Some people simply make you feel good, whether in actual association or by their presence in a movie or television production. Donna Reed was one of those people.

Miss Reed grew up on a farm in Denison, Iowa with strong family ties there. Her Oscar is on display at a historical site there. Every year people come to Denison in June where a Scholarship & Festival exists in her honor, thanks be to the Donna Reed Foundation which her family created upon her wishes. A very friendly woman throughout her entire career who appreciated her fans and the general public. Her children, Penny, Tony , Mary and Tim and many friends and fans still miss her very much.

Donna Reed received unfair blame for the box office failure of "It's a Wonderful Life." Her performance in that picture - and the movie itself - are of course viewed much differently today. Winning an Academy Award for "From Here to Eternity" must have felt really good for her. The baby boom generation remembers her best as an "All American Mom" on her own television sitcom.
@hcombs01042 жыл бұрын
I hate to say it, but for James Stewart and Frank Capra, she was a convenient scapegoat because this was one of her first starring roles. Never mind the fact that Frank Capra's own career as director was slipping because his films no longer appealed to post-war moviegoers, or that James Stewart had lost his box office appeal and had to rebuild it. It was easier to blame the newbie.

Donna Reed was wonderful in "From Here To Eternity" and deserving of her Oscar, however, isn't it curious that neither Reed or Frank Sinatra, who won for the same film, expressed their thanks to Fred Zinnemann, the director who inspired these performances, or to Montgomery Clift, who worked with Sinatra to improve his acting skills and provided a perfect counterpoint to Reed? Without Clift's Prewitt, the film and its' supporting actors, doesn't rise to the same level of quality.

If you see the two part HBO special on Sinatra, he gave a lot of credit to Clift for helping him.

Not to take anything away from Donna Reed but she won this award (and deservedly so) for one reason: Montgomery Clift. Clift had a way of eliciting great performances from those actors he shared scenes with. This is a good example of that. Other examples: Sinatra in this movie, John Wayne in Red River, Elizabeth Taylor in Place in the Sun, Jennifer Jones in Indiscretion of an American Wife, Clark Gable in the Misfits, etc, etc, etc...
@TheChannelTV-bt8em8 жыл бұрын
+Lynn Turman Don't "take anything away" from Fred Zinnemann either, one of the best directors of actors. That also goes for Hawks, Stevens, and Huston all of whom worked on those films with the great Clift. Don't know who directed Indiscretion, not familiar with it.

I would have been hammering my head against the wall trying to decide between Donna and Thelma in Pickup on South Street. Ms Ritter's street peddler and informant was the best of her career. And Ms Reed's Lurene-Alma the "dance hostess" was also the best of hers. "You're a funny one." I just don't know. But gosh, Donna Reed sure was a knockout.

Just finished watching "From Here to Eternity" and saw "Pickup on South Street" yesterday on TCM. Donna Reed and the great Thelma Ritter both gave extraordinary performances. No winner could've been more over-the-top thrilled than Ms. Reed.
@slc24663 жыл бұрын
I think Donna nailed her last scene with Clift, one of the best in the movie, but Ritter also memorably hit probably the best scene in "South Street" out of the park- I'd go with Ritter, but Reed's against-type casting paid off with a vivid performance.

Nope, you were seated as you arrived. This has been discussed often and movie experts all said that's how it was back then. 7 years later things began to change and Actors were all moved up front but on the aisle in 1st 7-8 rows. Now it's all the way across for lead with supporting noms in 2nd rows along all aisles.
