a short list:
Addams Family Values, Annie, The Great Gatsby, Moonstruck, Ghostbusters, The Rose, Rich and Famous, Semi-Tough, Network....
a few of her creations...Yes, the penultimate goth comedy...Addams Family Values....
And look...the contrast is striking eh? The dark Wednesday in her turn-of-the-century inspired bathing costume contrasts very well with the sappy happy middle class "normal" girls in orange. Even if you don't know the story, you get it just with costume design.
And of course, Wednesday explains American History, Addams Family style.......
The Great Gatsby...aw...the 20s...Miss Aldredge won the Oscar for this magnificent effort. It set off a fad for 20s style clothing in fashion during the mid 1970s. (with a bit of help from some guy named Ralph Lauren)
Annie !
this bit has Carol Burnette, Bernadette Peters, and yes, that's Tim Curry.
here's a blurb from DePaul University Art Museum
" She received an Academy Award for The Great Gatsby in 1974, designed the original A Chorus Line costumes in 1975, as well as for Annie in 1977, 42nd Street in 1980, and La Cage Aux Folles in 1984. ...In 1984, she worked with Jane Fonda to develop more than 200 designs for the original line of Jane Fonda Workout Wear. She currently lives in New York City. "
Theoni Aldredge, I loved your work. thanks for all the Dreams!
