ALWAYS A BRIDESMAID...
Peter O'Toole receives the first of seven un-Awarded Best Actor nominations. He received an Honorary Award at the cermonies in 2003.
ROLE REVERSALS
· Sam Spiegel couldn't get Marlon Brando for the title role in Lawrence of Arabia. (Brando was tied up with Mutiny on the Bounty.) Spiegel settled on a 29-year-old, blond, blue-eyed Irishman named Peter O'Toole.
· Anne Bancroft had starred in the Broadway hit Two for the Seesaw. Producers cast Shirley MacLaine in Bancroft's role for the film version.
· When UA approached the Miracle Worker creative team, it offered $5 million if they'd make it with Liz Taylor, $500,000 if they made it with Bancroft. They stuck with the woman who had played the role on Broadway.
· Peter Lawford turned down the role of the mama's boy Bette Davis hires as her musical director in What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?. The part went to screen newcomer Victor Buono.
· Allied Artists wanted Peter Ustinov to use Warren Beatty, Dean Stockwell or Anthony Perkins in the title role in his adaptation of Billy Budd. Ustinov convinced them to use a 23-year-old tyro from London named Terence Stamp.
UNMENTIONABLES
· Jack Warner told Robert Aldrich, "I wouldn't give you a dime for those two washed up bitches" [Bette Davis and Joan Crawford in Baby Jane?]. Aldrich produced the film independently and shot it in 21 days. It was, however, distributed by Warner Bros.
· Rumors of a Davis-Crawford war abounded, but Aldrich assured reporters that his two stars "didn't fight at all."
· Davis ran an ad in Daily Variety a month before Baby Jane opened: "SITUATION WANTED, WOMAN ARTIST - Mother of three - 10, ll, & 15 - divorcee, American. Thirty years experience as an acress in motion pictures. Mobile and more affable than rumor would have it. Wants steady employment in Hollywood (has had Broadway). Bette Davis, c/o Martin Brown, G.A.C. References upon request." The gag was the talk of Hollywood.
· Baby Jane opened and surprised the studios by becoming a huge hit.
· 20th Century Fox was experiencing its lowest ebb since the Depression. Costs on Cleopatra: $20 million and climbing. The studio, impressed with David O. Selznick's The Longest Day, kicked studio head Spyros Skouras upstairs, and brought Selznick back as head of production. He fired everybody on the Fox lot except the group working on the "Dobbie Gillis" TV show. The Longest Day pulled Fox out of the red.
· MGM was not so lucky. Its bloated remake of Mutiny on the Bounty, shot on location in Tahiti, suffered from weather and actor problems. Marlon Brando defied the director and kept impulsively revising his portrayal of Fletcher Christian. It took 13 months, $20 million and three directors (Carol Reed, Lewis Milestone and George Seaton) to finish the film. The 3-hour movie bombed when it opened.
· Sam Spiegel and David Lean - the team that had brought Bridge on the River Kwai to the screen - had spent 3 years and $15 million in the deserts of Saudi Arabia to tell the life story of British adventurer T.E. Lawrence.
· Gregory Peck stated, "I can honestly say that in 20 years of making movies, I never had a part that came close to being the real me until Atticus Finch." Peck had felt so strongly about the part that he'd originally tried to buy the film rights to Harper Lee's book, To Kill a Mockingbird. Universal publicized that after Peck played a 9-minute courtroom scene in one take, the actors playing jurors broke into applause.
· Best Picture nominees The Music Man, The Longest Day and Mutiny on the Bounty were completely shut out of the Directing, Writing and Acting categories.
· Patty Duke brought her pet chihuahua to Awards night in a bowling bag, which she checked during the ceremony.
· Presenter Bette Davis had trouble pronouncing the names of the three Writing nominees for Divorce - Italian Style. When they won, she announced the winners as "those three difficult Italian names".
· Back in New York after the ceremonies, Shirley Knight - who had lost for Supporting Actress for the 2nd year in a row - told a reporter: "Hollywood... that's where they give Academy Awards to Charlton Heston for acting."
