What did the academy have against Ralph Waite?! He was practically the show, and a very great actor!
Would have been nice to see him win a Emmy but he still a very good actor👏🎩
Utterly agree with you,well said,he made the show for me,great natural actor..Biggest fan of the incredible Waltons,deserved award for Ms Micheal ,also fantastic👏🏼👏🏼😘
It's a category issue. Ralph was both a co-star and a supporting actor so he didn't have a clearly defined category as an actor in the series. At least that's what Judy Norton said. Check out her RUclips channel.
I agree
He was definitely underrated & his acting style was very subtle & realistic.👍🏽💯😊
This is my great aunt I just met her this Christmas I love her so much ❤
Love the waltons such great actors never get tired watching that awesome show💕
I love that she corrected him on her name!
Leslie H And she wasn’t a jerk about it. I remember when Marg Helgenberger won, years later, for “China Beach” and presenter Richard Mulligan pronounced her name “Marge”. Marg corrected him when she won, and she was clearly irritated.
If one is given the job and honor to present an Emmy, they should have a rehearsal of some kind on pronunciation of names. Shame on James Franciscus!
@De St True, but James Franciscus was doing quality TV work when Michael Learned was barely out of her teens, so maybe cut him a little slack.
And she did it with class.
He probably saw Michael, but his brain told him that it should be Michelle. Even the producers of the Walton's put "Miss" before her name in the credits to prevent confusion as to who she was.
I was so fortunate to have grown up in the 1970s, during the tail of the Golden Age of Television, prior to cable, VHS, and DVDs, when three networks (ABC, NBC, and CBS) controlled everything we watched on television. And the funny thing is, we had enjoyed such great shows, such as 'The Waltons'.
Best of times for TV for 60-80's but I think the fave for me was the seventies!!!
@@lorraineb.4698 I partly agree. It sometimes depends on what stage in life each of us was at. I loved 60s TV as a child; 70s TV as a teenager and 80s TV as a young adult. After the 80s there have been some good programs, but it just hasn't been the same.
Yes I love the Walton. Still watch to this day.😊
I grew up then too; great era to be a kid.
She just exudes class in every way. What a lady.
It’s nice to see back when the Emmy awards were a classy event and real theatrical dignity was very much appreciated. They can ALL be proud of the work they did.
Yeah back when many people were snubbed for stupid reasons. Back when Hollywood was even more entrenched in drugs.
@@samcalven12 Bitter much?
Nice to see her smiling and jovial, seemingly rare for her character, and so nicely dressed!
New Zealand thanks you Waltons. You were apart of our lives over here. In fact we were all family back in the day.
Today, we are strangers
Bring back the 70s and 80s!!!!
She was so pretty... I had a huge crush on her when I was 8 years old. ... and nine years old.... and ten years...
I loved her and Samantha Stevens!
Nah... Not me... My crush was on Mary Tyler Moore and Laurie partridge
She looks very beautiful here.
Still do
@De St The women back then were natural for the most part and I think Michael Learned was one of them. Fillers had not been invented and most women have them now, young and old to perfect their faces. They start to all look the same. Individual, unique beauties are a rarity these days.
Miss Michael Learned was and still is an incredible enigma.Always versatile and hardworking,a deeply respected humanitarian and TV award winning actress. Her contribution to the acting world over the past two decade's especially is recognised by her continual encouragement of empowerment to many others .Her warmth and personality is indicative of the enthusiasm she has of living life to the full , but using her success and financial gains to help all kind's of charities and institutions which she puts before anything else.
Graham Shoebridge You copied that from something, right?
Watching The Waltons now and I adore her. She's so beautiful and is so wonderful as Olivia.
Wonderful lady and actress.🌹
Gosh! Such a wonderful era in tv. Glad I grew up in it!
Beautiful actress miss Michael learned sweetness so lovely and sweet too love her so much😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘😘.
I love Miss Michael Learned! 💙
2019, and still winning BEST ACTRESS
Michael is a class act! Thank you for the work you did on The Waltons….my favorite show!
Too bad she didn't stay on the show till the end. It left a void in the final seasons.
It was awful those last years; no wonder she wanted to leave.
I think she regretted as well
Don’t know why y’all think that. She’s said many times in interviews that the show wasn’t the same after the first five years. She was exhausted and didn’t want to do it anymore. She never regretted leaving. She was a theater actress first and foremost. She never cared about fame or any of that stuff that goes with with being a movie or tv star.
@@skipeastport5529 'Nurse' was a good show
Walton's leading lady ! a wonderful mother
Ralph Waite and Michael Learned made such a great couple!!
@@gailchypyha2781 Great chemistry
It’s pronounced Michael. I’m glad she corrected him
That's outstanding quality for something that was filmed back in 1973
I guess the presenter just couldn't believe that a woman would be named Michael!
I think it was more about James Franciscus being gorgeous, but as dumb as a bucket of hair.
But shes famous! How could the presenter not know??
Star Trek Discovery: "Michael Burnham" the only woman in Starfleet called "Michael"...
The name is perhaps derived from the German: "Michaela".(?)
He graduated Magna Cum Laude from Yale
Me too!
love Mike
Today is her birthday so Happy Birthday Michael and god bless.
Michael Learned has great acting in The Waltons: Season 1.
Michael is one gorgeous woman❕
I wonder why her IMDB does not list the Waltons, it talks only about her stage work. She played Suzanne Somer's mother in Suzanne's biography movie, Keeping Secrets, along with Suzanne playing herself.
Huh? It’s listed between the TV movie Little Mo and Nurse and her series after The Waltons.
In one vintage clip, Michael Learned said all she had to do was react to Richard Thomas in turning in a steller performance. Olivia Walton was one of the most interesting characters on the show. I always liked to watch her react to everything. Just how much was Liv willing to put up with from the other Waltons? I watch The Waltons everyday on ME TV and it is a best part of my day! Forget 'family values" or 'wholesome TV", the show is plain compelling. A+ Emmy so well deserved. I was likely cheering at my TV screen if I saw this back when...
Ellen Corby won three Emmys for her role as Esther Walton; Will Geer won one Emmy for his role as Zebulon Walton 🎭
When the awards had class not ass.
Never going to be the Same...never watch anymore.
HA! Patricia Dault. May I quote you?
I always loved Michael Lerner. Her 'Nurse' show was great too. Robert Reed (Mike Brady in the Brady Bunch) got a chance to show off his acting chops too in that show. He was excellent and underrated as well.
ScattySafari I remember Nurse. I liked it.
Learned.
Some people can’t seem to get her name correct.
How dare he! Congratulations, Olivia!
She had a great quote when she quit the show a few years later: “I got tired of pouring coffee, listening to everyone else’s problems!”
Oh wow she looked elegant
She should have used Michaela as her actress name because she's such a beautiful lady it fits her better
Yes I totally agree! She could have used another name ie stage name for her acting career. Ms Learned has no idea why her parents named her with a male name.
who were the two presenters?
This is my great aunt lol
My Lord... She was hot!!!!!!!
❤😊😊😊😊😊🎉
Wish I would have had that much guts when I would walk into class every week and be called by the wrong name by my professor. Haha
👏
JAMIE IT WAS POLICE STORY
Did he say "and the winner is MICHELLE Learned??"
What would grandma say about that bare shoulder look?
LOL Ellen would probably have drooled over it. After she divorced her husband of four year (if memory serves) she never remarried. BUT she had a FEMALE FRIEND of 30 plus years whom she lived with...google it, I did not too long ago and the source basically spelled it out....soooo two plus two equals Ms. Corbin loved women...it was pretty obvi if you read her body language in all of her movies and how she responded to Will Geer, never letting his 'frisky' old butt touch her much, nor did she engage in many kisses and hugs with him either. The kids yes, Will and other grown men, no. Not hating just saying.
@@jadedangel2008 You're right about her personal life but with Grandpa, she was playing a character. Grandparents wouldn't be making out in 1970s TV shows anyway. And Will Geer himself was bisexual.
@@DCFelix67Ellen Corby was bi as well.
How did they not know beforehand her name is Micheal.
Michael not Michelle! (Like in Star Trek Discovery!)
Is her name actually Michael?? Like, it’s not pronounced Michelle?
How I miss the days when the biggest controversy at an awards show was a mispronounced name.
There was the streaker at the Oscars. Still better than today.
Awards shows are uninteresting in either case.
Her father liked the name Michael.
@@gailchypyha2781 Yes, she was probably named after someone, father or some influential man in her parents' or her life.
No one told the Ken doll how to pronounce the nominees’ names prior?
Ralph Waite was stellar!!!! As was Ellen and will. They all should have won at some point.
Ellen Corby won three Emmys for her role as Esther Walton; Will Geer won one Emmy for his role as Zebulon Walton 🎭
@@jamesrivera4947 yes. I went on to find that out. I think Ralph Waite was even more fantastic. He should have won a couple seasons.
I am surprised Michael Learned never used a stage name for her acting career despite having masculine name. It’s so sad that people mistaken her as a make.
I Thought she was an attractive woman on The Waltons and very much Here also ! I've watched some of her short posted by - FoundationINTERVIEWS - on YT . . and she did not Age well ...... Not the Olivia Walton Personality - at All either .
I'm Pretty SURE that her and Ralph Waite = her husband John on the show . Put away MANY Cocktails together over the years.
They Were BOTH Very Good actors and Believable Characters in the show !!!! Of the Ep's that I saw anyway ...
Now , HOW DID I EVEN GET HERE ????????
Lovinsfun - er Yes, unfortunately both Michael Learned and Ralph Waite had been alcoholics, trying to quell the pain from private issues. But they were strong people and through guts and faith ditched the habit and got their lives back on track again.
Nothing wrong at all for a woman to be named Michael!!
I love certain boys names for girls. I love Jamie for a girl's name.
@@kristabrewer9363 Better than for a boy.
Michaela is much better for a girl.
@@m.e.d.7997 Much better for what? What would being named Michaela get you that being named Michael wouldn't?
@@andresuston7692 Michael has a feminine equivalent. it looks stupid. As a girl I would be pissed as F if my parents went and named me Michael. Michaela is so beautiful.
that woman in the beginning looks like a young michelle obama
That woman????? The woman is Cicely Tyson.
I was thinking that too!
Cecily Tyson was eons more attractive than Godzilla. And nicer!
i only watched for CAMI COTLER !!!!!
"The name is Michael." Great show. It's too bad Ralph Waite never won. What a role.
Just goes to show that he never watched the show if he didn't know her name in 1973. But, it was an honest mistake, I'm sure; probably thought it was a typo.
And not nearly as bad as John Travolta with Idina Menzel's name. 🤭
Olivia Walton wouldn't be caught dead in a dress like that lol
I am watching the re-runs of this fabulous show every day and it’s 2019,!!!!
Barb n.h. I have the box set
Adams apple
My name is Brett, and I've often been called Brent by mistake. It doesn't upset me because I know there isn't any malicious intent by it. Perhaps you should cut the guy some slack. Everybody makes mistakes. You're all just fortunate not to have your mistakes preserved on RUclips.
Why is it that in her particular case, I find the name Michael much sexier than if she were Michelle.
She's pretty cute.
Michael Learned was a fox in the 1970s.
Why did she have a male name?
I think Miss Learned was very gracious in the way she corrected Mr. Franciscus. However, everyone makes mistakes, but at the same time, I believe it's important to learn how to pronounce peoples' names _correctly._ A person's name is very important because it is a part of their identity. Not only that, but our names are our first gift given to us by our parents, who put a lot of thought and consideration into what they were going to name us.
Pronouncing somebody's name is also a show of respect for that person. I am a stickler when it comes to correctly pronouncing somebody else's name because our names are so important.
I remember one time when I worked in this bakery, one of my co-workers was a young girl from Palestine and her name is Hermein, pronounced like, her mean. Now, I'm not sure about the spelling of her name, but I remember how her name is pronounced. After posting here, I will look up this name on Google to see whether or not I got the spelling of that name correct. If not, I will come back here and make the correction.
My two _other_ co-workers, however, _couldn't care less_ about the pronunciation of her name. They always pronounced her name as Herman, like a guy's name and this really bugged me. I think it bugged my co-worker also, but she was too nice to say anything.
Be well and stay safe everybody.
A Truth Test:
www.goodpersontest.com
Update:
I went to Google just now to find out the correct spelling of my former co-workers's name, and from what I could see, it is spelled Hermine, with an "ine" at the end, not "ein" as I originally had thought.
Michelle?!!!! Oh hate that and I’m she said something!!!
O.K, folks, so this is what is coming down: Michael Learned frets over pouring coffee and being too nice on The Waltons, only she never is. Perspective, Olivia. As warm as her character can be, the actress has this wonderful, nature edge that makes her most ordinary of behaviors interesting. Of all the Waltons she is the one to watch. In another interview Michael compliments Richard Thomas, saying that as Oliva, all she has to do is react to him to turn in an effective performance. React she does. To everything. Dispite a great marriage and beloved children Olivia has a restlessness to her the audience always feels. Once she had the opportunity to be the head of a globe trotting fashion house but she turned it down to stay on Waltons mountain. Another time she was so needing of change she cut her beautiful hair and had it permed like Shirley Temple. Now she HAD to hide on the mountain. In that particular episode, the audience knew Olivia's hair would grow back by next week, but the ultimate dilemma of her restless spirt had not been solved....
Too bad the presenter could be bothered to ask about/ pronounce her name correctly.
He mispronounced her name. I don’t think I would have been as nice as her
Pervert alert! in these comments.
Shameful to be hosting such a prestigious award ceremony and not even get the winner's name right. We all know that her name is Michael, that's how it's spelt and pronounced, and albeit that it's unusual for a woman to bear this name, he should have gotten it right when he announced she'd won!
Never knew she won an Emmy for The Waltons. good to know. I heard in real life she was a really nice woman.
Michael Learned handled it well.
Fay Goodwin u shouldn’t be criticizing the host, but rather her parents for giving her a male name. Shamefull
The less said the better sometimes, Michael should have accepted her reward, no need to have corrected the host, bad manners !!
@@gracehannon6751 So if you have a job and your name is Michael, are you gonna let them continue calling you Michelle? How about speaking up for yourself and who you are, you would be spineless if you didn't.
She was smoking at the Emmy's in 1975! Cigs!
So what?
and that effects you how?
@@cmcb09 Just an observation. Relax.
Everybody smoked in ‘75
The Waltons, American version of the Von Trapps.
But they fish instead of sing.
Good one..they fish instead of sing🤣
Michelle..? lol..
I like the Walton’s, i like Michael learned, i dont think she deserved an Emmy. Her acting wasn’t all that special. Patricia Neal was much a more amazing actress.
Michael learned was a pretty girl. but she had a drinking problem
so did i
kitty kitty Who cares. Shes a beautiful woman and a fabulous actress
M Paxton who cares she was a drunk that just made her look worst....and her career so,bite me.. .
so I take it that Michael Learnerd was nothing like the real Olivia Walton?
worse not worst Fix it!! kitty kitty
Back when actors didn't use the podium to promote their political crap.
Back then it was. Michael actually. Now it's my names' Jordan Peterson and I'M going to make a WHOLE MOVEMENT about gender pronouns...Oh, and I'm a really Good Great Funny get a long Canadian and better that the USA...
When award shows were good
She's a Boy Mom she has 4 Sons
Why didn't they just call her Michaela. A pretty GIRLS name?
Is a name gonna make you pretty???
@@andresuston7692 Did she take that as a stage name??
@@lorraineb.4698 She was born with it, and according to Wikipedia her parents never explained the masculine first name.
It’s not your name Margaret and none of your business. STFU.
@@skipeastport5529 People can have opinions on youtube. Toughen up. Good grief. Relax Skippy. So sensitive. Personally, I would not have liked a man's name either, as a girl. Not that Michael is ugly. It's a great name. On a man. However, there are names that can be both. Leslie, Carroll. But with a feminine form Michaela I have to agree. Why not go with that?? The name may have a European or historical significance. I wonder if the birth certificate was misspelled?? I knew someone who learned their legal name had been "Baby". The parents have not decided on a named officially for whatever reason. You can't make this stuff up.! Jamie is another unisex name but they are not callin the girl James.
wow, no political bullshit speech
It's not acting for a reason.
