Biografía

On the September 26, 1975 episode of The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson (1962), she grew tired of Oliver Reed's attitude towards women. They had a heated conversation and, after Winters told Reed what she thought of his opinions, she left the set. The show continued with Reed going on about women while Johnny Carson looked at him in a daze. Shortly afterward, Winters appeared from stage left, unannounced to Reed and to the shock of Carson. She was carrying a beverage glass and surprised Reed by dumping it over his head. Reed went on to finish his statement as if nothing had happened and later claimed the beverage was whiskey.

She donated her Oscar for El diario de Ana Frank (1959) to the Anne Frank museum.

Her marriage to Anthony Franciosa broke up when he had an affair with Lauren Bacall. During their affair, Bacall once called up Winters and complained, "I've been waiting for Tony for an hour. Where the hell is he?" Winters said, "You're complaining to me because my husband is late for a date with you?", to which Bacall replied, "If your husband doesn't respect your marriage, why should I?" Coincidentally, Winters and Anthony Franciosa died five days apart in 2005.

In Hollywood, all the marriages are happy. It's trying to live together afterwards that causes all the problems.
