Jessica Tandy, de oudste winnares toen.
Marlee Matlin, de jongste winnares ooit en doof, historisch.
Sally Field: 'You like me, right now, you like me!'
Meryl Streep in Sophie's Choice, die keuze-scène...
Cher in Moonstruck, 'Snap out of it!'
Shirley MacLaine in Terms of Endearment, prachtig.
Geraldine Page won eindelijk na acht nominaties.
Katharine Hepburn won haar vierde Oscar, record.
Jodie Foster in The Accused, heftig.
