  S1E13: Barbara Streisand- Hello Dolly

  Sep 7, 202552 minS1

  <p>This week we are discussing the 1969 Movie Musical Hello Dolly starring Barbara Streisand. Costumes are designed by Irene Sharaff, who Coleen has dubbed the queen of musicals. She did not design costumes for Dolly on Broadway, but she did get an Oscar nomination for her film designs. We also discuss the 6 Hello Dolly costumes in the collection, and the Sharaff illustrations that inspired the acquisitions. Lots to discuss and we hope this could inspire an Irene Sharaff costume exhibition in the future!</p><p>You can see more images of this costume at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠costumesofhollywood.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</p><p>For more info and updates, follow us...

  S1E11 Charlton Heston: Ben Hur 1959

  Aug 24, 202549 minS0

  <p>This week we are discussing the 1959 film Ben Hur starring Charlton Heston. But first, we have a lot to say about libraries and how much we love them. Then we get to talk about this epic film filled with stars, over 300 speaking roles, and 10,000 extras. Elizabeth Haffenden had her hands full with these costumes. Good thing they gave her the Oscar. Also, if anyone knows all about 18 karat boullion trim, please get in touch; Coleen has questions :)</p><p>You can see more images of this costume ⁠costumesofhollywood.com⁠</p><p>For more info and updates, follow us on Inst...

  S1E10 Rosalind Russell: Auntie Mame 1958

  Aug 17, 202546 minS0

  <p>This week we are discussing the 1958 film Auntie Mame! starring Rosalind Russell. Larry and Coleen are excited to talk about these Orry-Kelly costumes, and all the fun changes in this movie. We also speculate dramatically about why Orry-Kelly wasn't nominated for an Oscar this year, even though Auntie Mame! was nominated for 6 others. We hope you enjoy, and we encourage you to run, not walk to your nearest streaming service offering a screening of this one.</p><p>You can see more images of this costume at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠costumesofhollywood.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠</p><p>For more info and updates, follow us on Instagram @costumesofhol...
