Thanks for this Hollywood trivia. I never new this story of Susan's Oscar night. I must have been behind the times. Do you have the book by Robert Osborne, stating this event that happened on stage. If you do, would it be possible for you to email it to me? I sure would love to have it. I've seen the You Tube of Cagney and Kim Novak announcing the winner...Susan Hayward and the orchestra plays the theme from I Want To Live! and Susan is rushing to the stage. A great moment for our Susan.

Yes Ray...I do have the book with that picture and also a picture of Susan wiping David Niven's forehead, backstage, as they stand together. She with her radiant smile as she wipes his brow!

But as far as sending these tings to you, I am not that internet savvy and would have no idea how to do this.

I can give you the info on the large hard cover book though...if it is still possible to get the book somewhere.

It is a large, oversize book with a big gold Oscar on the front. The title..."70 YEARS OF THE OSCAR-THE OFFICIAL HISTORY OF THE ACADEMY AWARDS" ROBERT OSBORNE

It goes from 1929 to 1998 with 'many' great pictures.

It is through....http://www.abbeville.com

Like I said...this is an oversize super heavy book that I bought in the '90's at Larry Edmund's Book Store on Hollywood Blvd..but I am told that shop is no longer there.

I hope this helps you find it. This info is taken from the back jacket of the book.

Thanks Errol for this information, I'll see what I can come up with. Take care and good to hear from you.

I beg to differ your version of events. I have seen the Youtube video of Susan's win and after her acceptance speech, she was escorted from the stage. After the applause was finished, Jerry requested that Susan be escorted back onto the stage for another round of applause and he asked the audience to wish Susan the very best. The applause was thunderous and Susan gave a beautifully graceful bow. Very touching video.
