Alice was one of the lucky entertainers to make a fruitful change from the quiet period into the sound age. In 1936 she was selected for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress in My Man Godfrey (1936).

Whenever she called the Academy to say that she had not accepted her Oscar, the story goes that the man was had been a sham who hosted crashed the gathering, acknowledged her honor and wandered off with it and neither the taken Oscar nor the one who left with it were heard from once more. This is false.
Indeed, Henry King, the head of the film "In Old Chicago" acknowledged her honor for her sake. As per news cut-outs found by custodians at the Academy's Margaret Herrick Library, he carried the Oscar to her sometime thereafter. It left her ownership after that - yet just to be engraved. No substitution was essential, all things considered.
