I was in the stands that night as the stars walked the red carpet. My high school was 10 minutes away from the Dorothy Chandler Pavilion and as soon as school was over I took off to get a good seat. I'll never forget the stars I saw that night, especially Joan Crawford looking regal and radiant! What a great memory!

Amazing clip. That brief bit by Ron Moody and Jack Wild is the most charming open I've ever seen for the Oscars. I suspect some of the audience non-response to Sinatra could be his public divorce from Mia Farrow during the filming of Rosemary's Baby because she wouldn't quit to work on his film. And he was probably seen as a square in the height of the hippie era. What a time capsule.
