    Estelle Parson was spectacular in B&C from start to finish, but the final scene contributed to this well-deserved win. Kudos, Estelle! You were part of the team that created one of the most astonishing films in American cinematic history.

    beach Richards was probably penalized for her short screen time in the movie but it took a great talent to deliver her lines - it became the backbone of Spencer’s speech at the end “ What happens to men when they get old......... they forget what true passion really is.... and what’s hard is that for your wife and me is that do you even remember it with us ....if you did you could not do what your about to do ...... those two people love each other ... need each other like the air to breathe ..... unbelievable reading

    I like the way she puts in a plug for her Broadway show which she escaped for one night to win her Oscar. Probably had to promise producer Merrick so he would let her go. As for the performance, it is surprisingly subtle considering how manic it is. Her first scene when she cringes at the sight of Michael J. Pollard is priceless. She was hysterical but conversely touching at certain spots within the film. Richly deserved.
