Bancrofts glee and Poitiers breathless speech says it all. Hollywood gold.
Bancroft was a beautiful and beautifully understated actress, with that less is more intelligence, and she was (endearingly) awful and painfully shy it seemed at giving interviews- as if she couldnt stand the fawning or understand what all the fuss was about. Maybe someone has a clip of her being interviewed by Terry Wogan who ended up pretty much asking and answering the questions himself. TV gold.

One of the most emotional wins, but Anne Bancroft looked like she was drunk or something at the time.

@JerseySurvivor
Anne Bancroft was gorgeous, and her reception of Poitier seemed so natural and unaffected, she was clearly thrilled for him to win. Great lady indeed, and two very talented thespians.
