Peter Sellers talks about his heart attack

Peter Sellers discussing his heart attack and 'death'.

[allys]

I can’t blame peter for going mad all the time. He had at least 15 heart attacks throughout his life. A lot of people can barely survive one.

[bartofilms]

I love that Peter Sellers was able to make fun of his near-death experience. I now wonder if it was a Kobe Engineering Defibrillator/Crash Cart that saved his life. I know one of the Engineers who helped develop that device.

He should have been afraid and stopped his drug abuse. ALL these "heart attacks" by stars under 65 are traced back to uppers like coke or meth. But fame and money they take for granted . Life too.

Glad God had him where he could get help and a chance to consider the next life. Love Peter Sellers. He was so talented and funny and his working is helping even now. God bless him and his family.

I was only a child in the 60's in England so too young to watch him . Dr Strangelove i found a unique film but really ODDBALL. I much preferred him in the Pink Panther films. He died young from heart attack but throughout his life he was what was called then MANIC DEPRESSIVE but in recent years has been called BI-POLAR. He was just so clever it was so over the top really.

I met Peter Seller's and he never knew his own real voice!

I JUST LOVE PETER SELLARS (VIRGO) (THE EARTH GLOBE)

[gjmaztr]

I'd guess the interview is between 1971 & 1975, since he looks to just past his 'Magic Christian' film role.

[NxDoyle]

Say what you like about Peter, he sure knew how to play to a TV studio filled with Irish Catholics.

[cameroncooper]

At least he was conscience to know he had a soul

[stevewilkinson]

Yes the soul didn't leave
I like he said it was just like falling asleep
But 15 times...!

[jaysilverheals]

just for the record nobody has ever come back to life after death. The stoppage of the heart is just a term used. dead is dead. even with stoppage of the heart it takes quite a while for the brain to die and people have went a lot longer than 2 minutes and reported back how their mind was still active. also during those minutes they would have been doing cpr etc which is a different setting than if a person 'drops dead" walking to store and not happened upon for minutes

[connoroleary]

The lips move into vague approximations of smiles, but the eyes are still dead.

[MrDaiseymay]

WHEN---WAS THIS INTERVIEW ?? HOW BLOODY ANNOYING, NO DATE.

[bobbydazzler]

Sounds and looks like an older Elon musk?
