He may just be giving a great performance as a dead guy.
Too soon?
3x5” index cards will go on the clearance rack soon.
Never heard of him. Is this from England?
Thank you for sharing. His show influenced my career choices.
Nope. Show was on the Bravo network for like 25 years.
About the only. Thing I ever watched on Bravo. He was a good interviewer. And ninety-three is a good run. Same age as my dad and same Ailment. RIP.
the one interview I remember was with Clint Eastwood and in the crowd was a young Bradley Cooper..who would have thought these 2 would make American Sniper together.
The only pitch BC said repeatedly to make the movie was “it’s like Unforgiven” ..
He conducted some of the most articulate and engaging “celebrity”
interviews ever. As noted earlier, he prepared and focused on the
craft of acting.
His is work is worth watching.
So he was like a Charley Rose type interviewer; in depth, but w/o the distraction of personal scandals. That’s a rare breed of interviewer today.
“Lipton made a point of keeping the questions on the craft and study of acting”
Politics were hardly EVER mentioned. I enjoyed him.
Rest in Peace.
Enjoyed his work greatly.
I liked him. The few times I watched the show was before Hollywood went completely to the pits of Hell. I found him very entertaining. RIP Mr. Lipton
Hey we just discovered Dick Van Dyke is 94.
and a communist.
I sort of knew that before. He’s been laying low until this Bernie love.
RIP, Mr. Lipton. I enjoyed his show almost as much a I enjoyed Will Farrell’s parodies of it. And, as much as I despise Alec Baldwin, Baldwin did a hilarious Charles Nelson Riley impression on one of those SNL skits. Another very funny skit had Lipton/Farrell interviewing “Screech” from Saved by the Bell.
Condolences to family and friends of James Lipton. Unique individual on the tubes. R.I.P., sir. Thanks.
