    I was in the stands that night as the stars walked the red carpet. My high school was 10 minutes away from the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion and as soon as school was over I took off to get a good seat. I'll never forget the stars I saw that night, especially Joan Crawford looking regal and radiant! What a great memory!

      B Wayland: I still remember it, even though it was so many years ago. I was a star-struck teenager then and I'm a star-struck senior now! That's the night Barbra Streisand ran through the bushes to avoid being interviewed and walk the red carpet.

      No disrespects, but I thought the 1960s was or at least became a very decadent generation for many people.

    Amazing clip. That brief bit by Ron Moody and Jack Wild is the most charming open I've ever seen for the Oscars. I suspect some of the audience non-response to Sinatra could be his public divorce from Mia Farrow during the filming of Rosemary's Baby because she wouldn't quit to work on his film. And he was probably seen as a square in the height of the hippie era. What a time capsule.

    I would take an opening like this any day over the silly comedy intros that the Academy gives us now. Of course this could never happen now because the Golden Age of Hollywood is a thing of the past. In that audience that evening were two ladies who would each win an Academy Award. Ruth Gordon for "Rosemary's Baby" and Barbra Streisand for "Funny Girl."
