Lunch Break Video: A heartfelt Emmy speech from Barbara Stanwyck and moving tribute to Ann-Margaret

The legendary Barbara Stanwyck won the Emmy in 1984 for her memorable performance in the miniseries The Thorn Birds.

It was a well-deserved triumph – especially for the scene when she attempted to seduce Richard Chamberlain.

But many people thought it was going to be Ann-Margaret’s year for Who Will Love My Children?

The classy Stanwyck paid an amazing tribute to her fellow nominee in her speech: “I think she gave one of the finest, most beautiful performances I have ever seen. Ann-Margaret, you were superb.”
