"There isn't enough personal information for this to be considered a true biography, and it isn't comprehensive enough to be a career retrospective. Instead, this is just a breezy overview of Edith Head's life and work, written by a man who knew her in her later years. It was fun to read about the figure flaws of the famous--Bette Davis had a thick neck! Barbara Stanwyck had a short waist!--but you never get to know much below the surface. Great pictures, too, but I wanted more!"
"It was just a chronology of her work. I was hoping for more about the actual design process of famous dresses and their construction. Had hoped for more inside info about the stars. Overall, OK."
