Love the first image! The women are fabulous! Such style!
Marion Davies was a real beauty and quite a comedienne in the early days…
Clothing and dressing have been in decline since the end of WWII.
Suits, ties — and tailoring made all the difference. Most male stars of the early era brought their tailors with them on set and most of early costume design was for the actresses.
Oh I bet Carol Burnett was in 7th Heaven on Cloud Nine to be with Tony and Cary! What a treat for the little girl who grew up just a few blocks from Hollywood Blvd.
She probably saw them on the big screen when she was an usherette!
OH I know. I read her book and she talked about when she was a little girl seeing from the sidelines Linda Darnell enter a theater at a premiere. Darnell stopped in front of her and Carol became fixated on looking up at her nostrils. She thought they were the most beautiful nostrils she had ever seen.
She also can recite the entire dialog of “Ivanhoe” because they piped the sound into the lobby when she worked at the theater.
