Posted: 6/11/06 at 11:59pmThey should do the same with Carol Channing whose Oscar and Tonys were stolen.
"The Spectacle has, indeed, an emotional attraction of its own, but, of all the parts, it is the least artistic, and connected least with the art of poetry. For the power of Tragedy, we may be sure, is felt even apart from representation and actors. Besides, the production of spectacular effects depends more on the art of the stage machinist than on that of the poet."

"We don't value the lily less for not being made of flint and built to last. Life's bounty is in it's flow, later is too late. Where is the song when it's been sung, the dance when it's been danced? It's only we humans who want to own the future too."

Posted: 6/12/06 at 12:09amThe AMPAS don't give replacement Oscars. It's some long standing rule. Even if it was stolen they don't do it. That's why Emma Thompson hid her Oscar covered in a pair of socks inside her purse when she flew back to the UK after winning. Security stopped her because they thought it was some sort of weapon (or an odd shaped vibrator she says) and treated it like the holy grail

Posted: 6/12/06 at 3:03amI remember reading Patty Duke's autobiography (CALL ME ANNA) in which she mentions that she damaged her Oscar (which she won for THE MIRACLE WORKER) when she had a row with a lover (John Astin?) and the Academy was nice enough to replace it. It's been so long since I read it, I could be wrong. Can anyone back me up?

Posted: 6/12/06 at 3:17amOn what planet does Carol Channing own an Oscar? Mars? Venus? Krypton?
