<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">I have always loved the MGM movie series with Judy Garland and Mickey Rooney
and this particular musical number where he portrayed musical cabaret and film
star Carmen Miranda. The musical sequence begins with "Bombshell from
Brazil" sung by Judy Garland and a host over others and then moves into
the song "Mama Yo Quiero" where Mickey Rooney sings and dances in the
costume. And ends with the wonderful cry “Hey Ma!”. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Exactly three months ago I was proud to experience the opening of this, my first major exhibition of original screen used film costumes all sourced from my personal collection of vintage film costumes. The exhibition opened at the Museum of Brisbane in November 2014 and runs through to the end of May 2015.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As at last weekend the exhibit has had over 100,000 visitors! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please come see this amazing exhibition before it closes and exclusive to Brisbane. The exhibit features costumes worn by stars including Judy Garland, Grace Kelly, Fred Astaire, Ginger Rogers, Lucille Ball, Elizabeth Taylor, Bette Davis and Marlon Brando. Gloria Swanson's pink silk nightgown from Sunset Boulevard makes an appearance, as well as a two-metre wide ball gown from the 1938 film, Marie Antoinette, and swimsuits worn by Busby Berkeley synchronised swimming queen, Esther Williams. There is something for everyone!</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have loved Hollywood and the Golden Age of film for as long as I can remember. I think it’s a family thing. I grew up watching the classics, had them discussed around me and was taught about the stars and star systems. I also have an aunt and uncle that owned a movie cinema, the Dawn theatre at Chermside and was able to see the film growing up and at a very early age. In fact it was there I saw ‘Gone With The Wind’ for the first time on the big screen. The Theatre has sadly gone but the dreams it created have remained with me. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As a teenager I used to write to the stars and received replies with signed photos and letters. As a result I ended up collecting autographed photos and signed documents of the golden age of film. It was in 1995 that I entered the costume side of collecting. I was about 25.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It all started with a catalog of entertainment memorabilia from Christies auction house sent to me in 1995. The catalog was predominantly signed photos of the stars however the last few pages of the catalog contained screen worn costumes and props. I was enthralled at the idea of being able to own something that was used in film and worn on screen. Well I was hooked from then on and started to research and read all I could find on the history of collecting costume. Up until this time, I had no idea that you could even collect or own these kinds of treasures.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Costumes are to me, works of art. They are pieces of art to be treasured. There are so many facets that go into making a costume, from the design phase, the designer, the materials, the period of the costume, the workmanship that the final result on the screen appears effortless. I have always had a lot of respect and admiration for the costume designer and the art of costume design.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In reality, costumes were not made to last. They were made for a single purpose being to dress the star in order to perform their role on the screen. After that, the role of the costume had ended. It is really because of a handful of collectors who very early on, saw the importance of these pieces as treasures and really as part of cinema history that they have been recognized and preserved. It was always the concept of a piece having been made for film, having come from the studios, having gone through the film process up to the final part of that process being its final use on the screen. In the last few years I have felt it was time to display the costumes and that perhaps this could become a reality. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I think that treasures such as these need to be enjoyed and not tucked away in their boxes. I have always urged collectors to make the effort of taking them out and putting them on display on any scale so when I was approached by the Museum of Brisbane it was like a dream come true. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><span style="text-align: justify;">The next room takes visitors into another area I collect with a passion which is the period costume. As a collector of vintage film costume I am drawn to these period because I love the designs, the workmanship and the costumes tell a story and at the same time really just look amazing! I am also interested in the interpretation that the studios had on history and the thought process the designers and </span><span style="text-align: justify;">the studios placed on period costume in the context of something that would appeal to the star who wore it as well as the public.<br /><br />Visitors are greeted with Elizabeth Taylor's wig from 'Cleopatra' together with Richard Burton's impressive robe from "Alexander the Great". This is followed by a selection of costumes from a film I love "Desiree" made at Fox studios in 1954 and starring Marlon Brando and Jean Simmons. Here you get to see two costumes worn by both and from the same scene.</span></span></td></tr>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The pieces I have from the 20th Century Fox film ‘Desiree’ for example were pieces I have bought over a number of years. I first bought the Marlon Brando gold vest for example many years ago and then the red velvet jacket that went with the vest came to sale and I was able to reunite those. I hope that one day the pants come around too.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In terms of the garments worn by the lead character ‘Desiree” I now have five Jean Simmons Desiree gowns, which I think is a remarkable thing to be able to say. When they left the studios in the 70s and 80s and were spread across the US, I don’t think there was ever the chance that they would be brought back together again unless someone made the conscious effort to do it. Over the 20 years of collecting I have managed to find the five, If another came to market again, I expect that I would try for it!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have a pair of boots that were designed for Judy Garland to be worn in the film “Annie Get Your Gun”. Garland was dismissed from the production and replaced by Betty Hutton so only the costumes and little of the original filming remains in terms of Garland and the film. I was lucky enough to pick up the boots on eBay. It was just one of those cases of right place and right time and a very unexpected treasure.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My favourite costume is a red velvet two piece costume with fox fur trim worn by Barbra Streisand in the 1968 Columbia Pictures “Funny Girl”. I love it for many reasons in terms of the design, the look, how it appears on screen and of course who wore it. The gown is amazing to look at as a collector, it is also in great condition and displays well. The gown also came direct from Ms Streisand herself when she sold many of the costume pieces she had collected over the years. The money raised from those sales went to the many charities that Barbra is associated with.</span></div>
</div>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />I love the MGM musicals so those pieces that are connected to that part of the studios history are special to me like the Ann Miller from “On The Town” worn in the title sequence and seeing Ann Miller in the costume dancing around legends like Frank Sinatra and Gene Kelly. </span><br />

The other amazing musical connection I have is the red swim suit worn by Esther Williams in “Million Dollar Mermaid”. The sequence of Williams coming through the red coloured smoke has been something that stayed with me when I first watched the MGM film documentary “That’s Entertainment” so many years on it is a thrill to have been able to acquire this amazing treasure.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have a costume in the exhibit worn by Judy Garland in the 1948 MGM musical ‘Easter Parade’. It is such a wonderful film and the costume is worn in two great production numbers, the ‘Fella With An Umbrella’ song and “I love a Piano’. Whenever I watch the film I am amazed that I have such a wonderful piece from an MGM musical classic.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />The collectors I have met over the year’s area amazing. I have also been lucky enough to come into contact with some of the collector greats and they have been an inspiration. Those who were not only at the original sales, but those who saw the magic and importance of collecting after that time and some who continue to find, restore and preserve these treasures. Debbie Reynolds for example.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />It is to the collectors of yesterday who the collectors of today owe a great deal. If it weren’t for them, the majority of these treasures would no longer exist. The sad reality is that these treasures will one day be no more. Fabrics and textiles will eventually deteriorate and disappear. Mabye not in our lifetime or the next, but eventually. Until then each collector does his or her bit to preserve and conserve until it is time to pass on to the next collector.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />
I hope to continue to collect and preserve what I can and to continue displaying the pieces for the public to enjoy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />As long as the collecting still lights a spark in me and as long as I continue to get that thrill when a new item arrives then I will keep collecting and preserving what I can. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br />Costumes from the Golden Age of Hollywood. On now until May 24 2015!</span><br />

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">The costume is
embellished with gold applied crowns, artificial pearls and gold lamé trim and
bows. This is an amazing example of what really went into fabric choices for costumes in black and white film and what was really lost to the general public going to see these films and not getting the full effect of these unbelievable colors.</span></div>

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At the 1934 Academy Award the film won all five of the big categories. The film won Best Picture, Best Actress, Best Actor, Best Director and Best Screenplay. The Anniversary party therefore proved to be a big event. It was at the time the first picture ever to sweep all five awards.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Even these miniatures are highly sought after and collectible. </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">OK and a quick costume connection...when Clark Gable starred in this film, he took his shirt off to reveal shock and horror, no undershirt! Well fashion precedent was set and sales plummeted in mens undershirts for years. It wasn't until Paul Newman took his shirt off in 'Hud' to show he was wearing one, that sales finally returned. True Story.</span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">The gown of striped blue and cream satin with lace floral accents
has a very full skirt and self collar. Helen Rose who created this costume designed for many MGM greats
including Lana Turner, Elizabeth Taylor, Grace Kelly and Doris Day. This is
very Helen Rose in terms of its design and at the same time very what you would
expect Lucille Ball to dress in for the 1950s. It’s a great piece.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Lucille Ball costumes are rare and do not come to market often. When they
do come up they are much sought after. </span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">This was also the first
film that both Ball and husband Desi Aranz would make together. MGM studios
were wary at first of making a film with the married couple based on the fact
that the public could watch them both for free on television with the ‘I Love Lucy’
series, which was continuing to be made and aired at the same time. </span><br />
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><br /></span>
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">They had
nothing to worry about and the public turned out in droves to see the picture.
In fact the film went on to make more money than the current highest earning
comedy at the time, which was ‘Father of the Bride’. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

The Long, Long Trailer is a movie based on a novel and tells the story of a couple who purchase a travel trailer home and spend a year travelling across the United States. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
The film is best remembered for the wonderful sight gags and situation comedy moments that Lucy was best remembered for on her shows. The dangerous mountain road and manoeuvring the giant of a trailer is one of those scenes.</div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">When sound was added to film, it was possible to recreate the biggest
musical hits for a wider audience. At first the movie musical fed eagerly on
Broadway’s brightest talents. Stage-bound productions were recreated ever more
lavishly. Soon Hollywood began to develop its own style, adapting plays or
books, or even starting with original ideas. But the biggest stage hits still
became even bigger movie hits. In recent years the flow seems to have reversed.
Over the past decade an increasing number of popular stage successes have been
developed from well-loved movies as Broadway explores the movie back catalogue
for new ideas.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

I love this film very much and wanted to include it in the exhibit to show the move from origninal film, to musical theate with La Cage and back again with this version of the much loved story. Here are Nathan Lane and Robyn Williams costumes from "The Birdcage" 1996 and costumes by Ann Roth.<br />

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Keeping up with the modern, from "Connie and Carla" in 2004 is a costume worn by Toni Colette as Carla. Costumes were designed by Ruthe Meyers. The run away story after witnessing a murder was the centre piece to "Some Like It Hot" which was what this film was based on. I love everything about this film.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">“Wet she’s a star, dry
she aint”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Many people have been
attributed to have said this of musical swim star Esther Williams. It was in fact Fanny
Bryce who quipped this of the great swim star. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Of course Esther
Williams was perfection in the water, however she could do it all, and act,
sing and dance a little, but it is for her 16 water ballet extravaganzas at MGM
that she is and will be best remembered for.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">Esther Williams has
said of her life that she could not remember a time when she wasn't in a swimsuit.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>There were hours and weeks and years of
competitive swimming-and magic movie swimming.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">As a teenager she broke swimming records and would have been destined
for Olympic game fame but for the outbreak of war. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It was during the time she took on a role with Billy Rose’s Aquacade and
working with Johnny Weissmuller himself that she was discovered by MGM and
placed in a few small roles opposite some of the major stars of the day. MGM
chose to separate her talent for swimming and to use this as a platform for
Williams and introduce the world to a series of unforgettable aqua musicals of
the 1940s and 50s. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">It should be said that no one has ever tried to do what Esther Williams
has done on the screen. As a performer and as a genre, and never was there a challenge made. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Dancers would try
to better each other, singers the same, no one tried to be a second Esther. And
for thirteen years she did it well.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>In fact for the years 1945 to 1949, Esther had at least one film listed
among the 20 highest grossing films of the year.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">The costume is constructed of a coral satin finish silk. The bodice has
princess line neck with zigzag pattern extending over the bust. The suit is
panelled to be tight fitting and has a short skirt made of diamond shaped
panels. The shoulder straps are made of flesh coloured nylon net and elastic to
create a strapless look. The bodice and skirt are heavily decorated with sewn
on silver and purple sequins while the body of the suit is randomly scattered
with silver and purple sequins. Low cut V at back and centre back zipper
fastening and a small metal hook and eye. The whole costume is lined with light tan
coloured nylon. The costumes for the film were designed by the incomparable Helen Rose.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">The costume is designed in a green wool crepe period style with velvet
leaf decorations. The costume was designed by famed MGM designer Adrian. Adrian
was responsible for costuming many great stars as part of his career at MGM
including Greta Garbo, Joan Crawford, Norma Shearer and Judy Garland. He is best
remembered for his costume designs in “The Wizard of Oz” (1939) as well as many
other Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer films of the 1930s and 1940s. My personal favourite
is the gowns he designed for “The Women” also in 1939. He designed costumes for
over 250 films.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">A wonderful period costume from an MGM film classic.<o:p></o:p></span><br />
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><br /></span>
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;">I recently found out (and a big thank you to James for finding it) that the costume was used again some years later by character actress Florence Auer in the 1949 MGM film "That Forsyte Woman" where she played Ann Forsyte Heyman. It actually gets more screen time in this film than it did in 'Gaslight". I believe that the costume appears in another film as well around that time. It is amazing to see how many times that costumes were reused! Here is are two pictures of Ms Auer in costume.</span><br />
<span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-AU;"><br /></span>

Here is another amazing and for me breathtaking gown from one of my favourite films. In it Julie Andrews portrayed the life of English theatre and musical star Gertrude Lawrence in the 1968 20th Century Fox film “Star!”<br />
<br />
This stunning costume is comprised of a black ostrich feather covered silk gown with beaded shoulder straps and matching ostrich feather jacket.<br />

The costumes were designed by Donald Brooks who produced over 3,040 individual costumes for the film and a whopping 125 outfits for Julie Andrews alone. Still considered a record in terms of costume changes for one star in any film.
Julie Andrews costumes for the film cost an amazing $750,000 in 1968 dollars.<br />

The costumes were executed by Western Costume Company who took ownership of the costume collection after filming.
These costumes were then rented out on many occasions over the next 20 years.
In the early 90’s as part of a clean out, Western Costume began a series of auctions through then auction house Butterfields and Butterfields.
Donald Brooks was nominated for an Academy Award for 'Best Costume Design' for his work in this film.<br />
<br />
The costume also appears on the cover of the DVD.<br />

Here is an elegant evening gown worn by Julie Andrews in the 1969 Paramount film “Darling Lili”. Costumes for the film were designed by Donald Brooks.<br />
<br />
The costume consists of a golden silk-faille and chiffon gown with thousands of decorative rhinestones, bugle beads and diamantes sewn into an elaborate series of panels, which adorn the gown. The gown is low cut and quite heavy.<br />

Darling Lili tells the story of a World War I music hall performer who doubles as a German spy. The film involves Andrews using her charm to obtain secrets from an American pilot played by Rock Hudson. The story is a variation on Mata Hari but with a happy ending.<br />

The costume was designed by Donald Brooks who also designed for her in “Star!” The film was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Costume Design. Brooks, deigned for both stage and screen as well as the fashion industry. His preference was to design for the stage. He won a Tony Award for his costumes in the Broadway musical ''No Strings'' and three Oscar nominations.

Darling Lili was produced and directed by Blake Edwards, future husband to Julie Andrews. The film was plagued with problems including interference from the studios. It received poor distribution by Paramount however despite setting box-office records at Radio City Music Hall, the film was a flop.<br />

Julie is noted as having said of this production "I'm trying to be very still in this one, Lili isn't a lady who is bouncy. She's somebody who's cool and in perfect control, and then gets all gibberish". It was unlike her other roles to date.<br />

<br />
Julie Andrews herself has said that it was never Blake Edward’s intention to make it as much of a musical as it became, but if you are going to have Julie Andrews in a movie, why not make her sing as much as possible I say!<br />

A faded silent movie star, Gloria Swanson plays Norma. The film also stars the legendary director Erich Von Stroheim who plays Max, Desmond’s butler.<br /><br />Swanson was indeed one of the great stars of the silent era. Swanson worked at Paramount Pictures and with Cecil B DeMille. For a time she was the highest paid star in Hollywood. In that respect she was born to play the role. Some say that the role was based on another silent film star, Norma Talmadge. The similarities however happily end there. The scene in which she appears with DeMille (who plays himself) and meeting Desmond after a long absence is a heart-warming one in terms of their history and careers. DeMille refers to Desmond as “Young Fella” in the scene, a name he lovingly created for Swanson.<br /><br />Several of Desmond's lines, such as, "All right Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up," and "I am big, it's the pictures that got small!" are widely remembered and quoted from the film.<br /><br />The film has also been talked about for its film noir cinematography which is of course dark.<br /><br />From this film classic is a pink chiffon nightgown was worn by Gloria Swanson.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiyTyUhpXSHV05inljcp1ssYs3w2y01N_qoEEKWaUkZK0_R8Syi29y041mRiJo5hb4bBam2XPy4-HiKb1wMeLSC2FZuPIMydGp0N84MNnwqvus4nMXJ7FbcAbBguYAe25CMDzVYVJEECWw/s1600/swansonfinal.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block;

In collaboration, Billy Wilder, Edith Head and Swanson agreed that Desmond the character would have kept up to date with trends and styles in fashion, so Edith Head designed costumes closely resembling the Dior look of the mid-1940s.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCQIbEQ58MbvyUw-3tRTnM-_EZu7J0XgQ6RaO0OL9w2XC2h7tzU5Nug5ITm6AV-WZOKzE0uh_6VB5ddn0UVndqwcrGzPbHjL1dF0DStmkOy_VRwAN9AFIz1e7zdM8HRPl_erxjAZ-v5vc/s1600/Screen+shot+2012-01-01+at+2.41.40+PM.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 343px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhCQIbEQ58MbvyUw-3tRTnM-_EZu7J0XgQ6RaO0OL9w2XC2h7tzU5Nug5ITm6AV-WZOKzE0uh_6VB5ddn0UVndqwcrGzPbHjL1dF0DStmkOy_VRwAN9AFIz1e7zdM8HRPl_erxjAZ-v5vc/s400/Screen+shot+2012-01-01+at+2.41.40+PM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692575474877243762" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1ohotSytbT8epAdkpY8Cha1kIxzE55yUgYOcGhn7eJKEwagJoIUEELKL41m4dDBh66wlb6VsySpYGSH91dZw9TX4z41IVU1TeHncCZbNNVOKh1rDw_hUjIywa-wAxfX2R0Fo4zZY_5Mg/s1600/Screen+shot+2012-01-01+at+2.42.00+PM.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 275px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi1ohotSytbT8epAdkpY8Cha1kIxzE55yUgYOcGhn7eJKEwagJoIUEELKL41m4dDBh66wlb6VsySpYGSH91dZw9TX4z41IVU1TeHncCZbNNVOKh1rDw_hUjIywa-wAxfX2R0Fo4zZY_5Mg/s400/Screen+shot+2012-01-01+at+2.42.00+PM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692575614256125154" /></a><br /><br />Edith Head in later years discussed working on the film as being "the most challenging of my career,". The approach she gave to the task was explained as "Because Norma Desmond was an actress who had become lost in her own imagination, I tried to make her look like she was always impersonating someone." Edith Head would also rely on Swanson's expertise as in her words, Swanson was the past that was being recreated and Swanson lived that time.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsNpPG4Ny2DfOA4b8Xr2fZy4Y3HGQS3eXlhKMziiwasU-iBQcaqxIAAF7iwN_1FNTp_JgShcjl2wyQnl9GAWEYJqU93hBI7WXb3XklXtyAe_V5sDbZtMPFHFLaZ6juzMBVdqFUIO4USAA/s1600/Gloria+Swanson%252C+Sunset+Boulevard%252C+Billy+Wilder.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhsNpPG4Ny2DfOA4b8Xr2fZy4Y3HGQS3eXlhKMziiwasU-iBQcaqxIAAF7iwN_1FNTp_JgShcjl2wyQnl9GAWEYJqU93hBI7WXb3XklXtyAe_V5sDbZtMPFHFLaZ6juzMBVdqFUIO4USAA/s400/Gloria+Swanson%252C+Sunset+Boulevard%252C+Billy+Wilder.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692576145430762178" /></a><br /><br />Edith Head also designed the costumes for William Holden and the minor characters; but for authenticity, Wilder instructed Von Stroheim and Nancy Olson to wear their own clothing.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGolZG3TCDfJakxMfqLmQWB4xnKB-l-1I_WUUMQ1OR7-KuGw12pkji3JVi3UImpNFv-2mYpceIdowsoxOazT-eZV8B2rOQIf4MSP_D_DCOo4qWahIzSot_OjT2kz7DhPKwrlEyjZZq3_Q/s1600/Screen+shot+2011-03-28+at+12.05.16+AM.png" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 261px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhGolZG3TCDfJakxMfqLmQWB4xnKB-l-1I_WUUMQ1OR7-KuGw12pkji3JVi3UImpNFv-2mYpceIdowsoxOazT-eZV8B2rOQIf4MSP_D_DCOo4qWahIzSot_OjT2kz7DhPKwrlEyjZZq3_Q/s400/Screen+shot+2011-03-28+at+12.05.16+AM.png" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5692576447273336930" /></a><br /><br />The costume can be seen in two sequences in the film. The first is Joe Gillis’ first day at the Desmond mansion when he finds his belongings have been moved from his apartment and into her mansion. Norman tells him “he will like it here” and the wonderful line…”Do you want this job or don’t you?”…yes he wanted the job but at what price. The costume comes in at 12.38:<br /><br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/EasK3qhZnLQ" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br /><br />The second scene it is worn in we get to see the more manic, delusional and shall we say psychotic Norma when she believes that her script of Salome is to be made by Paramount and Cecil B DeMille. In the scene she is saying good night to Joe and at the same time accusing him of going out. Joe tells her he hasn’t done anything to which she replies…’of course you haven’t, I wouldn’t let you”. The costume comes in at 1:08:<br /><br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/VqUV-LPyadY" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br /><br />And here is the original trailer for the film:<br /><br /><iframe width="420" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/UwxGbhclIGw" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen=""></iframe><br /><br />The theme of the film is best summed up in the closing monologue of Norma..<br /><br />“I can’t go on with this scene, I’m too happy. Mr. DeMille do you mind if I say a few words? Thank you. I just want to tell you all how happy I am to be back in the studio making a picture again. You don’t know how much I’ve missed all of you. And I promise you I’ll never desert you again because after ‘Salome’ we’ll make another picture and another picture. You see, this is my life. It always will be. There’s nothing else.

Little known is that Hepburn herself considered this to be one of her personal favorites and is reported to have one said that she defied anyone to be as good as shoe was in the character of Jo. Hepburn considered her personality to be like hers and that part suited what she described as her exaggerated sense of things.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQyLJqUcHfccfP9egUCMPeCMWYtEtBhe_qJU-C9bkyxUnyLupQOuSD6Xv-gZmJBW26BPaN9CJ7iS6Y0QlfcJZQMh5HGkN4lPj37MffvRQRCqRaaGkq-mGxyP0Q6n6BMXx1QHA679RaefE/s1600/Little+Women1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 267px; height: 400px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQyLJqUcHfccfP9egUCMPeCMWYtEtBhe_qJU-C9bkyxUnyLupQOuSD6Xv-gZmJBW26BPaN9CJ7iS6Y0QlfcJZQMh5HGkN4lPj37MffvRQRCqRaaGkq-mGxyP0Q6n6BMXx1QHA679RaefE/s400/Little+Women1.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5650619364248456626" /></a><br /><br />The costume is worn by Hepburn in the scene where she visits on her neighbour Laurie played by Douglass Montgomery.

The costume can be seen in the video below and comes in at 6:20, sorry I could not find an English version on youtube:<br />

<br />
The gown is also worn in the next scene where Moses visits his real mother. The costume is worn under a robe for that scene.<br />
<br />
Slightly altered from its original use, the clasp to the front was changed for use in another production. Not worked it out yet.<br />

I was lucky enough to also come across the bracelet that is worn by Foch in the scene with the costume and managed to get them back together again. Below is the bracelet.<br />

Costumes for the film were designed by an array of talent available to Paramount at the time including Arnold Friberg, Edith Head, Dorothy Jeakins, John Jensen and Ralph Jester. Added to this are at least 20 more talents that were not credited to the final work. With an epic such as this, the task of costuming not only stars such as Nina Foch, Anne Baxter, Charlton Heston and Yul Brynner but thousands of extras with filming in the US as well as in Egypt.<br />

Indian born Merle Oberon is arguably Hollywood’s first Indian Actress. Born in India, she obscured both her birth lineage which was probably part Eurasian by claiming she was born in the Australian state and Island of Tasmania, a story, which in the last years of her life came to be confirmed as untrue. <br />
<br />
The story of her life is itself a plot for a movie and indeed was the basis of the 1987 miniseries “Queenie”. Oberon tried so hard to live the lie of her birthplace that she even visited Tasmania on two occasions throughout her life. The guilt of the untruth finally got to her and she revealed it is understood that it was a falsehood. <br />
<br />
That aside, Merle Oberon was a brilliant, vivacious and very appealing screen actress. She has graced the screen in some very memorable roles including that of "Cathy" in Wuthering Heights (1939). Before that she enjoyed a wonderful career in British film in classics such as The Private Life of Henry VIII (1933), and The Scarlet Pimpernel (1934). <br />

<br />
The costume came from the famous Western Costume Company and was auctioned as part of the great Western costume sales which took place in 1993.<br />
<br />
Oberon’s has director Alexander Korda to thank for her career and indeed when went to herself become Lady Korda in 1942.<br />
<br />
Her career continued until the end of the 1940s when it declined to only a few appearances in film. A great shame, as she really is a wonderful actress.<br />

With songs by Lerner and Lowe, the film is set in turn-of-the-20th century Paris and tells the story of high society, marriage, mistresses, lovers and a girl named Gigi.<br />
<br />
Gaston a wealthy bachelor, bored with life, takes interest in Gigi in a different way as she slowly become groomed as a courtesan and learns etiquette and charm from her Aunt Alicia. These scenes in themselves are charming and very funny.<br />
<br />
Eventually after a few failed attempts he ends up falling in love with a matured Gigi. <br />
