    I had the privilege of meeting her once. She had a meeting schuled at Universal studios. There's no mistaking the dark bob haircut and black round rim glasses. I did get to tell how much I loved her work. She is one of those most talented and amazing ladies of her time. There will never be anyone like her. She is truly missed.

    I WISH the Smithsonian would open up an entire building totally dedicated to Hollywood's Golden Years with period sets, costumes, furniture, paintings, etc. Much of this is lost forever, but some studios and private colletors purchased items at the MGM Auction of 1970 and other auctions. These precious and priceless items have been recklessly destroyed, given away, for way too long. It is time to give them the credit due.

    After seeing the clothes up close. You see how high fashion they are and why so many stars kept their clothes. Like Paris fashion. And no matter what is said about who did what. You have to give it to Ms. Head. She had an eye for fathom and was gifted and many fashion houses have lots of people working for them.

    So happy this popped up today for me to see! I would draw gowns on the margins of my homework in the 70s. I ended up a floral designer. So many years of black and white movies great to see in color. I’m loving this exhibit! Thank you very much for sharing this 😇

    It's wearable art, produced in batches of ONE. The ultimate haute couture. Such skilled artisans.

    I find it interesting that the clothes appear to be different on camera and different when you look at it today.
