On the night following this broadcast, April 8th, Anne Bancroft would win her only Oscar. Since she was in New York City, Joan Crawford accepted the statuette on her behalf at the 35th Academy Awards ceremony.
Anne Bancroft had just premiered in the Broadway play 'Mother Courage and Her Children', at Martin Beck Theatre. The production, co-starring Gene Wilder, would close on May 11, 1963, after 52 performances.
