the Best Supporting Actress Award went to her Gone with the Wind co-star Hattie
McDaniel (1895-1952). Olivia ran into the kitchen of the Biltmore Hotel where
the ceremony was being held and started sobbing. Irene Mayer Selznick (1907-
1990), the wife of Gone with the Wind producer David O' Selznick, followed her
backstage and grabbed de Havilland's arm. "Listen you'll have plenty of
chances. Get out there and be gracious."
The actress dried her eyes, composed herself and went backstage smiling to
congratulate McDaniel. Selznick was proven correct; de Havilland went on to
win two Oscars. Meanwhile, Olivia's leading man was also crushed that night;
Clark Gable as Rhett Butler lost to Robert Donat (1905-1958) who played a
British school teacher in Goodbye, M r . Chips. "Don't worry, Pa," Clark's actress
wife Carole Lombard (1908-1942) said to htm as they left the Biltmore.
"Someday we'll have one of those statues on our mantle.""

When entering new questions, KudoZ askers are given an opportunity* to classify the difficulty of their questions as 'easy' or 'pro'. If you feel a question marked 'easy' should actually be marked 'pro', and if you have earned more than 20 KudoZ points, you can click the "Vote PRO" button to recommend that change.
How to tell the difference between "easy" and "pro" questions:
An easy question is one that any bilingual person would be able to answer correctly. (Or in the case of monolingual questions, an easy question is one that any native speaker of the language would be able to answer correctly.)
A pro question is anything else... in other words, any question that requires knowledge or skills that are specialized (even slightly).
Another way to think of the difficulty levels is this: an easy question is one that deals with everyday conversation. A pro question is anything else.
When deciding between easy and pro, err on the side of pro. Most questions will be pro.
* Note: non-member askers are not given the option of entering 'pro' questions; the only way for their questions to be classified as 'pro' is for a ProZ.com member or members to re-classify it.

: na kominku - najprościej i wystarczy. Dokładniej: na najwyższej poziomej powierzchni obudowy kominka - ale chyba nikt nie wymaga aż takiej precyzji. ;-)

można mówić o "półce kominka", ale nie ma potrzeby.
Wystarczy powiedzieć "na kominku", jak np. tutaj: http://tnij.org/px7gjk4
