Following their hugely successful Masters of Make-Up Effects, Oscar-winning make-up effects artist Howard Berger and veteran film journalist Marshall Julius emerge from the shadows to continue their Hollywood Monsters odyssey with their next book, Making Monsters, an oral history of the monsters who made us and the magicians who made them.

If you know classic movies, especially films from Paramount Pictures, there’s a good chance you’ve seen her name emblazoned on hundreds of opening titles. Considered one of film history’s great costume designers, Edith Head began working for Paramount in 1924. Head made history as the first female head of a major studio's costume department in 1938, when designer Travis Banton left Paramount. The establishment of the Academy Award for Costume Design in 1949 helped further introduce costume designers to the general public and led to a record-breaking run of nominations and wins for Head. In pop culture, she has been referenced in songs, film and television. She’s been a stamp and a Google doodle, but perhaps the biggest tribute is the character Edna Mode, the superhero costume designer in Pixar’s The Incredibles.The exhibit Edith Head: Hollywood’s Costume Designer is organized by The Oklahoma City Museum of Art and presented by The Ann Lacy Foundation. The Head-focused retrospective features 70 costumes that capture Head’s expansive career. Worn by stars such as Audrey Hepburn, Grace Kelly, Veronica Lake, and Barbara Stanwyck, the costumes represent a broad look at the designs and silhouettes of one of the premiere designers of golden age Hollywood. The homegrown exhibition takes up the museum’s entire third floor, where costumes and sketches showcase Head’s life and work. OKCMOA curatorial assistant Kristen Pignuolo joins Film Review to shares insights about the exhibit and the career of a Hollywood icon.
