She could do it all, comedy, drama, sing, dance, and had a career lasting 6 decades, from the early 30's through the early 80's. </p><p>Her greatest decade was the 30's, when she first burst on the scene singing "We're in the Money" in pig latin in Busby Berkeley's "Gold Diggers of 1933." It was not long after that she teamed up with Fred Astaire to create some of the most beloved musicals of all time. Their incredible dancing, on screen chemistry, and original songs by the likes of the Gershwins, Irving Berlin, Jerome Kern, Dorothy Fields, etc, made for movie magic, with the Art Deco gloss that was 30's Hollywood thrown in. To this day you can't watch one of those movies and not feel good. </p><p>She also excelled at comedy, in movies like "Vivacious Lady," "Bachelor Mother," "Fifth Avenue Girl," and the classic comedy-drama "Stage Door" which has one of the greatest female casts ever assembled on screen. </p><p>In 1940 she won the Best Actress Oscar for her portrayal of a simple girl trying to navigate life in "Kitty Foyle." Another excellent drama from this time period is "Primrose Path" and the wartime drama "Tender Comrade." <br /></p><p>Her career continued on a high note through the 40's, with the lavish "Lady in the Dark" as one of her best, and in the 50's she excelled in the comedy "Monkey Business" and was truly sinister in the film noir "Black Widow." <br /></p><p>She made fewer movies in the 60's and focused on stage, nightclub, and television work which she continued to do right through the 80's. She brought "Mame" to the London stage to great success and also toured with "Hello Dolly." Her nightclub act in the 70's and 80's played all of the major U.S. showrooms and even Radio City Music Hall. </p><p>In the early 90's she released her autobiography, and continued to do book signings and appearances before her passing in 1995. </p><p> </p><p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb7z6KlS_rYwLXQ5wfxkuKSPFmiX6UVUQtvi255I9XCLlLSMLzW5sq-4GMLil_c93gQ_lSLflrYTrqGE8x4568l7XP4NJfh_Us7ylHt-r5FQYjSZf_zZGLmbHTkyM-HcGnnj02FXkw9LFQ5gSWdZkVmn6TRa49ZbVqaTbUqOM2ky89i-BuV4H2UqSziA/s893/Ginger%20Rogers%20-%20publicity%20for%20'Swing%20Time'%202.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="893" data-original-width="687" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgb7z6KlS_rYwLXQ5wfxkuKSPFmiX6UVUQtvi255I9XCLlLSMLzW5sq-4GMLil_c93gQ_lSLflrYTrqGE8x4568l7XP4NJfh_Us7ylHt-r5FQYjSZf_zZGLmbHTkyM-HcGnnj02FXkw9LFQ5gSWdZkVmn6TRa49ZbVqaTbUqOM2ky89i-BuV4H2UqSziA/w492-h640/Ginger%20Rogers%20-%20publicity%20for%20'Swing%20Time'%202.JPG" width="492" /></a></div> <p></p><p>Ginger has always been one of my all time favorites since I was a kid.

for their performances in Hallmark Hall of Fame's production of "The

Oliver Wendell Holmes. Joan Crawford and Melvyn Douglas collected the awards for the Lunts.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">"Saigon" is a tale of espionage and romance set in the Far East, and Lake co-stars with her frequent leading man, Alan Ladd. They became a popular on screen couple after their breakout roles in "This Gun For Hire" one of the more famous film noirs of the 40's. Their on screen chemistry was so intense that Paramount decided to team them up three more times, with "Saigon" being their last outing together. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Veronica Lake found stardom practically overnight after playing a sexy nightclub singer in "I Wanted Wings," and her next film, Preston Sturges' "Sullivans Travels" co-starring Joel McCrea, made her an 'A' list leading lady at Paramount. During the 1940's she starred in many top movies at the studio before her career waned by the early 50's. She was also one of the pinup girls of WWII, and her famous "peek-a-boo" hairstyle of her bangs hanging down over one eye became a rage in 1941 and was widely copied by women who wanted the same sexy look. With that hairstyle and her smoldering beauty she became one of the sex symbols of the 1940's and was regarded as one of the most beautiful women in film.</span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">For about 10 years she was a top star, but it all ended very suddenly and she practically fell into oblivion. There's the famous story of her living in a hotel in NYC and waiting tables there just to get by. However she did continue to act on stage and TV and also wrote an autobiography. Her life is one of those Hollywood stories that is almost folklore, of how it can give you fame and fortune and then it all disappears. Regardless of that, she does leave a lasting legacy of beauty on the screen, and is probably the most legendary actress of the 'film noir' genre. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">In "Saigon" she wears the costume for a long portion, as they are traveling to Saigon on a boat, and then arriving and checking into a hotel. It's a good 15 minutes of the movie and it's nice to see a costume on screen for that long. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I came to acquire the costume in a roundabout sort of way. It was originally sold in the 1990 Christies sale of selected costumes from the Paramount archives. It was bought by Debbie Reynolds in that sale, and then the tunic turned up at auction about 10 years ago when she sold a few things from her collection. At the time I didn't know about the pants, I assumed they were long gone. Then I stumbled upon the Christies catalog and saw the pants listed with the tunic, and thought that perhaps Debbie might still have them. As it turns out, the two pieces had gotten split up in her extensive collection over the years, and thankfully I was able to purchase the pants directly to put the costume back together. It's great that she bought it and preserved it in the incredible archive that she amassed, saving so many costumes and Hollywood artifacts, and I'm happy to now own it and hope to exhibit it someday. </span></div>

Billie Burke will forever be remembered as Glinda the Good Witch in what is arguably the most famous movie of all time "The Wizard of Oz." But she had a lengthy career in motion pictures, playing character parts in dozens of movies throughout. She was also married to the great Broadway impresario Florenz Ziegfeld of "Ziegfeld Follies" and "Show Boat" fame, who is still renowned as one of the greatest producers in the history of the theater.<br />
<br />
She began her career on Broadway during the early 1900's, and segued into motion pictures during the earliest days of the silent era. She was very successful, and continued to work steadily in the industry until 1960. Her heyday was the 1930's and 40's where she played in such memorable classics as "Dinner at Eight" as Lionel Barrymore's wealthy, flighty wife, in "The Man Who Came To Dinner" as a long suffering host to Monty Wooley, and in the series of popular "Topper" movies, the best being 1941's "Topper Returns." In 1938 she was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Oscar for "Merrily We Live" her only nomination.<br />

<br />
She had a unique career in that she worked freelance in the movies during a time when most actors were under contract to one particular studio. It was probably due to the fact that she was already well established as a personality in the business when she started making movie after movie during the 30's and 40's. She had perfected the role of the elegant, flighty, comedic wife or mother and was sought out for those types of roles. And although excellent in them, she could handle drama as well. She's revelatory as Bette Davis' depressed mother in "In This Our Life" or as Katharine Hepburn's mother in "A Bill of Divorcement," dealing with the strain of estranged husband John Barrymore's return.<br />
<br />
In "The Young In Heart" she plays the matriarch of a family of con-artists, with frequent co-star Roland Young as her husband and Janet Gaynor and Douglas Fairbanks Jr. as their children. The story revolves around them trying to swindle a wealthy old woman (played by Minnie Dupree) out of her fortune, but as good things start happening in their lives and as kind as the old woman is to them, they begin to think of her as family. When she becomes ill they are genuinely concerned and help her get back on her feet. It has a happy ending with both children marrying their significant others - Fairbanks to Paulette Goddard and Gaynor to Richard Carlson.<br />

The hat is labeled with a Selznick Studios label with her name and production/inventory number. It's kind of remarkable that the hat survives, since very few Selznick labeled pieces have ever surfaced. Most of the ones that have are ladies costumes from "Gone With the Wind" that still exist, and they too are predominantly hats and bonnets. (And a handful of Vivien Leigh's gowns are in various archives).<br />
<br />
The hat also bears a Nicole de Paris label, the French milliner who originally made it, and labels from 20th Century Fox and Western Costume. It seems to have been re-used a lot over the years from the other labels being in it, which is probably why it's survived. Costume design for the movie was by Omar Kiam, but obviously the hat was bought for the production.<br />

Ol' Blue Eyes, The Chairman of the Board. He's arguably the greatest entertainer of the 20th Century. And I know, I know, there's Michael, and Elvis, and Marilyn, and Lucy, etc. etc. But, in terms of the impact that he had on show business and our culture for so many decades, I think he can easily be regarded as the greatest.</span> </span></span></span></span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I'll never forget the first time I heard "Luck Be a Lady". I was about 12, and it was the first song of his I had ever been exposed to, outside of hearing "Come Fly With Me" on an airline commercial. Anyhow it was in a box set of cassette tapes (and yes, I'm dating myself) of "big hits of the 50's and 60's" that I got at a vendor booth at a car show. This was the only song of his in the whole set, since it had one hit from each big name of the time. I was so blown away by his performance, not only of the song itself and how he sang it, phrased the words, paced it, swung it, but the orchestra, just blasting away behind him. To this day I don't think there's a song I've heard that has such a big screaming horn section like "Luck Be a Lady". I played it over and over again, and then bought an album of his best hits - "20 Golden Greats" or something like that, and I've been listening to him ever since. From the Big Band era and the songs he did with Tommy Dorsey and Harry James right up to his last album with Quincy Jones, as well as the brilliant "Duets" albums. Then there's his heyday of the 50's and 60's and those great albums he did with Nelson Riddle, Count Basie, and Antonio Carlos Jobim. He sang so many types of songs, did so many types of albums, and there isn't one I can think of that I don't like. He and Ella Fitzgerald are really the best singers of all time in my opinion. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The thing about Sinatra is not only was he a great singer, but such a great actor as well. And most other singers of his era didn't make that transition. Some people, like my Dad for instance, consider him a better actor then a singer. Watch him in "From Here To Eternity" which he deservedly won the Oscar for, or "Suddenly" where he plays a crazed assassin, or "The Manchurian Candidate" where he gives a subtle performance. And then of course the musicals. He was so good at playing the shy nerdy type in the 40's MGM musicals like "Anchors Aweigh", "Ball Game", and my favorite, "On the Town". And it's great to see him playing that kind of character since he was nothing like that in real life. And he took these musicals seriously. Gene Kelly himself said that Sinatra was dedicated to learning how to dance well and really gave it his all. And it shows when he's holding his own alongside Gene Kelly who was one of the greatest movie dancers of all time. During the "Ultimate Event" concert that Sinatra did with Sammy Davis Jr. and Liza Minnelli which was filmed for TV, at one point he's sauntering across the stage and says "I taught Gene Kelly everything the bum knows" to laughter of course... A funny tribute to his old dancing partner.</span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sinatra went through many highs and lows throughout his life, both career wise and privately, and he emerged as a legend and an icon of our culture, representing the best in popular music, and left a lasting legacy on film as well. I'm glad I have this relic from his movie career. It's a special piece in the collection. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"Take Me Out to the Ball Game" takes place during the early 1900's, and Sinatra and Kelly are players for a team called "The Wolves". It winds up under the ownership of Esther Williams, much to the chagrin of Kelly especially, and this causes friction with her. Sinatra is initially smitten with Williams, but then Kelly falls for her, as their animosity toward each other soon blossoms into romance. All the while Betty Garrett has her sights on Sinatra, who she winds up with by the end. It's a fun movie, directed by Busby Berkeley who was so versed in doing movie musicals. He helmed the now iconic ones done at Warner Brothers during the early-mid 30's, like "42nd Street" and the "Gold Diggers" series. </span></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Sinatra wears the jacket for a long segment of the movie, during the number "Yes Indeedy" with Kelly, and then "It's Fate Baby, It's Fate" with Garrett. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The jacket originally came from the 1970 MGM sale, and I bought it from a guy who bought it there. It was one of the many costumes sold after the main auction during the retail sale that was held of costumes and props when the studio was being liquidated. So much history was lost, but luckily things like this survive because of the many people who went and bought things and held onto them. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Costume design was by Valles, who worked on a number of MGM movies designing mens costumes during the mid to late 1940's. Women's costumes were by Helen Rose, who was the main designer at MGM from the late 40's throughout the 1950's. Here is the MGM label with his name and production numbers. His name and the size notation of 38 is also written in the lining. It's a real reminder of how skinny he was early in his career. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I was lucky enough to meet Betty Garrett at one of the Hollywood Collector Shows about ten years ago. She was one of the nicest celebrities I've ever met, very sweet, very talkative, and very down to earth. She signed a photo to me of Sinatra wearing the jacket during their number together and wrote a fun inscription... </span></span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Each year around Thanksgiving, Bonhams in New York has their yearly sale of great Hollywood memorabilia that they do in conjunction with Turner Classic Movies. This year they're also auctioning the estate of Maureen O'Hara, one of the great actresses and beauties of classic Hollywood. I went to the opening reception on Sunday night which was a lot of fun. Here I am with Judy Garland's "test" dress from "The Wizard of Oz" ...</span> </div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This dress was used during the early stages of filming, when they were trying different styles and shades of blue trying to find the right look of her character Dorothy Gale. To the left is the image of Judy wearing it, as well as a pinafore apron that was also an early test piece. These are the most important costumes in the sale... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I also consigned a few pieces of my own, paring down the collection a bit. An Ava Gardner gown from "One Touch of Venus", Betty Hutton costume from "The Perils of Pauline" and Jill St. John dress from "Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed". I'll post pics of those later, but first let's look at some highlights from Maureen O'Hara's estate since her auction is being held first... </span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhijwGsRJTraOdnNWhTg-_MG1zFGyyDvotfSXaFf-dWa_T4PjorZ1dL45b2cMKl0jNFpGgWQ6gUTUOEb97P4QdpBO0mYEkgGpX2oTKRYqabXLNkpS97Cqp10Vni-K46O5RRvoURb-7guqi1/s1600/Maureen_poster.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhijwGsRJTraOdnNWhTg-_MG1zFGyyDvotfSXaFf-dWa_T4PjorZ1dL45b2cMKl0jNFpGgWQ6gUTUOEb97P4QdpBO0mYEkgGpX2oTKRYqabXLNkpS97Cqp10Vni-K46O5RRvoURb-7guqi1/s400/Maureen_poster.jpg" width="316" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Since I mainly collect vintage Hollywood costumes, it was fun to see O'Hara's estate, since she saved so much of her vintage wardrobe, going all the way back to the 1940's. She had great taste too, elegant with a flair for glamour<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">...</span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is the earliest piece in <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">her</span> auction, a dressing gown she wore in the movie "Sentimental Journey" in 1946. Typically the stars didn't keep costumes from their movies back then, since the costumes were owned by the studios and often re-used or re-purposed, or just kept in studio wardrobe. So it's really neat that she kept this... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">In the image above there is also the accompanying portrait photo of her wearing the gown. It was also most likely used as inspiration for the gown she's wearing in the painting of her which is featured prominently in the movie. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There were green silk panels at the hips which were apparently removed over time. Most likely by O'Hara herself so that she could give the gown a more modern look to re-wear it. Still a great 50's glamour gown. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">There is also a dress from "Malaga" in the auction, a beautiful shade of yellow with a pleated skirt and a mini bolero. She also posed for some great publicity shots wearing it - </span><br />

She took a great photo wearing it with Barbara Stanwyck and Lionel Barrymore. It's being sold with a cape and purse that she wore on a separate occasion - </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This painting is called "Farewell to Earth" by Pilides Tino Costa and is an image of Jean Harlow. It was commissioned by her mother after Harlow died tragically in 1937 at the age of 26 from kidney failure. It's exceptional, not only as a great piece of art but as a great piece of Hollywood history as well. Interestingly, and in true Hollywood fashion, the painting was lost for many years, decades actually and was feared gone forever, and then about a year ago it was found in an attic of a house in the mid-west. Apparently someone in Harlow's family had inherited it after Harlow's mother passed away, and it wound up languishing in<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> an attic </span>somewhere until recently being discovered. I really feel someone should do a documentary about the painting<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> and how it was lost <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">for so many years. It would make for<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> a great hour long show on the History Channel or <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Nat Geo, <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">a station like that</span></span></span></span></span>. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The painting was featured in the front window of Bonhams facing Madison Avenue. They had a few select important items there, including Yul Brynner's cape from "The Ten Commandments" and Harpo Marx's signature harp... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here are my three pieces, first up the Ava Gardner gown from "One Touch of Venus" designed by Orry-Kelly. It failed to sell, mostly because of the very high price I put on it. To me it represents the best of classic Hollywood glamour, worn at the height of her beauty in 1948, and it's also in excellent condition. It's also never been available on the open market. I was lucky to be able to acquire it privately when it turned up in L.A. a few years ago. I might offer it for sale again in the future since I have other things from Ava<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">.</span> </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Next is Betty Hutton from "The Perils of Pauline" which was a movie about the life of silent movie star Pearl White, who starred in the series of "Pauline" adventures. <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I had this costume </span>in the MFA Boston exhibit "Hollywood Glamour, Fashion and Jewelry from the Silver Screen" held about two years ago<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">.</span> It's a beautiful example of workmanship by the studio, made of silk with gold braiding and sequins. I was lucky to find this one, since it's not labeled for Hutton, only stamped as from the Paramount wardrobe department<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">. T</span>hrough my detective work I was able to find Hutton wearing it in "Pauline", one of her more memorable roles, and honestly one of the few movies she made that I can actually sit through! She was great but always very off the wall, a bit much for my taste. It really looked great at the preview - </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">And the last of my pieces, a black cocktail dress and jacket worn by Jill St. John in "Who's Been Sleeping In My Bed", a 60's comedy she made with Dean Martin, Carol Burnett, Elizabeth Montgomery, etc. A great example of 60's glamour, worn by one of the more beautiful actresses of the era and designed by Edith Head. This one didn't sell, but another one I'm just as happy to hold onto...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here are some more costumes that were featured in the sale. One of my favorites was this period dress worn by Una Merkel in the 1952 version of "The Merry Widow" and designed by Helen Rose. I love the rich purple color and the beading. In the second image you can see her standing behind La<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">na Turner wearing it. She w<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ears it ext<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ensively in the movie but that was the best image I could find online <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">of her in it. </span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here is a jacket worn by Matthew Garber in "Mary Poppins", it's one of his signature costumes from the movie. It comes from the same collection as the James Earl Jones did, and the Bobby Driscoll below also comes from the same collection. It's quite an archive of vintage actor costumes saved from Western Costume Company. This and the Driscoll did very well in the sale, both being from important Disney movies. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The Bobby Driscoll is from "Song of the South" and is a very rare piece. Any famous child actor/actress costumes are usually sought after since they're more rare to find, and are usually connected with a famous family movie or one p<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">eople remember <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">fondly from their</span> </span>childhoo<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">d</span>. "Song of the South" is legendary for being the one movie Disney has banned because of its depiction of African-Americans. Watching it today and taking it into context for the time, Uncle Remus (the former slave who is the wise sage to Driscoll) is the hero of the movie. But, it's extremely racist in the way it shows former slaves happily living on a plantation, and the cartoon characters of Brer Rabbit and Brer Fox are also portrayed in a very racist way, a la "Amos and Andy." <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">t's kind of shocking that even in the 1950<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">'s African Americans c<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ould</span> be <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">portrayed in a denigrating way, but it's just the way thin<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">gs were back t<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">hen</span></span></span></span></span></span>. Or maybe things were already starting to change, bec<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">ause the <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">movie was a commercial failure for Disney.</span></span> </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">I<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">n the movie I </span>think t<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">he studio was </span>trying to show what it was like after the Civil War, that some former slaves did stay on the plantations and work and get paid as free citizens. But regardless of that, it shows them on a lower level then the white people, which is unacceptable. Couple that with the cartoon characters and it's just wrong, even if Disney at the time was <span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">just trying to </span>make those cartoon characters comical and lovable. Watching it with a historical perspective allows you to still enjoy the story and the beauty of the movie itself. It's well made since it's Disney of course. And just being able to see Hattie McDaniel makes it worth watching in my book. But anyhow, that's why the Driscoll is important. Something tangible from such a notoriously famous movie makes the costume more collectible, and a rare piece of Disney memorabilia. The movie itself although banned can be found online<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"> as a bootleg.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">One of the highlights of the sale were items from the estate of Rudolph Valentino. After he died in 1926 an estate auction was held, and the catalog from the sale alone is very collectible. These items have all been in the same family since the estate sale, and here they are after 90 years still surviving. It's great to see that they were preserved. Usually stuff like this gets lost over the years. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial", "helvetica", sans-serif;">Designed by Edith Head, it's made of black silk, it features a built in under-dress, and a wrap skirt. It's very sexy, and very representative of her style as one of the great dark haired beauties of classic Hollywood along with Elizabeth Taylor, Vivien Leigh, Gene Tierney, Suzanne Pleshette, etc... </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial", "helvetica", sans-serif;"> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial", "helvetica", sans-serif;">Here's the original costumer's label with her name. Notice how her first name is misspelled, a common occurrence with these labels. It's amazing to me that people who worked at the studio didn't know the spelling of the stars' names! An Ann Harding coat that I identified for a dealer was labeled as "Ann Hardex", lol. Just too funny... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Jeanne Crain wore this light green Victorian style gown in "The Fan," from 20th Century Fox in 1949. The movie is based on Oscar Wilde's famous play "Lady Windermere's Fan," and it stars Crain as Lady Windermere herself, with Madeleine Carroll, George Sanders, and Richard Greene in supporting roles. It was directed by Otto Preminger. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Jeanne Crain was one of the great beauties in movies during the 1940's, and one of the biggest stars at 20th Century Fox at the time. After starting her career there in the early 40's, she appeared in a few 'A' list movies, including "State Fair" and "Leave Her To Heaven," both of which she was excellent in, and by 1946 she was starring in her own movies, usually playing a pretty and sweet girl-next-door type. In 1949 she made "Pinky" which is generally regarded as her best performance and the most important movie she made in her career, not only because it was a first class production but for the social implications that it had. In it she plays an African American girl that passes for white, who, after studying to become a nurse in New England and being accepted as white, goes back to the south to stay with her grandmother (played by the incredible Ethel Waters), on the plantation that Waters lives and works on, and deals with the racial adjustments she has to make. Ethel Barrymore plays the elderly owner of the plantation who winds up being a great influence on Crain, as well as Waters who raised her. It's an excellent movie about how African American people were treated in the south during the time, even during the 1940's, and the prejudice that they had to endure, and how when she passed as white her life was dramatically different. Elia Kazan who directed the movie did not want Crain in the part, and instead wanted a more believable actress, preferably Lena Horne who actually was African American. But of course the studio at the time wouldn't allow that. Crain was as white as can be, and is slightly unconvincing in that regard but as far as the performance goes, she gives it her all and it comes across. The bitterness, frustration, and conflicting feelings are all there. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Anyhow I could go on and on all day about this movie, or any movie I happen to love, but getting back to Crain and her career, in 1949 she made "A Letter To Three Wives," which can also be considered one of her best movies. Helmed by the great Joseph L. Mankiewicz, it has all of the sharp dialogue he was known for, and is a very well written story with engrossing characters who are well developed. It was also a first class production for the studio and had a great cast including Ann Sothern, Linda Darnell, Kirk Douglas, and Paul Douglas. In the 1950's and 60's Crain continued to star in big productions, like "People Will Talk" with Cary Grant, and "The Joker is Wild" with Frank Sinatra. By the late 60's her career wound down, and her last screen credit was in 1972. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Crain had an active family life, she and her husband Paul Brinkman had five children, and although a tumultuous marriage at times, they stayed married until he passed away in 2003, and she passed away a few months after him at the age of 78. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Being a classic movie fan and immersed in the "world" of it so to speak, I've always felt that Jeanne Crain doesn't get the attention that she deserves. She was an excellent actress, a great beauty, and had all of the charm, poise, and personality to be remembered as a great star of classic Hol<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">lywood.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The gown was designed by Rene Hubert, who was very adept at period styles, and designed for many of Fox's period movies throughout the 1940's. The Linda Darnell and Gloria Swanson gowns on the blog were also designed by him. Like a lot of the other great Hollywood designers, he moved effortlessly between period and modern day styles, and is today considered one of the great designers of Hollywood's Golden Age. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Turner Classic Movies and Bonhams have teamed up for the second year in a row to present a great auction of classic Hollywood memorabilia, including many pieces from "The Wizard of Oz" and "Casablanca" and a selection of great classic movie costumes... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I went to the opening night reception for the auction and took photos of many of the costumes to share on the blog. Usually the entertainment memorabilia auctions are in L.A. and I never get to attend to see everything in person, but Bonhams is doing these yearly TCM sales here in NY so it's great to be able to go. The auction has a large selection of great classic movie posters as well, many of which you'll see in the background behind the costumes. Robert Osborne was there and I got to meet him and have a nice chat. He's just as friendly and conversational as he is on the station. It's always nice when you meet a celebrity and they're as nice in person as you'd expect them to be! </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I took these photos at the end of the reception when the galleries were mostly empty so I could get the best photos I could. I took them with my phone so excuse the poor quality of some of them... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Most of the costumes are from MGM, either acquired at the historic 1970 MGM auction, or in the retail sale held afterward where thousands upon thousands of great costumes were sold... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First up are Laurel and Hardy suits from "Air Raid Wardens" one of the few movies they made at MGM. The Stan Laurel might also be worn in "Nothing But Trouble" from what the description says. It's rare to find anything from this great pair, arguably the most famous comedy team in Hollywood history... below is an image of Stan in the suit... </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Lou Costello suits... the tan is from "Lost in a Harem" and the blue from "Abbott and Costello in Hollywood" I loved this one as a kid, especially the cameo by Lucille Ball when Lou interrupts a scene she's filming. I'm so tempted to bid on one of these but I already have his bellhop jacket from "Abbott and Costello Meet the Killer, Boris Karloff" which I'll be posting to the blog at some point. It's one of my favorite pieces in the collection from one of my favorite movies of the pair. But these suits are awesome, I was so glad to see they survive! Many of the costumes in this sale have never been offered for sale before... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Judy Garland's velvet Edwardian style gown from "Easter Parade" designed by the great Irene, MGM's main costume designer during the 1940's, and before she had her own couture line of fahsion. She's known mostly for her suits and modern day styles, but this gown shows that she could design beautiful period styles as well. The cut of it is nice... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The velvet is a little worn, but costumes from her are always very desirable and I'm sure this one will sell for a lot! I've bid on costumes from her on five different occasions and have always been outbid, and most of the time I was the underbidder. She has a very loyal fanbase, and they really go the distance for her pieces... But someday I'd like to get something of hers for the collection, and preferably from MGM when she was at the height of her beauty and talent...</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There are three costumes from Deborah Kerr in the auction which is nice to see since costumes from her don't come up for sale very often. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First and the best is her green dress from "Tea and Sympathy" one of her more important movies, and designed by Helen Rose, MGM's head costume designer during the 1950's who mastered the art of the classic cocktail dress. Her styles are always very feminine and she always accentuated the figure of the star she was designing for to flatter them... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The color is a little faded but it still displays beautifully... Many times the costumes discolor completely due to the dyes that were used back then which change color over time, or just run out of the garment altogether. This one still looks good. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">There is a hole in the skirt which can be backed with a matching cream silk, otherwise this gown is a beauty, great on display... In the image you can see she's wearing a jacket, and at first I thought it was a separate piece, but a collector friend of mine pointed out that it's the same material as the bodice, and the bodice was probably made from the jacket for re-use in another movie since the part of the bodice that you can see on screen looks a bit different. As always the studios were very thrifty in re-using things in the wardrobe department. But as we collectors say, at least the costume survives, regardless of the alterations or condition. This one represents the elegance of Kerr. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It was nice to see this costume from the great Anne Francis. I've always enjoyed her on screen and I don't think she's remembered as well as she should be. Not only was she in a lot of nice movies during the 50's, but along with Angie Dickinson and Diahann Carroll she was one of the first actresses to have the leading role of her own TV show not playing a housewife, mother, or maid, when she did "Honey West" in the early 60's... The dress is in nice shape and is a classic 50's style... It was also worn by<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> dancer Helen Wood in the 1953 <span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">musical "Give a Girl a Break"<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"> al<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ongside Debbie Reynolds and Marge Champion. It's always fun to see costumes being re-used in othe<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">r movies<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">. The studio wardrobe departments often did that, usually mak<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">ing minor changes. In this case they added as sash around the waist which gives the dress more color. </span></span></span></span></span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The dress is made of a fine silk and it's great to see it survive, since being such a delicate piece to begin with, many times dresses like this just fell apart over the years sitting in the wardrobe department unlooked after for decades... This is the nicest thing she wears in the movie too. "Mogambo" is one of the early movies of her short career that she gave up when she became Princess of Monaco. I have two pairs of her safari pants from the movie that I'll be posting later on. I feel lucky to have those, if only I could afford this dress! It's a real treasure for any costume collection, since it represents her at the height of her beauty, and is a prominent costume in the movie. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This one is a beauty and is in excellent condition. It's black lace and chiffon over a burgundy silk. She wears it at the end of the movie during the dramatic finale. It was originally sold in the second auction of Debbie Reynolds' collection which was only a couple of years ago. If I was the high bidder on this great costume I don't think I would be parting with it so quickly! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Another costume from Rita which is one of the highlights of the sale is one of her signature gowns from "Gilda" </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The gown is a work of art by the great Jean Louis, one of the most brilliant costume designers in Hollywood history... He gave Rita a signature look, and did the same for other actresses at Columbia Studios like Kim Novak and Judy Holliday. The hand beading on this piece is really something, all against a fine silk crepe. Some of the beads are missing which can be seen in the photos but it doesn't detract from the beauty of this piece. It's common for these vintage costumes to have bead loss, since as the threads age and deteriorate, the beads fall off... My Gloria Swanson gown that can be seen in a separate post has the same issue. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This one has the highest estimate out of any of the ladies costumes at 40K! It'll be interesting to see what the hammer price is for this museum piece. It'd be great if a museum wound up with it... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This costume I was really taken with, a period frock coat worn by Laurence Olivier in "Wuthering Heights" designed by Omar Kiam who was one of the more prolific costume designers of the 1930's - </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I love collecting the vintage men's costumes, whether they be period like this coat or a modern day style. They're always so well made with nice wool and usually silk lined. Many times they also survive in much better condition then the ladies costumes since they are more sturdy to begin with. This one is made of a supple dark orange wool that has a herringbone weave to it. Aside from the hole in the sleeve it's in great shape. And the hole could be rewoven and you'd barely notice that it was there once it was displayed. I love that this is from such an early and important classic. It's one of those movies I saw early on and it stayed with me ever since. Not only is the story so haunting, but his performance, as well as Merle Oberon's and the rest of the cast is just great... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">June Allyson's gown from "Woman's World," and check out the great original one sheet from "The Women" in the background. I love that poster, the artwork of Crawford, Shearer, and Russell is awesome, and it's one of the great Hollywood classics...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The gown was designed by Charles LeMaire, Fox's head of wardrobe during the 1950's, and is made of a floral damask print kind of silk, really nice and rich looking... It's her main gown from the movie and is in excellent condition. She wears it prominently at the end during the dinner scene, and it's also seen when she goes to buy it at a dress sale with Lauren Bacall. I have the skirt suit she wears during that scene which I'll be posting another time... It's nice to see another costume of hers from the movie surface! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The bodice has been altered a bit with the flowers added, but they can be removed to bring the dress back to the way she wore it on screen. It's nice that she dances in it with her husband, Gower Champion. They were two of the best at MGM during the glory days of the studio's musicals... And it's a real classic style of the era. Even as a dance dress it has the classic Helen Rose look... </span></div>

It's easily the most important bathing suit of her long career of "swimming" musicals at MGM. The finale she wears it in is considered the most famous from her movies and it was also featured in "That's Entertainment." </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">First I have to say, congratulations to Maureen O'Hara for receiving the Honorary Oscar for 2014. It was just announced during the Academy's Governor's ball last week, and it's about time they honor her! She's had one of the most legendary careers in Hollywood history, beginning with the great "Hunchback of Notre Dame" in 1939, right up to "Only the Lonely" in 1991. She starred in many great classics during the intervening 52 years, and it's nice to see her finally get an Oscar for her career overall. This gown is from one of the many great period movies she made at Fox during the 1940's... </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here's another one of the highlights of the sale, a costume worn by Marilyn Monroe in "River of No Return" and designed by Travilla, who was Fox's main costume designer during the 50's and designed for most of Marilyn's movies. He gave her a signature look with the famous subway dress, and with the designs he created for her in movies like "Gentleman Prefer Blondes" and "How To Marry a Millionaire." This gown shows how adept he was at period styles as well... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">It's an amazing costume, and in great condition. It originally came from Debbie Reynolds, and she got all of her Marilyn costumes right out of 20th Century Fox studios back in the early 70's. They were in her historic collection for 40 some odd years after leaving the studio, so they were looked after and survive in great condition. Most of the Marilyn costumes she sold in the series of auctions of her collection, as well as her other costumes acquired directly from Fox were all in great condition. It's nice when one devoted collector like Debbie looked after these pieces for so many years and preserved them well. The intricacy of the sequins on this gown is so unique, and it displays beautifully. A definite museum piece! Marilyn is by far the most valuable star from classic Hollywood. Ever since her historic estate auction at Christie's more than a decade ago, her personal belongings as well as her movie worn costumes have continued to skyrocket in value... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Below are some of the great Munchkin costumes, and one of the flying monkey capelets - how cool is that?! Only for an all time classic like Oz can you see a costume worn by an extra and know immediately what it is! As many times as I've seen the movie and all the times I've seen pieces from it in auction or on display somewhere it never fails to impress... It's easily the ultimate of classic Hollywood movies, and the most sought after in the world of Hollywood memorabilia...</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">All of the costumes from Oz were designed by Adrian, MGM's desginer during the 1930's. The gowns he designed for stars like Garbo, Crawford, Shearer, MacDonald, etc. are very desirable in the world of collecting and rarely surface. He left the studio around 1940 to start his own couture line of fashion and even those pieces are very collectible today. He's arguably one of the most talented and innovative costume and fashion designers of the 20th century. And his incredible designs for Oz add so much to the movie. </span></div>

You almost wish it didn't have to come down after the auction! The "Casablanca" items were set up the same way... In this photo you can see the famous piano from Rick's cafe, played by Dooley Wilson "because my hair is curly" (I love it when he starts to sing this, lol), and where Bogart hid the documents... It's one of the most famous props in existence... Also on display is a lamp from the cafe, a chair, a screen, some of the outdoor furniture, doors from the cafe, and S.Z. "Cuddles" Sakall's tux coat... A lucky zillionaire could recreate half the set right in their home! </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">A Streetcar Named Desire is one of the all time classics of the silver screen, and one of the major films of the 1950's. It virtually began the film career of Marlon Brando, and ushered in a new kind of acting in Hollywood, what would become known as "method acting." It was destined for success simply because it was the film version of the great Tennessee Williams play, and all of his stories have been successfully brought to film, but it's the great performances that really drive the movie, especially those of Leigh and Brando. Kim Hunter and Karl Malden are also excellent in supporting roles for which they won Oscars, and the screenplay which Williams co-wrote is full of the kind of sharp dialogue and deep characters that he was known for. Elia Kazan directed the movie as well as the Broadway production, and he brought it to the screen without it having the feel of a stage play. Jessica Tandy played the role of Blanche on Broadway, while Leigh played the role in the West End, London production. Both were successful in the part, but when it came time to cast the movie, the producers wanted a "box office" name for the star role and chose Leigh. Her performance is amazing, proving once again how great an actress she was, a decade after she had turned in the performance of a lifetime in "Gone With the Wind." </span></span></span></div>

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Vivien Leigh was born Vivian Mary Hartley in 1913 in India to British parents and was raised there as well as in London by her mother, and also traveled extensively with her father throughout Europe. She showed an interest in acting early on after attending a boarding school for a time with future actress Maureen O'Sullivan. Her father enrolled her in the Royal Academy of Dramatic Arts in 1931, and in 1935 she made her first movie, "Look Up and Laugh". She also started acting in plays and made other minor films. She married for a short time which produced a daughter, Suzanne, as well as Leigh's stage name, which was her husband Herbert Leigh Holman's middle name. In 1937 she made "Fire Over England" where she first worked with future husband and love of her life Laurence Olivier. In 1938 she made "A Yank at Oxford" co-starring with her friend Maureen O'Sullivan, and it was shot in England for MGM.</span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Around this time casting was beginning for the role of Scarlet O'Hara in "Gone With the Wind" and Leigh and Olivier traveled to the U.S. for her to audition for the part. Selznick was impressed with her film work up to this time but was reluctant to cast her as a girl from the South since she was British. However, the rest as they say is history, since Leigh got the part and turned in one of the great screen performances of all time. Her portrayal of spoiled Southern belle Scarlet O'Hara is the driving force of the movie, and, like the character of Blanche Dubois has an intensity and resilience that glues you to the screen. It's hard to imagine any other actress having played the role of Scarlet, even though just about every actress in Hollywood at the time was considered. </span></span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In 1940 Leigh made "Waterloo Bridge" for MGM, co-starring Robert Taylor which was a great success. Then in 1941 she and Olivier finally teamed up again in the romantic drama "That Hamilton Woman" which was made in England by the brilliant Alexander Korda. It's a great production and she and Olivier are magnetic on screen in it. After beginning their affair in 1937, they had married by 1940 after each of them got divorced from their respective spouses. Theirs was one of the great romances of classic Hollywood... being a famous and glamorous acting couple they were always in the fan magazines and papers, and hobnobbed with the A list in Hollywood and Europe. They also continued to do movies and theater, together and apart throughout their marriage which lasted until 1960. </span></span></span><br />

<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">In 1945 she made "Caesar and Cleopatra" with Claude Rains, and in 1948 came the classic "Anna Karenina" with Ralph Richardson. Then in 1951 came "Streetcar", and in 1954 she was all set to do "Elephant Walk", when due to ill health she had to drop out and was replaced by Elizabeth Taylor. Her last few films were unimportant, ending with "Ship of Fools" in 1965. </span></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Leigh was known as one of the great theatrical stars of London's West End as much as she was known for her movies. She also worked on Broadway, winning the Tony Award for "Tovarich" in 1963. Her extensive theatrical work is one of the reasons that she made so few movies, only 19 in her career. It's because of her brilliant work in GWTW and Streetcar that she's considered such a legend of the silver screen today.</span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">After her divorce from Olivier she never remarried, although she had a relationship with actor John Merivale which lasted until her death. Throughout her life Leigh suffered from terrible bouts of manic depression and was later diagnosed as being bi-polar. This is what ultimately ended her marriage to Olivier who went on to marry actress Joan Plowright. Leigh also suffered from tuberculosis, which ultimately claimed her life on July 7, 1967 at the age of 53. </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Her natural acting ability, star quality, and stunning beauty will live on in the movies she made. So few actresses have made so few movies yet left such an indelible impression on the world... </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The dressing gown is made of blue chiffon with a pink chiffon overlay and has ruffles on the bodice and cuffs. There is also lace trim on the bodice in between the ruffles as well as near the cuffs. There is a small silk bow in the center of the bust, and the gown closes on one side with a snap. It originally also had a silk sash that she wore with it which is no longer present. I think there was also ruffle trim that ran along the bottom of the gown but was removed sometime after production. This piece was part of the Warner Brothers costume rental stock for many years and the ruffle may have been removed sometime then. The pink chiffon on the sleeves was also removed at some point, and the cuffs were shortened a bit when the gown had some restoration work done since they were very tattered. It's amazing that this piece has survived considering how delicate it was to begin with. It was also an unknown costume for many years until a resale company acquired it with other Warner Brothers wardrobe. They found that it was a Vivien Leigh costume by matching up the production number on the label to the movie. Here is an image of the label with the number "372", which is the number for "Streetcar". This same number can also be seen in the bottom right corner of the photos from the movie. From what I've seen over the years, Warner Brothers typically labeled all of their ladies costumes with the production number that was assigned to the movie. And sometime in the 1950's they began adding the actresses name to the label as well. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Lucinda Ballard was the costume designer for the movie, and she also did the costumes for the Broadway production. She was primarily a designer for Broadway and she won two Tony awards for her work over the years. She did design the costumes for one other movie, the classic fantasy "Portrait of Jennie". It's great that Warner Brothers brought her out to do the costumes for "Streetcar" since they were using as much of the original cast and crew from the Broadway show as possible. Aside from the great acting and writing, I think it's one of the main reasons why the movie worked so well. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">We first see her in the gown during the card game scene, throughout the famous "Stella!" portion and then the following morning. During the scenes, Blanche (Leigh) meets Mitch (Karl Malden) for the first time, has an altercation with Stanley (Brando), and talks at length with her sister Stella (Kim Hunter). </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The scene begins when Mitch gets up from the card game and meets Blanche for the first time. Shy at first, she asks him for a cigarette and then admires the silver case, all the while flirting with him. She then asks him to put a paper shade over a light bulb in the bedroom, and says one of her best lines in the movie... "I can't stand a naked light bulb any more than I can a rude remark or a vulgar action"... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">As the scene progresses, Blanche turns on the radio after Mitch has put up the paper lantern, so that they might have "enchantment" as she puts it, and they start to dance. This annoys Stanley and his card game, so he comes in and smashes the radio through the window. Stella gets angry at his behavior and a fight ensues, and then Stella, Blanche, and the upstairs neighbor retreat to her house. This is when Stanley so famously cries out "Stella!" once he's remorseful and wants her back. She goes back to him, much to Blanche's surprise who follows but is reluctant to go back inside the house since she realizes what's going on. At this point Mitch then talks to her again outside as she's in a daze, shocked and confused by the events of the evening... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The next morning Blanche comes back down to the apartment and finds Stella still in bed, in a happy mood from having spent the night with Stanley. Blanche has a heart-to-heart with Stella, trying to reason with her about how much of a brute Stanley is, and trying to come to terms with how Stella can even be married to him and pleads with her to leave him. During the conversation Stanley comes back to the apartment and overhears them without their knowing, and when he comes in to say hello Blanche is a bit frightened, thinking he may have heard her. Stella runs into his arms, and Blanche realizes that Stella will never leave him. Blanche is then left surprised and dismayed, knowing that she's alone. </span></div>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Linda Darnell wore this period gown in the 1946 Fox musical "Centennial Summer" </span></h2>
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">She starred alongside Jeanne Crain, Cornel Wilde, Constance Bennett, Dorothy Gish, and Walter Brennan. It was directed by Otto Preminger and featured Jerome Kern's music. The movie was a big Technicolor musical about a Philadelphia family during the late 1870's and the Philadelphia Exposition that was taking place at the time. It's been said that the movie was Fox's answer to MGM's "Meet Me in St. Louis" which was such a big hit two years earlier and had the same type of theme. But regardless of the comparisons, "Centennial" really shines on its own as a great family musical of the era... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Linda Darnell was one of Fox's top female stars in the 1940's and is considered one of the great "dark beauties" of Hollywood's Golden Age, alongside such stars as Elizabeth Taylor, Vivien Leigh, Gene Tierney, and Hedy Lamarr. (Stay tuned for costumes from all of these actresses which I'll be posting over time). </span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Darnell was born in Dallas, Texas and began modeling at a young age. She had a classic "stage" mother who wanted her to become a star, and it soon became a reality when Fox signed her to a contract when she was only 15. She made her first movie there in 1939, Elsa Maxwell's "Hotel for Women". She then went on to appear in one hit after another at the studio as they groomed her for stardom. She was featured most notably in "The Mark of Zorro," and "Blood and Sand," alongside Tyrone Power, followed by the noir classics "Hangover Square" with Laird Cregar, and "Fallen Angel" with Dana Andrews and Alice Faye. In 1946 she made "Centennial", and the following year she made one of her best loved movies, "Forever Amber" playing the heroine of the title, Amber St. Claire, alongside Cornel Wilde who was a frequent co-star of hers throughout the years, including in "Centennial." In 1948 she made "Unfaithfully Yours" with Rex Harrison, one of Preston Sturges' best and what is today a cult classic. She and Harrison make a great screen pair and play off each other beautifully with Sturges' great writing and direction. And then in 1949 Darnell made what is arguably her best movie, Joseph L. Mankiewicz's "A Letter To Three Wives" in which she starred again with Jeanne Crain, along with Ann Sothern, Kirk Douglas, and Paul Douglas. Mankiewicz's brilliant writing and directing really shine in this movie, and he really brought out the best in Darnell. It's widely regarded as her best acting performance. I'll be posting the one sheet movie poster and talking more about it in a future post. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">During the 1950's Darnell's career started to wane a bit as she made less important movies, which often happens as an actress starts to age and after her career has reached a peak. 1949 was definitely her peak, when after a decade of making movies at Fox she turned in her finest work in "Wives," and then wasn't given parts that were equally as good after that. However she continued to work steadily in movies and also did TV and stage work. </span></span></span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">In 1965 at the age of 41, Darnell tragically died in a house fire in the suburbs of Chicago where she was staying with her former secretary and friend. The details of how the fire started have never officially been known, but it's been speculated that it started from a cigarette that she accidentally left burning after watching "Star Dust", one of her early movies on TV late one night. It was also said that she was trying to save her friend's daughter who she didn't know had already escaped the house, and this is how she got burned so badly. She actually died from the burns sustained in the fire a few days after it happened. It was a tragic ending for such a vibrant and beautiful star who was once one of the most beautiful women on screen. Thankfully her beauty and talent live on in her work... </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">"Centennial Summer" takes place in 1876 during America's first "centennial" anniversary. It centers around the Rogers family as they go about their lives during the Philadelphia Exposition which is about to begin. Darnell plays Edith Rogers, one of the daughters of Jesse and Harriet Rogers played by Walter Brennan and Dorothy Gish. Brennan was one of Hollywood's great character actors and appeared in over 200 movies, and Gish was mostly known as a star of the silent screen along with her sister Lillian, but she made a few select sound movies later in her career including this one. Jeanne Crain plays Darnell's sister Julia and it was great to see them working together since they were both two of the most beautiful and popular stars at Fox during the 40's. Constance Bennett plays wealthy aunt Zenia, and like Gish was known for her earlier work in movies, most notably the great pre-code ones she did in the early 30's, but by this time she was doing select character parts. Buddy Swan who most famously played Charles Foster Kane's son in "Citizen Kane" plays Dudley, the younger brother, and Barbara Whiting, of the "Whiting Sisters" fame plays younger sister Susanna. William Eythe plays Ben who is trying to court Darnell's character. He was a contract player at Fox and his career never really took off, even though he was in some great movies there at the time. And Cornel Wilde plays Philippe, a temperamental French artist who is at the exposition preparing an exhibit. It's a very odd role for him and kind of silly in a way to see him playing this type of character with a heavy accent, but, great actor as Wilde was he did pull it off beautifully. It's just a very different role for him to say the least! </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "times" , "times new roman" , serif;"><span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Darnell wears the gown as the family is having breakfast and preparing to go to the exposition, as they all sing "Up With the Lark" and then as they take a carriage ride to and through the exposition, and meet up with Cornel Wilde... </span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Here is some detail of the back with the bows and ruffles. It needs a small bustle and some steaming but thankfully it's survived just as she wore it on screen with no alterations. Only a small amount of chiffon and lace trim at the bottom was removed at one point... not bad for a gown that is mostly eyelet lace and is over 60 years old! </span></div>

Hubert designed the costumes for the movie, and he was very adept at
creating beautiful period styles. Each one in this movie is like a work
of art, with great attention to detail. Even the men's costumes really
stand out, and there is a costume ball scene where he makes great use of
color. Hubert also worked extensively at Fox on other big period movies
like Darnell's "Forever Amber", as well as "Dragonwyck," "Moss Rose,"
"That Lady in Ermine," "Desiree," "Anastasia," etc. etc. Hubert came to
Hollywood through his friend Gloria Swanson. Please check out the post I
did for the gown he created for Swanson to wear in "What a Widow!" in
1930. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The gown is
mostly eyelet lace with lace and chiffon trim and blue velvet bows, and
has a great hourglass kind of shape to it. The entire gown has an
under-dress (or under-gown) that is sleeveless and made of a cream silk.
It serves as a base for the rest of the gown which would've been
see-through otherwise.</span> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">A costume from 20th Century Fox was typically labeled this way during this time, with what they called a "bias" label, because it would be sewn on the bias, usually along the inner back of the garment where it fastens or zippers. This was typical of a dress or gown. For a ladies suit or jacket it would usually be sewn into one of the sleeves. The label would have the actresses name along with the production number for the movie, which for Fox studios was always three digits. In this case the "479" on this label is the production number. It's not known what the numbers that follow represent, but I'm guessing it was the scene number as it was shot for the movie, or perhaps the number that was assigned to it by wardrobe as the costumes were being made. The stamped numbers have always been a complete mystery, yet most ladies costumes from Fox have a stamped number like this on the label. Western Costume Company made most of their costumes, especially during the 40's and 50's and this one was probably made there. Many remain in Western's inventory, some are in the archives of 20th Century Fox, and some have entered the collecting market over the years like this gown.</span><br />

"<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Terms of Endearment" is a beautiful portrayal of the relationship between a mother and daughter over the course of their lives... their loving yet strained bond, the ups and downs they face, and the men in their lives. MacLaine is perfect as the sassy yet wise Aurora, and Debra Winger plays her free spirited daughter Emma. It also stars Jack Nicholson as Garret, their next door neighbor who's also an astronaut, and who becomes Aurora's love interest. Jeff Daniels plays Emma's husband, and John Lithgow plays a banker who becomes close to Emma. Danny Devito is great in a small part as one of Aurora's friends and hopeful suitors. Everyone is perfect in their roles, the movie couldn't have been cast better... In addition to MacLaine winning the Oscar for Best Actress, the movie also won the Oscar for Best Picture, Nicholson won for Best Supporting Actor, and James L. Brooks won for writing and directing... All in all it won five Oscars at the Academy Awards of 1983 as well as many other awards that year. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I think what makes the movie work so well in addition to the fine acting, writing, and directing, is how easy it is to relate to. The story is very realistic and the performances are very natural. You feel as though you know these characters as real people. And when it starts to get very dramatic and the tears start to flow (this movie is a known tear-jerker), you get caught up in it because of how real the emotions of the actors are. It's just very well done. The movie was filmed entirely on location which is another reason why it feels very real. There's no glossy Hollywood-ness to it at all, yet it's still very well made. The music is also top notch, and the sets and costumes of course. Each character has a very distinct style and the clothes really reflect their personalities. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Shirley MacLaine was born in Richmond, Virginia and started taking ballet as a child. She went on to do theater in high school and then tried her luck on Broadway. She was in the cast of "The Pajama Game" as a chorus girl and was also the understudy for star Carol Haney. One night when Haney broke her ankle Shirley went on in her place and was a great success. A talent scout from Warner Brothers caught one of her performances and offered her a contract in Hollywood. She tells this whole story of how she was discovered in the documentary "Broadway, the Golden Years," and it's one of those great classic show-biz stories. The famous Broadway director Harold Prince mentions how everyone in the theater community was telling her not to go, that she'll miss the moment on Broadway since she was now an overnight success, but she decided to try Hollywood, and that was the start of her legendary movie career... </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">She began her career right at the end of the glory days of the studio system, her first movie was Hitchcock's "The Trouble With Harry," not a bad way to start... She's gone on to star in such classics as "Some Came Running," "The Apartment," "The Children's Hour," "Sweet Charity," "The Turning Point," "Being There," "Steel Magnolias," and "Postcards From the Edge," among many others. One of her little known gems is "Hot Spell" which she made with Shirley Booth and Anthony Quinn, a very well done movie that is too forgotten. She was also excellent as a supporting character in "Wrestling Ernest Hemingway" starring Robert Duvall and Richard Harris, another really well acted movie that is worth seeing... </span><br />

She's also done extensive TV and theater work, and is also know for the many books she's written about spirituality and her career. She's won practically every major award that there is in the entertainment world, including most recently the Kennedy Center Honor in 2013.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The
dress is made of silk with a floral and polka dot/stripe print, with
lace trim on the bodice, sleeves, and hem of the skirt. The top is a
nude silk and the skirt is cream silk, both with the same print. The
belt was made to match the polka dots in the print. The look of it is very much her character in the movie, a well-to-do proper Southern
lady. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The
costumes were designed by Kristi Zea, who also did the
costumes for "Fame" and "Silverado". She's most well known as a
production designer, having worked on "Goodfellas," and "Philadelphia",
among other films. Here's a link to her website... </span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The
dress was originally sold at Paramount Studios costume auction held at
Christie's in 1990. It was then sold at the store "Star Wares" sometime after that. It still has their hanging tags on the sleeve, as well
as the original auction tags which you can see in the photos. I've since removed them when I put the dress in archival storage. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The skirt was worn separately later in the movie when Shirley is returning to her motel after a long day visiting Debra Winger in the hospital...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's interesting to see it being worn a second time in a different way, I guess the same way any person would re-wear something in their wardrobe. At first I thought it was a mistake during filming that it was being re-used, but it does make sense. The scene shows how drawn she is from dealing with her daughter's illness, coming back to the motel tired and disheveled. She's looking over at her grandsons who are playing in the arcade. This scene is right after her famous "give my daughter the shot!" scene, which is probably the most memorable one in the movie. If you haven't seen the movie yet, definitely put it on your list! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's the story of a school teacher in 1860's Wyoming who owns land that is wanted by a corrupt local businessman, and how she fights back and also fights for women's liberation... Along the way she is befriended by the businessman's lawyer so that he can try and get her land, but of course they fall in love... It's a fun movie with a great supporting cast and can be watched on youtube. He wears the coat about 13 minutes in, and then again in a later scene... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">A 1941 studio portrait </span></div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Robert Preston began his career doing theater in Pasadena California,</span> <span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">after growing up in L.A. and attending high school there. A talent scout from Paramount Studios saw him in a play and signed him to a contract, and he went on to play supporting roles in many films for the studio during the late 30's and throughout the 40's. Most of the movies he did are forgotten today, aside from the ones he did with Cecil B. DeMille, like "Northwest Mounted Police" and "Reap the Wild Wind". He was also memorable in William Wellman's remake of "Beau Geste". Preston went out on loan to Universal to make "The Lady From Cheyenne", one of the few films he made outside of Paramount. He was also one of the many actors to leave Hollywood and join the Army during WWII. He was in the Army Air Corps and served as an intelligence officer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After his time at Paramount in the 1940's, Preston went to Broadway and began doing plays. In 1957 he was signed to play the role of "Professor" Harold Hill in Meredith Willson's "The Music Man", and the rest, as they say, is history... After working in Hollywood and on Broadway for almost 20 years, he achieved international stardom in "The Music Man" and immortalized the role of Harold Hill. What's interesting is that he had never done a musical in his life, yet he took to this role so brilliantly that you'd think he had always done musical comedy. He won the Tony Award for the role, and went on to make the movie at Warner Bros. in 1962. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Preston went on to do other Broadway musicals including "I Do, I Do" for which he won another Tony, and "Mack and Mabel" where he played movie comedy pioneer Mack Sennett. In 1974 he co-starred in the movie version of "Mame" with Lucille Ball, and in 1982 he made his last great movie "Victor/Victoria" with Julie Andrews. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"> *************************************************************************************************************************</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Vera West is credited for doing the "gowns" for the movie, which probably means that she designed Loretta Young's wardrobe exclusively. She was the head of the Universal Studios costume department in the early 1940's, so she probably had a staff that would design costumes for the male stars and supporting players. But, it's a possibility that she did design the coat, since Preston plays the male lead.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Western Costume made all of Universal Studio's wardrobe in the 1940's, at least most of it as far as I know... Even ladies costumes I've seen from movies made during the 40's at the studio bear a Western label. However very few pieces have surfaced from this time. I think most are either still at Western Costume or in the Universal Studios wardrobe department... </span> </div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here's another great piece from Edie Adams, a pink chiffon, heavily beaded dress that she wore in the popular "Adams Sisters" commercial for Muriel Cigars... </span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I love how she's playing triplets and with the three different wigs... It's very clever and well done for a commercial. It's one of the more well known ones that she did in the early 60's as the spokeswoman for Muriel Cigars...</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Edie began doing the Muriel commercials after her husband Ernie Kovacs died tragically in a car accident in 1962. He had been the spokesman for Dutch Masters, and the company approached Edie after he passed and asked her if she'd like to advertise the Muriel Cigar arm of their company. The venture wound up making her quite wealthy and a household name in the 60's. The money that she made helped pay back the tremendous debt that was left by Kovacs in the wake of his tragic death. Edie continued to advertise for Muriel until the early 70's... </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The dress is very well made, with a starburst pattern of gold beading at the bust, and small teardrop shaped beads throughout. It doesn't have a maker's label but appears to be custom made. I would assume that she had it made by a costume company or by a designer friend. Edie typically wore couture pieces by favorite designers such as Galanos, Mainbocher, Helen Rose, etc. But in her wardrobe collection there were also many pieces like this which she had custom made for specific things such as this commercial, along with stage costumes from her many TV, theater, and Vegas engagements... I wouldn't be surprised if she wore this dress on stage as well at some point... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Edie Adams wore this beautiful
beaded Galanos gown in the 1964 drama "The Best Man" which starred
Henry Fonda and Cliff Robertson, with supporting roles from Edie, Ann
Sothern, Margaret Leighton, Gene Raymond, Kevin McCarthy and Lee Tracy.
Quite a cast... It was based on the play by Gore Vidal, and he wrote the
screenplay for the movie. </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's a great story about
modern day politics, with two candidates (Fonda and Robertson) vying for
the presidential nomination of their party. It's really well done...
suspenseful, cynical, touching, and funny all at the same time. Edie
plays Robertson's wife, helping him as much as she can and standing by
him through the problems that he faces from opponent Fonda. It's such a
well written, well acted movie and I highly recommend it. TCM plays it
from time to time... </span>

<br /></div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Here's a link to the "TV Shows on DVD" website with an article about the set. It mentions how groundbreaking Edie's show was, in that she basically constructed it all herself - the skits, music, guest stars, sets, wardrobe, etc. were all overseen by her. She gave the show a very artistic edge, which was also innovative for early 1960's TV... </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">It's exciting to see the release of Edie's show and I hope it allows people to rediscover or discover for the first time how talented she was. She had an amazing career... winning the Tony award for her role in "Lil' Abner" on Broadway, and also co-starring with Rosalind Russell in "Wonderful Town". She was named "Miss Television" in 1950, and guest starred on many shows throughout the 50's while she continued to work on Broadway. On one episode of "The Perry Como Show," as she's saying goodnight with Como she mentions that she's headed straight over to the theater where they're holding the curtain for her. This was during the run of "Lil' Abner" so she was definitely working quite a lot... It was during this time that she met her first husband, the TV pioneer and genius Ernie Kovacs and started to appear steadily on his shows as well, singing and doing comedy sketches and impressions. In 1957 she co-starred with Julie Andrews in the famous live TV broadcast of </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Rodgers and Hammerstein's "Cinderella", playing the fairy godmother. Here's a great candid of Edie with Julie Andrews, Janet Blair, and Shirley Jones from around that time... </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">After Edie and Ernie Kovacs married in the late 50's, they moved to Hollywood for his movie career. Edie began one of her own after Billy Wilder asked Edie personally to play the role of Fred MacMurray's secretary in the Oscar winning classic "The Apartment". She then went on to make one hit movie after another during the 1960's, among them "Lover Come Back" with Rock Hudson and Doris Day in 1961, and "Call Me Bwana" with Bob Hope in 1963. This same year she also made "Under the Yum-Yum Tree" with Jack Lemmon, "Love With the Proper Stranger" with Steve McQueen and Natalie Wood, and perhaps her most famous movie, "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad, World" alongside an all-star cast...</span><br />

In 1967 she made one of her best movies, "The Honey Pot" with Rex Harrison, Susan Hayward, Maggie Smith, Capucine, and her former "Best Man" co-star, Cliff Robertson. It's an excellent movie, written and directed by Joseph L. Mankiewicz who also made "All About Eve" and was one of the best writer-directors in Hollywood. "The Honey Pot" is full of great dialogue and wit the same way "All About Eve" was. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Edie lost Ernie Kovacs to a car accident in 1962 which was a tragedy in and of itself, but another tragedy is that he left her with tremendous debt. She worked very hard to pay this off as well as raise their daughter together, along with Ernie's two daughters from his first marriage. It was during this time that Edie worked so extensively in movies, had her own show, and frequently guest starred on other TV shows and specials.</span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Around this time Edie also began doing the "Muriel Cigar" commercials which made her a household name and helped her attain financial security. In an interview on the Mike Douglas show in 1970, she mentioned how in a survey more people knew her name from these commercials then knew the name of the president! Pretty amazing. Later on I'll be posting a dress she wore in the "Adams Sisters" commercial for Muriel, one of the more well known ones from the early 60's. </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Edie continued to work in movies and on TV and also did many club and theater engagements throughout the rest of her career. She even had her own almond farm in the 1980's. In 1990 she released her autobiography "Sing a Pretty Song" which is a great read about the exciting, whirlwind life she had in show business...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Doris Day wore this silk floral print period dress in the 1952 Warner Brothers biopic "The Winning Team" which is the story of baseball great Grover Cleveland Alexander. Ronald Reagan played Alexander with Doris playing his wife, Aimee. It's a classic early 50's Warner Bros. movie, a light mix of comedy and drama with a dose of reality thrown in. It was directed by Lewis Seiler and is a lot of fun.

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Doris Day has become an icon of popular culture in her more than 50 years as a movie, recording, and TV star. She is probably best remembered for her movie career, beginning in the late 1940's and continuing until the late 1960's, but she began her career as a big band singer with Les Brown and His Band of Renown back in 1939. After becoming popular singing with his band, she went on to have a successful recording career with Columbia Records, recording 31 albums and hundreds of songs over the years, making her one of the most popular recording artists of all time. </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">In 1947 she began her movie career at Warner Brothers and quickly became a star. She has worked for every major studio, and just about every movie she's been in has been a box office success. The musicals she made at Warners in the late 40's and early 50's are the kind of feel-good movies that leave a smile on your face and are so much fun to watch today. Many were period musicals, like "On Moonlight Bay" "By the Light of the Silvery Moon" and "Tea for Two" with Gordon MacRae, and "I'll See You in my Dreams" with Danny Thomas. She also made non-period ones like "April in Paris" with Ray Bolger, "My Dream is Yours" with Jack Carson, and "Young at Heart" with Frank Sinatra. One of her most famous musicals for the studio was "Calamity Jane" with Howard Keel. In this movie she introduced the song "Secret Love" one of the best loved recordings of her career. At MGM she made the excellent dramatic musical "Love Me Or Leave Me" with James Cagney, where she portrayed Ruth Etting. In addition to all of the musicals, she is also known for her comedy films, like "It Happened to Jane" which she did at Columbia with Jack Lemmon, and "Teacher's Pet" for Paramount alongside the great Clark Gable. She was also very adept at dramatic roles, in fact one of her earliest roles was in the drama "Young Man With a Horn" in which she starred with an intense Kirk Douglas. Perhaps her most famous drama is Hitchcock's classic "The Man Who Knew Too Much" with Jimmy Stewart, where she introduced another song that has become one of her most famous, "Que Sera, Sera". </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Her movie career has been prolific, but she is probably best remembered for the sex comedies she did in the late 50's and early 60's. Movies like "That Touch of Mink" with Cary Grant (a favorite of mine), "The Thrill of It All" with James Garner, and most famously "Pillow Talk" with Rock Hudson. She's co-starred with many of the great leading men of classic Hollywood (like the many mentioned above), but her most popular leading man was definitely Rock Hudson. They had great chemistry on screen, and also made "Lover Come Back" and "Send Me No Flowers" together.</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">Even with all of the movies mentioned, there are still so many more worth watching. Doris Day is always a delight in any movie... her personality, charm, talent, and beauty shine bright... </span></span></span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">In 1968 Doris starred in her own TV series, simply titled "The Doris Day Show" which was a hit during it's five year run until 1973. It was around this time that she began her charity work in caring for animals, which has been a major part of her life since her days making movies. She heads the Doris Day Animal League - <a href="http://www.ddal.org/" target="_blank">http://www.ddal.org/</a> which lobbies for the humane treatment of all animals. In her later years Doris has continued with her charity work, and has been the recipient of many awards for her career, as well as the Presidential Medal of Freedom for her charity work. Even though she's still very sought after by fans and the press, she shuns the spotlight and has preferred to live out her retirement quietly in beautiful Carmel, California. </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span></span></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">This costume from "The Winning Team" is a turn-of-the-century style silk dress with a floral print and lace trim. It's a sheer silk, to be worn with a petticoat underneath. After Doris wore it the original collar was changed and the ribbon at the neck was removed. I believe the waist band was also changed since in the movie it appears to be darker and is shaped a little differently. It was typical for the studios to alter and change costumes for re-use. It's a miracle that this dress has survived as long as it has with no other alterations and in relatively good shape. Aside from yellowing due to age and some pulls in the silk, it still looks great. </span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Doris wears this dress in a scene where she and Ronald Reagan are attending a lecture at their local church. Gordon Jones, playing a baseball manager, interrupts the lecture looking for Reagan to ask him about his pitching abilities, and if he'd like to play in a league. Doris is very embarrassed and annoyed at the whole situation, and reprimands them both for being so rude during the lecture, especially when they start to throw pitches right outside the front door of the church! </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;"><span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-size: small;">The dress was designed by Leah Rhodes, who was the main costume designer at Warner Brothers from the mid 1940's to the early 1950's. Having worked under Orry-Kelly for many years, who was arguably the studio's most famous and best costume designer, she took over for him when he went into the service during WWII. At this time she started designing for all of the studio's top movies, among them "The Big Sleep", where she gave Lauren Bacall her signature look. Other important movies she designed for were "Saratoga Trunk", "Strangers on a Train", "White Heat", and "Key Largo". She also designed for many of Doris' other movies, such as "Tea for Two", "Starlift", and "I'll See You in My Dreams".</span></span></span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">As the scene progresses, Doris gets upset at the prospect of Reagan going off to play baseball for the summer, since he had promised that they would get married and buy a farm together. He tells her that with the money he can make playing baseball that summer, it would pay for their wedding as well as the farm... however Doris is still upset at his wanting to play baseball and goes back into the church... of course he does wind up playing, and they do get married as the story continues. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">This is the first ladies costume from MGM with more to come, a dress worn by Eva Marie Saint in the 1962 drama "All Fall Down" which she starred in alongside Warren Beatty, Angela Lansbury, Karl Malden, and Brandon deWilde. It's based on the book and play by William Inge, with the screenplay written by him, and was directed by John Frankenheimer. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: small;">Eva Marie Saint is truly one of the great actresses of 50's Hollywood, having started her career in 1954 in the all time classic "On the Waterfront" with Marlon Brando. She won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her role, and went on to star in other classics of the decade including the epic "Raintree County," the social drama "A Hatful of Rain," and most memorably, alongside Cary Grant in Hitchcock's classic "North By Northwest." It's perhaps her most famous movie, and she and Cary Grant were perfect together. It's widely regarded as one of Hitchcock's best and one of the great suspense thrillers of all time. In the 1960's she went on to make "Exodus," with Paul Newman, "All Fall Down," and "The Sandpiper," with her former "Raintree" co-star Elizabeth Taylor. She's also done a lot of theater throughout her career, which is actually how she got her start, and has also done a lot of TV work as well, guest starring in tons of shows and co-starring in many TV movies. She's also continued to make feature films, memorably playing Superman's mother in "Superman Returns" in 2006, and is currently filming "Winter's Tale" due to be released this year. She's had an incredible career that's spanned more than 60 years working in theater, TV, and movies. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">"All Fall Down" is a well acted and well filmed movie, a bit difficult to watch at times due to the subject matter, but the incredible performances make it all worthwhile. I don't want to give any of the movie away, but it's centered around a character played by Warren Beatty, and Eva Marie Saint plays a friend of the family who becomes his love interest. The movie is available through the Warner Archive and I highly recommend it. It's not the type of movie that will leave you with a smile, and the characters are very unsympathetic, but it's well worth watching if you enjoy great acting by a great cast. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Eva Marie Saint wears this dress in a scene where she joins Angela Lansbury and Karl Malden for breakfast, and she's in a very good mood. Soon after Warren Beatty joins them as well. She then goes to visit Brandon deWilde at his job, and they ride home together in her old roadster and talk. Their scene together is a poignant one in the story. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The dress is made of sheer white silk with a light purple / lavender print. The bodice is gathered to one side and the neck is V shaped. The skirt is gathered at the hips and back with a cord trim extending around, but is flat in the front below the waist. This gives the skirt a full look on each side and at the back. The collar is made of cream colored silk organza, which is stiffer than the silk of the dress. The dress has a matching white cotton slip that fits the cut of the dress perfectly. The silk is so sheer that it would be see-through otherwise. You can see the slip underneath the dress mostly at the bust. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The costumes for the movie were designed by Dorothy Jeakins who is perhaps most well remembered for her work on "The Sound of Music," "South Pacific," and "The Ten Commandments". She was never under contract to any one studio like many of the other more well known costume designers, but nevertheless she worked steadily designing for one major production after another, mostly during the 50's and 60's. She designed for the biggest stars of the day including Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner, Ingrid Bergman, and Barbra Streisand. She won three Oscars for her work, in 1948 for "Joan of Arc" and "Samson and Delilah," and in 1964 for "Night of the Iguana." What's interesting is that she started in Hollywood as an artist, and began her career doing sketches of Mickey Mouse for Walt Disney. Most of the other costume designers worked in fashion in one form or another. She approached costume designing from an artistic perspective which she summed up in this quote - </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The silk dress itself is not labeled since it's so sheer. Any label sewn into it would show through. Thankfully both the dress and slip stayed together in the MGM wardrobe department, and when the MGM auction and sale happened in 1970 the pieces were probably still hanging together on a rack and were sold that way. There is no production number on the label which is interesting to note. Around 1960 or so MGM stopped labeling the costumes with the production numbers as they had throughout the 1940's and 50's. And ladies pieces were typically labeled this way with what they called a "bias" label, being sewn alongside a zipper, or inside a sleeve, or along the inner waist. There was no rhyme or reason as to how they would sew in the label, but it was usually put in a discreet place. </span></div>

<span style="font-size: x-large;">Franchot Tone MGM costume from "Three Comrades"</span> </h2>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is the first of many MGM costumes that I'll be listing over time... a WWI German military coat worn by Franchot Tone in the 1938 drama "Three Comrades." The movie was based on the book by Erich Maria Remarque with a screenplay co-written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. He was under contract to MGM during the late 30's and tweaked the scripts of many of the studios films, but this is the only one that he received screen credit for. It tells the story of three German soldiers who were friends in WWI, and the course that each of their lives take after the war, with Robert Taylor and Robert Young playing the other two soldiers. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana";">Franchot Tone was one of the great leading men at MGM in the 1930's and was also married to Joan Crawford from 1935-39. He began his career in the theater, starting in movies in 1932 and becoming a big star early on. His most well known movie is probably "Mutiny on the Bounty" from 1935, co-starring Clark Gable. After he left MGM in 1940 he continued to make movies at other studios as well as in independent productions. One of my favorites is "Dark Waters," a great suspense/thriller from 1944 that he made with Merle Oberon. In the 50's and 60's he worked on TV and in theater as well as still making the occasional movie. He died of cancer in 1968 at age 63. He had an interesting life and career, it would be nice to see a biography about him someday. He'll always be considered one of the great leading men of 1930's film. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The jacket is dark green, basically military green, with red piping and brass buttons. All of the trim has been removed for use in other productions, as is often the case with military pieces. The epaulets, button on the front side, seal underneath the third button, and even the panels with three buttons on each sleeve have all been removed. All of the signs of where the trim was removed is there, even the pinhole where the button was removed from the front. It's nice to see all of that since it shows that the jacket matches to the one he's wearing on screen, even though all of the trim which makes it stand out is unfortunately gone. Military pieces from the movies usually look like this today, since they are typically re-used more than any other type of costume in all of the military themed movies that have been made over the years. Even the trim is re-used, added to another costume down the line. It's nice to see that this piece survived over the years... </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Here are some images of it with the top button and collar closed as he wears it in the movie. It wouldn't close on the form I took the photos on since it fastens pretty tight around the neck. The threads that remain on the collar are from when some other type of pin or patch was added over the years for use in another movie, then removed to be re-used again. The studio wardrobe departments were very thrifty!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">An MGM costume was typically labeled this way, with a printed Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer label, along with the actor's name and the production number written in. MGM had a chronological numbering system that they used throughout the years for each movie. For instance, it's well known that "The Wizard of Oz" was production number 1060, which began filming in the fall of 1938, the same year "Three Comrades" was released, and in looking at the two production numbers, it shows that 24 movies were produced between them. It's great that MGM utilized this type of chronological system. It makes it that much easier to figure out what movie a costume will be from. Other studios like Paramount and Universal for instance didn't always label their costumes with specific production numbers, so it makes finding a costume in a movie more difficult. All in all it's always a treasure hunt, and thankfully MGM's production numbers and the way they labeled their costumes make it a little easier. </span></div>

She was married to Frank Sinatra in the 50's and was known to be the love of his life, and was also married to Mickey Rooney and Artie Shaw early in her career. Her private life could've been a movie itself, showcasing her humble beginnings as a girl from North Carolina, her rise to stardom, and then the colorful life she led after she became a star at MGM.</span></div>

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">When Ava started at the studio in the early 40's it was mostly in bit roles, and gradually she started playing more prominent ones and then became a leading lady by the late 40's. It was in "The Killers" and "One Touch of Venus," that her beauty, talent, and star potential was really showcased, and ironically both of those films were made outside of MGM. By the early 50's she had become a top star, and was cast in leading roles of major films. One of her most famous came in 1953 in "Show Boat," one of the biggest musicals MGM ever made. They decided to overdub her voice for the songs, but fortunately footage survives of her singing "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man" and she's really very good, so good that you can see the studio made a mistake in not using her vocals. The footage can be seen in the third "That's Entertainment" movie. Although considered an MGM star, some of her greatest movies were made outside of the studio, among them "The Barefoot Contessa," "The Snows of Kilimanjaro," "The Sun Also Rises," and "On the Beach." </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana";">This piece came from Ava's estate, and she wore it a few times during the early 70's. It's made of white chiffon and is layered in three tiers with full bell sleeves which are also layered. There is a scarf made of the same material that is attached at the neck and is worn draped around the back. It's unlabeled which leads me to believe that Ava had it custom made.</span></div>

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">As simple as the piece is, Ava really looked like a million in it... below is the footage from the premiere of "That's Entertainment" showing Ava in the piece arriving at the event, and then at the famous gathering of stars at a dinner following the premiere. It was the first and only time that so many stars who worked at MGM were reunited, and they were all welcomed on stage to take a historic photo of the gathering. Luckily it was filmed too, and it's amazing to see all of them together. Ava is standing next to Charlton Heston who she starred with in "Earthquake" that same year. They may have even been filming it around the same time. Notice how Ava gets the biggest ovation :) She deserved it. And it's nice to see her wearing this piece in such a long clip. It begins after the scenes from "Showboat" ... </span></div>

<span face=""verdana" , sans-serif">A little about "That's Entertainment"... it was a big hit when it was released in 1974, showcasing many of the great musical scenes MGM filmed over the years and introduced by some of the great stars of the studio. Since it was made before the days of VCR's, let alone DVD's and other digital media, it was a thrill for people to be able to see these great scenes on the big screen again, and it also introduced them to a new generation. The movie was such a hit that they made a sequel in 1976, and a third installment which included a lot of behind-the-scenes footage in 1993. All three of the movies are on DVD and I highly recommend them. I've watched them many times since I was a kid. They were basically an education for me, learning about these great musicals that MGM made during the glory days of the studio.</span></div>

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">It's really the best film version of F. Scott Fitzgerald's classic novel, much better and more true to the book than the vapid 1974 version, and the heavily reworked recent version with Leonardo DiCaprio. This 1949 version starred Alan Ladd as Jay Gatsby, who was perfect in the role, along with Betty Field as Daisy, Ruth Hussey as Jordan, MacDonald Carey as Nick, Barry Sullivan as Tom, and a very young Shelley Winters as Myrtle. </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Ruth Hussey is mostly known for her work at MGM, in movies like "The Philadelphia Story," "H.M. Pulham Esq.," and "Susan and God." After her time under contract at MGM she worked freelance at other studios including Paramount, where she made "Gatsby" as well as "The Uninvited" with Ray Milland, which is considered her best movie. She had a refined beauty and a natural elegance about her that she brought to all of the roles she played. She always looked and sounded great on screen and was a delight to watch. Here's a nice article about her career...</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Paramount costumes designed by Edith Head were usually done to a high standard, and the 20's style dresses that she did for this movie all look great on screen. This one is made of black silk with nude chiffon on the upper bodice and with a black chiffon overlay. The skirt is heavily pleated and there is a pleated cumberbund type of wrapping around the waist. These are just amateur photos that I took of it. It really needs to be steamed out and on a form that fits it better, but you can see how nice the style is. It looks very elegant in the movie, complete with the pearls and wide brimmed hat...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The movie used to be on youtube and I had a link here to the scene in which she wears it, but unfortunately it was taken down. I did some screen grabs from the copy I have so you can see how she wears it in the movie... First when she and Daisy arrive at Nick's house during the rainy afternoon. Then Gatsby joins them, and Jordan gets Nick to leave and go with her to "run errands". When they go back out onto the porch (you can still see the rain falling in front of them in the screen grabs, which unfortunately make them even more blurry, lol) Nick comments that Jordan is driving Gatsby's roadster...A gift he gave to her for setting up the meeting with Daisy. It's a great segment in the movie, the casting was really well done, you can see it in scenes like this. And the music score is really nice too. Hopefully it gets posted to youtube again so I can link it back here... </span> </div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Lana Turner wore this great jumper / pantsuit in the 1959 Universal melodrama "Imitation of Life" based on Fannie Hurst's famous novel. It co-starred Sandra Dee, Juanita Moore, John Gavin, and Susan Kohner. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The movie was produced by Ross Hunter and directed by Douglas Sirk, and it has that glossy late 50's / early 60's look that Universal had at that time. Filmed in Technicolor, the sets, music, and costumes all reflect the era in an ultra-glamorous kind of way. Lana's "Portrait in Black" and "Madame X" have the same type of atmosphere, as well as other movies made at Universal and produced by Hunter such as "Pillow Talk" and "Back Street," and those directed by Sirk such as "Magnificent Obsession" and "Written on the Wind." </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">The costumes for "Imitation" were designed by the great Jean Louis. He was prolific in the 50's, designing cutting edge, high fashion style pieces for stars like Rita Hayworth, Judy Holliday, and Marilyn Monroe, all of whom he's identified with. He created Hayworth's famous "Gilda" gown, and the "Happy Birthday Mr. President" gown that Marilyn wore when she sang it to JFK. He also created Judy Garland's extensive wardrobe for "A Star is Born." He designed for many great Hollywood beauties and was married to one of the greatest, Loretta Young, for whom he designed for many years, most notably for her TV show. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">Jean Louis </span><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">also designed Lana's costumes for the previously mentioned "Portrait in Black" and "Madame X," and for all three movies his styles made her look elegant but alluring and even sexy at the same time. He had a knack for capturing a style that the character in the movie needed but that also flattered the actress playing the character, so that they always looked like a star. He gave actresses like Rita Hayworth and Judy Holliday a signature look which still makes them stand out today. </span><br />

<br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";">The jumper is unique and has a real classic Hollywood look to it. It's worn by Lana in a scene that takes place in the afternoon, when she comes down the stairs from her room to the bar in her house to talk with her daughter, played by Sandra Dee, and her boyfriend, played by John Gavin. She's become a big star at this point in the movie and always looks the part, so it's stylish yet casual at the same time since she's wearing it during the afternoon.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "arial";"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: "arial";">It's made of a tangerine orange raw silk with a satin line down each pant leg and matching bow at the end. Note the interesting cut of the neckline and shoulder area. It also has buttons down the back which, along with the cut of the piece itself, give it an elegant look.The matching belt is also made of the same color silk. It's a miracle that the belt has stayed with the costume all these years, because belts were typically used for other things and didn't necessarily stay with the original costume. The only extra piece she has on with it is a matching silk scarf that is looped behind the belt. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">This label was used from the 50's into the early 60's at Universal Studios, when they had merged with International Pictures. I have yet to find out how the costumes were labeled at Universal before this, since I've never seen one of their labels from the 30's or 40's. Very few costumes from that period in their history have ever surfaced. I think the studio may still have many of them. At least I hope they do since it would be nice if they were preserved! </span></div>

This film is arguably Lucille Ball's best dramatic performance, and it was her personal favorite out of all the movies she made. It's heartbreaking to say the least, but I don't want to give any of it away. Henry Fonda is also excellent, but it's really Lucy's film. This poster has some of the best artwork of Lucy that I've ever seen, along with the one sheet poster for the musical "Best Foot Forward" that she did at MGM a few years later. But the headshot of her on this poster is a real work of art. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Below are photos of it before and after restoration and linenbacking. The bleaching process took all of the dirt off and brought back the color, the tape was removed, some paper inserted where it was missing, mostly at the bottom of the "B", and some minor touch up work here and there. It's one of my favorites in the collection, and well worth having restored I think. The photos were taken with a flash, in person the colors are more rich and saturated... Enjoy... </span><br />

It starred Paul Newman and Joanne Woodward, and co-starred Ritter along with Eva Gabor, George Tobias, and Marvin Kaplan, with a special guest appearance by Maurice Chevalier as himself. It's a classic early 60's sex comedy, with Newman and Woodward playing total opposites who of course fall in love by the end of the movie. It takes place in the fashion world of Paris and is a lot of fun. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">She wears the dress for two scenes in the movie, when they're flying to Paris, which is a long and funny segment of the movie, and after they get there and go to the airport bar for a drink. The photo above is from the bar scene. I've been looking for other photos of her wearing it, so if anyone ever spots any please let me know! I'd like to get one of her wearing it in the previous scenes when she doesn't have the coat on. Here are some screen grabs of it...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana;">The dress</span><span style="font-family: Verdana;"> was designed by Edith Head who was credited for doing all of the costumes for the movie, as well as every other movie Paramount made between 1936 and the early 70's. However, today it is widely believed that Head only designed for the major stars, if even then, and it was her staff that designed most of the costumes. The dress is two piece, with the skirt and matching jacket made of a wool knit with a fine herringbone weave pattern. A black silk shell is attached to the skirt making it one piece, and the jacket goes over it with frog closures in the front. It's very elegant in an older lady sort of way. Thelma Ritter was usually cast in roles playing a maid or secretary where her wardrobe would be pretty lackluster. In this movie her wardrobe is much nicer and she looks like a million since her character works for a fashion company. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">A costume from Paramount Studios was typically labeled this way, using a small cloth tag with the studio's name printed on it in script, which is basically their logo. The same script writing of the name "Paramount" has been used since the studio was founded back in 1912. This costume also has "PAR" written in it, for "Paramount" of course, which is also seen in many of the studios costumes, even ones without a cloth label, or ones that are just stamped with a "Paramount Pictures Ladies Wardrobe" costume stamp. This one doesn't have the stamp, just the label and "PAR." There was no rhyme or reason to how they did it. Some costumes I've seen just have the "PAR", others have a named label or even a blank one, others have the wardrobe stamp, and others have all three! And then some may even have a dry cleaning tag with "PAR" printed on it as well as the label or markings. Paramount liquidated most of their vintage costumes through resale shops in Hollywood years ago, and in an auction at Christies back in 1990, so they do turn up, and the label/stamp/markings all indicate that it's an authentic piece from the studio. </span><br />

It starred Shirley and George Murphy, along with a great supporting cast including Jimmy Durante. Below are photos of it before and after it was restored and linenbacked - </span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Luckily the color was still good, but the poster had darkened overall with age, and the paper was becoming brittle which is why it needed to be linenbacked. There was also an extra set of fold lines which can be seen in the before photo due to it being folded in half an extra time long ago...the most popular reason for linenbacking is to eradicate the fold lines. Any authentic movie poster made before 1989 will almost always be folded, since this is how they were mailed to the movie theaters back in the day. It was after 1989 that they started to be printed on thicker paper and sent rolled to the theaters.

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Restoration of a poster usually entails soaking it in a chemical bath to remove the dirt and get the brightness and color back. Then it is adhered to Japanese rice paper, and then mounted onto linen. After that process, touch up of the fold lines is done, and any paintwork that might be needed within the artwork. This is the most delicate part of restoration, and it's best to find someone who is top notch in the field when you know that paint work will be needed. Paper is also inserted where some might be missing due to chips and tears. In the poster above you can see where the lower right corner was replaced. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana;">Most collectors prefer to get posters that don't need restoration, the ones that are in the best original condition always bring the highest prices. However once a poster reaches a point when it'll start to fall apart and continue to deteriorate, it's best to have the restoration done. This Shirley Temple poster was at that point, but I was happy to get it in any condition since posters for her movies have become more rare in the last 5-10 years. I think most of the ones that survive are in private collections. Thankfully this one is now preserved!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">This is one of the earliest Gary Cooper pieces that I've seen in the collecting market, and it originally came from the widow of someone who worked with Cooper for many years. It's a classic early 30's style blazer, made of a sturdy wool and is in remarkably good condition for its age. He looks very dapper in it... I can just see him standing next to a Duesenberg with one foot on the running board while wearing this! A great piece of classic 30's Hollywood. I'm so glad it survives... and from one of the great actors in Hollywood history and a personal favorite. I'm lucky to have this one...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">The classic check pattern made it easy to match up seams and places where the little squares meet. It's most notable in the darker row to the left of the pocket, as well as where it gathers under the breast pocket (both seen really well in the photos above); also where the slit is on the lapel for a boutonnier, and where the seams of the lapel meet the collar. Matching up every little detail is important when authenticating a movie worn costume... even when the label looks right and the costume does too it can sometimes be wrong. It can be an alternate, made for a stand in or stunt person, or just a fake... all points to take into consideration when buying or bidding on a movie costume. All of us collectors have seen all of the above many times and have bought some unknowingly. Even the auction houses and some dealers sell things that are incorrect. You can't be too thorough when authenticating a costume... research it as much as possible!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif;">Getting back to this Cooper, the nice thing about it is that it's not a studio or costume company created piece at all. Since it's from his tailor, it's a one of a kind made for Cooper exclusively. And luckily he just happened to wear his own blazer in the movie. The scene is fairly brief, so I'm not surprised that he shot it wearing his own clothes. What's really cool is that he took the nice portrait photos with Shirley and Lombard while wearing it... Having an authentic personal item from a star is great by itself, and having photos of them in it is great too since they can be really hard to find and sometimes don't even exist. But then seeing the star wear the piece in a movie is icing on the cake... </span><br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
********** </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
This is the earliest piece in my collection, for costumes or posters, so I thought it would make for a great first post. It's an art deco style gown with matching jacket worn by Gloria Swanson in "What a Widow!" made in 1930 by her production company and released through United Artists. <br />
<br />
In addition to being a great actress and movie star, Swanson was one of the leading fashion figures of her day, and was known for her sense of style throughout her life. This gown really reflects her glamour and the era it was worn in. It's actually pretty amzing that it still survives! It was sold at her estate sale in 1983 and has been looked after since then. And it's nice to know that she valued it enough to save it her entire life. Very few pieces survive from the silent and early sound films aside from what the stars saved themselves. <br />
<br />
"What a Widow!" is unfortunately now a lost film and one of the most famous among them, not only because it starred Swanson who's a superstar of the era, but because it was financed by Joseph Kennedy who had a well publicized affair with her at the time. Hopefully a copy of it surfaces someday. The movie was released internationally, and lost films have turned up in vaults in Europe before, so there's a possibility. Thankfully photos still exist, as well as this great gown. <br />

The gown is made of yellow silk with a floral print and there are tiny rhinestones in a scroll pattern within the flowers. It is also lined with a fine yellow silk. The sash is separate, worn tied around the back of the waist. The bottom train is cut asymmetrically, which is probably the most unique feature of the gown. It's very modern for its time and indicative of the late 20's/early 30's. The form that the gown is on in the photos is a little too high to see the effect of the train and the way it's cut at the bottom, but the photos of her in it show the effect. <br />

It was designed by Rene Hubert who was her favorite designer. She actually introduced him to designing costumes for films, the first one he worked on was her "Madame Sans Genie" in 1925. He continued to design for all of her movies up until she went into semi-retirement from movie-making in the mid 30's. He then went on to become one of the most well known costume designers in Hollywood, creating great designs for many classic movies. Among them are "Curly Top", "That Hamilton Woman", "Heaven Can Wait," "Forever Amber", and "Desiree", which was one of the last movies he worked on and one of the great period costume movies ever made. Much like Walter Plunkett, he was known for designing great period pieces as well as modern day ones, which this Gloria Swanson gown so richly illustrates. <br />
