The 58th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards
Sunday 27 August 2006 on NBC
This year's Emmy nominees were selected under a new set of rules, which were enacted to prevent a predictable glut of fan favorites and hit series and give underrated but deserving contenders a fair chance. But did the change really work? Shows like Gilmore Girls and Veronica Mars were still...

In 2005, Emmy host Ellen DeGeneres poked fun at Blythe Danner during the Emmy Award ceremony, saying that she should not be nervous because she was almost certain to win at least one Emmy, which she eventually did.
(edit)
Blythe played Charlie Sheen and Jon Cryer's mother in the Two and a Half Men pilot but claimed that she didn't have a feel for the role and was subsequently replaced by Holland Taylor.
(edit)
Blythe has done Radio commercials for Campbell's Chicken Soup and Weight Watchers.
(edit)
Blythe got married to Bruce Paltrow on 14th December 1969. They remained married until her husband's death on 3rd October 2002.
(edit)
Blythe is 5 feet 7 inches (1.70 metres) tall.
(edit)
Blythe: It is my responsibility in treading on this Earth, to give back from which I take. To me, this means that I recycle, use the solar energy that is given out free to all of us, and I conserve what energy I do use. If I do my part, I can only hope that someone will follow my lead.
(edit)
Blythe: I was blessed. I found the love of my life, and we had the time of our lives. We shared our time filling the air with laughter, love, and happiness. Now I am full of spirit, that is full of Bruce, and I am at peace.
(edit)
Blythe: I used to glaze over when my friends would go on about being a grandparent, I'd say 'Oh please don't tell me how incredible it is'. But then here I am, it's really profound. It's just very, very, deep. It's very primal.
(edit)
Blythe: Not a minute of a day goes by without a small part of my heart aching for Bruce. He is my first thought in the morninig, and my last thought at night, and all I dream of.
(edit)
Blythe: I find myself spending so much more time with my grandaughter Apple, than I ever thought possible. She is just so explosive, and full of love, that I can't resist. I tell the kids to just let me know, if I have overstayed.
