drinking. She was found by her neighbors and it was said that she chocked on her own vomit and vodka bottles all around here and her house. All so she was suffering from malnutrition .
I SHALL DRINK NO WINE BEFORE ITS TIME!!!

Cary took LSD to cure his trauma from his childhood. He never abused alcohol.
I tend to agree with you. Grant was a top athlete and took great care of himself. After his acting career ended he became a worldwide ambassador for Revlon cosmetics. If he was alcoholic, there’s no way he could have kept that job.
If Mr Spock was a alcoholic, then there is no help for the rest of us.
It’s such a shame when people let the drink take over their lives I started drinking at 15 but never let it own me I still drink now but only socially and never keep the stuff in the home and go days without it I don’t want to die of drink related issues at my own hands I’m just so sorry for all those lovely people God rest their souls

It's so tiresome, seeing the inevitable silliness about Dean Martin: "But he drank apple juice on stage." Gosh, that means he couldn't be an alcoholic? Is everybody 12 on these boards?
Cary Grant.... The dark side🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷🍷, but not every one drinks as an actor today, I think, and Dean Martin was super.🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩, William Holden, may they All Rest in Peace....🤔🤔🙏🏼🙏🏼💓
Yup Andre loved beer. But he was a great man with a great heart! NOBODY is perfect! 🙏🙏
Dean was not the drinker they say he is. It was an act. Gv it a break. I love him regardless.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Don't have a single favorite, but let's call it a favorite four: Richard Burton, Peter O'Toole, Oliver Reed and Richard Harris. Imagine the hell they got up to.
@Hello there, how are you doing this blessed day?
Gig Young was once married to Elizabeth Montgomery. He was her second husband.
When showing photos of the person being talked about, use the right photos! With John Barrymore, you showed a photo of his son John Jr. with a moustache and beard also you showed Christopher Plummer at the end of the segments regarding John Barrymore!!
Cary Grant. His doctor prescribed him LSD to cure his alcoholism. LMAO
Why? It was and is an effective treatment.
His wife Betsy Drake turned him on to LSD. He was not an alcoholic.
Do you mean to imply that sloppy research and ethics are used when making on a CZcams video?? I'm shocked. SHOCKED!
Really enjoyed the whole show! Thanks!
We all die of course, but choices we make can hurry it up
Gregory Peck cured his alcoholism with LSD being guided by his doctor. Afterwards he lived a full healthy life and dies in his eighties. Now , which of these two drugs is legal in human society , the alchohol or the LSD , and why ?
For most of the time in the last century, drinking large amounts was considered "sociable" for women and manly for men in the western world. Hence, lots of people got addicted to booze at an early age.
On February 15, 2024, I'll have 44 years of sobriety. Thank you, God!
❤😢Judy Garland 😢❤
9:12 Thats not William Holden!! Robert Wagner. 13:05. Thats Bette Davis, not Mary Astor!! 14:04. Again Bette!
With Rita Hayworth it was Alzheimers that made her act weird, not alcohol!
And that's not John Barrymore at 33:57, that's Christopher Plummer. That picture was probably taken more than 50 years after Barrymore died.
@@1pinestreetActually think at 33:57 it is John Barrymore and at 34:00 that is Christopher Plummer!
Frank Sinatra used to say that Dean Martin once had to go to hospital for tests and that they found blood in his alcohol system.
Number 34 at 13.05 is Betty Davis not Mary Astor.
That was from The Great Lie 1941 that Bette and Mary starred in.
Uh, Johnny Carson should be here. I've seen it.
Dean Martin was not a drinker. The drink jokes were part of his on-stage schtick. He drank apple juice most of the time.
Several of the photos you used are NOT of the actor you accuse of drinking.
👍👍👍👀
There was a picture of Christopher Plummer who played Barrymore.
Too many of these actors are damaged before they get in front of a camera. Many have self esteem issues, which leads to other poor choices!
Twice showed Betty Davis and called her someone else. 34:02 Shows Christopher Plummer and calls him Lionel Barrymore.
The 'Giant' , Nemoy, Bow, and Grant are New to me, first I remember hearing their story. Talking of Denis Price (I don't remember the name), @3:02, why an image of Dirk Bogard? Talking William Holden, @9:11 an image of the "Harts"? Gail Russel, Barbra Lee Payton, Marie Prevost, are not a face nor name I recognize. Gets boring, Too Long, better as a two parter of 25 each.
Re: Hart to Hart- Stephanie Powers was Holden's love interest.
Pills of all sorts also killed off these celebs such as Judy Garland and Elvis Presley etc....these doctor "handlers" were told to give these to the stars.....or be sorry.....so sad.....🤔
Elvis' death was from a heart attack. See Valsalva Maneuver
Elvis had several health issues which contributed to his death.
Many of these stars and other prominent people had their Dr. Feelgoods to cater to them. They rarely refused them anything, which in some cases, eventually did them in.
The WW2 generation took the brunt of their times in the forms of Alcohol and cigarettes. It got them thru the worst of times and experiences when they were young and tormented them when they got older. The poor Russians don't even have that hope, it is killing them all while they are still young then and now . What a waste.
One drink is too much and a barrel is never enough. 🙄
Enjoying a martini and now a fine Chardonnay while watching this video.
