In 1987, i had the privilege of attending Oscar rehearsals. I saw Ms. Davis rehearsals. She was of very sound mind. She was tiny but so powerful was her energy or nature that she was intimidating to me! I was too frightened to even say "hello" to her.
@@BLTKellysnobody asked about your opinion. This is a video about Bette, not Barbara. But I'm sorry everyone who has a brain knows that Bette Davis will always be the best actress of all time.
A Legend. A Legend. Have to say it twice because that word gets thrown around a little to much today.. What a strong presence as a young and mature woman. Bless you Betty. RIP.
Bette Davis, was a legend, the biggest and best star hollywood ever produced. Just for her to agree to do this was an event and honor for everybody to witness her appearance. She is old and probably on various medications. People were lucky just to see her that night!!!!!
It was so great to see Paul Newman finally win his first Academy Award for Best Actor for a role that he had been nominated in the same category for 25 years ago in "The Hustler" which was "Fast Eddie Felson". Newman couldn't have played the character any better than in "The Color of Money" (1986), opposite Tom Cruise. His performance was awesome and memorable! 😊😎
Yep but its another case of sympathy/overdue Oscar that took the place of a more deserving one... Hoskins had won in every award he was nominated for... except that one. He was truly phenomenal in "Mona Lisa".
As I remember, Paul thought not attending the ceremony would bring good luck. He may've attended the ceremony each time he'd been nominated (8 nominations overall). Ironically, just one year before, Paul was awarded an honorary Oscar (as the late Joel Siegel put it, an honorary statuette is the Academy's way of saying "i'm sorry."). This had happened before. In 1981 Henry Fonda won his first and only competitive Oscar for ON GOLDEN POND. The year BEFORE -- in 1980 -- an honorary Oscar was bestowed upon him.
Beacuse Mrs. Bancroft was a better choice that year. Davis as Jane was a really an Amazing performance dont get me wrong on that, buut she could nt just be as good as an charcter who attacked the title role. :)
a.k.a. overacting. i do not think Bette overacted, she played it exaggerated because the character was exaggerated. she is from a different acting school/style. the old school actors are not "method actors" as we see so many today. it is an obvious portrayal of a character, as opposed to these in the "method", which is a much more "realistic" approach to a character. one makes themselves that character by drawing from one's own experiences to relate to the character's feeling, emotions, predicament. the old way, was much more overplayed, because these screen actors came for the stage. it is a different way to play a character.
Miss Davis was genius in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? and she has given dozens of great screen performances, yet, Miss Bancroft was absolutely brilliant as Annie Sullivan in The Miracle Worker, and I have to say, Miss Bancroft deserved/earned her Oscar for that film.
Its a shame it wasn't a tie with Anne Bancroft - both were terrific performances for different reasons...Joan Crawford campaigned against Bette didn't she?
Robert Wise was one of my favorite directors of all time. He directed so many great, seminal American films, that if you look up his contributions, you will be AMAZED. RIP.
Agreed, it seems he could turn his hand to any genre and put out a mature, well crafted picture. I have seen about a dozen of his pictures, and the rest are all on my bucket list. Klaatu Borada Nikto!
@@tiffsaver I even like his Star Trek movie. Growing up, we were always at church when the show was broadcast in re-runs, so Star Trek: The Motion Picture was the first piece of Star Trek that I got to see all the way through. It's an intelligent film, and I don't mind its slow pacing. More 2001 than it was Star Wars. I have a great deal of affection for it to this day.

Bette rocks. She was the best. And she's so funny in the last minute. The following day the press said she made a total fool of herself but she did it on purpose. We'll never see her like again.
Is obvious you don't know anything about Betty Davis, she had a couple of strokes, is a miracle she got to walk and talk again, that's the reason why she drag her words, but her mind was very sharp. We all enjoy watching Betty D. except for you.
Bette was being Polite in waiting for the individual applause to die down after she read the nominee's name. She was right to do so. However the TV DIRECTOR panicked with the timing and cut off her mike making her look off track. And she was further being polite in Introducing Robert Wise. It doesn't even matter. Bette being the queen of Hollywood deserved better respect from a tv director.
She is treated the same as everyone else. And rightly so. She wanted more camera time to herself. She would go on all night long if she wasn't cut off and cost the academy hundreds of thousand pounds. She was a media addict
@@stephenrafter1980 I think you’ll find she gave the industry more than they could repay. She was a Star with a capital S. Not to mention she had recovered from multiple strokes before this, and her speech was slowed by this.
Well the fact that she could still get up there and get through that is amazing. Seeing that she passed away shortly two years after this explains a lot. She was great though.
hi the Lady read her part then he was to talk she was doing her part she is a actor doing her job love you Mrs Davis love you so much you rock lady happy happy
Just like her iconic screen characters, Bette showed toughness to get through her section even though modern standards at that time of presenting & standing longer and reading more would have exceeded the times she would have been used to in her heyday. So happy to see how she command respect from everyone with that no nonsense attitude, but also sadness as within two years she would pass away. Bette and Robert - titans of classic cinema.
The late Bob Hoskins tells the story that himself James Woods, Dexter Gordon and William Hurt spent much of the show in the bar drinking toasts to Paul Newman. He says he was glad he didn't win as he was in no state to make any sort of speech
@@temitm7500 I thought the SAME as you & I absolutely loved Bette Davis: but she & Joan Crawford were obviously men & they literally hated each other & were constant rivals!! JC was insanely jealous of BD & also EXTREMELY CRUEL to the helpless children she adopted: including in his will!!! This transgendering has been going on in "HELLYWEIRD" & the music industry forever & it's all now "COMING OUT": into the open: some I already knew: but MANY I didn't: new revelations are manifesting fast!!! 🤔😲
Without her...and several others....most of those people including the crew wouldnt have been there. The oscars would never have been what they were. She was showing grace and class, which by this point the show was starting not to be. The audience had patient and grace on her. Never would happen today. I know they had time crunch but by god.
She was fabulous until the end of her life: “we have to wait a second” ….”you must let me say something about you first”…”just a moment” …”now you get on, that’s right”..
Bette Davis a uniquely brilliant actress - it was somehow in keeping that she left the stage with a dramatic exit like that, it may seem like a faux pas but in fact it'll still be remembered far longer than many of the slick performances we normally get on these occasions - ill she may be but she commanded the stage for the short period she was on it: poor Robert Wise learned like so many before him that its best not to share a performance with the great Bette Davis if you want to be noticed
Love the intro of the incomparable Bette Davis, "First Lady of the Silver Screen". I don't believe anyone ever got an intro like that before, and only Olivia de Havilland since. The Oscars get little right, especially in their political popularity contest selections, but this was a great moment.
Just because something isn't mentioned in an intro doesn't mean it isn't true. You want her entire biography? If you weren't lazy you'd google and find it easily, rather than trying to be insulting. Shame on you. @@TheTerryE
Correct. Gish was essentially the first. But Bette Davis was commonly referred to what I stated, as the greatest in the opinion of many. Here's one link. www.liveabout.com/bette-davis-biography-4580471@@laniejean6618
Bette was pretty angry about this, according to an interview she did with ET the next day. I remember watching this live. I think the problem here is more a reflection of the changing times than anything. In her day, the presenter just read the names. There were no clips. They only started doing the clip thing for the Oscars a couple of years before this particular broadcast. Not sure if they rehearsed at all. Regardless, it makes for a fun moment of live TV. You might notice that on these awards shows today, the announcing of the nominees names over the clips is all pre-recorded.
Bette would do anything possible for extra camera time. She got into trouble for doing it here. She was the best in her own head. There is a name for that kind of bold behaviour now. Can anyone guess what it is.
It’s a damn shame she never did comedy. Specifically what I would call Witt sharp comedy. Because she was a natural. She had some of the best one liners and great delivery.
They did cut her microphone and she was not happy about it...for her response please see......BETTE DAVIS on "LATE SHOW WITH JOAN RIVERS" 1987 (1/2) She talks all about it!
Now find the video on UA-cam with Bette being interviewed by Joan Rivers about all of the hoopla and trash that was written about Bette after this moment-Bette has some good stuff to say..A must watch..
I still get pissed when I watch this and they cut her mic. Bette, in my opinion can say and do as she wishes in front of the academy, on any stage or any time any where. SHE HAS EARNED EVERY MOMENT. How dare they cut her.
You can not make the Queen of silver screen look silly. If she felt they had Miss Davis was renowed for taking off heads at 20 feet if she thought some one was at it with her....Miss Davis was unique and so talented she refined talent.
I also think Bette Davis was great and a legend. That is not the issue here. She was in no mental shape to take on this task, as evidenced by her fumbling around with papers while Robert Wise was already well into his remarks on behalf of Paul Neuman. And, then, when she found what she was looking for, appearing totally clueless to that fact that she missed the boat and he was well into his remarks, she stops him dead and wants to awkwardly rewind to what she had hoped she might have done BEFORE he started speaking. WAY before. That, my friends, is called "old persons syndrome." Any number of nursing home patients would have done the same thing. She should not have been given this assignment. She could have easily been recognized and honored that night in a different way, not by putting her on the spot with a task that was beyond her cognitive abilities. It was no different than wheeling out a quadriplegic and expecting them to dance...quickly, and on the beat.
The press made a huge thing about it saying she wasn't on top of her game anymore because of her previous stroke years before. By the way, on a totally diffrent subject: DEXTER GORDON RULES!
im SOOOOOOO happy that Mr. Newman finally got his OSCAR!!!!!!!!:):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):):D But i Think He is a screen legend and he deserved the hole four oscarwins!

Bette completely OWNED him! She just took the moment like a true alpha dog! God love her. The only one she could never pull something like this on would have been Crawford.
Que mulher fantástica era Bette Davis! Eles deveriam ter lhe dado um Oscar honorário naquela ocasião. É verdade isso de que cortaram o microfone dela na hora do anúncio dos indicados? Ficou muito estranho, além de ter sido uma grande falta de respeito com essa dama da sétima arte.
The legend Bette Davis. My favorite!!! 💜💜
In 1987, i had the privilege of attending Oscar rehearsals. I saw Ms. Davis rehearsals. She was of very sound mind. She was tiny but so powerful was her energy or nature that she was intimidating to me! I was too frightened to even say "hello" to her.
This was after one of her strokes; it was an act of immense courage for her to appear on the show at all.
I don't think so.
Yes, you are right.
The Oscar audience saw a legend that night. The greatest film actress of all time. The great Bette Davis.
Barbara Stanwyck was better than her.
@@BLTKellys at least she's better than you!
@@BLTKellysdebes estar drogado para decir semejante estupidez
@@BLTKellysnobody asked about your opinion. This is a video about Bette, not Barbara. But I'm sorry everyone who has a brain knows that Bette Davis will always be the best actress of all time.
@@fortunecat4735 she was a scenery chewing ham. Stanwyck was worth ten of her.
Ah, Bette. I remember watching this live, and looking at it now, how the audience showed their respect by letting her be her.
Me, too. I think Bette was heavily medicated. This was her last Oscar appearance before she died two yrs later. Great actress.😷
William looked a bit 'Hurt' though, when he didn't get his name called.
@@auntiedionne5333 Well, of course. He was petty that way. Just ask Marlee Matlin.
BETTE DAVIS...My favorite and best actress of all time!...Great movies...she can never be replaced.
At this point of her life, She wasn’t there to present, she was there to PRESIDE 👑
Pure talent. No comparison in Hollywood today. RIP, Bette.
A Legend. A Legend. Have to say it twice because that word gets thrown around a little to much today.. What a strong presence as a young and mature woman. Bless you Betty. RIP.
TOTALLY AMAZING! BETTE DAVIS COULD DO ANYTHING SHE WANTED!!! HAHAHA!!! NOBODY COULD EVER THINK OF SHUTTING UP THAT LEGEND!!!
My all time favourite actress absolutely brilliant made of strong stuff no one can touch her.
Bette Davis, was a legend, the biggest and best star hollywood ever produced. Just for her to agree to do this was an event and honor for everybody to witness her appearance. She is old and probably on various medications. People were lucky just to see her that night!!!!!
Aw.....that was very nice and respectful of her.
I love to hear Bette Davis speak, she had more to say than all of the actors that were there.

@@sdkelmaruecan2907 no Paul Newman was phenomenal and deserved it
Paul Newman was so tired of losing that he didn't even attend. It was his seventh nomination.
I think Newman thought they were going to do it to him again and pick Hoskins, who was probably his biggest threat that year.
Ironically enough he did not show up for him winning. He was damn good in a lot if films
I think he was directing a new version of the glass menagerie.
Of what I saw Hoskins was the best of those 5 but my god Newman should have had it much earlier in his career. Well Deserved.@@slc2466

Hahahahahaha "Ooh a piece of Candy"!
Bette Davis was "The Puto Amo"!!
Bette completely OWNED him! She just took the moment like a true alpha dog! God love her. The only one she could never pull something like this on would have been Crawford.
Que mulher fantástica era Bette Davis! Eles deveriam ter lhe dado um Oscar honorário naquela ocasião.
É verdade isso de que cortaram o microfone dela na hora do anúncio dos indicados? Ficou muito estranho, além de ter sido uma grande falta de respeito com essa dama da sétima arte.
Bette Davis. Enough said.
Bob Hoskins oscar hands down.
Mr. Newman deserved this one and 3 more, `hands down´ on your comment :D.
Exactly. Had Mona Lisa made now he'd won easily. I mean, he won all the previous awards before the Oscar....which failed him.
