@libearian i was thinking the same, im a huge Bette Davis fan, i bet her face was a picture lol i read that she just froze in shock she was so certain she would get it, she deserved to get it imo, she would have been the first actress to get 3 oscars up to this point!

Bette Davis should have won for What ever happened to Baby Jane....she was going to win but joan crawford pulled a few strings so that anne bancroft could win..and when they announced that anne won, Joan tapped betty and goes "excuse me, I have an oscar to accept".....Blagh..i hate joan crawford

@theblueangel28 It does bother me Hepburn's work isn't mentioned much when bringing up the 1962 Best Actress Oscar race (usually the talk centers around Bancroft and Davis). I agree Hepburn is incredible in "Long Day's" and it's one of the top dramatic performances ever. Hepburn probably deserves at least the four Oscars she won, but I don't think she got them all for the right movies.

Wow! Joan looks stunning. A true star! In 1945 she was sick (with nerves?) and didn't attend when she won for Mildred Pierce, but she ain't nervous here...ummm...happen because she knew she had a good chance of 'accepting' an Oscar in person when Miss Davis's name wasn't called. Clever Joan.

@FallingRedRose Don't you just wish you could have seen Bette's face when she heard Anne Bancroft had won?
-
@moonspinner55 Yes, it was used in "The Miracle Worker".
-
@Marketoromagnolo the other reason Joan accepted the award was because Joan was campaigning against Bette Davis for the Oscar and asked to accept the Oscar to spite Davis.
