Truly a fantastic actor. He might not be well known today. But he deserved that award. He has an award they don't just hand out. RIP Walter. You were a hero to me. You're legacy will live on forever.

Walter and Shelley...two of my favorites! Back when the Oscars had class and was fun to watch. Before speeches went on for 5 minutes and politics took over.
Shelley Winters is lovely, what a great actress, as for Walter Matthau, he was a hell of an actor. His acceptance speech was as concise and brief as it gets, formidable. Thank you for posting.
Great to see Walter Matthau win his Best Supporting Actor Oscar for his work in "The Fortune Cookie" (1966). Matthau has great comic timing and you can't sit through his films without cracking a smile. He has quite an effect on people. RIP to the great Walter Matthau.
Matthau's performance in The Fortune Cookie was one of the best things that he ever did, approximately 50 years later. He was, of course, outstanding in The Odd Couple, and also did great work in A Face In The Crowd, A New Leaf, Charade, and a variety of other films.
Amazing job by Mr. Matthau. During production he suffered a serious heart attack and had to leave for quite some time. When he recovered, he had lost 30 lbs, had to wear heavy clothing to conceal it and still was able to complete the picture without missing a step.
Your right suffered a massive heart attack during filming of The Fortune Cookie and slimmed down from 190 to 160 pounds and his weight loss in film is noticeable from scene to scene. Filming had to be halted for weeks until Matthau recovered
Matthau was known for being a decent person. He never played the big Hollywood star. He was generally nice to cast on films he worked on. When people recognized him on the street he was very cordial.
He was not too pleased about working with Barbara Streisand in Hello Dolly. Because she played the Prima Donna. He was asked once, "What advice do you have for people who want to become Actors." His reply was, "Don't do it." He was then asked why he did it. He said, "It was the only way I could make a good living."
@@kevinhealey6540 Yes, true Kevin, I love Barbra, but the story (verified by several witnesses) is that one day (on the set of "Hello Dolly") Walter just exploded over what he saw as Streisand's unprofessionalism/selfishness/vanity. Those two never again worked together. No surprise! I did like the film in any event. Barbra never expressed any kind of true liking or praise for "Hello Dolly" - and rarely, if ever, mentioned her co-star Walter Matthau.
Also everyone who had seen Walter Matthau in the Fortune Cookie says his performance was a leading one. In best actor he would have been up against winner Paul Scofield in a Man for All Seasons or Richard Burton in Virginia Woolf so there is no way Matthau would have won there. But his role was a funny, well deserved win for Walter Matthau in the Fortune Cookie.
Walter was a brilliant actor who could play anything. He is terrific in comedies such as House Calls and Hopscotch where he is teamed with the great Glenda Jackson and the two really shines and the Chemistry between them are fantastic!
@@kevinwilson3609 YES STOP WITH YOUR RACE CARD YOU FORGOT THE AFRICAN AMERICAN WOMAN FOR THE GONE WITH THE WIND WON A OSCAR? THAT'S WHY YOU GUYS RUINED EVERYTHING WITH YOUR RACE CARD CRAP
Wonderful clip. John mills showed up in a similiar condition 4 years later when he won for supporting actor with his arm in a sling. Walter was one of THE best actors of the 20th century. So talented and charismatic!
I'm an admirer of Truman Capote's work but hadn't known Carol Matthau was the inspiration for Holly. Here on You Tube you can see the Barbara Walters interview with Walter Matthau that is partly the Carol Matthau interview. She was a fascinating woman with her characteristic face powder. Carol was asked what she liked to do. "I like to do...nothing", she said. Carol Matthau also said, "I don't like to have to do things. I don't like being on the dime". She was a charismatic woman who had once been Jayne Mansfield's stand-in on Broadway for the play, "Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?" Walter Matthau was in the play and met his future wife there in the theater. She was married twice to the author William Saroyan then had a lasting marriage to Walter Matthau.
Has to be one of the best Oscar speeches ever! But then, that mas Matthau: class all the way, and who could ever match that rubbery face. Loved him to pieces and still miss him!!
When Shelly said that Poor Walt "had a tough time..getting here"..she was wasn't kidding..Walter broke his arm..never the less..he was there to accept his only Oscar for his work in Billy Wilder's:"The Fortune Cookie".
Whiplash Willie Gingrich the shyster brother-in-law classically played by the incomparable Walter Matthau. As one of the other characters in the movie says, "He could find a loophole in the Ten Commandments." This was his first co-starring part with Jack Lemmon and from there it was on to screen immortality. R.I.P. Lemmon and Matthau.
I still think Richard Crenna should have been nominated as well. Captain Collins is an incredibly complex character. The great-and horrifying- sequence in The Sand Pebbles when Mako is being tortured to death is unforgettable. "What are they saying? " They are saying: "See what we do to the running dog.""One thousand dollars!" "Holman! Go below or I'll have you shot fo a mutineer!' "Somebody shot somebody!" They don't make them like they used to..
That was his wife Carol who had her own style like Gloria Vanderbilt. That White powdered face that was so popular in the 40's. That's Ernest Gold and Marni Nixon sitting across the aisle from the Matthaus.
He was brilliant in Fortune Cookie and really should have won for Best Actor but at least he got recognized for how great he was. His shyster lawyer is a classic comedy character so hilarious and clever he knew everything about injury law and did his job perfectly.
For his winning role, filming had to be interrupted as he had a major heart attack. Thank goodness they waited for him to recover and didn't replace him.
Walter Matthau richly deserved the Oscar for his portrayal of "Whiplash" Willie in Billy Wilder's "The Fortune Cookie". Wilder had wanted Matthau to be cast opposite Marilyn Monroe in his film adaptation of "The Seven Year Itch" but was vetoed by the studio. Curiously, Matthau had been known primarily as a dramatic actor in "Charade", "A Face In The Crowd" and "Fail Safe'"; after this film, and "The Odd Couple", he was recognized as a premier comedic actor. He worked with Wilder and Lemmon again
Matthau's was a lead performance; he should've been nominated in the lead category. This would've opened a fifth spot for the much-deserved Richard Attenborough in "The Sand Pepples" and the winner should've been George Segal in "Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf." Some years later, in 1975, George Burns would be placed in the Supporting category for "The Sunshine Boys" in which he costarred with Mathau and, despite his being a lead role, Burns would win also.
People mistake interest in their work with importance. There's much interest in entertainment but that overstates it's importance. This leads to overinflated egos, in my most humble opinion.
To me, it doesn't matter his role was leading or supporting. Walter Matthau's performance in "The Fortune Cookie" was so great that you HAVE to reward it. Without him, the film would not be half as good or as memorable. That's how great his performance was.
I believe he was in a motorcycle crash two days before. No one was sure he would show. And he was the only winner acting wise to be there. Hey how about posting Paul Scofield's win? He wasn't there but I remember a seeing a great pic of the Victorian Wendy Hiller accepting from a marvelous mini-skirted Julie Christie. A truly 60s moment!
That year, only 9 of the 20 nominees showed up for the acting awards. The following year, thanks to Academy President Gregory Peck, 18 of 19 living nominees made it (Spencer Tracy had passed away). Only Katherine Hepburn, who was in France filming "The Madwoman Of Chaillot" was not there.
I agree with the comment regarding the "supporting actor" category that Matthau was nominated in and won the Oscar for. Exactly who was Walter supporting in this Billy Wilder film? It was a lead performance; he had virtually all of the good dialogue and the best scenes in the movie. Parenthetically, Mike Nichols, who was seated next to Matthau, directed him in the stage production of Simon's The Odd Couple opposite Art Carney. Ironically, before that play, Matthau was primarily a dramatic actor.
Fordham1969 You bet, I think 1967 was the only time McQueen attended the Oscar’s (also his only nomination) He was supposed to present Best Picture in 1976 but was sick and Liz Taylor filled in for him
Totally cool. Walter Matthau was one of the best. Also, enjoyed the Steve McQueen sighting (sitting behind Matthau). Anyone know the story behind his injuries? Is there any truth to the bicycle story?
And that is how you prevent the SHAMEFUL horror of a mistake in 2017. Have a separate person hand the envelope to the announcer right there at the moment, nearby, not backstage.

You will always be remembered as a legend.
his work in FAILSAFE continues to amaze
There is nobody equivalent to Matthau in movies today. What a unique talent he was.
This speech has almost everything an Oscar speech should have. Humorous, witty, entertaining, and short (just under 45 seconds).
Also very humble.
Because Matthau was a real MENSCH.

Walter Matthau's Oscar win for "The Fortune Cookie" was well-deserved. He was very funny in that role.
How about his performance in 1974s The Taking of Pelham 123!!!!!
@@scottmiller6495Yes! He was amazing in that role too! So was the late, great Robert Shaw. 😎👍
Even injured, he attended the ceremony while the other 3 winners of the acting categories didn't even bother to attend.
A great achievement for one of my favorites. But he had done quite a few films I enjoyed even more. He was a wonderful comedic gem.
Amazing job by Mr. Matthau. During production he suffered a serious heart attack and had to leave for quite some time. When he recovered, he had lost 30 lbs, had to wear heavy clothing to conceal it and still was able to complete the picture without missing a step.

Wow, did not know that! Would never have guessed. Matthau was phenomenal in "The Fortune Cookie".
And then he fell off his bicycle and broke his arm! Yikes. He shoulda hired a schister lawyer.
Matthau was known for being a decent person. He never played the big Hollywood star. He was generally nice to cast on films he worked on.

And I hope she didn't have bad breath that night, because she laughed audibly right under his nose practically, the whole time.
R.I.P to my dawg Steve Mcqueen he's behind Walter
I truly enjoy every movie Walter Matthau has made

Both Mr. Lemmon and Matthau where abselotely screen legends. But Lemmon (who is in my top 4 best actors EVER) is much better than the other. :D
In more recent times, I've become convinced the first Lemmon and Matthau collaboration is the best.

Great movie The Fortune Cookie .
So sad James Mason never an Oscar. He was great in Georgy Girl , and in so many roles he played.But Matthau is great too,.
Should have won for A Star is Born he equaled Judy on every level.
I've never seen Georgy Girl, but IMO if there was a film he deserved the Oscar for, it was The Verdict
