Best Supporting Actress Oscar (1974)...

...went to Ingrid Bergman for, "Murder on the Orient Express." She thought that the award should go to Valentina Cortese for, "La Nuit américaine." Ingrid apologized in her speech because she truly believed Valentina should have been awarded for her work. She concluded with, "Please forgive me, Valentina. I didn't mean to."

I've only seen Valentina in one film, "The Assasination of Trotsky." It stars Alain Delon and Richard Burton, with Romy Schneider. I was very taken with Valentina.

"I've gone from saint to whore and back to saint again, all in one lifetime." (Oh, that Ingrid!)


Currently watching: The Assassination of Trotsky
