Vintage Chat Show Anecdotes

Above: Two British actors no longer with us, Oliver Reed and
Richard Harris, share a few anecdotes on The Michael Parkinson
show back in 1973.
Oliver Reed conveys a story on how George Bernard Shaw was
propositioned by a young socialite at a cocktail party.
While Richard Harris reflects back to the time on the set of that great
troubled movie Mutiny on the Bounty and how the star of the
film Marlon Brando had problems remembering his lines.

I suppose for some fans of vintage tv it must seem strange seeing
Oliver Reed completely sober on a tv chat show as he was well
known for turning up completely plastered while sipping from
a large jug of vodka and orange as he famously once did on
The Michael Aspel show back in the late 1980's.
