C L A U D E Posted September 5, 2013 Report Share Posted September 5, 2013 The pictures can't be from the All Star Party because Lucy was wearing a different styled wig at that event. Lucy also wore the same gown to the opening of the Bob Hope Cultural Center in 1988 and I thought the pictures could actually be from that occasion. However, it seems unlikely to me that two different sources, Getty Images (which is usually pretty reliable) and another site, where a different photographer posted the shot of Lucy in the car that he said he personally took at the Happy Birthday Hollywood event, would both have the same incorrect information. The Getty site also has separate photos of Mike Connors and Lucy both standing in same doorway with captions saying they were taken at Happy Birthday Hollywood. Connors definitely appeared in that special and I can't find any record of him attending the Bob Hope event, so I think Lucy was almost certainly at Happy Birthday Hollywood. Perhaps she did just go as a spectator. Her on-camera absence is puzzling. I may have analyzed this too much. lol You N E V E R analyze anything too much, you're just thorough, that's all.

I may have analyzed this too much. lol This can't be over-analyzed to me, we need to know why Lucy isn't on the Happy Birthday Hollywood show if she attended the festivities! As I recall besides the older actresses grouped together in similiar "old fashioned" lacy white dresses, Katharine Hepburn appeared in a separate segment and Loretta Young hosted the memorial reel (neither appeared with the other oldies in the great ladies segment). Hard to believe Lucy wouldn't be asked to do something separate as well given she was the small screen equivalent to Hepburn (I'm guessing Loretta got singled out to host a segment since she had just had a big hit Christmas tv movie) also extremely unlikely Lucy would have been a diva and walked off the show or refused her assigned segment so I am guessing she heard Hepburn was going to be there and simply decided to attend as a spectator. The real wonder is why she declined to appear since it's hard to believe she wasn't asked and she accepted tons of minor tv gigs on talk shows, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryCarter Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Those videos were great! They really need to re-upload the clip for the 1969 Costume Design presentation where Eleanor of Aquitaine and the Planet of the Apes apes Watusi.

I knew it was from that year as that was the dress Ingrid Bergman was wearing when she announced IT'S A TIE, the year Streisand and Hepburn won together.

HarryCarter Posted September 10, 2013 Report Share Posted September 10, 2013 Well, that was something. Burt Lancaster and Kirk Douglas did a similar number five years earlier.

Don't feel you have to spare my feelings. The thing that sucked about the Snow White Rob Lowe number was the annoying voice of Snow and the lack of singing skills of Lowe. If you recall, Lucy told him backstage she LOVED it. And so did I, for the actual stars included and celebrated in that number, not new people nobody ever heard of but actual BIG NAME stars who deserved their moment to shine once again.

Brock Posted September 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 worst number on the Oscars I ever had to sit through. Worse than this one? If this isn't the Academy pre-emptively and blatantly stating its position on the Mame to come, I don't know what is! Note Desi and Liza at 8.52. Desi was clearly onto Angie's smear campaign.

C L A U D E Posted September 12, 2013 Report Share Posted September 12, 2013 Must you torture me so? Do you HAVE to find every clip that old hag appeared in? The only clip I want to see of her is when she appears in the In Memoriam section. Might sound a bit harsh but she's just DEAD to me. On a lighter note, did you notice how much more casual the Oscars were back then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
