Edith Head: The Fifty-Year Career of Hollywood’s Greatest Costume Designer ….by
Jay Jorgensen (Author)
All About Eve. Funny Face. Sunset Blvd. Rear Window. Sabrina. A Place in the Sun. The Ten Commandments. Scores of iconic films of the last century had one thing in common: costume designer Edith Head (1897-1981).
“The golden age of Hollywood sparkled with glamorous stars and extravagant cinematic productions. Costume designer Edith Head won five Oscars and epitomized-along with actors she clothed such as Barbara Stanwyck, Grace Kelly, and Audrey Hepburn-the star quality of these heady days. Jorgensen (editor, Peterson’s Photographic magazine) captures a behind-the-scenes look at the world and work of this dedicated, prolific artist. He includes background information and gorgeous color photographs and illustrations of the costumes she meticulously designed. While incorporating biographical information about Head, Jorgensen focuses primarily on the clothes, which perfectly personified the characters in films like All About Eve, Roman Holiday, and Sunset Boulevard.” Fabulous!
