They don't make them like they used to...

In honor of the Oscars, I thought it would be fun to take a look at some vintage stars and their statues.  I love how so many of them are genuinely smiling and happy.  Of course, if you just won an Academy Award, you'd be smiling too.  They just seem so much more relaxed than the stars of today. The focus seems more on the films and not the fashion.  They really don't make them like they used to!
