RANDOM TIDBITS
The oldest winner of a competitive Oscar was Jessica Tandy,
who was 80 when she took Best Actress for Driving Miss
Daisy in 1989. The oldest ever Best Actor was Henry Fonda
who was 76 when he won for On Golden Pond in 1981.
***
The first actor to receive an Oscar posthumously was Peter
Finch who died of a heart attack while leaving the Beverly
Hills Hotel to do a pre-Oscar ceremony TV interview with
Good Morning America. His wife picked up the Best Actor
award he won for 1976’s Network.
***
The Oscars are so nicknamed thanks to Margaret Herrick,
former librarian for the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And
Sciences, who commented that the statues looked like her
