Foreign Film: Pixote (Brazil), Diva (Spain)
UNMENTIONABLES
· Despite it good reviews, Atlantic City was exhibited in only a handful of cities.
· By the end of the year, Raiders of the Lost Ark was #4 on the all-time box-office champ list, behind Star Wars, Jaws and The Empire Strikes Back -- all of which happened to be George Lucas or Steven Spielberg enterprises.
· Arthur was the year's biggest comedy hit, making $42 million domestically. The movie's theme song, sung by Christopher Cross, also went gold.
· Only When I Laugh was a rewrite of Neil Simon's 1970 stage play, The Gingerbread Lady. Simon cast his wife Marsha Mason as the alcoholic actress.
· Joan Crawford once said, "Of all the actresses today, to me, only Faye Dunaway has the talent and the class and the courage it takes to make a real star." Crawford did not live to see Dunaway tackle her most challenging role -- Joan Crawford in Mommie Dearest.
· Chariots of Fire, a tale of two British runners who race in the 1924 Olympics for reasons other than the glory of England, became the highest- grossing imported film in the US to date.
· Dino de Laurentiis purchased the rights to E.L. Doctorow's historical novel Ragtime in 1975 as a vehicle for Robert Altman. When Altman and de Laurentiis had a falling out later, the producer took the film rights to Milos Forman. Forman was able to coax his neighbor James Cagney out of a 20-year retirement to play the NYC police commissioner, and then got Norman Mailer to play the assassinated architect Stanford White.
· Paramount worried about recouping its $35 million investment in Warren Beatty's latest project, Reds, dubbed "Commie Dearest" by Paul Morrison. Beatty worked himself into a state of physical exhaustion finishing the film and had to drop out of promoting the picture. Critically acclaimed, Reds did middling business when it opened at Christmas and Paramount realized that the film would have be a big winner at the Academy Awards if it was to break even.
· Katharine Hepburn and Henry Fonda had never met before they started working on On Golden Pond. They quickly formed a mutual admiration society, praising each other's screen acting abilities in the press. Jane Fonda's present to her dad turned into the year's sleeper hit, earning over $60 million in domestic rentals.
· The Polish government requested that the Academy withdraw Man of Iron -- a strong pro-Solidarity propaganda film -- as its Foreign Language Film entry. The Academy stood by its choice, and Man of Iron remained the official Polish entry.
· When the nominations were announced, Paramount led all studios with 33 noms, including three for Best Picture.
· When John Belushi, scheduled to present the Visual Effects Award with Dan Aykroyd, died from a drug overdose a few weeks before the ceremony, show producer Howard W. Koch made Aykroyd pledge that he wouldn't mention his deceased friend on the show.
· Alice Faye showed up for a rehearsal for a musical tribute to Harry Warren, but when she found out that she would have to sing her big number, "You'll Never Know," with Gregory Hines and Debbie Allen, she and her husband Phil Harris left the rehearsal and returned to Palm Springs.
· Before performing a medley of the nominated musical scores, Liberace told the audience, "I've done my part for motion pictures; I've stopped making them."
· Barbara Stanwyck received the evening's only standing ovation as she walked out to accept her Honorary Oscar®. With tears in her eyes, she paid tribute to the late William Holden.
· At 59, Maureen Stapleton was the youngest of the evening's Acting Award winners.
· Best Actor Henry Fonda died on August 12, 1982, 4½ months after receiving his Award.
