Remembering History: Jack Palance already had been nominated for an Oscar twice before, both for best supporting actor, for 1952's Sudden Fear and 1953's Shane. In 1992, when he finally won the award for the comedy City Slickers, he proved he was just as virile as ever at 72. In the middle of a raunchy acceptance speech, in which he was explaining how reluctant producers can be to cast older actors, Palance stepped away from the podium, dropped to the stage and did a series of one-armed push-ups.
