Emmy Trivia:
The name "Emmy" is a feminization of “Immy”, a term commonly used for the early image orthicon camera tube. The statue was designed by Louis McManus, an engineer at Culver City's Cascade Pictures. He used his wife, Dorothy, as his model. McManus's design was the last of 48 entries in an Emmy design competition. His prize was a plaque of appreciation, not an Emmy.
