I was getting my hair "done" the other afternoon and was reading an old magazine (they have the worst), anyhow a little trivia for you folks out there and particularly the ones that LOVE Miss Scarlett. I should point out I tore the page out of the magazine (something I would not do when I was younger but now I do it all the time). If I like it (say a recipe), I just tear it out and put in my purse. But on to the real story here . . . . .
Bob Mackie created approximately 17,940 costumes for
The Carol Burnett Show which I did watch and now watch and it just cracks me up. Among the most famous designs was the "curtain-rod dress" made for a parody of
Gone With the Wind. Like Scarlett O'Hara in the 1939 movie, Burnett's character "Starlett" donned a dress made from green velvet drapes - only in this case the gold rod was still attached. You can watch it on YouTube - so funny!
