It was designed by Cedric Gibbons (Second Pic), chief art director at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, and sculpted by Los Angeles artist George Stanley. In need of a model for his statuette, Gibbons was introduced by his then wife Dolores del Río (Second Pic) to Mexican film director and actor Emilio "El Indio" Fernández (First Pic). Reluctant at first, Fernández was finally convinced to pose nude to create what today is known as the "Oscar". "El Indio" Fernández (born Emilio Fernández Romo; March 26, 1904 – August 6, 1986) was a Mexican actor, screenwriter and director of the cinema of Mexico. The Oscar statuette depicts a knight holding a crusader's sword, standing on a reel of film. The film reel features five spokes (Third Pic), signifying the five original branches of the Academy (actors, directors, producers, technicians and writers.)
