Penelope Spheeris Recalls Richard Pryor Hosting the Oscars

Penelope Spheeris, the director of “Wayne’s World” and other movies, remembers Richard Pryor, who cohosted the show twice. In 1977 (when “Rocky” won Best Picture) he co-hosted with Warren Beatty, Ellen Burstyn, and Jane Fonda. In 1983 (“Gandhi”), he co-hosted with Liza Minnelli, Dudley Moore, and Walter Matthau. A celebrated stand-up comedian who appeared in dozens of movies, Pryor passed away in 2005.
