NARRATOR: Dateline:
Hollywood, California.
3
00:00:11,011 --> 00:00:14,648
Tinseltown readies itself
for its grandest of nights.
4
00:00:14,682 --> 00:00:16,550
The Academy Awards.
5
00:00:16,584 --> 00:00:19,820
This year's Oscars promises
to be an absolute nail-biter
6
00:00:19,853 --> 00:00:22,090
between favorites
Lawrence of Arabia
7
00:00:22,123 --> 00:00:23,524
and The Music Man.
8
00:00:23,557 --> 00:00:25,159
But the real trouble
in River City,
9
00:00:25,193 --> 00:00:27,495
and the race everyone is
talking about
10
00:00:27,528 --> 00:00:28,929
is the contest to see
11
00:00:28,962 --> 00:00:31,599
who will be crowned
Best Actress.
12
00:00:31,632 --> 00:00:33,701
Here's icy beauty Lee Remick,
13
00:00:33,734 --> 00:00:37,271
nominated for her turn
as Jack Lemmon's boozy bride.
14
00:00:37,305 --> 00:00:40,274
Skipping the wine and sticking
to roses, Lee?
15
00:00:40,308 --> 00:00:42,376
Kooky Anne Bancroft,
16
00:00:42,410 --> 00:00:44,678
who brought her inimitable
Annie Sullivan to the screen
17
00:00:44,712 --> 00:00:47,047
in Arthur Penn's
The Miracle Worker,
18
00:00:47,081 --> 00:00:48,916
will be working
a miracle herself
19
00:00:48,949 --> 00:00:51,919
to make the curtain in her
latest Broadway triumph.
20
00:00:51,952 --> 00:00:55,523
Golden Globe winner Geraldine
Page out walking her pooch.
21
00:00:55,556 --> 00:00:58,058
Will Oscar follow
the Globe's lead
22
00:00:58,092 --> 00:01:00,394
and give Tennessee Williams'
latest muse
23
00:01:00,428 --> 00:01:02,363
Hollywood's highest honor?
24
00:01:02,396 --> 00:01:04,064
With her ninth nomination,
25
00:01:04,098 --> 00:01:06,200
screen legend Katharine Hepburn
26
00:01:06,234 --> 00:01:08,102
will not be making
a Long Day's Journey
27
00:01:08,136 --> 00:01:09,937
to the West Coast this year,
28
00:01:09,970 --> 00:01:12,773
as she plans once again
to sit out the festivities
29
00:01:12,806 --> 00:01:14,908
in her Connecticut hideaway.
30
00:01:14,942 --> 00:01:17,945
(reporters clamoring)
But all the Vegas oddsmakers
31
00:01:17,978 --> 00:01:19,747
say the smart money
is on Bette Davis.
32
00:01:19,780 --> 00:01:22,316
It's an honor just
to be nominated... again.
33
00:01:22,350 --> 00:01:24,252
Miss Davis, do you have any
comment on the Academy
34
00:01:24,285 --> 00:01:25,786
snubbing your costar,
Joan Crawford?
35
00:01:25,819 --> 00:01:29,290
Define "snub."
Next question.
36
00:01:29,323 --> 00:01:31,792
(reporters clamoring)
NARRATOR:
One thing's for sure:
37
00:01:31,825 --> 00:01:33,561
no matter who wins,
history will be made
38
00:01:33,594 --> 00:01:36,130
in three weeks
when Frank Sinatra
39
00:01:36,164 --> 00:01:38,666
hosts the 35th Academy Awards.
40
00:01:41,302 --> 00:01:44,037
*
41
00:02:13,534 --> 00:02:16,537
*
42
00:02:43,664 --> 00:02:46,667
(seagulls chirping,
waves crashing)
43
00:03:06,620 --> 00:03:09,590
OLIVIA:
The 1963 Oscars.
44
00:03:09,623 --> 00:03:11,692
I have to say
45
00:03:11,725 --> 00:03:13,994
that's when things took such
an ugly turn.
46
00:03:14,027 --> 00:03:16,029
Not that everything
47
00:03:16,063 --> 00:03:18,766
was sunshine and lollipops
up until then,
48
00:03:18,799 --> 00:03:21,935
but it was the Academy Awards
that year
49
00:03:21,969 --> 00:03:25,172
when it became
the point of no return
50
00:03:25,205 --> 00:03:27,207
for both Bette and Joan.
51
00:03:27,241 --> 00:03:30,110
I truly believed that the ladies
52
00:03:30,143 --> 00:03:34,682
would put aside their natural
personal enmity,
53
00:03:34,715 --> 00:03:37,518
but there were so many people
who profited
54
00:03:37,551 --> 00:03:40,020
from them being
at each other's throats.
55
00:03:40,053 --> 00:03:43,190
The studio,
the publicity people,
56
00:03:43,223 --> 00:03:45,793
and of course, the columnists.
57
00:03:45,826 --> 00:03:49,196
I know firsthand.
58
00:03:49,229 --> 00:03:52,065
Unscrupulous reporters
did everything they could
59
00:03:52,099 --> 00:03:54,868
to sow hatred
60
00:03:54,902 --> 00:03:57,771
between myself
and my own sister.
61
00:03:57,805 --> 00:03:59,273
The actress Joan Fontaine
is your younger sister?
62
00:03:59,307 --> 00:04:02,643
Well, she's not
that much younger, but yes.
63
00:04:02,676 --> 00:04:04,144
So there is no feud
64
00:04:04,177 --> 00:04:05,946
between you two?
65
00:04:05,979 --> 00:04:07,948
A feud implies
66
00:04:07,981 --> 00:04:10,284
continuing hostile conduct
67
00:04:10,318 --> 00:04:12,786
between two parties.
68
00:04:12,820 --> 00:04:14,455
I can't remember an instance
69
00:04:14,488 --> 00:04:17,425
where I instigated
hostile behavior.
70
00:04:17,458 --> 00:04:20,227
INTERVIEWER: You refused
to speak to her backstage
71
00:04:20,260 --> 00:04:21,829
after your 1947 Oscar win.
72
00:04:21,862 --> 00:04:23,464
OLIVIA:
You're referring
73
00:04:23,497 --> 00:04:27,301
to that photo of me
in Photoplay magazine.
74
00:04:27,335 --> 00:04:31,138
I wasn't turning my back
on my sister in that photo.
75
00:04:31,171 --> 00:04:34,642
I just didn't see
that she was there.
76
00:04:34,675 --> 00:04:36,677
It's hard to imagine
77
00:04:36,710 --> 00:04:40,113
the pressure the Academy Awards
puts on one.
78
00:04:40,147 --> 00:04:42,149
Which brings us back
79
00:04:42,182 --> 00:04:44,918
to Bette and the other Joan.
80
00:04:44,952 --> 00:04:47,120
Well, it all started,
I remember,
81
00:04:47,154 --> 00:04:48,856
with the nominations.
82
00:04:48,889 --> 00:04:51,659
And understandably,
Joan was hurt,
83
00:04:51,692 --> 00:04:53,694
because she was snubbed.
84
00:04:53,727 --> 00:04:55,596
Unfortunately, dear Bette,
85
00:04:55,629 --> 00:04:59,333
wasn't about to offer her
any solace.
86
00:04:59,367 --> 00:05:02,670
But Joan, being a fighter,
87
00:05:02,703 --> 00:05:06,039
wasn't about
to let one tiny detail
88
00:05:06,073 --> 00:05:09,577
like not being nominated
push her out of the limelight.
89
00:05:11,044 --> 00:05:13,547
The very day
of the nominations,
90
00:05:13,581 --> 00:05:16,784
Joan marched herself down
to the Motion Picture Academy
91
00:05:16,817 --> 00:05:19,787
and demanded to see
Mr. Wendell Corey,
92
00:05:19,820 --> 00:05:21,522
the president of the Academy.
93
00:05:21,555 --> 00:05:22,890
Mr. Corey.
94
00:05:22,923 --> 00:05:24,224
Joan Crawford's headed this way
95
00:05:24,257 --> 00:05:25,593
and she's not slowing down.
96
00:05:32,833 --> 00:05:34,735
Joan, I can promise you,
97
00:05:34,768 --> 00:05:37,304
the vote tally
is beyond reproach.
98
00:05:37,337 --> 00:05:40,408
The people at Price Waterhouse
are honest to a fault.
99
00:05:40,441 --> 00:05:42,876
Wendell, I'm confident
under your stewardship
100
00:05:42,910 --> 00:05:45,646
that everything here at the
Academy is above board.
101
00:05:45,679 --> 00:05:48,516
I wish all the
worthy nominees
102
00:05:48,549 --> 00:05:50,050
good luck
and Godspeed.
103
00:05:50,083 --> 00:05:52,486
I'm here to offer my services.
104
00:05:52,520 --> 00:05:55,523
As it turns out, I'm available
to present this year.
105
00:05:55,556 --> 00:05:59,226
Either Best Picture
or Best Director.
106
00:05:59,259 --> 00:06:01,228
You decide which.
107
00:06:01,261 --> 00:06:03,230
Oh, well, that's...
108
00:06:03,263 --> 00:06:05,065
that's very generous.
109
00:06:05,098 --> 00:06:07,435
Of course I'm going to require
a few things.
110
00:06:07,468 --> 00:06:09,570
I'd appreciate it
111
00:06:09,603 --> 00:06:11,839
if the Academy could pay
for my hair and makeup.
112
00:06:11,872 --> 00:06:15,909
And, of course, provide a car
and a chauffeur.
113
00:06:15,943 --> 00:06:19,046
Well, we don't do that
for presenters.
114
00:06:21,281 --> 00:06:24,452
You will for me.
115
00:06:24,485 --> 00:06:27,020
OLIVIA:
I believe if Bette had said
116
00:06:27,054 --> 00:06:28,956
to even one reporter
117
00:06:28,989 --> 00:06:32,225
that she regretted Joan
not getting a nod,
118
00:06:32,259 --> 00:06:35,095
all that unpleasantness
would have gone away.
119
00:06:35,128 --> 00:06:38,432
She came across as cold
120
00:06:38,466 --> 00:06:41,935
and unsympathetic to some,
121
00:06:41,969 --> 00:06:44,472
but really she was nervous.
122
00:06:44,505 --> 00:06:46,173
Terribly so.
123
00:06:48,909 --> 00:06:51,211
(phone rings)
124
00:06:51,244 --> 00:06:53,781
OPERATOR: Bonsoir. I have
a person-to-person call
125
00:06:53,814 --> 00:06:56,149
for Mademoiselle de Havilland
from Mademoiselle Davis.
126
00:06:56,183 --> 00:06:59,653
Oh. Yes, of course, operator.
127
00:06:59,687 --> 00:07:01,154
Bette.
128
00:07:01,188 --> 00:07:03,457
Livvie. I have no idea
what time it is there.
129
00:07:03,491 --> 00:07:04,958
Did I wake you?
130
00:07:04,992 --> 00:07:07,327
No, not at all.
I was just reading
131
00:07:07,360 --> 00:07:10,664
what passes as a script for
a new movie they've offered me.
132
00:07:10,698 --> 00:07:12,399
Anything in it for me?
133
00:07:12,432 --> 00:07:16,169
Not unless you want to play
a wino or a hoodlum.
134
00:07:16,203 --> 00:07:19,339
The title alone
makes me want to shudder.
135
00:07:19,372 --> 00:07:20,808
Lady in a Cage.
136
00:07:20,841 --> 00:07:22,275
(chuckles)
137
00:07:22,309 --> 00:07:24,512
Just sounds so awful.
138
00:07:24,545 --> 00:07:25,779
Awful!
139
00:07:25,813 --> 00:07:27,581
And if you don't
snap it up, I will.
140
00:07:27,615 --> 00:07:29,116
(both chuckle)
141
00:07:29,149 --> 00:07:31,184
I doubt very much indeed
142
00:07:31,218 --> 00:07:33,186
that it will bring you
your fourth Oscar.
143
00:07:33,220 --> 00:07:35,255
Don't jinx me,
I haven't won the third one yet.
144
00:07:35,288 --> 00:07:36,990
You will.
145
00:07:37,024 --> 00:07:38,792
In only a few weeks time, too.
146
00:07:38,826 --> 00:07:41,128
You know I'll be
pulling for you.
147
00:07:41,161 --> 00:07:43,664
Pulling for me? You're going
to be sitting right next to me.
148
00:07:43,697 --> 00:07:47,300
Oh, you can't really expect me
to travel all that way
149
00:07:47,334 --> 00:07:48,869
for an award show.
150
00:07:48,902 --> 00:07:51,271
You bet your ass I can.
151
00:07:51,304 --> 00:07:53,306
Oh, Livvie, you have no idea
what they've been saying
152
00:07:53,340 --> 00:07:55,475
about me in the press.
153
00:07:55,509 --> 00:07:57,344
About you and Joan, you mean.
154
00:07:57,377 --> 00:07:59,613
Christ, is it in
the French papers, too?
155
00:07:59,647 --> 00:08:01,982
In any language, all they want
156
00:08:02,015 --> 00:08:03,817
is a catfight.
157
00:08:03,851 --> 00:08:05,485
You have to stop
giving it to them.
158
00:08:05,519 --> 00:08:06,787
I know.
159
00:08:06,820 --> 00:08:09,322
I should be kinder,
I want to be,
160
00:08:09,356 --> 00:08:11,959
but she sets me off.
161
00:08:11,992 --> 00:08:13,527
I know the impulse well.
162
00:08:13,561 --> 00:08:16,196
But two words:
163
00:08:16,229 --> 00:08:18,666
"No... comment."
164
00:08:18,699 --> 00:08:22,035
Easy for you to say; my Joan
is far worse than your Joan.
165
00:08:22,069 --> 00:08:24,071
Not possible.
166
00:08:24,104 --> 00:08:28,341
You know what my bitch sister
has taken to telling the press?
167
00:08:28,375 --> 00:08:29,977
(chuckles)
168
00:08:30,010 --> 00:08:33,480
That I broke her collarbone
when we were children.
169
00:08:33,513 --> 00:08:35,816
(laughs)
Can you imagine?
170
00:08:35,849 --> 00:08:37,685
And the press...
171
00:08:37,718 --> 00:08:39,920
just gobbles it up.
172
00:08:39,953 --> 00:08:42,222
Monsters.
173
00:08:42,255 --> 00:08:44,391
Livvie, you have to come.
174
00:08:44,424 --> 00:08:45,993
The goddamn Hollywood press,
175
00:08:46,026 --> 00:08:47,861
they won't be able
to say shit about me
176
00:08:47,895 --> 00:08:49,529
if there's another woman
of comparable stature
177
00:08:49,563 --> 00:08:50,931
supporting me.
178
00:08:50,964 --> 00:08:53,667
Comparable to Joan's stature,
you mean.
179
00:08:53,701 --> 00:08:56,003
What else would I mean?
180
00:08:56,036 --> 00:08:57,771
OLIVIA:
Bette was never easy.
181
00:08:57,805 --> 00:09:01,374
But I know she respects me.
182
00:09:01,408 --> 00:09:03,677
We both have two Oscars,
183
00:09:03,711 --> 00:09:05,278
and she knew that
winning another one
184
00:09:05,312 --> 00:09:07,080
didn't matter that much to me,
185
00:09:07,114 --> 00:09:10,450
so I wasn't competition
to her, I suppose.
186
00:09:10,483 --> 00:09:11,885
I was never a threat.
187
00:09:11,919 --> 00:09:15,388
In her mind,
I was always Melanie Wilkes
188
00:09:15,422 --> 00:09:18,525
to her Scarlett O'Hara.
189
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:20,794
Of course, I really was
Melanie Wilkes.
190
00:09:26,634 --> 00:09:29,036
Her third Oscar.
191
00:09:29,069 --> 00:09:31,538
You always did stink at math,
Joanie, not a third Oscar.
192
00:09:31,571 --> 00:09:34,074
Her tenth nomination,
her eighth loss.
193
00:09:34,107 --> 00:09:35,208
That's the way you got
to think of it.
194
00:09:35,242 --> 00:09:37,444
But she is the odds-on favorite.
195
00:09:37,477 --> 00:09:40,480
HEDDA: Well, that's because
this town loves nothing more
196
00:09:40,513 --> 00:09:41,749
than to bestow titles.
197
00:09:41,782 --> 00:09:43,116
And they're just itching
198
00:09:43,150 --> 00:09:44,785
to give that old nag
the triple crown.
199
00:09:44,818 --> 00:09:46,319
But we're going to see
she doesn't get it.
200
00:09:46,353 --> 00:09:47,254
How?
201
00:09:47,287 --> 00:09:49,389
Mm. Easy.
202
00:09:49,422 --> 00:09:52,626
There are, as of now,
655 Academy members
203
00:09:52,660 --> 00:09:57,264
in your peer group that'll be
casting a vote for Best Actress.
204
00:09:57,297 --> 00:10:00,100
We just have to get to,
say, 100 of them,
205
00:10:00,133 --> 00:10:01,669
and we can tip this thing.
206
00:10:01,702 --> 00:10:04,972
You mean actually lobby
the Academy members
207
00:10:05,005 --> 00:10:06,273
to vote against her?
208
00:10:06,306 --> 00:10:07,775
Why not?
209
00:10:07,808 --> 00:10:08,842
Well, because it
will be seen as
210
00:10:08,876 --> 00:10:10,744
sour grapes
on my part.
211
00:10:10,778 --> 00:10:13,513
And that's why you have
to stay squeaky clean.
212
00:10:13,546 --> 00:10:15,683
You let me poison the well.
213
00:10:15,716 --> 00:10:16,950
You're gonna serve up
214
00:10:16,984 --> 00:10:19,586
nothing but rainbows
and moonbeams.
215
00:10:19,619 --> 00:10:21,855
Get out your
phone book.
216
00:10:21,889 --> 00:10:24,124
We're gonna play a little game
I learned from Jack Webb,
217
00:10:24,157 --> 00:10:26,526
"Good cop, bad cop."
218
00:10:26,559 --> 00:10:29,462
I'll put the word
out on Davis.
219
00:10:29,496 --> 00:10:31,531
You plump up the
other nominees.
220
00:10:31,564 --> 00:10:34,868
Well, who do you think is
her closest competition?
221
00:10:34,902 --> 00:10:37,671
Well, they're not gonna give
it to that buzzard Hepburn.
Oh.
222
00:10:37,705 --> 00:10:39,940
She's never once showed
up to the ceremony.
223
00:10:39,973 --> 00:10:41,675
I'll bad-mouth her
a little bit, too.
224
00:10:41,709 --> 00:10:43,811
Her and those slacks.
(laughs)
225
00:10:43,844 --> 00:10:45,779
Remick's no threat; they
all still think of her
226
00:10:45,813 --> 00:10:47,514
as a television
actress.
227
00:10:47,547 --> 00:10:49,449
Push for Page or Bancroft.
228
00:10:49,482 --> 00:10:53,520
Lean on the "Hollywood reaches
out to Broadway" angle.
229
00:10:53,553 --> 00:10:56,656
One of them gets it,
it'll sting her even more.
230
00:10:57,891 --> 00:10:59,727
You hate her more than I do.
231
00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,162
I find her vulgar.
232
00:11:02,195 --> 00:11:04,531
Besides, she thinks
we're all hypocrites.
233
00:11:04,564 --> 00:11:06,633
Aren't we, though, Hedda?
234
00:11:06,666 --> 00:11:08,635
Well, of course we are,
235
00:11:08,668 --> 00:11:10,804
but I'm not gonna
be judged for it,
236
00:11:10,838 --> 00:11:13,006
not by her.
237
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:18,045
Hypocrisy is the tribute
vice must pay to virtue.
238
00:11:18,078 --> 00:11:19,913
You've always understood that.
239
00:11:19,947 --> 00:11:21,648
She never has.
240
00:11:21,681 --> 00:11:23,516
The only reason
241
00:11:23,550 --> 00:11:26,720
the rest of the country allows
this Babylon to stay standing
242
00:11:26,754 --> 00:11:28,822
is because it believes
we have a conscience.
243
00:11:28,856 --> 00:11:32,159
And for 30 years,
I have been that conscience.
244
00:11:32,192 --> 00:11:34,427
And I gave up
everything for it.
245
00:11:34,461 --> 00:11:37,064
My career as an actress,
my marriage,
246
00:11:37,097 --> 00:11:39,532
my dream
of having many children.
247
00:11:39,566 --> 00:11:42,269
What has she sacrificed?
Nothing.
248
00:11:42,302 --> 00:11:45,205
Well, then,
let's make some calls.
249
00:11:47,040 --> 00:11:48,776
Chuck, it's Hedda.
250
00:11:48,809 --> 00:11:52,512
I just had to call and say
how much I loved you in El Cid,
251
00:11:52,545 --> 00:11:55,115
how I adore a man
in a leather skirt.
252
00:11:55,148 --> 00:11:58,685
Oh, I thank you, Doris.
That's very sweet of you.
253
00:11:58,718 --> 00:12:01,588
But I really wasn't
expecting one this year.
254
00:12:01,621 --> 00:12:04,724
Oh, but I was thrilled to see
Geraldine Page get nominated.
255
00:12:04,758 --> 00:12:06,059
Weren't you?
256
00:12:06,093 --> 00:12:07,627
Yes, a concussion.
257
00:12:07,660 --> 00:12:09,729
She kicked her
right in the head twice.
258
00:12:09,763 --> 00:12:11,631
Joan would have been well
within her rights
259
00:12:11,664 --> 00:12:13,433
to file assault charges.
260
00:12:13,466 --> 00:12:16,736
Well, I was lucky enough to see
Miss Bancroft play it onstage.
261
00:12:16,770 --> 00:12:18,405
And do you know, Loretta,
262
00:12:18,438 --> 00:12:22,609
her Annie Sullivan seemed
even more blind on-screen.
263
00:12:22,642 --> 00:12:24,077
Why should she have three?
264
00:12:24,111 --> 00:12:25,545
You know, the one they gave her
265
00:12:25,578 --> 00:12:27,580
for Dangerous
she uses as a doorstop?
266
00:12:27,614 --> 00:12:30,984
Mm. Her bathroom.
Can you believe it?
267
00:12:31,018 --> 00:12:35,088
That poor Oscar has to watch
that woman go to the toilet.
268
00:12:35,122 --> 00:12:37,825
No, Anne Bancroft is
absolutely brilliant.
269
00:12:37,858 --> 00:12:40,627
Love to you, Cary.
270
00:12:40,660 --> 00:12:42,996
It's no use.
271
00:12:43,030 --> 00:12:44,331
What are you
talking about?
272
00:12:44,364 --> 00:12:45,665
It's a fool's errand.
273
00:12:45,698 --> 00:12:47,434
She's already won.
274
00:12:47,467 --> 00:12:51,604
Joan.
No, I don't mean today
or on Oscar night.
275
00:12:51,638 --> 00:12:53,440
I have been in competition
276
00:12:53,473 --> 00:12:57,010
with that goddamn woman
my entire career.
277
00:12:57,044 --> 00:12:59,646
A constant battle.
278
00:12:59,679 --> 00:13:03,150
For men, for roles,
for magazine covers.
279
00:13:04,384 --> 00:13:06,286
And I don't know why.
280
00:13:06,319 --> 00:13:09,589
I was the bigger star.
281
00:13:09,622 --> 00:13:12,159
My leading men were
more attractive.
282
00:13:12,192 --> 00:13:14,627
My pictures made more money.
283
00:13:14,661 --> 00:13:19,266
And yet I was always
made to feel inferior.
284
00:13:19,299 --> 00:13:22,135
After years of
working so hard to be
285
00:13:22,169 --> 00:13:25,705
an ambassador for Hollywood,
to be part of this community,
286
00:13:25,738 --> 00:13:28,041
while she gives the
industry the finger
287
00:13:28,075 --> 00:13:30,210
from her moldy home
in Connecticut.
288
00:13:30,243 --> 00:13:33,780
And yet, when presented
with the opportunity,
289
00:13:33,813 --> 00:13:38,051
they nominate her...
instead of me.
290
00:13:38,085 --> 00:13:40,854
It's so fucking
humiliating.
291
00:13:40,888 --> 00:13:43,790
I think you've had enough
of that iced tea.
292
00:13:43,823 --> 00:13:46,226
No, I mean it, Hedda.
293
00:13:47,827 --> 00:13:49,796
Something inside me broke
294
00:13:49,829 --> 00:13:51,865
when they announced
those nominations.
295
00:13:51,899 --> 00:13:54,667
Not because I was
counting on it
296
00:13:54,701 --> 00:13:56,569
or because I hoped
that it would ensure
297
00:13:56,603 --> 00:13:58,505
a few more precious
years of work.
298
00:13:58,538 --> 00:14:01,508
It was beyond that.
299
00:14:01,541 --> 00:14:07,147
Whatever self-confidence
I had left was gone.
300
00:14:07,180 --> 00:14:09,883
She leeched it out of me!
301
00:14:09,917 --> 00:14:12,185
Hmm.
302
00:14:12,219 --> 00:14:16,756
Oh, God, I can't believe I said
I would present at those awards.
303
00:14:16,789 --> 00:14:18,525
I don't know what I
was thinking. I can't
304
00:14:18,558 --> 00:14:20,260
go to that awards show.
305
00:14:20,293 --> 00:14:22,695
I can't show my
face anymore.
306
00:14:22,729 --> 00:14:26,199
Joan, you are going
to those awards.
307
00:14:26,233 --> 00:14:28,868
We can get you
your self-confidence back.
308
00:14:28,902 --> 00:14:30,370
I don't see how.
309
00:14:30,403 --> 00:14:32,439
I'll tell you how.
310
00:14:32,472 --> 00:14:34,774
She may have been the one
who was nominated,
311
00:14:34,807 --> 00:14:37,177
but as God as my witness,
312
00:14:37,210 --> 00:14:42,349
that woman is not going
to walk off that stage
313
00:14:42,382 --> 00:14:44,851
with the Oscar
for Best Actress,
314
00:14:44,884 --> 00:14:47,820
because you are.
315
00:14:56,163 --> 00:14:58,665
(lively jazz playing,
phone ringing)
316
00:15:01,734 --> 00:15:04,104
Well, gee, don't
get up or anything.
317
00:15:06,739 --> 00:15:08,041
Hello.
318
00:15:08,075 --> 00:15:09,109
JOAN:
Gerry?
319
00:15:09,142 --> 00:15:11,544
Is this Miss Geraldine Page?
320
00:15:11,578 --> 00:15:13,746
It is. Rip, turn that down.
321
00:15:13,780 --> 00:15:15,082
I can't hear.
322
00:15:15,115 --> 00:15:17,384
This is Joan Crawford, dear,
323
00:15:17,417 --> 00:15:20,153
calling from Hollywood,
California.
324
00:15:20,187 --> 00:15:23,023
It's Joan fucking Crawford.
325
00:15:24,191 --> 00:15:26,459
Gerry?
326
00:15:26,493 --> 00:15:30,830
Miss Crawford,
how may I help you?
327
00:15:30,863 --> 00:15:32,932
I just want to say
right up front
328
00:15:32,966 --> 00:15:34,501
that I was not upset.
329
00:15:34,534 --> 00:15:36,236
Upset?
330
00:15:36,269 --> 00:15:38,305
Why would you be upset?
331
00:15:38,338 --> 00:15:40,273
With the performance
you were nominated for
332
00:15:40,307 --> 00:15:41,741
in Sweet Bird of Youth.
333
00:15:41,774 --> 00:15:43,310
(laughs)
334
00:15:43,343 --> 00:15:45,678
The faded movie queen
swanning about.
335
00:15:45,712 --> 00:15:47,280
Oh, I think we
336
00:15:47,314 --> 00:15:49,582
all know
who that was based on, dear.
337
00:15:49,616 --> 00:15:51,451
Oh, no, Miss Crawford.
338
00:15:51,484 --> 00:15:54,087
Mr. Williams created that role.
I was just...
339
00:15:54,121 --> 00:15:55,622
No, I was flattered, Gerry.
340
00:15:55,655 --> 00:15:57,324
Really I was.
341
00:15:57,357 --> 00:15:59,826
You got it so close to perfect.
342
00:15:59,859 --> 00:16:02,662
Although I would never
date a man under 40.
343
00:16:02,695 --> 00:16:05,932
Not enough money to keep
this lady happy. (laughs)
344
00:16:05,965 --> 00:16:07,034
Uh-huh.
345
00:16:07,067 --> 00:16:09,536
What does she want?
346
00:16:11,304 --> 00:16:13,840
Was there something you needed,
Miss Crawford?
347
00:16:13,873 --> 00:16:17,644
No, I just wanted
to say congratulations, Gerry.
348
00:16:17,677 --> 00:16:20,547
I mean, with so many wonderful
performances this year
349
00:16:20,580 --> 00:16:22,649
and only five nominations,
350
00:16:22,682 --> 00:16:25,885
I was so glad
to see you get recognized.
351
00:16:25,918 --> 00:16:28,021
Thank you.
352
00:16:28,055 --> 00:16:31,124
Can you believe
it's only two weeks away,
353
00:16:31,158 --> 00:16:33,960
and I haven't even cut out
potatoes yet.
354
00:16:33,993 --> 00:16:35,062
Potatoes?
355
00:16:35,095 --> 00:16:37,464
Those television cameras
356
00:16:37,497 --> 00:16:39,232
are many times more punishing
357
00:16:39,266 --> 00:16:41,468
than the motion picture
cameras.
358
00:16:41,501 --> 00:16:43,570
Who's doing your gown?
359
00:16:43,603 --> 00:16:45,572
My gown?
360
00:16:45,605 --> 00:16:48,808
I hadn't really thought
about my gown.
361
00:16:48,841 --> 00:16:50,977
Well, of course,
you have many fine options
362
00:16:51,010 --> 00:16:53,146
out there in New York.
363
00:16:53,180 --> 00:16:56,015
But you want to be fitted here
the day of.
364
00:16:56,049 --> 00:16:58,185
May I suggest Edith Head?
365
00:16:58,218 --> 00:17:00,753
Really,
there is no one better, dear.
366
00:17:00,787 --> 00:17:03,823
I could speak to her for you,
and then, if you like,
367
00:17:03,856 --> 00:17:06,926
I could personally help you
select your jewels.
368
00:17:06,959 --> 00:17:09,096
That is awfully generous of
you, Miss Crawford, really,
369
00:17:09,129 --> 00:17:11,498
but I think I'm gonna
try and keep it simple.
370
00:17:11,531 --> 00:17:12,899
Don't forget, Gerry.
371
00:17:12,932 --> 00:17:15,068
You're representing Hollywood.
372
00:17:15,102 --> 00:17:19,406
I mean, this broadcast will be
seen all over the world.
373
00:17:19,439 --> 00:17:22,709
People depend on us
to brighten their ordinary lives
374
00:17:22,742 --> 00:17:24,244
with a little glamour.
375
00:17:24,277 --> 00:17:27,046
Well, if their lives
depend on my glamour,
376
00:17:27,080 --> 00:17:29,116
I've got some
bad news for them.
377
00:17:31,551 --> 00:17:35,888
Well... it really is
too stressful, isn't it,
378
00:17:35,922 --> 00:17:37,524
dear?
379
00:17:37,557 --> 00:17:39,859
Lord knows
the year I was nominated
380
00:17:39,892 --> 00:17:41,594
for Mildred Pierce, I was
381
00:17:41,628 --> 00:17:43,363
too nervous to attend.
382
00:17:43,396 --> 00:17:45,098
No, I stayed home
and faked pneumonia.
383
00:17:45,132 --> 00:17:46,533
(laughs)
384
00:17:46,566 --> 00:17:48,401
And do you know what?
385
00:17:48,435 --> 00:17:51,971
They brought the Oscar to me.
386
00:17:52,004 --> 00:17:55,142
And in a way, it was more
intimate, more of an honor.
387
00:17:58,278 --> 00:18:00,713
Is that what you think
I should do?
388
00:18:00,747 --> 00:18:03,316
Stay home?
389
00:18:05,118 --> 00:18:07,120
Well, I could accept it for you.
390
00:18:07,154 --> 00:18:08,555
(exhales)
391
00:18:08,588 --> 00:18:10,223
It's just down
the road from me,
392
00:18:10,257 --> 00:18:12,058
and I have to be there anyway.
393
00:18:12,091 --> 00:18:13,726
I'll say lovely things,
394
00:18:13,760 --> 00:18:16,963
and you can watch
from the comfort
395
00:18:16,996 --> 00:18:19,966
of your New York one-bedroom.
396
00:18:19,999 --> 00:18:23,102
(sighing):
Oh.
397
00:18:23,136 --> 00:18:26,072
Sure... Miss Crawford.
398
00:18:26,105 --> 00:18:29,742
You are welcome to accept
the award on my behalf.
399
00:18:29,776 --> 00:18:31,778
Really?
400
00:18:33,346 --> 00:18:36,149
Well, if that's what you want.
(laughs)
401
00:18:36,183 --> 00:18:39,319
Just send me a list
of people to thank.
402
00:18:39,352 --> 00:18:41,854
Let's try to keep it
to three names.
403
00:18:41,888 --> 00:18:45,057
Short and sweet, in my opinion,
is the best.
404
00:18:46,859 --> 00:18:48,695
I will do that.
405
00:18:48,728 --> 00:18:51,164
Wonderful.
406
00:18:51,198 --> 00:18:53,600
All my love to you, Gerry.
407
00:18:53,633 --> 00:18:55,001
Miss Crawford?
408
00:18:55,034 --> 00:18:57,304
(click, dial tone)
409
00:19:01,808 --> 00:19:04,143
Well...
410
00:19:04,177 --> 00:19:06,078
good news.
411
00:19:07,647 --> 00:19:10,183
I'm not going to make you
put on a tux this year.
412
00:19:10,217 --> 00:19:12,519
You're actually gonna let
that high-strung show pony
413
00:19:12,552 --> 00:19:14,086
represent you at the Oscars?
414
00:19:16,155 --> 00:19:19,158
Well, she needs it.
415
00:19:20,393 --> 00:19:22,295
And besides,
416
00:19:22,329 --> 00:19:24,964
Hollywood should be
forced to look
417
00:19:24,997 --> 00:19:27,300
at what they've done to her.
418
00:19:27,334 --> 00:19:29,736
(upbeat jazz playing)
419
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,708
(song ends)
420
00:19:47,420 --> 00:19:49,822
(distant horn toots,
whistle blowing)
421
00:19:49,856 --> 00:19:52,225
(brakes squeak)
422
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:55,328
(car horn blowing)
423
00:19:55,362 --> 00:19:57,764
(distant siren blaring)
424
00:20:01,634 --> 00:20:03,169
(horn honking)
425
00:20:03,202 --> 00:20:04,571
(door opens)
426
00:20:04,604 --> 00:20:06,239
LYDIA:
Annie,
427
00:20:06,273 --> 00:20:07,674
you have a visitor.
428
00:20:07,707 --> 00:20:09,509
Joan Crawford.
429
00:20:09,542 --> 00:20:12,445
Joan Crawford caught
the performance?
430
00:20:12,479 --> 00:20:14,681
Sure. Pull the other one, Lydia.
431
00:20:14,714 --> 00:20:16,115
I'm serious.
432
00:20:16,148 --> 00:20:17,550
She's right outside the door.
433
00:20:21,721 --> 00:20:23,956
Well, hell, show her in.
434
00:20:23,990 --> 00:20:26,393
(distant chatter)
435
00:20:30,062 --> 00:20:31,898
Miss Crawford.
436
00:20:31,931 --> 00:20:33,300
What an honor.
437
00:20:33,333 --> 00:20:34,967
I just had to pop back
438
00:20:35,001 --> 00:20:38,037
and tell you what
an astonishing performance
439
00:20:38,070 --> 00:20:40,707
you gave tonight,
and to a half-empty house.
440
00:20:40,740 --> 00:20:43,310
That really is dedication.
441
00:20:43,343 --> 00:20:45,211
Well, thank you.
442
00:20:45,244 --> 00:20:47,213
You theater gals.
443
00:20:47,246 --> 00:20:48,415
(clicks tongue)
444
00:20:48,448 --> 00:20:49,982
I don't know how you do it.
445
00:20:50,016 --> 00:20:53,119
Night after night, weekends,
446
00:20:53,152 --> 00:20:54,621
matinees.
447
00:20:54,654 --> 00:20:57,657
Oh, it must be terribly
taxing on your voice.
448
00:20:57,690 --> 00:20:59,592
I drink a lot of tea.
449
00:20:59,626 --> 00:21:01,994
Smart. (laughs)
450
00:21:02,028 --> 00:21:04,931
I was so looking forward
to seeing you next week
451
00:21:04,964 --> 00:21:06,799
at the Academy Awards.
452
00:21:06,833 --> 00:21:09,769
But I read in
Dorothy Kilgallen's column
453
00:21:09,802 --> 00:21:11,904
that you won't be attending?
454
00:21:11,938 --> 00:21:13,506
I'm afraid not. I can't.
455
00:21:13,540 --> 00:21:15,241
I'd have to miss
three performances,
456
00:21:15,274 --> 00:21:16,776
and I just couldn't do that
457
00:21:16,809 --> 00:21:18,645
to the people who paid
to see the show.
458
00:21:18,678 --> 00:21:20,580
It's either the work
or the reward, you know.
459
00:21:20,613 --> 00:21:24,417
So you're not mad
at our little movie colony?
460
00:21:24,451 --> 00:21:28,087
I know they gave
that Shirley MacLaine
461
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:30,857
your part
in Two for the Seesaw.
462
00:21:30,890 --> 00:21:33,259
Well, I heard that movie stank.
463
00:21:33,292 --> 00:21:35,628
To high heaven. (laughs)
464
00:21:35,662 --> 00:21:37,163
Good. (laughs)
465
00:21:37,196 --> 00:21:39,332
Can I offer you a drink?
466
00:21:39,366 --> 00:21:43,069
No, no, no, no.
Please, let me get it.
467
00:21:44,904 --> 00:21:49,141
I also understand
that you have requested
468
00:21:49,175 --> 00:21:53,145
young Patty Duke to accept
your prize should you win.
469
00:21:53,179 --> 00:21:56,115
Yeah, but because
she's nominated, too,
470
00:21:56,148 --> 00:21:58,618
the Academy put the
kibosh on that idea.
471
00:21:58,651 --> 00:22:01,220
Well, that seems silly.
472
00:22:01,253 --> 00:22:03,322
It's probably for
the best, though.
473
00:22:03,356 --> 00:22:06,292
What if I were to win for
Best Actress, and Patty lost
474
00:22:06,325 --> 00:22:07,694
for Supporting?
475
00:22:07,727 --> 00:22:09,328
I'd hate to put the kid
through that.
476
00:22:10,430 --> 00:22:12,164
But, between you and me,
477
00:22:12,198 --> 00:22:14,166
I think she's going to win.
478
00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,569
Yes, I think she is, too.
479
00:22:16,603 --> 00:22:19,739
And my sixth sense tells me
480
00:22:19,772 --> 00:22:22,375
that you are going
to win also.
481
00:22:22,409 --> 00:22:24,210
Wouldn't that be something?
482
00:22:24,243 --> 00:22:25,912
Yes, it certainly would.
483
00:22:25,945 --> 00:22:29,382
The blind leading
the blind.
484
00:22:41,027 --> 00:22:42,695
Miss Crawford...
485
00:22:45,898 --> 00:22:47,600
...did you fly all the way here
to ask
486
00:22:47,634 --> 00:22:49,902
if you could accept my award
for me?
487
00:22:49,936 --> 00:22:53,339
No. No, but I certainly would be
happy to...
488
00:22:53,372 --> 00:22:56,709
But would it make you happy?
489
00:23:01,380 --> 00:23:03,883
Desperately.
490
00:23:05,084 --> 00:23:08,555
Well, then I really hope
I do win.
491
00:23:08,588 --> 00:23:12,291
I'd be honored to have
someone of your stature
492
00:23:12,324 --> 00:23:14,761
accept on my behalf.
493
00:23:19,398 --> 00:23:21,100
Thank you.
494
00:23:23,470 --> 00:23:24,704
I'm sorry.
495
00:23:24,737 --> 00:23:26,038
I really must go now.
496
00:23:26,072 --> 00:23:28,307
I have a dinner engagement
in an hour.
497
00:23:28,340 --> 00:23:29,909
It was lovely to meet you,
Miss Crawford.
498
00:23:29,942 --> 00:23:31,410
Yes, and you, too.
499
00:23:31,444 --> 00:23:33,946
Thank you.
500
00:23:35,181 --> 00:23:36,415
Joan?
501
00:23:36,449 --> 00:23:38,885
Hmm?
502
00:23:38,918 --> 00:23:42,121
Davis may have had
the flashier role,
503
00:23:42,154 --> 00:23:45,758
but you made that movie work.
504
00:23:45,792 --> 00:23:48,795
I really admired what you did.
505
00:24:01,641 --> 00:24:03,776
(doorbell rings)
506
00:24:03,810 --> 00:24:04,777
*
507
00:24:04,811 --> 00:24:06,513
MAMACITA:
Good.
508
00:24:06,546 --> 00:24:09,181
The jewels and the gown have
been approved by Miss Crawford.
509
00:24:09,215 --> 00:24:11,718
You know where
to carefully lay them out.
510
00:24:13,385 --> 00:24:15,788
Upstairs. She just woke up.
511
00:24:15,822 --> 00:24:18,357
Move, move, move.
Do not speak, just work.
512
00:24:19,391 --> 00:24:21,761
(door shuts)
513
00:24:21,794 --> 00:24:23,930
That goes for everyone here.
514
00:24:23,963 --> 00:24:26,633
Do not address Miss Crawford
unless she speaks to you first.
515
00:24:26,666 --> 00:24:27,867
And pick up the pace.
516
00:24:27,900 --> 00:24:30,169
It is Oscar day.
517
00:24:30,202 --> 00:24:32,038
BETTE:
"Dearest Bette,
518
00:24:32,071 --> 00:24:34,607
"good luck tonight.
You deserve to win.
519
00:24:34,641 --> 00:24:36,543
Jack Warner."
520
00:24:36,576 --> 00:24:38,978
"Bette, take home the gold.
521
00:24:39,011 --> 00:24:41,648
"We are so proud of you.
522
00:24:41,681 --> 00:24:43,482
Ronnie and Nancy Reagan."
523
00:24:43,516 --> 00:24:44,884
Oh.
524
00:24:44,917 --> 00:24:46,853
You're a shoo-in
to win, Miss Davis.
525
00:24:46,886 --> 00:24:48,120
Everybody thinks so.
526
00:24:48,154 --> 00:24:50,523
So it seems.
527
00:24:55,762 --> 00:24:58,631
JOAN: Edith Head gave me this
idea. Everything in silver.
528
00:24:58,665 --> 00:25:00,166
Like a silver Oscar.
529
00:25:00,199 --> 00:25:02,134
I think silver's
530
00:25:02,168 --> 00:25:03,803
so much more elegant than gold,
don't you?
531
00:25:03,836 --> 00:25:05,638
Did you know
532
00:25:05,672 --> 00:25:08,240
Edith already has seven Oscars?
533
00:25:08,274 --> 00:25:09,876
And you have two?
534
00:25:09,909 --> 00:25:11,644
Not yet.
535
00:25:11,678 --> 00:25:13,045
MAMACITA:
Okay,
536
00:25:13,079 --> 00:25:14,513
time to go.
537
00:25:16,082 --> 00:25:17,016
Hair.
538
00:25:17,049 --> 00:25:19,686
*
539
00:25:24,223 --> 00:25:26,593
*
540
00:25:37,704 --> 00:25:40,707
*
541
00:26:01,060 --> 00:26:03,029
How do I look?
542
00:26:03,062 --> 00:26:04,430
(chuckles)
543
00:26:04,463 --> 00:26:06,933
You look
beautiful.
544
00:26:06,966 --> 00:26:09,435
Like the first frost of fall.
545
00:26:09,468 --> 00:26:12,038
Like Sonja Henie
in one of those...
546
00:26:12,071 --> 00:26:14,206
winter wonderland
skating pictures.
547
00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,775
Very funny.
548
00:26:15,808 --> 00:26:19,378
Mr. Cukor,
will you do the honors?
549
00:26:19,411 --> 00:26:21,413
With pleasure.
550
00:26:26,986 --> 00:26:29,588
You are one of my
oldest friends.
551
00:26:29,622 --> 00:26:32,992
We have known each
other for 40 years,
552
00:26:33,025 --> 00:26:35,762
and I have never
bullshitted you.
553
00:26:35,795 --> 00:26:38,765
Now, there's something
I want to say to you,
554
00:26:38,798 --> 00:26:40,299
and you need to listen.
555
00:26:42,702 --> 00:26:44,170
Don't do this.
556
00:26:45,204 --> 00:26:47,073
Do what?
557
00:26:47,106 --> 00:26:50,009
Try and take it from her.
558
00:26:50,042 --> 00:26:53,646
The night.
559
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:58,484
It'll be seen in all quarters
for exactly what it is:
560
00:26:58,517 --> 00:27:01,954
a petty act of revenge
from a woman scorned.
561
00:27:04,957 --> 00:27:07,626
(sighs) If she doesn't win,
you'll get bad press.
562
00:27:07,660 --> 00:27:09,361
Better than no press.
563
00:27:09,395 --> 00:27:11,197
These people will never work
with you again.
564
00:27:11,230 --> 00:27:13,132
Davis, Aldrich...
565
00:27:13,165 --> 00:27:14,366
Good.
566
00:27:14,400 --> 00:27:18,170
Joanie, you're bigger than this.
567
00:27:26,178 --> 00:27:28,580
No, I'm not.
568
00:27:41,393 --> 00:27:44,196
Christ, you always
look better than me.
569
00:27:44,230 --> 00:27:45,965
(chuckles)
Drink?
570
00:27:45,998 --> 00:27:47,299
Let's get one there.
571
00:27:47,333 --> 00:27:49,301
Our chariot awaits.
572
00:27:49,335 --> 00:27:51,303
Bette, what happened
to this one?
573
00:27:51,337 --> 00:27:53,139
Did all the gold plating
fall off?
574
00:27:53,172 --> 00:27:55,474
(chuckles)
Rubbed off, you mean.
575
00:27:55,507 --> 00:27:58,711
Every night when I watch
television in bed, I hold it.
576
00:27:58,745 --> 00:28:00,546
He's the perfect
companion.
577
00:28:00,579 --> 00:28:02,749
He doesn't talk
back. He listens.
578
00:28:02,782 --> 00:28:04,717
He's patient.
579
00:28:08,287 --> 00:28:10,389
And sometimes,
580
00:28:10,422 --> 00:28:12,892
when I need it,
581
00:28:12,925 --> 00:28:16,195
he reminds me
of that perfect night
582
00:28:16,228 --> 00:28:18,697
when I won him...
583
00:28:18,731 --> 00:28:20,733
and the whole world...
584
00:28:22,735 --> 00:28:26,238
stood up and cheered.
585
00:28:26,272 --> 00:28:28,607
And I was loved.
586
00:28:33,780 --> 00:28:35,581
God, that's sad.
587
00:28:37,649 --> 00:28:39,285
Actually,
588
00:28:39,318 --> 00:28:42,688
as a woman heading toward
her second divorce,
589
00:28:42,721 --> 00:28:44,757
I get it.
590
00:28:44,791 --> 00:28:47,326
I get it completely.
591
00:28:49,328 --> 00:28:50,696
(kisses)
592
00:28:50,729 --> 00:28:52,198
Let me visit
the powder room
593
00:28:52,231 --> 00:28:54,333
and we'll be on our way.
594
00:29:01,774 --> 00:29:04,710
Wait up for me, boys.
595
00:29:04,743 --> 00:29:07,914
Tonight I'm bringing you home
a baby brother.
596
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:31,470
NARRATOR:
The Academy of Motion Picture
Arts and Sciences presents...
597
00:29:31,503 --> 00:29:34,506
its 35th annual
achievement awards.
598
00:29:36,208 --> 00:29:39,912
These people, like most of us,
are movie fans.
599
00:29:39,946 --> 00:29:41,948
They've come from
all over the country,
600
00:29:41,981 --> 00:29:44,750
here to the Pacific Auditorium
in Santa Monica, California,
601
00:29:44,783 --> 00:29:47,753
to get a glimpse
of their favorite movie actors,
602
00:29:47,786 --> 00:29:49,355
as the most famous faces
in the world
603
00:29:49,388 --> 00:29:53,159
arrive to attend
Oscar's coming out party.
604
00:29:54,626 --> 00:29:57,296
Look, there's Jack Lord
of Stoney Burke.
605
00:29:57,329 --> 00:29:59,498
(reporters clamoring)
606
00:29:59,531 --> 00:30:01,533
Eva Marie Saint.
607
00:30:03,069 --> 00:30:06,038
There's little Patty Duke.
608
00:30:06,072 --> 00:30:09,041
There's Lee Remick
with husband Bill Colleran.
609
00:30:09,075 --> 00:30:13,612
There's Bob Stack
and Mrs. Stack.
610
00:30:13,645 --> 00:30:17,016
And Gregory Peck, a nominee
for his work this year
611
00:30:17,049 --> 00:30:19,852
as Atticus Finch
in To Kill a Mockingbird.
612
00:30:20,987 --> 00:30:22,554
And there's Miss Bette Davis,
613
00:30:22,588 --> 00:30:24,556
nominated tonight
for her performance
614
00:30:24,590 --> 00:30:26,993
in What Ever Happened
to Baby Jane?
615
00:30:27,026 --> 00:30:29,461
REPORTER: Miss de Havilland,
is is true you flew out
616
00:30:29,495 --> 00:30:33,065
from Paris to present the award
for Best Picture?
617
00:30:33,099 --> 00:30:36,368
I will present that award,
but I traveled here
618
00:30:36,402 --> 00:30:39,205
to be with my dear
friend, Bette.
619
00:30:39,238 --> 00:30:44,176
I'm here to see her be the first
actress to win three Oscars.
620
00:30:44,210 --> 00:30:46,045
She's the greatest.
(laughs)
621
00:30:46,078 --> 00:30:48,814
And the industry
owes her this.
622
00:30:48,847 --> 00:30:50,816
What do you say to that,
Miss Davis?
623
00:30:50,849 --> 00:30:55,421
I'm not ashamed to admit
I want this.
624
00:30:55,454 --> 00:30:56,722
(crowd cheering)
625
00:30:56,755 --> 00:30:58,857
NARRATOR: There's screen legend
Joan Crawford.
626
00:30:58,891 --> 00:31:01,560
She'll be presenting the Oscar
tonight for Best Director.
627
00:31:01,593 --> 00:31:04,330
REPORTER:
Miss Crawford, Miss Crawford.
628
00:31:04,363 --> 00:31:07,366
Your Baby Jane costar,
Bette Davis,
629
00:31:07,399 --> 00:31:09,401
is nominated
for Best Actress tonight.
630
00:31:09,435 --> 00:31:12,104
Who did you vote for?
631
00:31:12,138 --> 00:31:13,572
The winner.
632
00:31:17,543 --> 00:31:19,311
(women laughing)
633
00:31:23,916 --> 00:31:27,786
*
634
00:31:27,819 --> 00:31:29,755
Set the cold cuts right there
635
00:31:29,788 --> 00:31:30,889
on that table.
636
00:31:30,923 --> 00:31:32,724
Get that vodka open
637
00:31:32,758 --> 00:31:34,293
for the guests.
638
00:31:34,326 --> 00:31:35,361
What about
the centerpiece?
639
00:31:35,394 --> 00:31:36,295
Just move it.
640
00:31:38,097 --> 00:31:39,231
Miss Crawford.
641
00:31:39,265 --> 00:31:40,866
Stan,
642
00:31:40,899 --> 00:31:43,235
how lovely to see you.
How are Judy and the children?
643
00:31:43,269 --> 00:31:45,271
Miss Crawford, I'm
sorry, but you cannot
644
00:31:45,304 --> 00:31:47,039
turn the greenroom
into your own
645
00:31:47,073 --> 00:31:49,441
private party.
It's against Academy bylaws.
646
00:31:49,475 --> 00:31:50,409
Light me.
647
00:31:58,917 --> 00:31:59,918
Drink.
648
00:32:01,120 --> 00:32:02,654
Have a lovely evening.
649
00:32:04,456 --> 00:32:05,992
Mamacita,
650
00:32:06,025 --> 00:32:07,994
touch up.
651
00:32:11,030 --> 00:32:14,500
PRESENTER: Now, the nominees
for Best Achievement
652
00:32:14,533 --> 00:32:16,735
in Art Direction
for a Color Production are...
653
00:32:16,768 --> 00:32:18,770
Oh, Jesus Christ, this night.
654
00:32:20,172 --> 00:32:23,809
What a fool, to care about
anything this much or want
655
00:32:23,842 --> 00:32:24,810
anything this much.
656
00:32:24,843 --> 00:32:26,812
Hey, Bette, sit down.
657
00:32:26,845 --> 00:32:28,447
Meredith Willson's Music Man.
658
00:32:28,480 --> 00:32:29,848
Look at me.
659
00:32:29,881 --> 00:32:31,850
Art direction by Paul Groesse.
660
00:32:31,883 --> 00:32:33,285
Take a breath.
661
00:32:33,319 --> 00:32:36,122
You are going to win.
662
00:32:36,155 --> 00:32:38,524
(sighs)
The crown is yours.
663
00:32:38,557 --> 00:32:39,791
And so is the record.
664
00:32:39,825 --> 00:32:41,760
...by George W. Davis...
665
00:32:41,793 --> 00:32:44,330
What did I ever do
to deserve you?
666
00:32:44,363 --> 00:32:46,598
(chuckles softly)
When we were young,
667
00:32:46,632 --> 00:32:49,301
you were one of the first
to make me feel
668
00:32:49,335 --> 00:32:51,337
I was more than a pretty face.
669
00:32:52,371 --> 00:32:54,606
You showed me how to fight.
670
00:32:54,640 --> 00:32:58,510
And, boy, did you fight for me
at the beginning of my career.
671
00:32:59,545 --> 00:33:01,647
And now here you are,
672
00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:04,150
fighting for me
at the end of mine.
673
00:33:04,183 --> 00:33:06,952
Oh, don't be so maudlin.
674
00:33:06,985 --> 00:33:09,188
Here we are at the top
of Mount Olympus,
675
00:33:09,221 --> 00:33:11,390
and all you want to do
is jump off.
676
00:33:11,423 --> 00:33:13,292
This is supposed to be
a celebration.
677
00:33:13,325 --> 00:33:16,962
Well, then, where's the booze?
678
00:33:16,995 --> 00:33:19,065
I think Frank
must've drunk it all.
679
00:33:19,098 --> 00:33:21,167
Come on, then.
Let's go to the greenroom
680
00:33:21,200 --> 00:33:24,836
and get ourselves some
proper swamp water.
681
00:33:24,870 --> 00:33:27,739
You don't want to go there.
682
00:33:30,776 --> 00:33:34,613
Why not?
683
00:33:36,615 --> 00:33:39,017
(indistinct chatter)
684
00:33:49,361 --> 00:33:51,397
JOAN:
My goodness,
685
00:33:51,430 --> 00:33:54,600
an Oscar winner at 17.
686
00:33:54,633 --> 00:33:56,368
The only way to go is down.
687
00:33:56,402 --> 00:33:58,204
So, then, you are
688
00:33:58,237 --> 00:34:00,038
the youngest
Academy Award winner
689
00:34:00,072 --> 00:34:01,707
in history, is that right?
690
00:34:01,740 --> 00:34:02,908
That's what they tell me.
691
00:34:02,941 --> 00:34:04,243
(chuckles)
692
00:34:04,276 --> 00:34:06,845
What's your pup's name?
Bambi.
693
00:34:06,878 --> 00:34:07,946
She's my good luck charm.
694
00:34:07,979 --> 00:34:09,215
Well, I'll say.
695
00:34:09,248 --> 00:34:10,882
(both chuckle)
696
00:34:10,916 --> 00:34:12,050
You know, dear,
697
00:34:12,084 --> 00:34:13,752
it isn't ladylike
698
00:34:13,785 --> 00:34:16,355
to bring a pet
to the Academy Awards.
699
00:34:16,388 --> 00:34:17,523
(gasps)
700
00:34:17,556 --> 00:34:18,890
PRESENTER:
The winner...
701
00:34:18,924 --> 00:34:21,527
is France
for Sundays and Cybele.
702
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,329
(applause)
703
00:34:40,946 --> 00:34:44,516
Good luck.
704
00:34:47,085 --> 00:34:49,288
Miss Crawford? Your
category is next.
705
00:34:49,321 --> 00:34:50,656
Best Director?
You're presenting?
706
00:34:50,689 --> 00:34:53,325
Oh, yes. Thank you.
707
00:34:53,359 --> 00:34:54,593
Right this way.
708
00:34:59,331 --> 00:35:01,300
(applause)
709
00:35:11,343 --> 00:35:14,846
How much longer
till my category?
710
00:35:14,880 --> 00:35:16,515
Best Actress?
711
00:35:16,548 --> 00:35:18,850
About ten minutes.
712
00:35:31,029 --> 00:35:35,133
(orchestra plays)
713
00:35:46,512 --> 00:35:48,780

815
00:42:01,252 --> 00:42:03,254
in Crawford's face
the next time I see her.
816

I just...
826
