Just ran across this photograph that Roddy McDowell took of the most gorgeous woman I deeply loved & adored, Jean Simmons. It was done right after “The Happy Ending” for which she was Oscar nominated. He gave it to me because it was my favorite of all her hairdos. ♥️❤️♥️❤️♥️❤️

My favorite costume designer was Orry-Kelly because he knew how to create simplicity. I was so thrilled in 1974 when I found Ingrid Bergman’s gown he did for “Casablanca”. After buying it w/almost all the money I had, it’s still in perfect condition after 50 years in storage.

Edith Head was indeed a very famous costume designer, probably the best known in the business, and did indeed design every costume you’ve ever seen of hers. She was my mentor. The only person who has more Oscars than she does is Walt Disney.

Two of the best guys I ever worked with who were never late for fittings and were always excited to see what I had next cooked up for them to wear next. I was really spoiled, but then, I deserved it after the plethora of whiny actors I had had to cow-tow to in my storied career.

The first of all the costumes made for the film. I called them “the Baskin Robbin’s collection” as I did everything in pastels because soft Fuji film was used for the past, & harsh Kodak film was used for the present to emphasize the difference of the aura between present & past.

Dean hated fittings; he had been through so many since a child actor. So, knowing how wrapped up he would be w/such a demanding role, I had the tailor-shop build a form for him & they made up my designs. I would have them delivered to the set, sight unseen. He NEVER gripped once.

I saw this dress over 50 years ago and it was WHITE. There was no yellow to it. What you are looking at is a dress that has yellowed over age because it was NOT vacuum sealed or wrapped in acid free tissue to protect it. Edith had it in her Universal office when I first met her.

Another sketch of Scott Bakula as Man of La Mancha from the “Quantum Leap” series I did, “Catch a Falling Star” that I sent out as a Christmas card. Various auction houses want this costume & sketch right now, but haven’t decided. It depends on who they have that would love it.

There are no words to express the loss & sadness I feel w/Dean Stockwell’s passing. I had always admired him & was totally overwhelmed when he turned out to be one of the kindest, talented, nice people I would ever work w/in Hollywood. There aren’t that many I can say that about.

More from “Mae West” that’s available on Roku. It was nominated for Emmy Best Costume Design. Mae alone had 66 changes in the film and sings and dances six times, one of which is the classic, “Easy Rider”! “When women go wrong, men go right after them.”

She was not only a sensational talent on stage or film, she was the nicest, sweetest, kindest actress/dancer/singer one would ever hope to meet. Never met a dancer who wasn’t. They work their asses off, yet are rarely ever temperamental. I’ve worked with some of the best.

I’ve seen a lot of hard-boiled babes in my life, but this one is 20 minutes. Take a close look at that pillow face, coated w/pancake makeup to hide her terrible acne. And what a fright w/those stenciled eyebrows. The hat kills the noise from the marbles banging about in her head.

But colder than a witch’s teat in person. Obstinate, indecisive, temperamental, loud, obnoxious &thought she was “it” when she was nothing but a pain in the ass. I left the film because of her &they went through 8 other CDs after me trying to please her. No one ever did, though.
