From what I can count, the 31st Academy Awards in 1959 had over 30 valet parking attendants to take care of the cars of the arriving Tinseltown celebrities. This was a big year…especially for the producers of “Gigi” who won for Best Picture, Director, Adapted Screenplay, Scoring of a Musical Picture, Original Song, Art Direction, Costume Design, Color Cinematography, and Film Editing. I would hate to have been against “Gigi” that year but I would love to have been there! (And for fans of my books, you might want to keep this photo in mind when you read the 9^th and final Hollywood’s Garden of Allah novel, Closing Credits due out November 2018.)
