Re: [MOPO] Gilda dress

2011-07-10 Thread David Kusumoto 

As a big-time Rita nut - another mis-understood and oft-over-looked tidbit 
about that shiny dress - is that at least one was dark emerald green in color - 
and not black - with greater reflective properties for black-and-white 
film-stock.  Color publicity photos distributed in '46 show the dress being 
roughly the same color as how it appears on the window card poster.

Another, additional, "fun fact:"
To be able to wear the dress, Hayworth had to wear a corset, because just a few 
months before she had given birth to her daughter, Rebecca, and had not yet 
regained her pre-pregnancy figure. In addition to the dress, Jean Louis made a 
harness, worn under the dress. The harness consisted of rigging - one under the 
breast, one in the middle and one on the side. In addition, the soft plastic 
had been molded around the top of the skirt.

had the label "property of Columbia Pictures" and "Rita Hayworth" sewn 
inside.[5] The initial price was estimated between $30,000 and $50,000, but the 
lot was withdrawn before it reached the auction.[6][5] Later, in September

Dear Bruce Because of the kind of dress that it was, Rita literally had to be 
taped into it every day before shooting started.  It was that tight.  It is a 
virtual certainty that it fell apart and was not saved. Unless a spare one was 
made, just in case, and not used. But it was such an expensive dress that I 
really doubt that. Walter
