Helen Hayes in "Airport"

Helen Hayes: The First Lady of American Theatre.

Well, now I'm intrigued! I don't know anything about this movie but I wanna watch it now lol

I feel like this on my damn flight right now

For those of your wanting to watch this movie. Its on hulu thos month. O watched it last night. Great movie

MRS STEINMETZ!

I’ve seen this movie over a dozen times. When you compare Stapleton’s performance to Hayes, Stapleton clearly out performed Hayes and she should have won the Oscar for Best Supporting. Hayes was a scene stealer and put into cute “little old lady” set ups. Stapleton actually had to emote real emotion and character. Hayes’ Oscar win was a sentimental award. “Airport” was her return to film after a 25 year absence. The Academy has always had this bad habit of awarding sentiment over performance.

Smart and funny

Such an awesome moment in the film... !!!

I live in her hometown of Nyack ny

She acts like a character from AIRPLANE!

Omg, forgot Dean Martin was captain!
BAHAHAHAAH!!

One of my favorite movies.

Dean Martin, Jacquelin Bisset and the great Helen Hayes. It doesn't get any better than that.

You know what's messed up?.... This is EXACTLY what would happen today.

That was intriguing! I’m hooked and want to see the movie now. I’ve never heard of this movie until just now b

Now I'd like to watch the whole movie!

So underserving of the Oscar that year. Sorry for all you dolts who think just because she was First Lady of the American Theatre that she deserved it. She DID NOT. Lee Grant was robbed.

The flight attendant knows the proper way to handle hysterical passengers. She received excellent training!

At side of Helen Hayes in Airport had a man and he had a suitcase with a bomb! I am not sure that was the story exactly, but I think is more exciting Airport 1970 than 1975.

The few lines between Hayes & Martin are the highlight of the film, imho.

This was 1970. She looks the exact same age as she did in 1984 when she starred on the very first episode of Highway to Heaven...14 years later. Brilliant actress.

In real life there was recently a story in Chicago of a woman who was a serial stowaway at O'Hare airport much like the Helen Hayes character in this movie.

This woman is a legend and a brilliant actress but honestly She did not deserve the Oscar for this performance; it was overrated

You’re being hysterical “slap” LOL

Loved the 60s 😂

Helen Hayes is an American actress unlike any other. Did she deserve an Oscar for this role - not sure because I didn't see all of the other movies but she was brilliant in this role for sure.

She is the queen of Tony awards---

I am serious!  And don't call me Shirley!

Little old lady, hidden badass!

I liked Maureen Stapleton in this movie and wish it could have been a tie with Helen.

She looks like Bob Hope in drag.

Does anyone else find the performance of the stewardess more better than Helen Hayes's Oscar winning performance....

How can you say that? Helen Hayes was BRILLIANT!

I would of added to the story that Mrs. Quonset not only got to travel 1st class on Trans global for free for the rest of her life, but became the airline's favorite passenger and made many friends among the staff and pilots. A tad bit sentimental but a nice thought..

This is one of the worst performances to ever been awarded an Oscar.

"You're not that important". I've actually used that line on passengers a few times. :-)

Oscar totally deserved. looooooooooooooooove Ada Quonsett!

She is hilarious! I can see why she won her Best Supporting Actress Oscar, very richly deserved.
