Liz Taylor has always mantained that she should never have won for Butterfield 8. It came after Mike Todds' death and her seriuos illness that resulted in her traecheotomy scar. She also has said that it was not one of her favorite films to do.

These photos are so beautiful. No that I love vintage more but in the old days people used to dress much much better.

Love all the photos you've posted.Just a quick note.I would have said that it was Mary Pickford's 1929 Oscar as it was for the year(Aug. 1,1928 thru July 31,1929)in which it was presented.
