Another great Oscar Moment. Red was great man. Many comics offscreen are very dour. Not Red. I saw him in an interview once where he said he really wanted to win this for one reason. He said "I wanted to kiss Lana Turner!!"
WOW , when the presenter robs the show , Lana Turner was always Lana Turner , and did it better than anyone else ! - God bless Red Buttons , Lana Turner , Jimmy Stewart , Janet Leigh and Don Murray - I love them all !
As with Sinatra, winning the Oscar changed Buttons' career. He came to be known as a dramatic actor, as well as a comedian and he performed admirably in Pollock's They Shoot Horses, Don't They and The Longest Day. Both Red and James Garner, who was featured in Sayonara, credited Marlon Brando with easing their transition into dramatic films.
Hollywood trivia: Lana Turner was asked not to bring her mobster boyfriend Johnny Stampanato to this show. That led to the wild fight between the two on good friday after the show and Turner’s daughter Cheryl Crane stabbing the mobster to death as she feared for her mother’s life.
I always loved the movie and can't wait to see it again as I didn't know he won, as did the lady who turned out to be the 1st Asian to win also. That was a great pick that year. Now I'll play the Red Buttons song, "Strange Things Are Happening" because the class in Oscars Oscars don't happen like this.
You couldn't be more right. Lana Turner was a great star, the natural successor to Joan Crawford (who was also a better actress). She was a modestly talented actress but the camera loved her and for 20 years (1940-1960) she was at the top.
You hit the nail right on the head with your assessment of Lana Turner...I'm a fan of hers. I enjoy watching her work on film, but I REALLY love seeing her in moments like this where she was the epitome of a star.
Terry - Lana was still a big star in 1966 when she did MADAME X - you're cutting her short! And she never stopped being a star after that - in Tv and the stage,
True about Lana. Later that night a jealous & drunk Johnny Stompanato beat the $#!+ out of her for not bringing him with her. The whole thing ended a week or so later on Good Friday. The circumstances of which are still murky seven decades later.
True story, about 20 years ago, I stayed in an old hotel (The Del Capri) on Wilshire blvd. in Westwood, California and all kinds of strange things were going on in my room like lights flickering on and off and strange noises. I went to the front desk and mentioned the strange happenings and the clerk informed me that the room was formerly rented to Johnny Stompanato and that he was living there at the time he was killed. They smiled and looked at me like they had the inside joke. They had no doubt as to the authenticity of my stories. I definitely felt his presence in that room! : )
Can anyone see whose hand he’s grabbing at 2:03 on his way up to the stage? He was so nervous, I love how he said he was “ grateful”, then “thankful”, in between breaths!
Tony Curtiz, Anthony Franchiosa and Charles Laughton Should been at least nominated for for sweet smell of succés, a hatful of rain and witness for the prosecution imo. well, Laughton and Franschoca was nominated for best LEADING actor, But I call them more supporting than lead as Roberts and Mr. Polo Pope!;)
+Charles Heiston I was just kidding (wich is why I used the ;). Anyways I do think that Hayakawa should had won, even though I was not too much of a fan of TBOTRK. Altough I still liked Buttons :) +cats pajamas dude your just a hypocrite turd
First of all, so called "Red Buttons", wasn't his real name. There was nothing wrong with his actual birth name, Aaron Chwatt. he obviously "sold out" his birth name because of the shallowness of the entertainment industry?! Most likely the change was made as the result of a greedy Business Manager, with perceived notions of greater recognition accompanied with monetary gains? In reality, it's also shows blatant disrespect for one's parents & their family heritage, just to possibly obtain (not earn) a greater buck?!
Lana Turner who portrayed Constance MacKenzie in the Peyton Place movie filled in for Dorothy Malone who portrayed the same character in the Peyton Place TV Series
@INTERNETWORK hajajaja ur on drugs!! Show me link turner said that she didn't have talent.. Onggg ur a waste of time !! Lana turner the best dramatic actress in her generation other actresses you've mentioned knew it but life is not all about awards.. Those names u mentioned bought their awards period and Lana didn't!
@INTERNETWORK She was a gifted PR woman who utilized all the groomings of the "contract" era. They used her and she used them! She was one of the few stars who spoke fondly of the contract era in Hollywood.
Lana Turner was a typical Hollywood's product. A too-much artificial bleach blonde. She could've make a much better dark hair lady. Actually, artificial in all senses, her personality (excess of hysteria), her totally unnatural and talentless acting, among others.
ALE MAR-After I found out she only left 50G to her one and only daughter and the rest (5M?) to her personal assistant I lost all respect for her. What a homophobe! Was always phony! Needy witch.

And he did it!! A dream come true 😅😅
He should have taken a stab at kissing Janet Leigh, while the iron was hot! (Rowr)
So deserving! Back when Oscar Speeches were plain and simple, yet sincere with no rambling on thanking everyone and their dog!
He sounds drunk 😂
Lana Turner knew how to make an entrance.
A wonderful old-fashioned glamor star!!
Red Buttons tore my heart out in Sayonara. Well deserved.
Damn right.
So true! Red Buttons was great in this movie and deserved the Oscar! I loved everybody in this movie.
When stars were stars and dressed like stars.
They did and noone cares anymore what a horrible shame !!!
@@scottmiller6495 ok boomer
We need to get back to that today is too casual.
Lana and Red were so cute!
WOW , when the presenter robs the show , Lana Turner was always Lana Turner , and did it better than anyone else ! - God bless Red Buttons , Lana Turner , Jimmy Stewart , Janet Leigh and Don Murray - I love them all !
Very deserved win. He would go on to do great and endearing work on film for years to come.
As with Sinatra, winning the Oscar changed Buttons' career.

From his gasping for air, it really is true winning an academy award truly takes your breath away.
100%
Red Buttons was great in this film and deserved the win! A very beautiful and tender movie!
Wonderful film.
I agree with everyone here. I love love LOVE Lana Turner. She was a true star.
Lana looks fabulous here.
She definitely had that "it" factor!
Yet she can hardly breath
@@bilbobaggins4403 i would also next to her ;-)
She sure did
A moment where a very funny man was serious. Holding back tears too.
Red Buttons was a very underrated actor but what an incredible performer he could do it all !!!
When you've primarily seen his work in comedy, and to see him playing such a serious role, to flip expectations on its ear, is astounding.
He should have been nominated for They Shoot Horses Don't They?
Probably worth it just to get a kiss 😘 from Lana Turner. 😊
Oscar Winner but he never got a dinner.
He always played every role soooo good.
And across the aisle from Red--in jet black hair-- is the great Carolyn Jones (nominated that year) and her then husband Aaron Spelling.
Lana: just six hours later her life would begin to change in an unimaginable way. She was a modestly talented actress overall, but a great star.
RIP and long live Red Buttons (February 5, 1919 - July 13, 2006), aged 87
You will always be remembered as a legend.
Hollywood trivia: Lana Turner was asked not to bring her mobster boyfriend Johnny Stampanato to this show. That led to the wild fight between the two on good friday after the show and Turner’s daughter Cheryl Crane stabbing the mobster to death as she feared for her mother’s life.
Whoa!
Lana Turner! Wow!
Lana Turner was such a beauty and super cute and hot! Amazing :)
James Stewart. Jimmy. Janet Leigh. Lana Turner. Red Bottom. Arthur Kennedy. .....
I always loved the movie and can't wait to see it again as I didn't know he won, as did the lady who turned out to be the 1st Asian to win also. That was a great pick that year.

Wow, Lana Turner, a goddess.
Red Buttons needed a minute to get his breath!
Lana is the greatest of the movie stars.

INTERNETWORK ...or yours. 😕
Lana was still a huge star when she did MADAME X in 1966.
"Men like me and I like men." - Lana Turner
WAY back when Hollywood had class and talent
True about Lana. Later that night a jealous & drunk Johnny Stompanato beat the $#!+ out of her for not bringing him with her. The whole thing ended a week or so later on Good Friday. The circumstances of which are still murky seven decades later.

I was blessed to have seen or met both James & Lana!
What was it like meeting them?
Janet Leigh, yowza!
Love those old time stage names - Red Buttons!
Boy Janet Leigh was gorgeous.
Stewart is a geniuus
Yeah a genius at playing Jimmy Stewart in every movie.
When women were beautiful!
Amen!!
Can anyone see whose hand he’s grabbing at 2:03 on his way up to the stage? He was so nervous, I love how he said he was “ grateful”, then “thankful”, in between breaths!
And well deserved it was too. He played a great part in that movie.
Lana upstaging Red.
Lana upstaging EVERYONE! : )
Goodness, what knockers!
Lee J. Cobb should've been nominated for 12 Angry Men.
BoyThunder Productions He should have WON in my estimation.
Nevah has a dinner...
@INTERNETWORK Joseph Cotton who once said, "You know how I got my name? Sammy Davis picked it for me." Never ha a dinner!
Lana was a Hollywood manufactured star - but what a creation. They don't make them like that today.
Should of went to Sessue Hayakawa for The Bridge On The River Kwai (UK).
KNOWING THE HISTORY OF BEAUTIFUL LANA, IT WAS AFTER THIS AWARD SHOW THAT THE MURDER OF HER BOYFRIEND TOOK PLACE...
The murder happened a few days after Oscar night. But the thug friend did give her a beating when she got home from the Oscar party.
Tony Curtiz, Anthony Franchiosa and Charles Laughton Should been at least nominated for for sweet smell of succés, a hatful of rain and witness for the prosecution imo. well, Laughton and Franschoca was nominated for best LEADING actor, But I call them more supporting than lead as Roberts and Mr. Polo Pope!;)
Tony Curtis!
To all of you, the studios decide which category to submit actors to, not the Academy.
Janet lEigh was pretty but Lana was really beautiful.
I love Red Buttons but Sessue Hayakawa should have won. Better performance, better film.
it looks like the Oscars Always mention first the actor that wins the Oscar.
alphabetical order :)
Yes he should have.
De Sica was nominated for acting?
It's 2020 and Hollywood has gone to Hell.
Hayakawa should have won, imo. if he was not in the film the Movie would ave sucked! ;)
Yeah, Dr. Strangelove is a kind of a hypocrite.
+Charles Heiston I was just kidding (wich is why I used the ;). Anyways I do think that Hayakawa should had won, even though I was not too much of a fan of TBOTRK. Altough I still liked Buttons :)
+cats pajamas dude your just a hypocrite turd
No dude you obviously need to relax. I was just wonddering
Famous river kwai
Sessue Hayakawa should have won.

its a heartache ?

Why didnt Dorothy Malone present this award?
You need to relax dude!
Lana Turner who portrayed Constance MacKenzie in the Peyton Place movie filled in for Dorothy Malone who portrayed the same character in the Peyton Place TV Series
what a joke
Lana Turner had bad taste. Horrible dress. Janet Leigh looks great though!
Fake awards show banter. Cringe.
And they've gotten much worse since! : )
Hey Oscars why Lana turner had never won best actress award?? She was the best and ultimate actress in her era. Such a waste!!!
@INTERNETWORK hajajaja ur on drugs!! Show me link turner said that she didn't have talent.. Onggg ur a waste of time !!
