Should have won the Oscar for best picture and actress 1972
My dad loved this movie. I can’t wait to watch it today. RIP pops
Who won that year? Was it Cher from moonstruck? Whomever no one should have beat Ms Ross
@@gwen8859 Liza Minneli for Cabaret
@ I still think Ross was the best the way she portrayed Holiday when she shot up and had Jones’s in the bathroom so many other scenes even as little girl. Wow. And then my fu#*king roommate stole my album. Yes I’m talking 73, I got the album in72 when they stole it. Stole a lot of my LPs and I was too stupid to realize for long time
yeah It was a HARD year at The Oscars that year with Liza wearing out her role in Cabaret nailing that Bob Fosse Choreography. ROSS was excellent her first time acting for sure!!!!!!
