That, of course, led to my two favorite actors sharing the stage:
One of her television performances that continues to be seen today in reruns was in a 1964 episode of “The Twilight Zone,” titled “Number 12 Looks Just Like You.” Ms. Wilcox played a plain-looking 19-year-old woman in a society of the future who resists a ritual “transformation” procedure to make her physically beautiful (she can choose from among standard models) and give her a longer life.

It is worth pondering now and again all of the "supporting actors" that make it possible for the main actor to pick up the award. It was nice to see that Gregory Peck genuinely thanked all those people when he picked up his award. And, of course, it is worth pondering and thanking those people who support us throughout the days, weeks and years for making it possible for us to do a lot of things.
