I love tidbits like the fact that she based her hair style on Anna May Wong and that she wore the sunglasses to see the costumes in black and white.<br /><br />And I can't resist quoting Edna Mode from <i>The Incredibles</i>, who was based on Edith Head: "No capes!"Mythical Monkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11330587602682498820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668690844478666903.post-50045733392893357742011-03-10T06:42:59.973-07:002011-03-10T06:42:59.973-07:00This woman was incredible -- what a list of achiev...This woman was incredible -- what a list of achievements! I always thought it was cute that she designed such feminine, gorgeous clothes for other women, but like Katharine Hepburn, she herself dressed in slacks and jackets. I didn't know about the sunglasses either, and that is interesting.<br /><br />I always have to laugh a little when I think about Edith head because of an incident in our family. When Trivial Pursuit game was big, we always played The Silver Screen edition -- I always won. After a while, nobody would play with me! One of my sisters always seemed to get a question about who designed costumes for some movie. She didnt' do well at Silver Screen, but she just always answered Edith Head and was always right. It's a running joke in our family now.<br /><br />Wonderful tribute to Edith, Dawn. She deserves it!ClassicBeckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03591715859057540467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1668690844478666903.post-68952134946472654142011-03-10T04:42:17.966-07:002011-03-10T04:42:17.966-07:00Dawn,

I thought the clothes in "To Catch a Thief" were so wonderful, expecially Cary Grant's. I guess he could have worn anything tho, and looked great! :) I would love to see a post about The Westmore's, too!Robin@DecoratingTennisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09896928242190026852noreply@blogger.com
