    That might be the first time that I have seen a photo of her where she is smiling! Their home looks as if it were a wonderful place to be…It looks familiar to me and I am wondering if it still exists…? Hmmm…

    I loved waking up to that Google art! I always had a soft spot for Edith Head and only because my grandmother was a tailor who worked in Chicago and was offered a job working on costume design for the movies and turned it down. hah

    Dearest V
    How absolutely perfect and utterly envy making at once… but the jealousy passes and one is left with only admiration.
    Yours ever

    You know the white dress in A Place in The Sun…that was by Head and it launched a million prom dresses.

    Google didn’t think it was worthwhile to give us Edith Head down this way. Humph!

    I was thrilled to see Edith Head on Google. It was an awesome graphic they created for her day.
