Robert Osborne, the gracious and elegant Turner Classic Movies host for the last 23 years, passed away on March 6, 2017. He was 84. We had the joy of sailing with Robert on a TCM Classic Movie Cruise just over a year ago and our interview with him was more like a wonderful conversation between friends. And speaking of friends, Robert brought along some of his favorites (and some of the best in the business) and we were lucky enough to interview them as well: Louis Gossett Jr., Eva Marie Saint, Ileana Douglas, Ruta Lee, and Angie Dickinson, to name but a few.    See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
