She’s so smart and yet people didn’t think of her like that because she’s so fun and charming too.

I wish I could tell her how much I appreciate her work. She was something else. Very unique person in every way. I saw her first in the Poseidon Adventure on tv back when I was 8 or 9. I could be off a bit but I'm 52 now. I love that movie. Shelly always stood out and as I've been revisiting this movie I took the time to view her other work and it's impressive and moving to me. She's great in my opinion. I love you Shelly Winters ❤️

I miss her, loved her work. Wonderful lady.

I always admired Shelley Winters for lack of fear to portray flawed and sometimes despicable characters. She really was a brilliant talent.

[NelsonHarper-pevt]

I remember an interview in which she talked about her discussions with the director of A Patch of Blue. She was trying to get all Method-y with the director and finding backstory and analyzing. And he apparently said "No. I just want you to be a bigoted bitch. There's no back story to that." And she was eminently detestable in that movie. Incredible performance.

The intelligence of this lady is palpable ... she got into the right profession.

I have a photo of myself at two years old, playing with Shelley Winters and Lana Turner in Lana's house. My parents were invited there a few times in the 60's, back when they were performing at a popular nightclub. I've always regretted not stopping to at Musso and Frank's to say hello and tell Ms. Winters how much my parents enjoyed their friendship with her. :)

I serve her dinner in Hawaii one time and the maitre d asked me if I knew who she was? I said no, and she busted out laughing she thought it was the funniest thing :)

I read her autobiography years ago. Thank you for making this video for her. She was so funny.

[bluefinster]

Great interview!
Shelley was far too intelligent to pull off a sex kitten image. Despite that era Shelley was able to carve a path in the industry with brilliance. Shelley was a person I'd enjoy conversing with.
