The year was 1963. John F Kennedy was still president, a gallon of milk cost you 49 cents and the Oscars were a slightly smaller affair. Albeit, hosted by Frank Sinatra.
Joan Crawford swept up on stage to rapturous applause to accept the Best Actress Oscar. Wearing a baby pink, low-back gown covered in chandelier-style jewels, she beamed down at the faces of her fellow Hollywood stars as she approached the lectern.
Listen: The story behind Hollywood’s biggest feud.
Bette Davis, her co-star in that year’s box office hit What Ever Happened To Baby Jane, watched on from the audience, no hint of a smile on her face.
It should have been her on that stage, not Crawford.
