CANDICE BERGEN:
I think I should explain that "Limelight" was made twenty years ago but has not been released in this country until this year. And from one of the warmest, most wonderful men I have met, thank you very much from Charlie Chaplin.
LINDA RUSSELL MORGAN:
On behalf of my late father Larry Russell and my brothers George, Gary and Gordon Russell, I want to thank the Academy very much.
PAUL RASCH:
On behalf of my dad, I'd like to thank the Academy. He always wanted to write something that would be remembered after he was gone, and he did it. Thank you very much.
