JEAN HARLOW

A star-studded tribute to one of the behind-the-scenes contributors to film. Eight time Oscar Winner Edith Head. The famed costume designer who died in 1981 was fondly remembered with a gala fund-raiser in New York City. Head dressed the likes of Jean Harlow, Mae West, Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly and Ingrid Bergman, to name a few. Current silver screeners: Richard Gere, Michael Douglas, Lauren Bacall, Tippi Hedren, and Janet Leigh were among those turning out on a rainy Thursday night to pack the marble rotunda of Cipriani, the old mercantile building converted to a soon-to-be opened luxury Wall Street hotel. Proceeds of the event will go to the Motion Picture and Television Fund, and The Design Industries Foundation Fighting Aids.
