I was nominated for an Oscar.

Wow that was thrilling. My wife and I arrived at the red carpet. Our driver opened the Cadillac doors. The photographers took

already pictures of us (with the old flashlights; you had to change them after each picture). All these flashes. It was already dark.

I waved to the crowd, which was applauding. It was so exciting. And it took place in the Warner Brother Studios over 20 years ago.

They chose me and a nice lady as my wife. I supposed to be either Stanley Kubrick or Karl Malden, even though I don’t have such

a nose as Karl Malden. It was the movie “Dorothy Dandridge”. Halle Berry played Dorothy Dandridge, who was the first African

American actress nominated for an Oscar in the nineteen fifties. And they took more takes. So I could enjoy again and again the

awesome atmosphere. I’ll never forget that.

Actually they didn’t use this scene in the movie, but that doesn’t matter. The experience itself was just worth it.

And one day before this great shot for me I had the honor to hold Halle Berry on her feet when she just lied in Bikini in front of me.

They didn’t use this scene either.
