Valentina !

16 March 2009 5:01 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

Mobile post sent by nathanielr using Utterli. Replies.

Visited the Valentina exhibit at the Museum of the City of New York today. The gloved gown to the left was for exotic Hollywood beauty Merle Oberon. The green gown was designed for Lillian Gish who apparently wore Valentina both on and off stage. Finally to the right this Katharine Hepburn ensemble was for The Philadelphia Story. Valentina declared "At last, I made her look like a woman."

To your left are three Greta Garbo pieces. Apparently Garbo was pretty damn specific about what she wanted. The coat to your left she asked that it be ...a combination of The Duchess of Windsor, Lady Mendl and George Bernard ShawYou can't see the details too well here but the gown to your right, the "petal pink and black floral medallion silk brocade" is amazing.

Valentina was quite a high society character (why no biopic of her? »

Don't you wish old photos came with audio tracks?

Or that you could time travel into the room as they were being taken.

And if either of those things were possible, wouldn't you grab every Old Hollywood candid you could find in order to listen in or join the party? What exactly would Rosalind Russell, Greer Garson and Merle Oberon chat about anyway? Roz only cares about the camera but who are Greer and Merle all smiles about?

I mean just fantasize for a moment about a night at ... on the bar with Marlene Dietrich and Claudette Colbert.

How much would you have to drink to not be starstruck and join right in. Too much. Too much I say. The mind clouds. The hangover would be epic.

Here's a photo I've cherished my whole life from an old out of print Natalie Wood book from the 80s. It's Dennis Hopper and Wood discussing acting styles as they screen A Streetcar Named Desire »
