Interesting trivia; Edith Head appeared as herself on an Episode of Columbo in January of 1973, complete with her collection of Oscars on her desk. Columbo asks "is that the woman from the academy awards?" Anne Baxter's character has Edith find a more fashionable tie for Columbo. In real life, Anne Baxter and Edith head were friends, and the latter had dressed the former in the Ten Commandments.

Edith Head would win 8 Oscars in her long career. The ironic thing is, she lobbied very hard for the Academy to create the best costume design category in 1948.

Pete Falk almost never gets comments about how much sex appeal he really had - so cute and coarse and 'street classy'; a real dream boat. Check him out in 1976s 'Griffin and Phoenix" opposite the divine Jill Clayburgh where he plays a role against the type he was mostly playing at that time.

The thing about Miss Ross is that if you see her without make-up and gowns, she's what in vulgar terms is known as 'plain' - but ah, that is the secret! Replace 'plain' with 'tabula rasa' and you have the answer...if you check her out in some of the shots where she is in Bob Mackie's gowns in the 70's or ANY frame of "Mahogany" you see how stunningly beautiful she is...then god back to "Miss Plain" and then you REALLY see how beautiful she is.

Edith won more Oscars than any other female. This was her last. Still I wish it would have gone to Moss Mabry who never won and had his last nod that year. Thank you for posting winning moments again. I was afraid they had stopped. Eagle eyed viewers can see Edith pass former winner Maximilian Schell on her way to the stage. She also passes the great icon Francois Truffaut who won an Oscar that eve for DAY FOR NIGHT. Any chance you can post that? Keep up the good work!

LOL....You don't know "The Academy"? Edith Head won because her body of work as lead costume designer for over 40 years at MGM & other studios that thought after her relentlessly for important film projects. LOL....The same reason the Oscar (The Academy) went to Liza Minnelli for "Cabaret" and not Diane Ross for "Lady Sing The Blues" YOU HAVE TO PAY YOUR DUES BEING THE BEST OF THE BEST AND AT A GIVEN MOMENT LIKE "EDITH HEAD" YOU GET YOUR "OSCAR" Diane Ross didn't have the patience & stamina!

@michaelkarnerfors9545 3 жыл бұрын

Just search for "Edith Head" "The Sting" and you end up with images of the signed designs by Edith. The others were consumers, not designers.

@johnyzero2000 3 жыл бұрын

@@michaelkarnerfors9545 Those designs were illustrations done by sketch artist Richard Hopper and she just signed her name to them. Ask any professional costume designer and they will tell you the same thing. Edith Head didn't design the Sting, she was used as a promotion since her name was well known.

She was an iconic fashion model. She helped contribute to the "MOD" fashion era. She was very slight of frame. She became a celebrity as a result. She used to appear on TV shows of the era and could act a bit and tell a good joke. I think she was on "Laugh In" at least once.

I think Edith used to say that the most important thing for costumes is that they help the story that the film is trying to tell. To that extent I think the costumes in "The Sting" were spot on.
