Viewers were encouraged to visit an In Memoriam section of the Oscars website, where Dean was included.
The website also honored Anne Heche, Gilbert Gottfried, and Seinfeld and Toy Story star Estelle Harris, among many others.
Every year, Academy organizers receive hundreds of requests for people’s loved ones to be featured in the televised segment. An executive committee representing every branch of the Academy then meets to make the final decisions on who to include in the limited available time.
Despite Dean not being included in the final telecast, fans vowed to remember her performance forever.
