“To say there was only one Edith Head is an understatement. As the movie industry’s most well-known costume designer (her career spanned 1923 to 1982) Head worked on more than 750 movies, received 35 nominations and won eight Oscars – more than any other woman. For 44 years, she was the fashion queen of Paramount Studios’ design department. And she ruled her empire with a royal fervor. In a world where the Hollywood power brokers were men, Head proved to be one tough cookie, staying on top of her field with cunning, ruthlessness and skill.”
