A Conversation with Edith Head

I was online yesterday, when I came across a notice for a one-woman show called "A Conversation with Edith Head". I am soooooo getting tickets for this show! I just hope I'm not too late.

The blurb says "This show offers behind-the-scenes stories about Hollywood's greatest stars from the woman who worked on more than 1,100 films and dressed the greatest stars of Hollywood. During her career, Head won eight Academy Award and was nominated for 35." It didn't say where the material is derived from, whether it's fiction or from personal diaries or papers. But I'm still excited to see the show. It doesn't start for another week so I've still got time to track down tickets. Wish me luck in hunting them down!

Edna Mode vs. Edith Head

I don't know how many of you have seen the movie "The Incredibles". If you have, then you will recognize Edna Mode. It is said that Edna Mode was modeled after Edith Head. What do you think? I'd have to say that it's a pretty close call. They look VERY similar but I think that if they were in a fight, Edna Mode would win because she has all kinds of neat gadgets built into the super suits she makes. But I'd have to say that Edith Head was a fashion GENIUS and Edna Mode was just a genius.

Edith Head was a genius!

Edith Head may not have looked like she had much fashion sense herself but that woman was a genius! I would have to say that she was the best costume designer to ever live. I watch alot of old movies. I love them. I adore them. I especially like to watch any old movies with Audrey Hepburn or Doris Day. I always watch the opening credits (they're always at the beginning instead of the end on old movies) to see if Edith Head did the costumes. If she did, they will always be guaranteed to be amazing!
