Louis McManus, a television engineer, created the Emmy statuette, using his wife's image as a model.

Emmy Awards are named after "Immy", an abbreviation for the image orthicon tube, an early camera. It was later changed to "Emmy", which seemed more feminine.

Tickets to the event were $5.00. Today's tickets are from $200 to $400 depending on where one sits.
