The 28th Golden Globes ceremony was held on February 5, 1971, at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills. That night, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association honored the best of the best in film and television in 1970.

While Lawrence of Arabia has become an enduring classic almost 60 years after winning six Golden Globes, the film could have looked very different if director David Lean had gotten one of his first choices for the starring role.

Burned into our retinas and collective consciousness, her portraits and poses are ever-present — so much so that it might even be possible to imagine her appearance at the Golden Globes on the evening of Monday, March 5, 1962.
