You have woven (or should I said plaited?) the history of some Hollywood hairstyles and the career of Guilaroff so admirably. I must get my hands on Guilaroff's book to see what he may have remembered about Marlene Dietrich in <i>Kismet</i>. A Dietrich collector has one of her wigs from that film and has sent me some great photos of it. I will forward them to you!Josephhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04970797639620201166noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-61953143634808984622014-11-04T06:03:53.413-08:002014-11-04T06:03:53.413-08:00What a beautiful article!

I have to say my very favorite is Jane Fonda's marcelled look in The Shoot Horses Don't They. I always loved that. One of my favorite movies is Norma Shearer's Marie Antoinette. She was gorgeous in it and also acted the part beautifully.

Jane Fonda's hairstyle in "They Shoot Horses" really is a superb 1930s look. I only wish Sydney Guilaroff had done Diane Keaton's hair for Godfather I and II - her hair isn't quite right for the era (though Talia Shire's look is spot-on).The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-54279917397627236662014-10-04T10:55:52.747-07:002014-10-04T10:55:52.747-07:00I always wanted movie hair, too, and remember read...I always wanted movie hair, too, and remember reading movie magazines when I was 12 or 13 that included sections on how to "set your hair" (with rollers) in various movie star styles.

I totally agree with Rick that Anne Bancroft never looked better than in THE GRADUATE. Eva Marie Saint is a perfect cool Hitchcock blonde.

I'd always associated him so closely with "Golden Age" hair styling that I was a bit surprised and very impressed to find he'd designed Anne Bancroft's looks for "The Graduate" and Jane Fonda's for "They Shoot Horses." If stylists had ever been given Oscars, Sydney would've had shelves full. <br /><br />His rather dizzying autobiography is filled with interesting history - and suspect stories. I couldn't believe he had the nerve to claim serious romances with Garbo and Ava. Quite an imagination (as many of his hairstyles illustrate) - but who knows why he felt compelled - in the 1990s - to make up such outrageous nonsense.<br /><br />Very glad you enjoyed this piece, Ken, I had great fun with it.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />The Lady Evehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963115499930520653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-62898748402432466782014-10-01T21:25:17.154-07:002014-10-01T21:25:17.154-07:00It took me a while to finally finish this piece an...It took me a while to finally finish this piece and once I was done, I made a visit to your blog - where I came upon your (great) most recent post, "60s A-GO-GO." And there I saw a photo of Peggy Moffitt - a photo I'd very nearly used in this post. And Twiggy, whose boyish bob was almost featured here, too. Great minds...<br /><br />Louise Brooks's look certainly was unique - as was her personality, mystique and legend. Not to mention that she was the centerpiece of a silent masterpiece, "Pandora's Box". All of this together is, I'm sure, why she is better known today for the "shingle" bob than others who popularized the look.

Reading this was a blast. The work of Sydney ...Wow! Reading this was a blast. The work of Sydney Guillaroff is something of a running gag in my household, as my partner and I are HUGE fans of his over-the-top ENORMOUS hairstyles. We'll watch a 60s film and lay bets that is an actress is sporting a skinned-back hairline and a mountain of asymmetrical curls, it'll be a Guillaroff.<br />His work is both iconic (the Fonda hair in "Horses"/ Minnelli in "Cabaret") and sometimes comic. This post is so informative, so much fun, and so in the spirit of Mr. Sydney (researching "Rosemary's Baby" I read his book and couldn't believe he passed himself off as straight while featuring a full-page glamour photo of him and his very handsome "grandson" he adopted when the young man was well into adulthood.) that it pays tribute to his stylistic genius, but takes his self-serving legend with a grain of salt.<br />Loved the photos,loved the history.loved the topic. Close to being my favorite of so many fave posts of yours. <br />Oh, and I think Guillaroff's last on-screen appearance is in "New York, New York" doing Liza's hair just before the "Happy Endings" number.<br />Thanks for a hair-raising reading experience, Lady Eve!Ken Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04940648971296673233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8509825018139758536.post-30689578645060654382014-10-01T14:52:58.972-07:002014-10-01T14:52:58.972-07:00Fabulous post Lady Eve.
