Channing,
My friend worked as a coordinator for the awards for a few years in
the late 1990s... i asked her about this sequence and if it would
continue.. she said that part of the problem was where some folks
might be living, health issues and getting them here to LA, for this
brief time on stage.. still if they are willing and want to attend, i
think it should become a regular segment, if at all possible.

I agree. A lot of these people are still alive and well. I was
fortunate to actually attend the Oscars the year Titanic won and
they were all on stage and as the curtain opened, it was a truly
awesome experience to see them!

It is a shame. too, that the Academy did not continue with the
segment they did, maybe one time, about 10 years ago, when they
took 15 minutes, opened the curtain, and there, onstage, were many
of the stars from yesteryear, including people like olivia
dehavilland, shirley temple, mickey rooney, and luise rainer. For
those stars that are still able, physically, I think it a great
way to pay tribute to them, as well as being able to see them
again, rather than just reading some obit in Variety, or any other
Entertainment section of one's local newspaper.
