Talk:Edith Head

message: I'm deleting Sabrina for this list because while Head did design other costumes on the picture, the dresses Hepburn wore were designed by Hubert Givenchy.  See here, and here.  PedanticallySpeaking 16:20, Sep 11, 2004 (UTC)
:In order to save an edit to this page, I had to remove the second of the three links that PedanticallySpeaking had listed, because the Wikipedia software has since blacklisted the domain in which that link was located (due to the domain's association with spyware, apparently). However, I can say that TCM is another source of mentions for the controversy over Head's getting exclusive credit for work that included Givenchy's designs.

message: So the Searchlight, Nevada article claims Edith Head as a notable native, but there is no reference to Searchlight here. Which article needs correction? Jim 03:32, 13 November 2006 (UTC)

message: I am not an expert of Head's life or in human sexuality, but while reading the trivia line "While the designer did not confirm or deny her sexuality in the interview, gossip about Head from other sources such as actress Elsa Lanchester, reportedly herself a lesbian, has led some to claim that Head was also homosexual", it seemed to me that she perhaps should be referred to as a bisexual, since she was clearly married to two men during many years.  I have seen some controversy about the distinction between homosexualism and bisexualism in other articles in Wikipedia.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Acmejia (talk • contribs) 04:08, 15 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Edith Head appeared in The Oscar as herself in a cameo role. This is currently not noted in the article. Did she also receive an award for costume design for the same movie, or just a nomination? David Spector (talk) 15:49, 25 June 2013 (UTC)

message: The biographical info box under Head's picture states she was married to Charles Head from 1923-1938 whereas the text of the entry states they divorced in 1936.  Is  this discrepancy also found in various sources or did an editor simply  make a mistake?74.138.45.132 (talk) 01:21, 26 June 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Marriage 

message: There's a semi-contradiction in the article. The "Universal Years" section contains this:
"Her last film project was the black-and-white comedy Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid, starring Steve Martin and Carl Reiner. For the production, she re-created fashions of the 1940s, extensively referencing the film clips from classic film noir motion pictures. It was released shortly after her death and dedicated to her memory."
The "Posthumous References" section contains this:
"The parody film Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid (1982) used scenes from films using Head's designs. A dedication to her and her work was included during the credits, listing it as her "final film"."
The former states that she did the costumes for the film's new scenes, but the latter only references clips taken from other films. I do not know the facts here, so I'm not going to make a change, but someone more knowledgeable should probably reconcile the two.

thread_title:  Edit request on 28 October 2013 

message: I was surprised to read at the bottom of the article that Head's 35 Oscar noms and 8 wins is not just "more than any other designer" as stated in the lead, but more than any other woman, period. Shouldn't that be in the introductory part of this article?Rkaufman13 (talk) 15:59, 28 October 2013 (UTC)
