IIPM Publication - The unofficial dressing room of the Oscars...
However, when they need to skip to the loo to fix their hair or dab some rouge, it certainly isn’t one of those public toilets but Louis J. Horvitz’s – Oscars’ telecast director since donkey’s years – office to which all stars set out for, making it the unofficial dressing room of the Oscars! Jack Nicholson is one luminary particularly at home in this rest room, often found here before his stage appearance, with legs up on the table watching the show on the director’s monitors. And then there are the artists who come with a handle-with-care tag, for they get ruffled for the pettiest of issues. For instance, Pretty Woman Julia Roberts, who adamantly refuses to use the staircase to make an entrance! And then are some who arrive simply too stoned to be of any good at all; like Whitney Houston who, at the 2000 Academy Awards, was so doped that while the music director played one song upon the piano, she went on to shakily croon a different piece altogether!
