EDITH HEAD
THE OSCAR-WINNING COSTUME DESIGNER MADE
HOLLYWOOD EVEN MORE GLAMOROUS

1924, Edith Head arrived at the film studio which would become Paramount Pictures to interview for a costume sketch artist job.

"Struck dumb with admiration for anyone with such diverse talents, I hired the gal on the spot," recalled chief designer Howard Greer in his memoir.
