Tonight is the celebration of the Academy Awards.
There was a time when the Academy Awards were held in a restaurant and was a small ceremony. Now it's a money making enterprise that gives the entertainment industry the opportunity to give the finger to the movie going public by awarding movies that few people have seen and actors and directors who have been involved with movies that are more arty than the hoi-polloi can understand..
The Academy Awards are a chance for people in the motion picture industry to tell one another how great they are. When was the last time that happened in your trade?
Having said that, this writer is reminded of the days of the great European starlets. And to this day he maintains that no actresses, whether foreign or domestic, have shown themselves to be as iconic as these two women:
