UNMENTIONABLES
· The studios pulled out funding for the Awards, and the Academy was forced to foot the bill for the Big Night.
· Thanks to union efforts, Academy membership dropped from more than 600 to 40.
· Bette Davis insisted that she was the one who first dubbed the Academy Award "Oscar" in honor of her first husband, Harmon Oscar Nelson. Their marriage was a disaster. She thought he might be gay and carried on affairs with Howard Hughes and the the great love of her life, director William Wyler. Nelson tried to blackmail Hughes with tape recordings of his sexual liaisons with Davis.
· "Bette Davis is an egotistical bitch," said Barbara Stanwyck.
