    • Trivia
      The stars in attendance included presenters McLean Stevenson and Jean Stapleton (Stapleton also being an acting award nominee that evening) in their only shared credit, their respective sitcom roles of Col. Henry Blake of M*A*S*H (1972) and Edith Bunker of All in the Family (1971) being among the most iconic instances of a major character in a comedy to be killed off.
