Lana Turner knew how to make an entrance.

Oscar Winner but he never got a dinner.

Red Buttons needed a minute to get his breath!

Lana and Red were so cute!

As with Sinatra, winning the Oscar changed Buttons' career. He came to be known as a dramatic actor, as well as a comedian and he performed admirably in Pollock's They Shoot Horses, Don't They and The Longest Day. Both Red and James Garner, who was featured in Sayonara, credited Marlon Brando with easing their transition into dramatic films.

When stars were stars and dressed like stars.

We need to get back to that today is too casual.

Another great Oscar Moment. Red was great man. Many comics offscreen are very dour. Not Red. I saw him in an interview once where he said he really wanted to win this for one reason. He said "I wanted to kiss Lana Turner!!"

WOW , when the presenter robs the show , Lana Turner was always Lana Turner , and did it better than anyone else ! - God bless Red Buttons , Lana Turner , Jimmy Stewart , Janet Leigh and Don Murray - I love them all !

So true! Red Buttons was great in this movie and deserved the Oscar! I loved everybody in this movie.

Probably worth it just to get a kiss 😘 from Lana Turner. 😊

Hollywood trivia: Lana Turner was asked not to bring her mobster boyfriend Johnny Stampanato to this show. That led to the wild fight between the two on good friday after the show and Turner’s daughter Cheryl Crane stabbing the mobster to death as she feared for her mother’s life.

He always played every role soooo good.

You couldn't be more right. Lana Turner was a great star, the natural successor to Joan Crawford (who was also a better actress). She was a modestly talented actress but the camera loved her and for 20 years (1940-1960) she was at the top.

And across the aisle from Red--in jet black hair-- is the great Carolyn Jones (nominated that year) and her then husband Aaron Spelling.

Lana Turner was such a beauty and super cute and hot! Amazing :)

James Stewart. Jimmy. Janet Leigh. Lana Turner. Red Bottom. Arthur Kennedy. .....

I always loved the movie and can't wait to see it again as I didn't know he won, as did the lady who turned out to be the 1st Asian to win also. That was a great pick that year. Now I'll play the Red Buttons song, "Strange Things Are Happening" because the class in Oscars Oscars don't happen like this.

Wow, Lana Turner, a goddess.

WAY back when Hollywood had class and talent

Love those old time stage names - Red Buttons!

Janet Leigh, yowza!

True about Lana. Later that night a jealous & drunk Johnny Stompanato beat the $#!+ out of her for not bringing him with her. The whole thing ended a week or so later on Good Friday. The circumstances of which are still murky seven decades later.

True story, about 20 years ago, I stayed in an old hotel (The Del Capri) on Wilshire blvd. in Westwood, California and all kinds of strange things were going on in my room like lights flickering on and off and strange noises. I went to the front desk and mentioned the strange happenings and the clerk informed me that the room was formerly rented to Johnny Stompanato and that he was living there at the time he was killed. They smiled and looked at me like they had the inside joke. They had no doubt as to the authenticity of my stories. I definitely felt his presence in that room! : )

Lana is the greatest of the movie stars.

Boy Janet Leigh was gorgeous.

Can anyone see whose hand he’s grabbing at 2:03 on his way up to the stage? He was so nervous, I love how he said he was “ grateful”, then “thankful”, in between breaths!

Stewart is a geniuus

Even though 'Col. Saito' was a one demensional caricature Sessue Hayakawa gave him an evil sort of stature, & I would've loved it if he had won

Lana Turner who portrayed Constance MacKenzie in the Peyton Place movie filled in for Dorothy Malone who portrayed the same character in the Peyton Place TV Series

First of all, so called "Red Buttons", wasn't his real name. There was nothing wrong with his actual birth name, Aaron Chwatt. he obviously "sold out" his birth name because of the shallowness of the entertainment industry?! Most likely the change was made as the result of a greedy Business Manager, with perceived notions of greater recognition accompanied with monetary gains? In reality, it's also shows blatant disrespect for one's parents & their family heritage, just to possibly obtain (not earn) a greater buck?!

@INTERNETWORK She was a gifted PR woman who utilized all the groomings of the "contract" era. They used her and she used them! She was one of the few stars who spoke fondly of the contract era in Hollywood.

Lana Turner was a typical Hollywood's product. A too-much artificial bleach blonde. She could've make a much better dark hair lady. Actually, artificial in all senses, her personality (excess of hysteria), her totally unnatural and talentless acting, among others.
