Ночь сотни звёзд
Self
Самая блестящая, дорогая и утомительная видеосъемка в истории телевидения состоялась в пятницу, 19 февраля 1982 года, в нью-йоркском Radio City Music Hall. Мероприятие, за которое покупатели билетов платили до 1000 долларов за место (без учета налогов как взнос в Фонд актеров), было объявлено «Ночь сотни звёзд», но на самом деле в нем приняли участие около 230 звезд. И большая часть аудитории из 5800 человек заранее не подозревала, что они платят за просмотр телевизионной записи, сопровождающейся долгим ожиданием смены декораций и костюмов, перемоткой ленты и тому подобным. Исполнительный продюсер Александр Коэн подсчитал, что 5800 мест в Radio City Music Hall были распроданы по цене от 25 до 1000 долларов. Производство самого шоу стоило около 4 миллионов долларов, и ожидалось, что оно принесет около 2 миллионов долларов за новое дополнение к дому престарелых Актерского фонда в Энглвуде, штат Нью-Джерси. Считается, что ABC заплатила более 5 миллионов долларов за телевизионные права.
