HOLLYWOOD, March 14.—(AP)—Frederic March was chosen as the best actor of the year, Olivia De Havilland was named the best actress—but handless Harold Russell stole the show at last night's 19th annual presentation of awards by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.
Russell, the veteran with the hooks in "The Best Years of Our Lives," which won the best picture award, went home with two Oscars tucked under his arm.
His "Best Years" role, his first in motion pictures, brought him acclaim as the best supporting actor, and a special award by the Academy's Board of Directors.
It was March's role in "The Best Years of Our Lives," depicting problems of returned veterans, which won him the Oscar, while Miss De Havilland took home the coveted statuette for her performance in "To Each His Own."
Other major awards went to Anne Baxter, for her supporting role in "The Razor's Edge," and to the director of "Best Years," William Wyler.
