Behind-the-scenes talents and skills that combine to make a motion picture successful are spotlighted on this souvenir sheet. The stamps were issued to commemorate the 75th anniversary of the founding of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in 1927. The Academy is most famous for its annual awards of merit. The role of producer, exemplified by Cecil B. DeMille, is honored on the selvage. He is shown on the set of his 1934 epic, Cleopatra. Explanatory text about each of the other filmmaking crafts appears on the back of the stamps. Screenwriting: This stamp shows a page from the script for Gone With the Wind, a 1939 MGM film adapted from the novel of that name written by Margaret Mitchell. Directing: Director John Cassavetes is shown on this stamp, using his hands to frame a shot during filming of his 1970 film Husbands. Costume Design: Edith Head won eight Academy Awards for costume design. On this stamp she holds a sketch of a dress designed for actress Janet Leigh. Music: Max Steiner created the musical scores for King Kong, Gone With the Wind, and A Star Is Born. His hand appears on the Music stamp, making musical notations. Makeup: Boris Karloff sits patiently on the Makeup stamp, while makeup artist Jack Pierce works his magic. The transformed actor played the monster in the 1931 Universal Studios film, Frankenstein.
