    Of course, Streisand made this beautiful song a classic. One of the most beautiful songs ever written and performed.

    I can still remember as a very young child being in the movie theater and hearing Barbra humming the iconic intro to TWWW. I didn't understand the movie until years later, but the haunting soundtrack has stuck with me for 48 yrs. TWWW not winning the Oscar is unimaginable.

    Shame on all these negative comments on Ms Margret's appearance. This was the first time she had made a public appearance since a near fatal platform plunge in 1973. From a newspaper article: Ann‐Margret suffered several facial fractures, a concussion, a broken jaw and a broken arm Sunday when she fell from a 22‐foot‐high platform just before her performance at a Lake Tahoe casino.
    An FYI folks!

    Post WWII, the 1970's was probably the first generation with the actual leisure to have nostalgia for an older time (before that everyone was just working and constantly disappointed!), hence Ann Margaret's 1930's Busby Berkley outfit, in 1974!

    Freeze at 2:40 ... the woman is a dead ringer for Barbra, but that's not Barbra's mouth or teeth. Also, Streisand is not one to be so manic and jumping all around over an award (especially for someone else). But that chick is definitely playing the Katie Morosky look for all its worth.
