    You were completely unprepared. You had no knowledge of her or her work, this was an opportunity to showcase a legend and you prattle on like a school girl. Didn’t you understand you had a job to do, and you should be a professional? Did you have any training? She held her temper, you both were completely insulting and a waste of her time.

I thought you were the epitome of late 70s media glamour and loved your eye contact. Wish the clipboard wasn't there but production wasn't as sophisticated then! The comment below about you not treating the subject matter justly is unfair. This wasn't some academic lecture...but an intro to Edith and her local appearance, geared toward housewives probably!

    B Wayland and you are an expert on the history of costume and fashion, because???? The word genius is so easily used these days for anybody who is famous. Head was a working costume designer who created appropriate costumes for the films she worked in. She was NOT however, a "genius." Balenciaga, Chanel, Rei Kawakubo, Charles James, Adrian were/are all geniuses within that medium. Edith Head was adequate. There were many far better costume designers if you understand the history of either fashion design and/or costume and Cinéma. You sheeple on You Tube have no idea, seriously!

    How funny and also very strange that she predicts that fashion will become part of the key to success in the 1980’s and how right she ended up being. Status, style, and displayals of wealth characterized the yuppie generation very much. She was on the money with that one.

    The progenitor of style, fashion and a bona fide genius of every aspect of attire. She is the example of how one becomes the best. You should see her work for Shirley MacLaine in the movie "What a Way to Go". It is a fashion show of the elite. BTW, Hedy Lamar was also a scientific genius who was instrumental in creating technology that was useful in WWII.

    I also thought this seemed like a wasted opportunity. Edith could have really given so much thought and information but was constantly being interrupted with questions about the temperament of actresses and how to look slim. There's so much research that goes into designing costumes. You have to know your history, art, theatre, psychology, film, fashion, fabric, and the practicalities of sourcing materials. That's before even having to communicate that with a team of wardrobe assistants. It's not professional to gossip about who you've dressed. Everything must be handled with respect.

    I'll never forget when Donny & Marie Osmond had their talk show...Marie asking Jean Stapleton to say 'Archie'! in the high Edith voice. Jean looked at her point blank and said NO! The look on Marie's face was priceless..she did not know what to say next looked like she had been slapped in the face. She realized she had messed up big time and went directly to a commercial. Why she thought Jean was such a low level star that she had to do that is beyond logical thinking. All talk show hosts want to make a name for themselves by getting someone to dump dirt shock statement or F-bomb on live tv.. hoping to get into media next day.
