This segment was part of the original Night of 100 Stars in 1982. James Cagney and Bette Davis brought down the house when they came out at the end. Quite a moment. Apologize for the poor quality, this was uploaded from an old VHS tape.
You could really tell that he was genuinely grateful and moved by their thunderous cheering. You could feel the affection in their applause, they really loved him.
I was 23 years old when this aired and recorded it on my New VCR. There were so many major movie stars then and compared to what we have now life is boring
Aww, this is terrific! Thank you for uploading this!! Lillian Gish was my favorite! Better to be able to watch it from a VHS copy than nothing at all! :)
@@TheTerryE - wow, you really dislike Betty. I'm sure that whatever she did to you wasn't that bad, considering the fact that she doesn't know your heateful arse.
If I remember correctly, both Davis and Cagney were returning after significant absences due to health issues. I think this added to the emotion of both the actors and the audience reception. I remember watching this back when I was in middle school. Thanks so much for posting it!
Nope, this was in 1982 , a year before Bette Davis had her strokes and mastectomy. You'll notice that she still looked healthy and vibrant in the clip. Audiences always went wild over her.
Wow, I am completely dumbfounded by this. I clearly taped this live back in 1982. Of course, I live in Canada, and it was probably our local affiliates did some cuts to allow more commercials. I always wondered why James Stewart had so many clips but not Davis and Cagney even though they were all equals. Thanks for this revelation.
Eight years later...the full show is on youtube, so here's the entire sequence, in the 2nd half of this clip: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VkgaJobbIPg.html
...There are precious few stars left, or actors/actresses with star quality. This is especially true of those born after 1960. ...Yes, this statement reflects the fact that I'm old (mid-40's), and remember the pre-internet world of some level of decorum.
Hace 40 años aún estaban vivas todas estas leyendas: James Stewart, Bette Davis, Gregory Peck, Paul Newman, Lilian Gish, James Cagney, Myrna Loy, Gene Kelly, Ginger Rogers. Gracias por darlo todo al cine, gracias por ser parte de nuestras vidas, de dedicarse a lo que tanto amaron y enseñarnos a amar al séptimo arte con sus magistrales interpretaciones que son parte de la Historia del Cine.
Oh, I wouldn't dare. This was in fact the entire clip when it first aired. At that time I also wished they could add more clips, like Jazabel for Davis, and Angels with Dirty Faces for Cagney.
biographer richard schickel once opined, wisely that the "tough guy" tagg Cagney is associated with is something of a misnomer. the man's grace and gentle manner was always there for those who see pass the crude gangster archetype. love all the people honored here, but Cagney makes the heart beat faster. so poignant.
I wish us ladies went back to wearing classy dresses like they did, real fashion, instead of being half naked, make em wonder whats under there, dont give it away so easy lol
As many in these comments have said, there was definitely something "other" or magical, unexplainable that made these people Stars with a capital S. The stars from the silents through to the 80s were definitely stars, as opposed to the personalities who just make movies today. There's a definite difference between them. Whatever they had, a lot of actors these days don't. There are some good actors today, but they're not the same. I don't know how time will judge today's celebrities, if they'll be as revered and beloved as the old stars.

Sorry, but Jezebel was in fact included, along with 4-5 other clips for Davis (Dark Victory, Now Voyager, etc), and Cagney's sequence featured clips from Ragtime and Mister Roberts, among others. I taped it back in '82 and know it by heart. Plus someone else posted it (the washed out copy) here on youtube, under the title: "Night of 100 Stars 1982 Salute to the Great Screen Legends".
@@maya8443 It's so clear that Cagney got the largest applause, they actually stood for him. Proceeding to cheer the house down, he was probably one of the only stars from old Holywood with better acting chops and more star power than Davis in their prime.
Many people here debated about who got the most applause and/or accolades. Just listen to the cheers as Katharine Hepburn steps out, there's no further debate needed. There's Stars, and then there are Legends!!!
Your missing for screen legends in night of 100 stars (1982 version ) Are Kirk Douglas Sidney pointier Cary Grant Yul brynner Charlton Heston Greer Garson
Not very bright are you? This is obviously only one sequence with only 7 stars. Here's a clip of the first half of the show: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-VkgaJobbIPg.html
