In 1976 I was a booking agent and I decorated my office in a Hollywood theme. so I had about 6 framed movie posters of Classic films like- Black cat, The littlest Colrnel, GWTW, War of the worlds,King KONG,and another one.. cant remember.. also had stills of stars, my waiting room chairs where director chairs and I had movie reels, Old likes and proctors and other memorabilia laying around the office... A friend brought in 1920s photoplay movie magazines and after meeting some die hard collectors that had press books, real one sheets, inserts and all,,I started selling in Film collectosrs world and big reel and classic images and other collector papers.. those original 6 posters where reproductionPortal posters but back then they printed them on very flat paper stock so they looked good.. also they where like 24 x 36 I think so they where smaller then a 1 sheet.. and they looked great in a office setting..I also had framed letters from agents and people I was dealing with like Eileen Ford and Wilhelmina model agencys,, My union Agent license from NYC Lew Mancini.. and various other documents to make my agency look professional.. I was what like 20...??? lol hahaha this years OSCARS...... I thought the sets where good and it was ok,,, I would like to see more tributes to industry people that have been around like older actors and actresses.. as there is so much empahsis on the youth... Howevere Its ok as they are the ones working.. It was nice seeing Christopher Plummer, and a few others..But if you think.... much of the industry has become CGI instead of acting anyways.. or animation in CGI.. for the vintage peopell now seem to be 70-80s like Travolta and the like. Howevere the brightsode is I think the youger people are also getting nostalgic and want to see some of the older classic peopel due to the fact they can see iton netflix.. so perhaps ther will be a resurgence of older actors used like before... character actors to me always gave the films depth..
