A Hollywood Classic Enjoys a Revival
By LAURA M. HOLSON
Published: January 7, 2009
At the Frederick Fekkai salon on Fifth Avenue in Manhattan was bustling two weeks ago as patrons sipped Champagne and chattered, waiting to have their frizzy locks shaped into coiffed ’dos. As often happens this time of year, gossip turned to the Golden Globes, the Academy Awards and what hairstyles would be hot on the red carpet.
“Hair will be simple, sexy,” said Seiji Kitazato, the salon’s creative director, as he coaxed a flip out of the tangled mop atop the woman seated in his chair. “Gentle curves, very old Hollywood. But updated this year, so it’s a little messy.”
As the economy has taken a turn, so too has the public’s tolerance for extravagant display. And this year stylists expect celebrities to take their cues from stars popular during the golden age of Hollywood, edging toward classic looks and away from any trend that smacks of ostentatious consumerism.
Stylists agreed that curls will frame necklines, replacing jewel-crusted chandelier earrings, as the newest fashion accessory. Kohl-ringed eyes, like those peering beneath the Bond girl Eva Green’s bouffant at the 2007 Academy Awards, will be replaced by softer, smoky colors. And if anyone is wearing handmade mink eyelashes such as those promoted by Jennifer Lopez in recent years, it is likely they won’t be bragging about them.
“Who is going to want to read about an actress wearing $500 false eyelashes when some people can’t make their mortgage payments?” asked Pati Dubroff, a makeup artist who styles Gwyneth Paltrow and Naomi Watts. “No one is going to be pushing the envelope. It’s going to be safe and simple, and I don’t think there is anything wrong with that.”
Such restraint in deference to economic turmoil or, for example, the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks, is not without precedent. Hollywood is hard-pressed to curb its overindulgent ways, but has proved it can tone down the pageantry when it wants. Five months after the 9/11 attacks, for example, Nicole Kidman appeared on the red carpet at the Academy Awards with elegant subdued waves while Sandra Bullock and Julia Roberts swept their hair up in a helmet of tight curls. Those styles are not unlike what stylists predict fashion watchers will see at the coming awards shows.
Unlike 9/11, which prompted organizers of the Academy Awards to cancel red carpet festivities, a longer-lasting economic pall over the industry will linger, perhaps for years. Sally Hershberger, a top celebrity hairstylist who commands as much as $800 for a cut at her New York salon, said she expected beauty trends to hark back to classic styles that saw their birth in the Depression, and reached an apex in the 1940s when Veronica Lake and Lauren Bacall became fashion icons. In the 1950s, the porcelain-skinned Grace Kelly and her remote elegance reigned onscreen.
Recently Ms. Hershberger said the designer team of Badgley Mischka hired her to style Eva Longoria for an advertisement and she chose the coif popularized by Ms. Lake, signature peek-a-boo bangs covering one eye. (Ms. Lake once said of her pin-up popularity: “I never used cheesecake. I just used my hair.”)
“It was more flat and sculpted,” said Ms. Hershberger of Ms. Longoria’s curls. “Nothing high on top, plus lots of finger waves. That always looks cool.”
Of course, women wore hats in the 1930s and ’40s, which is why hair was shaped to their heads. Actresses, too, sought to evoke a sultry innocence, something that is absent in this era when cover photos of pouty-lipped, nearly naked actresses populate magazine racks.
To modernize the look, Ms. Hershberger and others who are styling stars for the awards shows said curls would be structured, but not as tightly wound as earlier periods. Think Cybill Shepherd from the 1971 hit “The Last Picture Show,” which depicted life in a small Texas town in the 1950s. Or January Jones as Betty Draper on “Mad Men,” a cable series about advertising executives in the late ’50s and early 1960s, said Ms. Hershberger. Ms. Jones manages to impart a chilly allure reminiscent of Grace Kelly.
One thing this year is definitely out: the Malibu Barbie ropy strands still so popular among younger celebrities. “Fashion has moved on,” said Annabelle Tollman, a stylist who works with Scarlett Johansson. “The super tan sexy look, with the loose hair and shimmering makeup, that’s done. It doesn’t feel right. It looks trampy and unsexy these days. It’s not what I would be pushing.”
For the face, understated but tasteful is key. “You don’t have to wear sackcloth and ashes,” Ms. Tollman added. “You don’t have to stop enjoying yourself.” What that means is matte lips, perhaps red — shiny glosses will be tucked away in the makeup drawer this year — and skin that is nude, softened with pink blush on the cheeks. That is what Reese Witherspoon chose for the Country Music Association awards in November, said Angela Levin, a makeup stylist who is best known for working with Jennifer Aniston.
“We decided to keep her makeup simple and just give her red lips,” she said. “And no heavy black. If I were to give it a name, I would say ‘romantic.’ I can only imagine because that is what I am in the mood for. In a weird way, the people who go to these things are beautiful by nature anyway. You don’t really need to do that much.”
So much so, she said, that she too is cutting down on what cosmetics she will use at the Golden Globes and other shows. (She has a list of candidates to style, but will do only two.) “I carry a small cosmetics store,” she said. “But you know what? I don’t need all that. I find myself saying, ‘I can do an eye with two shadows.’ I’m no longer going to worry about using 15 products. You can do a face with four colors.”
For those actresses, though, who are looking for a more dramatic look, stylists are recommending smoky eye shadows and liners — gray, purple and brown, but no black. The mink eyelashes won’t fly, either. But even with talk of Hollywood sirens toning it down a bit, there is one thing few are likely to completely give up despite the natural trend: Botox and other injections for wrinkles.
Last year several actresses — among them Priscilla Presley, who performed on “Dancing With the Stars” — were criticized for extensively remodeling their faces with too much surgery and cosmetic fillers. In November, after noticing that her cheeks looked unnaturally full, Lisa Rinna admitted that she had been using too much Juvéderm.
“Hollywood is getting a lot of flack — there is a black cloud over people,” said Ms. Levin, adding that this year “you won’t see lots of puffy lips.”

Broadway World
Arizona-based actress Susan Claassen, who completed a highly successful engagement on London's West End this summer as legendary Hollywood designer Edith Head in "A CONVERSATION WITH Edith Head", recently began an intermittent US tour which will bring her to Arizona and California. (The month-long engagement at London's new Leicester Square Theatre was preceded by a sold out run at the 2007 Edinburgh Festival Fringe.)
"A CONVERSATION WITH Edith Head", based on Edith Head'S HOLLYWOOD by Edith Head & Paddy Calistro, is a feast of delicious behind-the-scenes stories about Hollywood's greatest stars that provide an intimate portrait of Hollywood's legendary costume designer. In her six decades of costume design, Edith Head worked on over eleven hundred films; dressed the greatest stars of Hollywood; received 35 Academy Award® nominations, and won an unprecedented eight Oscars®. Edith Head's story is as fascinating as the history of the film industry itself, filled with humor, frustration and, above all, glamour. This diva of design helped to define glamour in the most glamorous place in the world - Hollywood!
Ms. Claassen began her US tour in October by opening the 16th season at Houston's Theater LaB with a sold out 5-performance engagement.
On February 8th at 8 AM (ET) Ms. Claassen will celebrate the up-coming Academy Awards with an interview on The James Rana Radio Show airing on WFDU-FM (89.1) and online at www.wfdu.fm). Edith Head received the most Academy Awards of any woman in the history of the awards.

Grace Kelly (1929-1982).
Grace Patricia Kelly (November 12, 1929 - September 14, 1982), later known as Her Serene Highness Princess Grace of Monaco, was an Oscar-winning American film actress who became the wife of Prince Rainier III of Monaco.
She was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania to John Brendan Kelly, Sr. (October 4, 1889 - June 20, 1960) and Margaret Majer; her Irish Catholic family were new but prominent figures in Philadelphia society. Her father was a self-made millionaire and a gold-medal-winning Olympic sculler, and her brother "Jack" followed in that tradition. Kelly Drive in Philadelphia is named for John, Jr., who was a city councilman there.
Though her family had opposed her becoming an actress, Kelly became a fashion model and appeared in her first film, Fourteen Hours (1951), when she was 22. The following year she "starred" with a minor role in High Noon (1952), a generally praised but somewhat controversial western starring Gary Cooper.
The film Mogambo (1953), a drama set in the Kenyan jungle, centers on the love triangle portrayed by Kelly, Clark Gable, and Ava Gardner. It earned Kelly an Oscar nomination for Best Supporting Actress, but the award went to Donna Reed for her role in From Here to Eternity. Kelly made three films with Alfred Hitchcock: Dial M for Murder, Rear Window, and To Catch a Thief.
In 1955 she was awarded the Academy Award for Best Actress for The Country Girl. While it was being filmed, she had engaged in a brief affair with co-star Bing Crosby which was kept quiet to protect both their reputations.
The musical comedy High Society (1956) was her last film, as her marriage to Prince Rainier III of Monaco marked her retirement from acting. Before her marriage, she was previously involved with Clark Gable, Bing Crosby, Ray Milland, William Holden, Oleg Cassini, and Jean-Pierre Aumont. She reportedly was surprised to learn from Rainier that she was expected to give up her film career entirely, but followed his wishes.
Her Catholicism and ability to bear children were key factors in her being chosen to marry Prince Rainier, as dynasties always make great import of their survival. Tales were circulated that Monaco would revert to France in the absence of an heir; and though there is no requirement for a Catholic marriage, it was thought unlikely that a Catholic prince would divorce and remarry if his chosen wife was barren. In fact, there was really little actual danger that Monaco would revert to France as, since 1882, a childless prince of Monaco has been able to adopt an unrelated heir, thereby ensuring Monaco's survival as a principality. Prince Rainier's paternal grandfather, Prince Louis II of Monaco had done just that in 1919 when he adopted his illegitimate daughter Charlotte Louvet, who would become Rainier's mother, and made her his heir Princess Charlotte of Monaco. Nonetheless, survival of the nation was a different matter than the survival of the dynasty, and here there was a history of concern about fertility. Before Grace Kelly drew Rainier's attention, French film star Gis�le Pascal had been his love interest for six years (she was born Gis�le Tallone in Cannes, France). Gis�le and Rainier supposedly parted when a physical examination reportedly found her to be infertile (she later married and had children).

Prince Rainier and Princess Grace had three children:
At the age of 52, Princess Grace suffered a stroke while driving. It had been rumored that she was driving on the same stretch of highway in Monaco that had been featured in To Catch a Thief, although her son, Prince Albert of Monaco, says it was not the same road. It resulted in an accident, and she died the next day without regaining consciousness. Princess Stephanie, who was alleged by some sources to have been the actual driver of the car, suffered only minor injuries.
