GlamAmor-ous Conversations: Susan Claassen as Edith Head
Online
Have you ever wanted to experience what it was like during the Golden Age of Hollywood and learn the style secrets of the stars? Join me for my conversation with acclaimed actress Susan Claassen as she channels legendary costume designer Edith Head.
Edith Head (1897 - 1981) was the most prolific costume designer in Hollywood history. She was also the most awarded - receiving an unprecedented 8 Oscars® and 35 nominations in her career. In addition to contributing to some of the most memorable moments on the silver screen, Edith also influenced fashion with many of her designs.
Claassen has traveled the globe with her award-winning one-woman show A Conversation with Edith Head. Tours of the production have taken her across the U.S. and internationally from Toronto to Tbilisi, including an acclaimed five-week run in London’s West End. Claassen plays the part of Edith Head so well she is often mistaken for the legendary costume designer even by those who knew her.
It will be as if Ms. Head is taking time out of her busy schedule at Universal to reflect on her years at Paramount where she worked with some of the most stylish stars, including:
Mae West
Dorothy Lamour
Barbara Stanwyck
Veronica Lake
Hedy Lamarr
Bette Davis
Gloria Swanson
Elizabeth Taylor
Audrey Hepburn
Grace Kelly
See you there!
