Greta Garbo
Cut | Anna Christie | Warner File
At the point when Greta Garbo came to Hollywood from Sweden in 1925, English language abilities were not needed for fame. In any case, while many huge names of the quiet period flared out when "talkies" showed up, fans rushed to Anna Christie (1930) to hear assuming Garbo's voice would match her picture. What's more, they were not disheartened when she took a seat at a café table and said, "Gimme a bourbon, soda as an afterthought, and don't be parsimonious, child." She got a consolidated Institute Grant designation for that film and for Sentiment, delivered later that very year, as she would for three others, including the tragedy Camille (1936) and the parody Ninotchka (1939).Two years after the fact, Garbo resigned from acting without a success. In 1955, the Foundation perceived her with a Privileged Honor for "her extraordinary screen exhibitions." She didn't go to the function, however in opposition to fantasy, Garbo didn't turn into a loner. Nor did she at any point utter an expression broadly credited to her. As she discredited in a 1955 Life Magazine article, "I never said, 'I need to be distant from everyone else.' I just said, 'I need to be not to mention! There is all the difference."[1]

Kirk Douglas

Spartacus | Recalling Kirk Douglas | "I'm Spartacus!"
However never an Oscar champ in a vocation that traversed the greater part of his 103 years, Kirk Douglas brought his ability and unmistakable separated jawline to shifted characters. He got Lead Entertainer selections for playing a fighter (Champion, 1949), a deceitful film maker (The Terrible and the Wonderful, 1952), and Vincent van Gogh (Desire forever, 1956), yet shockingly not really for maybe his most renowned job in the legendary Spartacus (1960).In quest for his own material, Douglas optioned freedoms to the 1962 novel One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Home, yet when a studio could be persuaded to make the film, he had matured out of the lead, and the part went to Jack Nicholson. At the point when the film turned out to be simply the second to clear the main five Foundation classifications for 1975, Kirk's child Michael brought back home his most memorable Oscar as its maker, keeping everything in the family.In 1996, Kirk accepted his own Privileged Honor for "50 years as an imaginative and moral power in the movie local area."

An extraordinary honor for Most terrible Ability Evaluation goes to the studio subordinate who explored Fred Astaire's screen test and purportedly stated, "Can't act. Marginally bare. Can move a bit." Luckily, maker David O. Selznick recognized Astaire's on-screen beguile and matched him with Ginger Rogers in the Delores del Rio vehicle Flying Down to Rio (1933). Their single dance number would make stars of them both in the nine extra movies they made together, including Formal Hat (1935) and Will We Dance (1937).In 1950, Astaire got a Privileged Honor for "his special imaginativeness and his commitments to the procedure of melodic pictures." He kept on getting a charge out of film industry accomplishment as a performance act, frequently highlighting innovative movement like his dance on the roof in Imperial Wedding (1951).

At first, Hollywood didn't know very how to manage this Montana local, conceived Myrna Williams. During the winding down long stretches of the quiet period, Myrna Loy had a line of spot parts, playing a house keeper, slave young lady, or vamp, and she showed up as an uncredited melody young lady in the principal talkie, The Jazz Vocalist (1927). She at long last tracked down her depression as Nora Charles in The Slender Man (1934), a person she would repeat with costar William Powell multiple times throughout the following thirteen years.She proceeded to possess the job of brilliant, benevolent, however takes-no-guff spouse or old flame inverse the greatest driving men of her period.

William Powell
Cut HD | The Slim Man | Warner Document

An example of genuine greatness directly through to his last jobs as an admirer to Lauren Bacall in How to Wed a Tycoon (1953) and comrade to Henry Fonda in the WWII parody show Mr. Roberts (1955), he was regarded with a star on the Hollywood Stroll of Notoriety in 1960 yet never a statuette.[6]

Quality Kelly once said to describe himself, "Assuming Fred Astaire is the Cary Award of dance, I'm the Marlon Brando." Yet the two hoofers share the way that, in spite of their great film heritages, neither at any point won a Foundation Grant. In the wake of scoring a hit in the 1940 Broadway melodic Buddy Joey, Kelly came to Hollywood on a one-picture contract and never looked back.He got only a solitary Oscar selection for Best Entertainer in Anchors Aweigh (1945) despite the fact that he coordinated or potentially featured in the exemplary musicals On the Town (1949), An American in Paris (1951), and Singin' in the Downpour (1952).

Such a lot of ability, yet no serious Oscar to show for it.
