Head, Edith. Edith Head’s Hollywood. First Edition. 1983. Book and dust jacket are both in good condition—minor edgewear to jacket. Co-written with Paddy Calistro.
This exceptional autobiography on the career of the legendary Paramount costume designer was completed after Edith Head’s death. Her contribution, about one third of the book, appears in italics, interspersed between explanations and comments by fashion journalist Paddy Calistro. That it was necessary for Calistro to finish the book actually makes it more comprehensive than it would have otherwise been. There are many pages of illustration and photographs, containing images of Edith Head’s designs for Barbara Stanwyck, Elizabeth Taylor, Jane Fonda, and many others.
