Edith Head is probably the most iconic of all Hollywood costume designers. Beginning in the early 1930s until her retirement in 1977; Edith Head costumed the stars of over 500 films. With 35 Academy Award nominations for Best Costume Design; she won 8mdash;the closest to come to her record is Irene Sharaff; who garnered 15 nominations and 5 wins. Edith Head truly surpassed all of her competition. Audrey Hepburn; Grace Kelly; Natalie Wood; Lucille Ball; Barbara Stanwyck; Mae West; Elizabeth Taylor; Doris Day; and Katherine Hepburn are just a few of the female stars Head dressed; both in character and as themselves. And winning her last Oscar for The Sting in 1974 meant that her designs for male stars; explicitly Paul Newman and Robert Redford; were superb as well. Her style acumen stretched from the exotic; historical costumes she designed for Samson and Delilah and The Ten Commandments to the classic; timeless costumes she designed for Roman Holiday; To Catch a Thief; and Sabrina. This book is a sampling of Edith Headrsquo;s most famous work.

I wish her path hadnt been changed for her; but now I know the full story of where she went.It was also great to see how she got her start and rediscovered herself along the way. If you were ever a fan of the Runaways or Lita Ford; you owe it to yourself to check out this book.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful.

Worth the waitBy LemmyrulezLoved the book; well written and has the highs and lows. Ive been a huge fan of Litas since her start and seen her in concert many times. Her current personal issues are heartbreaking and her ex is a POS. I hope for the best.Fun fact; she is my hall pass
