The embodiment of the word "debonair", Niven was also a very witty fellow. When he was hosting the Academy Awards (back when Hollywood had real stars hosting the Oscars) he wasn't phased in the least when a streaker ran naked across the stage . He ad-libbed "Isn't it fascinating to think, that probably the only laugh that man will ever get in his life, is by stripping off and showing his shortcomings?"
Niven's wife died at age 28 playing a game of Sardines (a variant of hide-and-go-seek where "It" hides and everyone who finds It squeezes in with them) at Tyrone Power's house in 1946. She opened a door, thinking it was a closet she could hide in, instead she fell down a flight of stone steps and fractured her skull.
