More Details
- Summary:
- "She dressed Hollywood for decades, working as the costume designer for an incredible 1,131 films. She was a household name at a time when those who worked behind the scenes usually stayed there. Edith Head capitalized on Hollywood's star culture to become a celebrity in her own right. The diminutive designer cultivated the clientele of actresses like Grace Kelly, Audrey Hepburn, Natalie Wood and Shirley MacLaine to increase her own notoriety, and she routinely spent more time promoting herself and her clothes than she did creating them."--Http://www.aande.com.
