PATTY DUKE Presents AL PACINO With Tony Award 1969

[thisherecat2]

My word- as tiny as Patty Duke!

[etrax2000]

what ws with the Belafont mixup, did he threaten not to show up

[NeelieLyn]

Interesting to note that Al was nominated with an actor named Richard Castellanos who went on to play Clemenza in The Godfather. 

[jsilence418]

Al didn't want to do this show BUT THEY KEEP PULLING HIM BACK IN !!!

[onetrashdancer]

@Almogrew One very old bitch he is LOL

[MiArSiOnNa]

oh, my GOD.....!!!!!

[111jer]

feels weird no one knowing him i bet he never fought that 3 years later , he would be known as one of biggest and greatest actors whos ever lived

[scarletbword]

is he chewing! the same!

[themillenia]

Hm, he probably had gum in his mouth. Idk. It's probably just me but have you noticed that he chews cute. If you watch some of his movies in his younger days, he has this chew, its so sexy. Yeah, I know that sounds so ridiculous and weird. What did you mean by "same!"?

[themillenia]

I know, isn't he. He's just a baby here.

[jboner229]

go Al pacino

[akapner]

ever hear the incredible story of how he got his first big break ever? Even before he was Equity? (theater actor's union for those who don't know...) He was living in the basement of a high school working as a janitor, the playwright Israel Horovitz saw him in a play in someone's living room and wanted him for his Off-Broadway play The Indian Wants the Bronx...he still had to audition though...needless to say, he blew them all away : - )

[stevolim]

he was living on the street two years before that

[leonh73]

We have to give Patty some love. She was gorgeous in this clip. I don't like the and she showed up remark.

[shnooger]

Actually, he said "HE showed up".

[GETOSUPASTAR]

diahann carroll looks absolutely stunning...my God she was (and still is) one of the most beautiful women i've ever seen!!!

[leonh73]

Hey I think she was in a weekly tv series and I agree with you. Truly a classy lady

[GETOSUPASTAR]

are you talking about "dynasty"? yes she did that in the 80's...and of course "julia" in the late 60's before that...she has a new series on the USA network starting in a few weeks called "White Collar"! (and yes DC is the definition of class, i love her!)

[ElMaruecan82]

And 5 years later, he was Michael Corleone in "The Godfather part II"...

[babybirl009]

hes so cute and little lol

[HovaNirvana]

This is amazing. Just before he would begin the legendary, unparalleled streak.

[Dauerficka]

awsome

[Newtamaki]

love al,hes awesome

[silvermoonredmoon]

Pacino is GOD

[Kinomanka]

+ 1000

[MsAnamariah]

Aww, he's so cute in this clip <3 Looks a little like James McAvoy, I think.. Only a little, though. ;p

[sergejisd]

what a strange coincidence ! he received the award by Patty Duke, star of the film in which he made his debut and released three months later

plus Richard Castellano, who played Clemenza, was also nominated in the same category

and Diane Keaton was also nominated that night!

[firmingitup]

I had no idea that Al Pacino won a Tony. Nor that he is so short. He is shorter than Patty Duke and she is pretty short.

[RealDefentertainment]

damn my hero!!

he have been doing it way before my mother even met my dad hence 19 years before i was born

[ozhyy]

he's sooo cuteeeee (L)

[BettyBoopBoots]

omfg i love al pacino <3

[JohnnyGNV]

HEY this is great to see ~ I guess PATTY DUKE sort of already knew Al Pacino since he had a small role in her movie out at the time,

"Me, Natalie". I didn't quite catch what was said by (Alan King?) about "showing up"?

[SonnyJug11]

Thanks for sharing! Unbelievable... that's Al Pacino before The Godfather... He had no idea what kind of genieus he'll be in a few years... Hmm... life's so unpredictable... That's why... never give up on your dreams guys... cause they can come true when u least expect it... (to all good people)

[effiebig]

He's so young! I could'nt recognise him!

[wggio]

I love the way he walks, so cool. :)

[wahlbergspride]

he had so much different voice back then.. lol he sounds so funny ;) But the way he walks is the same ;)

[mozmuse]

Also, THANK YOU SO MUCH for posting this, PattyDukeTheatre! :)

I really loved the Patty Duke show when I was little (reruns on Nick) and Sean Astin is great. ;) (I used to watch "White Water Summer" over and over and over and over!)

Thanks SO MUCH again, for posting!

[mozmuse]

If I loved him any more, I would die.

;)

LOVE YOU, AL!!!

[nenabunena]

WOW! He really hasn't changed much has he? Still charming yet very down to earth! 5/5!

[ADASINHO]

go get it al :)

[mozmuse]

I love him. Ahhhh. Sigh. :p

[AlexWriter]

WOW! Just WOW! This man is the real thing! LEGEND!

[kbeh09]

What a Terrific apperance by the amazingly talented, and devastatingly good looking Patty Duke

[randrall]

I could not have said it any better myself.

[SPMJ]

WOW! Talk about a rare clip. Thanks a lot.
