Estelle Parsons winning Best Supporting Actress

[@playinthedark3054]

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.

[@slavvalb3933]

Estelle Parsons. An incredible access. So funny and charming. She is a riot 😂😆

[@sandidennis1622]

Estelle Parsons was spellbinding in this film. What a year for supporting actress performances! Each nominee deserved to win. I particularly loved Mildred Natwick’s performance in Barefoot in the Park .

[@strothermartin5368]

Back when award shows had CLASS!

[@marlinfrank5837]

She looks fabulous in that simple black gown!! 🖤

[@Autostade67]

Every so often a category is blessed with a surplus of talent such that all the nominees are deeply worthy of a win. This was such a year in the Supporting Actress category.

[@65wiseman]

Katharine Ross was so beautiful.

[@breezingby2611]

It surprises me that Katharine Ross wasn’t a bigger deal than she is. She was exceptionally talented and beautiful, you’d think Hollywood would be all over her

[@akrenwinkle]

@@breezingby2611 It happens. And the opposite happens too... the oddball success.

[@taylorcrouse668]

Mrs. Sam Elliott.

[@jeffwalsh6015]

I love the late '60s awards show. People were loosening up but still formal.

[@johnperrigo6474]

And she didn't have to hug 10 people before she got to the stage.

[@onoalerr]

Blanche was tremendously annoying and Miss Parsons palyed it so amazingly well her scenes were a joy

[@WakandaBabe]

Beah Richards' speech to Spencer Tracy was phenomenal. Fine actress and dignity personified.

[@jeffreymccormick3578]

Her final scene in that movie is what won her this. It’s heartbreaking.

[@kdohertygizbur]

I agree

[@basilmarasco1975]

"Buck said we were only going for a visit. And there wouldn't be any trouble."

[@NellyHanky11]

I totally agree. I'm watching it again now on TCM. She's absolutely phenomenal and heartbreaking after she loses Buck; blows me out of the water each time I see her performance - well deserved.

[@bigfatw0rld243]

I wasn’t too sure what was made of Estelle Parsons after Roseanne’s first leg had finished. It is of an immense relief and great joy to see her reprise the role of Roseanne’s mom the second time around, and at its fullest capacity (I just found out that she’s 90 years old)! God bless you, Estelle!

[@mirtikaschultz3282]

She's been an amazing actress on stage and screen.

[@ddivincenzo1194]

96 years and still going!!!!

[@rocknrolladan]

Katherine Ross was really gprgeous

[@moviesgalore9947]

She should have won her performance was by far the best of the group. She made The Graduate better than it would have been with another actress in that part.

[@enriquebonifacino9939]

Absolutely.

[@Hollywoodsteve]

I just want her to say "Oh, Roseanne!!!!!"

[@aleciabjorlie3103]

Estelle Parsons looked so lovely accepting the award. for best supporting actress. She did an outstanding job playing Blanche Barrrow.

[@pudgeuncle]

Parsons...a monumental talent. Well deserved for a great performance.

[@Sunrise6410]

It was wonderful watching this clip! Bonnie and Clyde is one of my favorite films of all time.

[@lenwelch2195]

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

[@TheChannelTV-bt8em]

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.

[@tonym994]

yeah, that visual assault on her eyes, as he comes out in his underwear, is priceless. but the scene in the clearing where Buck is dying, nailed this award for her. she absolutely loses it.

[@gregwatson8219]

Great win

[@johnyzero2000]

God such a great list of nominees Estelle, Carol, Katherine, Beah and Mildred my god how can you choose?

I’ll always remember her in Bonnie and Clyde her running down the street holding a spatula screaming after the gun battle then jumping into the car. Then still inside the car still screaming and still holding that spatula. So funny.

[@jabjab4434]

Ohh thank you Doug for that remembrance and belly laugh. Grateful

[@nursegrace7492]

That's a fab acceptance speech. She's happy and articulate...and has a compelling personality.

[@orgami100]

Katharine Juliet Ross .. what a beauty.

[@stumack9755]

Warren too.

[@55hivealive3]

I love Estelle's simple black dress, can't go wrong with those

[@anamariaaninha]

1:50 Faye and Warren happy with her victory

[@outinsider]

I had the pleasure of meeting Estelle Parsons at a master acting class when she was touring with August: Osage County and she told us that she only took the role because she was working with Arthur Penn on a play and enjoyed it so much she thought she would work with him on this film. What a lucky whim.

[@JerseySurvivor]

Great clip. ALL of the women look smashing! Look over Walter's left shoulder as he descends the stairs. Standing ever so still is Sergio Mendes who was preparing to perform The Look of Love. EP was sitting with Warren Beatty & Julie Christie (in a long skirt as opposed to the mini the year before. Can you post Paul Scofield's win?). That's Faye Dunaway & Jerry Schatzberg in front of her and Faye and Gene Hackman behind her. Rod Steiger & Claire Bloom are across the aisle.

[@fatima1009]

Loved her as Rosanne's mother

[@TheChannelTV-bt8em]

I also loved the great Mildred Natwick who stole every scene in Barefoot in the Park. "The pellet with the poison is in the chalice from the palace, the vessel with the pestle has the brew that is true." Wait. Or is it the other way around?

[@aleciabjorlie3103]

[@gman2010ification]

That Walter Matthau must be beloved of the Academy--he has presented more than anybody.

[@jl3322]

Never really understood his appeal other than in Bad News Bears which he probably considers a low point of his career

Too bad if Roseanne is what she is remembered for. An entertaining and poignant actress. Warren Beatty was a beauty whose high living days caught up with him. Lucky to have met the gorgeous Annette Benning. Wish Mildred Natwick would have won jus because.

Not only did she play Roseanne's mom but 2 time Oscar winner Shelley Winters played HER mother and Roseanne's grandmother.

Perfect teeth. I always wonder at what point in their careers do actors acquire a good set of them.

I have seen Bonnie and Clyde at least 100 times and each time Estelle Parson's performance still amazes me! Although the real Blanche Barrow criticized her characterization in the movie, Estelle's acting was nothing short of amazing. One of my all time favorite movies and performances. The rest of the cast ... "got robbed" that night!

[@susancarter2365]

Love Estelle! ❤️❤️

[@mirtikaschultz3282]

At 1:49, Estelle's costars in B&C, and a cluster of Oscar luminaries with their own statuettes. Julie Christie (then with Beatty, won Best Actress award for DARLING), Warren Beatty won for Best Director, Faye Dunaway (for NETWORK). So fresh in the face there. Time flies.

[@dannydougin3925]

Thankfully everything is subjective...

[@tonym994]

he's deceptively good in that film. in fact, there isn't a weak performance in it. he had to produce it, and put up w/ Jack Warner, while giving an understated, underrated effort. Warner: "do you see whose name is on that water tower out there?" Beatty:"well,..it's my initials". if that story weren't true, you'd have to make it up. WB's was convinced it'd do no box office, while Beatty had such confidence in the project, he waived a salary, in favor of a share in the(eventually enormous) profits .they laughed at him, and he laffed all the way to the bank. no pun.

[@paint9er]

I just finished reading Mark Harris's "Pictures at a Revolution." I find it absolutely essential reading to whoever comes across this video, because you're likely a film buff and Oscar lover too. Parsons has some good lines in the book, especially how she was initially ashamed when "B&C" was released.

[@patriciamartinez5836]

Loved her in that movie. I was 13 when it came out
