The Pre-Code era of Hollywood refers to the years between 1930 when the Production Code was adopted and 1934 when it was in full effect. The Code prohibited seeing many sins on screen, so Pre-Code films are beloved for how risqué and provocative they could be with their look and content.
This 6-part series that introduces you to some of the most popular actresses of the Pre-Code era - Barbara Stanwyck, Kay Francis, Jean Harlow, Carole Lombard, Marlene Dietrich, Joan Blondell, and Joan Crawford. Each event will begin with one of my presentations followed by a double feature of films. There will be one event per month.
Though costume design is important in film, it is particularly significant to the plot and production of the movies selected for this series. In each talk, you will also learn about the costume designers themselves - how they contributed to the style of the studios along with the evolution of the actresses' careers and personal style.
Upcoming events can always be seen on the GlamAmor Events page.
For last month's THE STYLE OF SIN: CAROLE LOMBARD,
I wore a pale pink dress from the 1970s that had draping reminiscent of the 1930s
The courtyard of the Egyptian Theatre
still looks very much like it did at its opening in 1922
