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.
‘Legends’ is not an exaggeration in this case. How they got all these iconic giants together on one platform is extraordinary. And also the clips of their most memorable performances in the greatest classics of all time. All of them still remembered, respected and beloved today. In the 1980s in London I went to hear Carl Davis conduct the score live with, I think, the London Philharmonic Orchestra, to a screening of 2 Lillian Gish classic silent movies. I was astonished when she stepped out on stage after the performance. Of course, she received a prolonged standing ovation!
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
@@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.
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! :)
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.
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.
...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.
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".
I love the old screen legends of course to start the show my beautiful lillian🌟jean in that sexy leotart.☔i never heard james stewart sing😮marline could give a good kick in any outfit👟spencer so young in that film.i thought gregory peck was beautiful i loved him in to kill a macking bird.👍i lived Ginger Rogers when so young dancing with my favourite Fred Astair🕺💃👍.Paul Newman a sex symbol of his young days 😍.and of course my favourite female actress of all time aas she said i did it the hard way.👍As for the rest ofvthe golden oldies especially Mary pickford rest in peace to them all Amen🙏🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟they may be gone but there not forgotten Godbless them and thanks for there enjoyment in acting and watching their performances. 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🕊🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🦋🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹🌹
@@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.
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: ruclips.net/video/VkgaJobbIPg/видео.html
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
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!!!
That was so sweet. Jimmy looked so humbled and when he teared-up, so did I. I Love you, James Francis Cagney!!!
The way James Cagney cried at his applause put a lump in my throat.
The fact he was the only star whom couldn't walk on made it even more poingnant...
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.
@@distortedfeaturesI still do
I was there! It was pandemonium when Cagney appeared. The most moving applause of the night
It seemed the biggest applause went to Bette Davis. She brought the house down
Wow! Cagney was brought to tears. God bless him. These were Classic actors, the Good old days!!❤️🔥👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
My God, wonderful!!!! great stars, my favourit Bette Davis, but also Myrna Loy, Lillian Gish, James Cagney, James Stewart......
Oh my goodness, all brilliant, but Cagney set me off, what an actor what a man

Great to see this. James Cagney looked very moved. The ladies looked great, especially Ginger and Myrna.
Angel s with dirty face Cagney
I was 23 years old when this aired and recorded it on my New VCR.

Thank you for sharing this. It has always been my favorite Night100Stars. Wish I could see more...when all the actors couples were introduced.
Bette Davis...worked that entire room and was clearly grateful for the applause and recognition.
It's all she had, the old bitch.
@@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.

Davis had not gone through a mastectomy and a stroke yet. She was hit by them in 1983...
The performers shown in this clip were truly real movie stars compared to what is called movie stars today.
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! :)
Irreplaceable, magnificent...
WHATEVER STARS HAVE , THEY HAD IT AND THEY NEVER LOST IT , DEAR GOD !
i remember seeing this on tv. i mustve been 15. i remember tearing up when james cagney teared up.
Now these people ARE stars.
All gone now. When stars were larger than life.
THE WORD LEGENDARY ONLY BEGINS TO DESCRIBE THESE WONDERFUL ARTISTS ! THEY ARE THE ICONS OF THE 20TH CENTURY ! I cry just looking at their greatness !
Wow all so beautiful and talented ❤️💕❤️🤗

Eight years later...the full show is on youtube, so here's the entire sequence, in the 2nd half of this clip:
ruclips.net/video/VkgaJobbIPg/видео.html
A time when we had stars and not reality tv celebrities...
Happy birthday to Lillian Gish!!
Nothing to apologize for...this is in much better condition than the other washed-out copy on youtube. Thanks!
Wow! The great Cagney closing the show.
I would loved to have known the stars of yesterday years gone by❤

Loved them all!
Myrna Loy certainly was a pretty lady, and a fine actress.
Bette, Myrna, Gregory, James Stewart 😍😍😍😍
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
Well said!
its Kim Kardashians fault, trashy socialite!!!!
And these ones, among others of early Hollywood, are the real stars.
We will never have those in nowadays stars!

Great to see those Hollywood glories all together! Can anybody explain the number appearing next to their names? (Films done? Years of careers?)

Bette worked the f@#! outta that crowd!
Bette Davis got the highest applause that night. She deserved it!
No, she didn't. Cagney did.
@@TheTerryE - why, Because he couldn't walk?
@@TheTerryE - funny, disliking someone you don't know at all. Make you look very stupid.
@@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.
But you cut some of Davis' and Cagney's clips! ???
映画には夢と希望がある。だから、映画は大好き。勇気を貰えるから。
They couldn't pull off something like this in 2023... celebrity egos are WAY too big!
Sorry, I posted my Katharine Hepburn comments to the wrong show! Should be with the 1990 show, Forgive Me!!!
What happened to 1-57 they aren't on here
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: ruclips.net/video/VkgaJobbIPg/видео.html
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
They were in Night of 100 Stars 2, not in the original.
Did Ingrid Bergman show up..I believe she was still alive during this albeit very fragile
Almost everyone of these have gotten ned to the KENNEDY CENTER HONORARY AND AMERICAN GILM INSTITUTE.
Why did they put lillian gish 58?? It's not correct
That wasn't her age. She was the 58th star shown during the special.
Bette davis brought the house down!!!
Ginger's age is wrong she was 71 here she was born in 1911
The number beside her name was not her age, it was merely a sequence number of the order in which the movie stars appeared in the show.
No problem. That is bizarre, but the 'adding more commercials' thing sounds plausible...
wowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
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!!!
Mm,
