News and recap
The most memorable event of the night was when Stan Berman, a New York City cabdriver, awarded Bob Hope a homemade Oscar after he had slipped through security and made his way to the stage.[2] Among the many dresses worn that night, Joan Crawford wore a spaghetti strap gown with jewels she had worn at an earlier appearance at the Oscars.[3] Shirley Jones wore a strapless gown covered by ornate fabric.[4] Shirley Knight's gown used a sheer overlay to create the illusion of two layers of fabric. [5] Debbie Reynolds's black and white gown was inspired by an envelope.[6]Notable quotes
- "Ladies and gentlemen, I'm the world's greatest gatecrasher, and I just came here to present Bob Hope with his 1938 trophy." -- Stan Berman, a Brooklyn cabdriver.
- "We'll give it to him." -- Shelley Winters, in response to Berman. She had been onstage awarding the Academy Award for Best Cinematography with Vince Edwards.
- "Who needs Price Waterhouse? All we need is a doorman" -- Bob Hope, about the incident. [7]
