Arrivals

LIVE OSCAR BLOGGING! — You know what I miss during these Oscar arrivals? I miss Edy Williams. There was a span of maybe five years there where she used to show up each year in something outrageous and revealing. One year, I think she was in a leopard-skin bikini with a live leopard on a leash. I don't know that she ever got inside or even tried to, but the reporters would flock to cover her entrance, stampeding over Jimmy Stewart and Debbie Reynolds to get to Edy. It was almost all she was known for but it was, in a way, enough. One year, the night after the Oscars, Johnny Carson made a comment on the air, something like: "Poor Edy…she still doesn't know it's over." Not necessarily because of that, I don't think we ever saw Edy walk down the red carpet again. Or wear it.
