Best Actress winner Jennifer Lawrence had an unexpected encounter with an Oscar legend when she was being interviewed by ABC’s George Stephanopoulos.

Lawrence was chatting with Stephanopoulos when actor and Oscar staple Jack Nicholson, who often attends the ceremony, whether he’s nominated or not, came up behind her.

Lawrence let out a huge gasp when she realized who was over her shoulder, and it turned out Nicholson wanted to let her know he was a big fan.

“You did such a beautiful job,” Nicholson told her of her movie. “I don't mean to crash your interview.”

“Yeah, you’re being really rude,” Lawrence joked.

“You look like an old girlfriend,” the “Shining” actor then added.

“Oh, really?” Lawrence inquired. “Do I look like a new girlfriend?”

After Nicholson left, she buried her head in her hands. “Oh my God. Is he still here?”

Nicholson then popped up in view of the camera again, said, “I’ll be waiting!,” and disappeared.

“I need a rearview mirror!” Lawrence exclaimed.

Lawrence took home the Best Actress award for her work in “Silver Linings Playbook,” and was nominated previously for her work in the 2010 movie “Winter’s Bone.”

She’d also received praise for her graceful handling of an accident in which she tripped on the way to receive her Oscar. When some members of the audience gave her a standing ovation when she reached the stage, she said, “You guys are just standing up because you feel bad that I fell.”

In addition to her other films, Lawrence is currently the head of a young adult movie franchise in her role as Katniss Everdeen, the heroine of the dystopian “Hunger Games” trilogy. The second installment in the series, “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire,” is due out this November.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
