I saw this article rec'd on a facebook page, so clicked on it and read it. It's actually from 2007, so probably something a lot of people have seen before. The thing that stood out to me was a couple of things Robert Vaughn said regarding the night he got the script on UNCLE. He says he and a friend picked up a couple of 'floozies', and later mentions that again in reference to utilizing the charms he used to seduce them as an acting tool for portraying Solo.
I know he is a product of his times, and perhaps he didn't think referring to women as floosies sounded hypocritical alongside the very obvious reality of his own promiscuity (in this instance), but reading it I had a rather negative reaction to him and to his point of view. All of this from a man who later says it didn't even bother him for the show to be cancelled because he was so wrapped up in the anti-war movement.
Again, a little self-centered considering a slew of people were put out of work with the cancellation of MFU.
Am I being a little too critical? Maybe, and it doesn't keep me from being a fangirl for the show. But it does tend to add weight to my preference for David McCallum as a real life person, based on the bits and pieces I know about him.
So, any thoughts on the subject? Any rebuttals to my impressions of the article and what is reported there? I'm curious, and I can forgive Robert Vaughn for his seemingly, to use a word that gets tossed around quite a bit, misogynistic attitude. I'm sure he repented and changed his ways with age and maturity.
