I carried Mr. Brynner twice on flights I was working, he was traveling with his last wife. He could not have been more gracious, self deprecating and just wonderful. He wanted my name first of all and used it throughout the flights. Warned us with his distinctive but diminished voice about smoking. He carried his on Fresca soda's and had me put them on ice for him. Both occasions he was gentle, amusing and Wonderful which I already said, but I mean it. One of my greatest moments flying.

An unusually attractive and charismatic man, especially in the Rameses role (and outfits). What a voice; what a gaze; what presence; what an actor. Unforgettable.

His heart felt interview about not smoking, knowing he was dying at the time convinced me to stop smoking. Thank you Yul. Always enjoyed his acting skill.

[CityThatCannotBeCaptured]

He was fabulous; incredibly handsome, spoke impeccable French and other languages, amazingly talented and skilled.

I have had a crush on Yul Brynner since I first saw him in the film version of the King and I. I wept buckets when he died in the film. I have loved the look of a bald head ever since I saw his. He was fantastically sexy and incredibly handsome. I was just a mere child when he was at the height of his fame. Has any other mongolian/russian/hungarian every become such a superstar in history? I can't think of one person who has. He was incredible and it is such a shame he died the way he did. Such a sad ending to a truly amazing actor. They just don't make them like that any more. Rest in Peace Yul Brynner, you were incredible. What a loss.

I never smoked after being so impressed by his PSA. I am forever grateful to a man I never met!

A close relative of my ex wife was his personal assistant for many years. He was very generous and very nice she said.

[robmcgowan]

One of the most electrifying and mesmerizing actors ever. No films made today are worthy of his brilliance.

[mangoMango-cket]

And there hasn't been an equal to Yul Brunner since.... a Great actor, and humanitarian.R.I.P.

[machtschnell]

His PSA was dramatic and highly impactful. It should still be aired.

He shaved his head for the role of The King, and then kept it that way full time. He was 23 the first time he played The King. When he reprised the role for stage in the 70's, he was in his 50's. He said now he could now identify with the King better and give his performances more depth. I saw him live at the Pantages in Hollywood in the 70's. I will never, ever forget it.

As a kid every Easter we’d watch 10 Commandments. YB was the first man I ever seen wear a skirt and fitted top and look so good. He played the hell out of Ramsey’s . ♥️❤️‍🔥

[michelleelizabeth]

Truly talented actor, very handsome and fascinating. Loved him in the Ten Commandments

I first came a cross Yul Brynner as a child on television in Anna And The King from 1972, a short lived series that really deserved a much longer run. Remember this show fondly...

[b.b.finsclara]

I loooved him. His self-assurance A MAN'S MAN. When asked who would be in your wish list Brynner, Gregory Peck, Sean Connery and others i can quite recall Yul Brynner stole my heart during my childhood....in the 10 the subsequent films he made. I loooved him. What a personality!

[Starshadow]

He was one of the very few men who could have tossed his shoes under my bed any old day.

He was a terrific actor, too.

[timirish]

He was a gracious man and was courteously kind to those who were courteously kind to him. He was a remarkable artist in whichever field he chose. And it was he who taught Steve McQueen how to act on film (go for fewer lines and more expression).

My grandfather came from the Czech Republic in what was then Bohemia and was named Julius. He went by Yula as a nickname especially with his Czech family and friends. He also went by Jules, Julian, Julie. When he finally retired he had to go back to the old country to get his baptismal record to prove who he was. He didn’t have a birth certificate which I guess was not unusual? My grandfather was an actor in Cleveland, Ohio and he was a bit of a con man/salesman for most of his life. His family came to the States in the early turn of the century and things were very different back then. You could invent yourself and bullshit yourself through a lot of things. It was a Bohemian gypsy life in a way. I wonder if he found Yule Brenner to be an “influencer”.
Great channel. Love your work. Well researched. 🤍✌🏽🕊

[williamcarey]

Saw him in his last run of The King and I when he was terminal . Still great
