ROLE REVERSALS

· Peter Sellers replaced Peter Ustinov as the bumbling Inspector Clouseau in The Pink Panther.
· Jack Warner hired Audrey Hepburn to play Julie Andrews's Broadway role in My Fair Lady because "no one in the sticks had ever heard of her." Time magazine wrote: "Someone, somewhere, made the decision to include Andrews out of the movie... There is an evil and rampantly lunatic force at loose in the world and it must be destroyed."
· Burl Ives and Burt Lancaster turned down the title role in Zorba the Greek. Anthony Quinn said, "They said, 'Who cares about an old man making love to a broken-down old broad?'"

SINS OF OMISSION
Picture: The Servant, Goldfinger
Actor: Dirk Bogarde - The Servant
Actress: Audrey Hepburn - My Fair Lady, Bette Davis - Hush... Hush, Sweet Charlotte
Song: "Goldfinger," anything from A Hard Day's Night
ALWAYS A BRIDESMAID...
Agnes Moorehead receives her fourth un-Awarded Supporting Actress nomination.
UNMENTIONABLES
· All of Audrey Hepburn's songs used in My Fair Lady were dubbed by Marni Nixon. Hepburn sang live on takes of "...Loverly" and "Show Me" and her vocals were recorded. However, director George Cukor chose to use all the Nixon recordings in the film. When critics harped on the dubbing issue, Jack Warner was perplexed. "We've been doing this for years," he said. "We even dubbed Rin-Tin-Tin."
· Rex Harrison was dubbed "Sexy Rexy" by movie columnists, and it annoyed him that he couldn't make it go away.
· Harrison was blind in one eye as the result of a childhood illness.
· The soundtrack album of A Hard Day's Night was the biggest seller in the history of the recording industry.
· Goldfinger was the highest grossing single film of the year. Coproducer Harry Saltzman explained the secret of his success: "We've gone back to the bedrock of Hollywood - bosoms, blood and sand!"
· The story came out that Anthony Quinn -- then still married to C.B. DeMille's adopted daughter -- had fallen for a blonde wardrobe mistress while working on Barabbas in 1961. The couple had two sons.
· Last year's Best Actress Patricia Neal was scheduled to present the Best Actor Award. However, she suffered three strokes the week before the nominations were announced. Unnominated Audrey Hepburn agreed to sub for Neal.
· Jonathan Winters accepted the Supporting Actor Award for Peter Ustinov, who was in London directing Sophia Loren in Lady L. Winters quipped, "I don't know whether Peter expected this. I certainly didn't. Or I would have been sure to wear black socks."
· As Supporting Actress winner Lila Kedrova walked offstage, she told presenter Karl Malden, "I need a drink." Malden escorted her to Joan Crawford's dressing room.
· After the ceremonies, Peter O'Toole cabled his Becket co-star, "Burton, old buddy, you can't win 'em all."
· When Audrey Hepburn arrived home after the Awards, there was a telegram waiting for her from Katharine Hepburn. "Don't worry about not being nominated," advised the wire. "Someday you'll get it for a part that doesn't rate it."
