Apparently this is from another soap opera he as on:

When I read about that in his biography, I didn't know I'd get to see it! Ruth Warrick really did get in on the action, lol.
-
If I'm correct that is from "All my children". Oh!! I can't believe Louie did a thing like that.
-
What the hell was that?
-
THAT was priceless!!! He looked pretty good too. >:D
-
i wish i had never seen that.
that grotesque imagery will be burned onto my retina forever.
if i could try and date it i would guess that this was from the late 1980's.a time when louis' character had largely been written into the background.soaps often keep older characters around and then trot them out from time to time for events like weddings and funerals(and whatever this ghastly doing this was)without actively writing storylines for them.
this is actually a surprising amount of nudity for a daytime t.v. show. :o

Craig Hamrick didn't pin down the date in his book, but the events described before and after are indeed from the late 1980s. He wrote that the soap event was a beauty pageant, taping had been dragging on, and during a long delay LE decided to liven things up.
-
so does that mean that this never actually made it to air and it's just some sort of out take?
-
mscbryk,
I thought the same thing, my eyes practically turned to stone! haha I will never be able to view Roger the same again. BTW, it was great meeting you at the Fest and chatting. And thanks for the heads up on the First Year of DS book, I am really enjoying it.

I do find it hard to believe that made it on daytime television in the early 80's. Love scenes or anything sexual back then was tame.
-
LOL...my sense of reality just took a slight shift! I'd say that seemed a little wild for daytime even now. If it actually aired then I guess you might say that his Langley character was a lot less repressed than Roger Collins. The most I could see Roger doing would have been a few silly poses in front of a mirror - and then only in a tee shirt or fully dressed.
-
I hope I look that good when I reach that age.
I wish I looked that good now.

Yeah...exactly...
While I certainly have to give Louis credit for staying in shape over the years, I certainly could have lived a long and happy life without seeing so much evidence of his commitment to physical fitness. ::)
I never did care much for male strippers, and this video reinforced those feelings! ;)

You know, I feel the same way about the whole idea too. I find myself getting a bit embarrassed for them. :-[
-
Now THIS is art. (Forget about that doll video).
Title for video: "If I have just One Life To Live, let me live it as a blonde"
-
I'm with you!!! I think he looked great! Shake that moneymaker, Louis!!!!! ;D
-
Louis showed me the stripper video in the 90s, shortly after he appeared in my film Next Year in Jerusalem.
That footage never aired.
It was shot at Ruth Warrick's on set 70th birthday party at All My Children.
They were just having fun, and reportedly, Ruth LOVED it!

==================================
Me too! Go Louis! I love it when so called "older folks" break the barriers and show they still have it no matter the age! Looks like they had good fun-more power to 'em! [cheer] [cheer]

I'm so happy to see people saying this. Changing subjects slightly, I've been reading various online reactions to Tell Me You Love Me. David Selby and Jane Alexander had a bedroom scene in the most recent episode, and some of the negative responses to people over 60 having sex on television have just baffled me. ::)
-
This thread reminds me of a line from the film South Pacific, the first movie I ever saw.
The Seargent to Lt. Joe Cable:
"I myself am over 50, and I am by no means through!!!"

Really God forbid that. Usually they get cast as someones grandfather/grandmother wearing a cardigan sweater playing golf or sitting at the breakfast nook with a coffee cup. Or the dreaded depends commerical. Those two are two very good looking people too. Who in their right mind would have a problem with that?
-

Probably the immature people who are in denial that their parents (and grandparents) have sex. ::)

my parents had sex?
YUCK!
(well I do have a brother, so I guess they did it at least twice!)

Poor Roger got none but this adonis in the video got some and then some more!!!

Ok, I have to admit that I did laugh at that, but only because the show is supposed to be comedy/satire. It's the people who say the same stuff completely seriously who scare me.

Not to go 100 miles off-topic (maybe we need a special "Tell Me You Love Me" thread).... But regarding the TMYLM reviews, there's some irony that "Feast Of Love", in which Ms. Alexander is playing another 60-something wife (to Morgan Freeman), was criticized by our local reviewer for NOT being explicit ENOUGH (for an R-rated film, anyway:)
http://www.connpost.com/moviereview/ci_7006299 (http://www.connpost.com/moviereview/ci_7006299)
QUOTE: "Feast of Love" examines the balance of sex and love in romantic relationships. Advance reports and the movie's trailer indicated that this would be a much more frank approach to sex than we've seen before in a mainstream Hollywood film. But, after last year's "Shortbus" and the current HBO series "Tell Me You Love Me," Benton's handling of the nudity and sex scenes seems hopelessly old-fashioned.
Indeed, it is amusing to compare what Alexander does in the Benton film with her rather shocking performance as a sex therapist on the new HBO series.
The 75-year-old Benton ends up looking like an old fogey with his reliance on strategically placed sheets and unintentionally amusing, "Austin Powers"-style camera angles (shots that appear to have been designed by engineers to oh-so-carefully obscure the ensemble's naughty bits).--- Joe Meyers
I've been reading this reviewer for many years, and he ALWAYS seems to want more "naughty bits." For a variety of reasons I don't intend to see either TMYLM or FoL anyway. I get a lot more embarrassed now by that sort of thing now than when I was younger, go figure. Give me DS or loud action movies or fantasy cycles, etc. etc.

I hear you, but why not go against the flow by declaring that "old people having sex" (their words) was having the Best Week Ever instead of grouping it with the antics of Oprah (that did make me laugh) and Margaret Cho and naming them all mood killers?
But really, Selby as "old man"? As a friend mentioned, he and Harrison Ford are the same age, so the problem the media has is likely in the pairing of the former (Selby) with a woman his own age and not the latter (Ford) with women 20+ years younger. Clearly, it does not consider HF an old man, or LucasFilm would not have cast him in the final adventure of Indiana Jones.
Anyway, D Friedlander, there actually is a topic dedicated to Tell Me You Love Me on this board, and more in the archived Calendar boards.

Your friend is terribly astute. [hall2_grin]

For those who missed the original airing, you can now view it online. (http://www.vh1.com/vspot/player.jhtml?type=524) Fast forward to Act 4 for the relevant material.
-
MTV doesn't even want old people watching them which is why I didn't see this in the first place.
-
Selby - Old? Nevah!!!
I pity people who decide that there's some kind of an age/time limit for enjoying life in any way...they don't seem to realize they're painting themselves in a corner.
Looking back on it, I think Louis' little routine gave me an art class flashback...I don't know where they (my University) got their (male) models but, most were about half his age and none in nearly as good shape.

On a related AMC topic, there is an article about Walt Willey who plays Jackson Montgomery on All My Children, for some 20 years now, but before that Walt had a few under five bits on the show, and he says that during those early appearances he shared a dressing room with Louis Edmonds, which thrilled Walt as he was a big Dark Shadows fan. Walt also said in the article that Louis used to grow some pretty potent pot up in Martha's Vineyard, and that Walt was warned by Louis to sit down before he took a puff!! Mr. Edmonds was quite a characer, no, but also as we know a lovely man...
-

Um, it wasn't on Martha's Vineyard Miranda, it was in his own 'secret garden' (how he described it) at his home The Rookery on Long Island. In fact, he told us a very amusing story about it when we visited him there in 1998. [hall2_grin]

RATS! I went to watch this and found it is no longer on the site! I even saved it in my youtube faves, and they took it off! Anyone have a copy somewhere that can be forwarded-or is it just gone gone gone?

Unfortunately, the owner of that vid no longer has an account with YouTube, and the email address in their profile on the Forums is hidden (the account here is currently inactive). If they see this thread, maybe they'll contact you. I don't know what else to tell you, sorry.
