Three Little Pics: Joan stole the show!


This Sunday is the night of the Oscars. This weekend I'm going to write a little about the Oscars and the special stories connected with them. For the opening story, I picked out three images from 1946 where the show was stolen by actress Joan Crawford who accepted her award in bed.

In 1946, Joan Crawford was nominated for an Academy Award with the film Mildred Pierce. Joan Crawford was so afraid of not getting the award that she faked a strong cold and let her be taken to the hospital. But she did send her hairdresser and makeup artist to the gala as spies so that they would let her know if she won or not. And Crawford won! What did it mean? The Oscar was sent to the actress at the hospital, where she accepted the praise with perfect hair, makeup... and an evening gown from the bed. Joan stole the show with that and there wasn't a publication that didn't print Joan in bed on the front page the next day. It seemed as if she was the only one to receive the golden man. Here are three historic images. I also threw in the trailer for the film.


Juba pühapäeva ööl jagatakse Oscareid. Sel nädalavahetusel kirjutan sulle pisut Oscaritest, nende ajaloost ja kostüümidest. Avalooks valisin kolm kaadrit aastast 1946, kus kogu show varastas näitleja Joan Crawford, kes võttis Oscari vastu voodis.

Aastal 1946 oli Joan Crawford nomineeritud Oscarile filmiga "Mildred Pierce". Joan Crawford kartis Oscarist sedavõrd ilma jääda, et teeskles tugevat külmetust ja lasi end haiglasse viia. Küll aga saatis ta galale nii oma juuksuri kui ka meigikunstniku, et need annaksid teada, kas ta võidab või mitte. Ja Crawford võitis! Mida see tähendas? Koheselt saadeti Oscar näitlejatarile haiglasse ja perfektse soengu, grimmi ning... õhtukleidiga voodis olev staar võttis tunnustuse vastu. Joan varastas sellega Oscari gala show ja järgmisel päeval polnud väljaannet, mille esikaanel poleks Crawford voodis poseerinud. Jäi mulje, nagu tema oleks olnud ainus, kes galalt kuldmehikese noppis. Siin on kolm ajaloolist kaadrit. Lisasin sulle ka filmi treileri.
