All were stars at that point, but there’s something quite amazing about Lansbury, never had to rely on beauty, she had such talent, even with the same choreography, everything she does stands out as being that much better, perfect, a real pro. An amazing talent that surely will be missed from the Broadway and film community!
I think the Academy Awards then were just an industry thing, not a worldwide broadcast to appeal to to lowest common slob, but just for the artistic to enjoy a night of glitz and showmanship
@@timothyball7502 An acting or mere entertainment star is the status of someone who is not actually that good at acting or entertaining, but who is appreciated and loved despite being talent-challenged.
@@haranoe Yes, yes all that I have been in on for decades. But a star is a space object first. Actors got that title for the early actors did shine. Studios promoted them to bring in vast audiences.

@@goldennagefilms to be honest how is that sexist she always has class at awards shows and dresses the way it should be to show some glamor again which is missing alot of the time now days
When it comes to the Oscar's and any award show I stick by that statement as I remember in the 2000s ladies wearing Jean's for events like the tony awards and Oscar's which isnt good enough in my mind. So I stand by the statement in that context not as in an every day lives context just dont read into it that way as it isnt ment in anything other than being in the public eye on an awards night to which you need to be dressed appropriately
To see Joan Collins perform with Angela Lansbury is wonderful. They were stars then in 1959 - but HEY they are the stars of today as well. Who else can say that after having such great long careers?
As a young girl, her beauty was underestimated. Just watch her small part in "The picture of Dorian Gray." She was WAY prettier than Donna Reed. Then watch her in color, as the philistine woman in "Samson and Delilah."
I had no idea A. Lansbury was such a tall woman! She seems to have it all... beauty, brains, charm, elegance, Height, smarts, talent!! She is all that!! And I'm so jealous! And notice by how her gown hangs (look at her shoulders & waist) just how slight J. Collins was back in the day!! Yikes!! She was a little lady.... A time when Hollywood was so very grand! Thanks for sharing!
A lot of male actors are surprisingly short. Lansbury at 5'8", plus shoes, is going to tower over most of them. But put her next to Geena Davis or Sigourney Weaver (both 6'), and she would not look remarkably tall.
Years later, Joan and Shirley would co-star in the tv movie These Old Broads (along with Liz Taylor, referred to in the audience, though not seen in this clip)@@azvascos7542
+carmenjones411 : It was a bit over the top bitchy. I love all those actresses. Certainly Roz and Susan worked hard for decades and deserved more respect.
I think it was just edgy for the times. That was the kind of humour not usually put out there in front of everyone, especially not televised. Studios still worked for "appearances" and the show biz, perfect life effect. This cracked that facade a bit, and I think that's what made them uncomfortable.
Yes it was good, but I don't know if Roz Russell & Susie Hayward were impressed with what was written about them. The writing kind of put them down. I feel they were quite rightly embarrassed by the material while adeptly performed.
@@randomspiel She was given an honorary Oscar in 2013, so I guess that's what they mean. She won five Tonies and got a sixth for Lifetime Achievement. But you're right about the Emmy and Grammy...nominated for both, but never won.
Ya lo creo, que pensarían todos las personas de 1959 que asistiriamos a una gala en la que pegaría al presentador, otra gala en la que se equivocan en dar el Oscar. ...............
Absolutely delightful! Style, class, elegance, wit, being well groomed and dressed is sadly a thing of the past. I do love clips like this of the past. It reminds me what we have lost.
Honestly, Angela Lansbury was incredibly beautiful when she was very young. I still think, even as she got older, she had a very handsome and lovely face. RIP 🙏
I've been waiting 10 years to see this: an extremely short clip of it was aired during the 2003 ceremony. Thank you very much for finally uploading it!!
@@marymary68ify The Lancaster-Douglas version of this a year before came off fine but this didn't, as seen in Hayward's and Russell's faces. I wonder if this insicates a greater degree of jealously among actors than actresses?
I know!!! Maybe Sue was nervous- she’d been up for so many Oscars during the 50s and I’m so glad she got it for playing Barbara Graham in the gas chamber! Must’ve been nail biting though because of the sympathy vote for Liz Taylor in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof ( and her husband poor Mike Todd dying in a plane crash)
Любопытно видеть Анжелу Лансбери молодой. Я её, конечно, молодой и раньше видела, но привыкла к ней в сериале "Она написала убийство", где она уже пожилой дамой снималась.💗💞❤
Анжела -англичанка,в Лондоне в 30 годах прошлого века,ее отец возглавлял один из местных канселов и был очень известен! Так он и его сотрудники пошли в тюрьму,потому что отказались полностью отдавать все налоги своего кансела в государственный бюджет, а хотели тратить их на жителей данного района Лондона!
Angela Lansbury and Dana Wynter - two marvellous actresses and women of discretion, elegance and integrity . Furthermore , both , not only eschewed the “ celebrity” lifestyle but were also too dignified to even want to be “ celebrities”. Unlike some B movie actresses who laid down the foundations of the hyped nonsense of today . IMO.
Loved this. The three looked fabulous and noticed how Miss Lansbury is much taller than the other two. Many think she's little and petite when she's really tall and lanky.
as a younger person i used to watch all the big awards shows on tv for movies and music. actors back then were usually trained in acting and singing for a wider range of roles, unlike more of them today that do one or the other most of the time
This was really cute and the women obviously practiced. Enjoyed it very much. As for the reaction of some of the stars, I think the explanation is not that they have no humor, but that they are extremely tense on Oscar night, which is entirely understandable.
How about Liz Taylor's reaction filmed in the audience? ..Any camera - zoom - in close up of her reaction is nowhere🧐🕵️🙄 ..A *major* screw - up from the camera crew .. they must have been asleep at the controls.🎥😴💤🤔🙄😟👎👎👎.. . A moment in time .. lost forever 😞.. due to *gross* *negligence*....Her face reacting😤 would have been perfect for creating a continuous loop .🎞️non - stop entertainment right there😆😆😆😆🤭🤭🤭🤭😏 . seeing her face reacting would have been PRICELESS!

Personality and charisma - can't beat it as an actor
She was a beautiful woman in her own right.
@@lulamidgeable some people grow into their looks as they get older.
I hope you have seen Angela L in Samson and Delilah. She was drop dead gorgeous.
She was a stage actress as well as movies, which is why she owned this number. She was amazing.
Well, never thought I’d see Angela Lansbury and Joan Collins doing a song and dance on stage together! Delicious.
Don't forget the luminous Dana Wynter!
RIP Angela Lansbury, We miss you terribly. You gave us so much in your 96 years of life.
RIP Angela Lansbury. You enchanted audiences for so many decades, the whole Broadway community is in your debt.
True, but not in this !
I totally agree..X
Well done ladies!
Angela Lansbury stands above them all. And not just in physical stature!
Angela never lost her singing and dancing chops... and her beauty 💋
All 3 are so good, but Miss Angela Lansbury is just luminous! RIP dear girl.
Such witty smart lyrics and the look on the stars' faces! You can tell who took themselves too seriously and who had a sense of humor. Perfect!
Shirley MacLaine was the only one that smiled, bless her.
Absolutely
BACK WHEN OSCAR NIGHT WAS FUN !!!!
And the clothing was expertly made. I think the dresses were so much prettier back then.
I think the Academy Awards then were just an industry thing, not a worldwide broadcast to appeal to to lowest common slob, but just for the artistic to enjoy a night of glitz and showmanship
Same people and same trannys parade. Man en vrouw .
and civilized!
This is fab - But Lansbury stands out a mile. A STAR
The other two were not singers.
@@carylacamera4731 Neither was Angela. Not even today.
It's like saying that Madonna or Kanye West are singers.

Angela, Joan and Dana are wearing gowns that would look fabulous at the Oscars even today.
those people of today dont know good fashion this ladies are classy beautiful gowns
And Joan still does dress like a woman should.
Shaun Wakefield ummm extremely sexist

True.
and Joan is still alive and looking fab
Joan Collins is nowhere near Angela Lansbury
Its funny that I can see traces of the future 'Alexis Carrington' in this young Joan Collins...
Dana Wynter is Also one of the ladies in this video clip.
Dana Wynter is so beautiful . she had some great roles in Various movies. I wish she was still with us RIP DANA
RIP dear Angela Lansbury. I watched ‘ Murder she wrote’ in the 80’s, 90’s and early 2000’s and I still watch them even if they are repeats.
I'm watching it right now.
@@karenjones1 A British icon
❤
Angela Lansbury was by far the best of the trio!!! Great performance!!!
I agree.
RIP Angela Lansbury who passed recently in October. Dana Wynter passed in 2011 and Joan Collins is still among us at 89.💞.
Rest in peace Angela. We will all miss your talent. I still watch Murder She Wrote.
Susan Hayward...if looks could kill. Wow!
Rosalind Russell gives Hayward a close second…
RIP Angela Lansbury
(1925-2022).
Our Stars back then had CLASS!
How elegant Angela Lansbury was. May she Rest In Heavenly Peace!
WONDERFUL!!!!!!!!!
Angela Lansbury is really splendid!
Ganga23septber
Certainly. She is outstanding.
mariana alexandru full length movies
I didn't know Angela Lansbury was so tall! Thank goodness for old videos like this for those of us that wasn't alive then.
Yes, Joan’s around 5’6” so AL must’ve been quite tall!
I always thought Lansbury was short. Why did she look short on TV to me. Was she sitting most of the time? She is 5'8".
Angela may not have looked like the most glamorous Hollywood star but she sure was among the most talented and most classy
No,but sorry she was much more glamorous than you think♡
As a young girl, her beauty was underestimated. Just watch her small part in "The picture of Dorian Gray." She was WAY prettier than Donna Reed. Then watch her in color, as the philistine woman in "Samson and Delilah."
I've always thought her absolutely adorable.
What planet do you live on? She was sexy, talented, and intelligent. Wow!
Hate to tell you each of these young Ladies were absolutely beautiful . What do you look like?
This was truly a treat !!
Joan and Angela and Dana as a Comedy Trio who would have thought !!
Just wonderful, pure joy to watch !!
I had no idea A. Lansbury was such a tall woman! She seems to have it all... beauty, brains, charm, elegance, Height, smarts, talent!! She is all that!! And I'm so jealous!

A time when Hollywood was so very grand! Thanks for sharing!
I didn’t realize this either until Murder She Wrote. Eventually I noticed she was either as tall or taller than all the male actors on the show.
You did not mention. Dana Winter the lead lady of these three ❤
@@oldladyjamz All? she was 5'8"
A lot of male actors are surprisingly short. Lansbury at 5'8", plus shoes, is going to tower over most of them. But put her next to Geena Davis or Sigourney Weaver (both 6'), and she would not look remarkably tall.
Angela had such the cinched waist and comedic timing and beautiful word pronunciation. Long love the queen.
Angela sure is the best dancer among the two equally gorgeous ladies. We'll miss her.
Dana Wynter was such a talented woman. I wish we saw more of her.
Angela Lansbury is an amazing woman!!! Just adore her.
😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣 that's a DUDE!! 😂🤣
When NO ONE in the audience is having it but everyone on UA-cam is 😂
Susan Hayward looked constipated, as usual.
Shirley MacClain is enjoying it clearly. She appreciates a good laugh in song. ❤
Years later, Joan and Shirley would co-star in the tv movie These Old Broads (along with Liz Taylor, referred to in the audience, though not seen in this clip)@@azvascos7542
Some of the women in the audience werent amused.
Holy crap 1959!!
Seriously I keep watching this. How could they all have treated it so seriously?? It's SO GOOD!
Joan collins mentioned in her book how she regretted being a part of the sketch because it was rude and cringeworthy
Pooh Pooh, watch the oscars now! They're a roast in themselves!
+carmenjones411 : It was a bit over the top bitchy. I love all those actresses. Certainly Roz and Susan worked hard for decades and deserved more respect.

Angela Lansbury was made for Broadway! I'm glad she navigated her career towards that direction in 1957.
Yes, in my opinion, she was wasting her talent in Los Ángeles.
Angela is an E.G.O.T. = Winner of Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony !!
Ml you
@@ericthered760 she's absolutely not lol. She never won and Oscar, Emmy or Grammy. Nominated a lot and certainly respected but don't lie now
@@randomspiel She was given an honorary Oscar in 2013, so I guess that's what they mean. She won five Tonies and got a sixth for Lifetime Achievement. But you're right about the Emmy and Grammy...nominated for both, but never won.
Still going strong Wonderful Joan Collins ❤️
Oh gosh this was an absolutely marvelous piece of wonderfulness! What a treat! Thank you for sharing! RIP Angela 🙏🏻
OMG Angela was such a beauty!!! LOVE THIS CLIP!!!
Try watching The Court Jester.
Things just aren’t the same anymore. I love this.
I've got a theme to submit for next years show -
Ya lo creo, que pensarían todos las personas de 1959 que asistiriamos a una gala en la que pegaría al presentador, otra gala en la que se equivocan en dar el Oscar. ...............
And to think this year Angela finally takes home an Oscar at the age of 88 while Joan remains the most glamorous woman in the world at 80.
Don't forget Sofia !
Absolutely delightful! Style, class, elegance, wit, being well groomed and dressed is sadly a thing of the past. I do love clips like this of the past. It reminds me what we have lost.
This was well rehearsed and well performed. I miss such performances. Better than a slap on the face.
Love this all 3 are fab, but Angie shines through the star.
The likes of which we will never see again yet will live on in our hearts and minds in our film!
Honestly, Angela Lansbury was incredibly beautiful when she was very young. I still think, even as she got older, she had a very handsome and lovely face. RIP 🙏
That's not a compliment as at all
Rip Dana Wynter and Angela Lansbury. Joan is yet with us
All beautiful lovely brilliant ladies but the great Angela Lansbury stands out..hugely missed 🙏🙏🙏 RIP

Wonderful piece of history!! Angela is so talented!! We will always love and miss you Angela! ❤❤❤
Angela was amazing! beautiful
She's still amazing!
Angela, a mile above the other two 💕
Dana Wynter one of the most beautiful creature to walk the earth.

The look on Susan Haywards face is classic.

Charming and a rare clip. Thank you for uploading it.
Ángela, Joan y Dana, estrellas que perduran en el cielo de Hollywood.
Angela is great. Joan is definitely my favorite. What a great video.
Three classy, talented, beautiful ladies!
Susan Hayward was a very underrated actress. When people talk about great actresses, she is rarely mentioned. She deserved one than one Oscar.
I always thought Dana Wynter was a rare beauty.

Three beautiful and talented women. Loved seeing the shots of the stars in the audience.
2:38 awkward lol! I love how you can see they are each relishing sending up the American stereotype of British people :)
As an American , I look back at the stereotypes of Brits and cringe .
They did not say " cheerio " and carry monocles 😆
precious.
Joan was simply stunning. I have to reread her first book since I don't recall her mentioning performing at the Academy Awards.
Three Beautiful ladies singing a silly song. I Love it. RIP Angie
This has been my Find of the year. Thanks for posting.
What fabulous glamorous gowns!
Angela Lansbury just outshone her co stars with great class.
Dana Wynter was one of Hollywood's great beauties.Pretty tough to outshine that face.
Three totally classy ladies 💜💜💜
Today we have the Beauties of Katy Perry, Kelly Clarkson and Paris Hilton .
by the look on the women pointed out in the audience, this form of humor did not go over in 1959 any better than in 2021.
R.I.P Dana Wynter and Angela Lansbury
3 wonderful and beautiful English actresses.
LOVED Dana Wynter...SHE WAS A CLASS ACT
she was so good in Invasion of the Body Snatchers!!!
And Fraulein.
as a younger person i used to watch all the big awards shows on tv for movies and music. actors back then were usually trained in acting and singing for a wider range of roles, unlike more of them today that do one or the other most of the time
Angela is a natural beauty, she never got or needed any face lift ❤️❤️
I remember this skit as if it were yesterday. Watched the Academy Awards® on our Zenith b/w television.
🙂

George I never thought of that. They were extremely tense at Oscar night which explains their serious reaction to the teasing!!
