The audience for the movie "Half a House" (1979) was so small that song
writers Paul Francis Webster and Sammy Fain hired Druxman, who was then
a Hollywood publicist, to get their song, "A World That Never Was," an
Academy Award nomination. Since there was no commercial recording of
the song, Druxman set up an 800-number, so that Academy members could
listen to Fain's demo recording of the tune.
Ultimately, the song was nominated for an Oscar, and it was sung on the
Awards telecast by Eddie Albert.
