Edith Head designed this incredible pink fur cloak for the Twentieth Century Fox (now Twentieth Century Studios) film ๐พ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐พ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐! Although Head was primarily associated with Paramount Studios, the star of ๐พ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐พ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐!, Shirley MacLaine, was important enough to be able to request Head be borrowed to work on the film. Her request was granted, and Head created this memorable costume for MacLaineโs character, Louisa May Foster. The budget for the film was one of the biggest that Head had ever been given, exceeding half a million dollars. โIn case anyone has forgotten, that was a damn fortune in the early 1960s,โ she says in ๐ฌ๐ ๐๐๐ ๐ฏ๐๐๐ โ๐ ๐ฏ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐ . This solves the mystery of why a Paramount designer worked on a Fox studio production, but what about the mystery of how this incredible piece wound up being worn by Ann-Margret for promotional photos for the 1965 MGM film ๐ถ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐ป๐๐๐๐? Itโs possible that after ๐พ๐๐๐ ๐ ๐พ๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ฎ๐! ended, that this costume made its way to a rental shop, such as Western Costume.
