I attended the Academy Awards a couple times because Phil Sadona, who was on the board of the Academy liked me and gave me tickets. He was one of the people who felt that I should not give up on acting. Phil had once had a contract with 20th Century Fox at the same time as Marilyn Monroe, my favorite actress. He had curly black hair and looked like the old actor Errol Flynn. He used the stage name Tony Roman when he was an actor.
There is always controversy over the Academy Awards and how the Academy selects the winners. But I believe that the Academy Awards has elevated the art of acting and that this is a coveted and desireable acheivement to be recognized by them.
