On Sun., Aug. 11, The Friendship Club presents "Hollywood Revisited," a truly dazzling display of costumes that were worn by the stars in the original Hollywood films for which the costumes were made. Top-notch Broadway and Hollywood performers wear the costumes and present the songs that were sung by the stars who wore them in those original shows. From the 1930s to the 1960s, Hollywood directors were told to "put the light where the money is," which often meant spectacular costumes. Studios hired the biggest designers and fashion icons to bring to life the glitz and glamour that moviegoers expected. Edith Head, Adrian, Walter Plunkett, Irene and Helen Rose were just a few that became household names because of their designs. In many cases, their creations were just as important as the plot of the movie itself. Greg Schreiner, Curator of Special Collections at the Hollywood Museum in Hollywood, shares his film costume collection in the show. His wonderful collection houses over 300 masterpieces. Filled with music, memories and fun, the revue allows the audience to genuinely feel as if they were revisiting the days that made Hollywood a dream factory. The wardrobes of Marilyn Monroe, Elizabeth Taylor, Julie Andrews, Gene Kelly, Bette Davis, Katharine Hepburn, Mae West, Bob Hope, Bing Crosby and Judy Garland are just a few from the vast collection that will dazzle the audience. Hollywood Revisited is much more than a visual treat. Acclaimed vocalists sing and dance to movie-related music while wearing the costumes. Schreiner, a concert pianist, provides all the musical accompaniment and anecdotes about the designer, the movie and scene for each costume. The show has won critical praise from movie buffs, film historians, and city-wide newspapers. Don't miss this live spectacular that is "Hollywood Revisited." It will leave you in awe as you learn about the original historic costume designs of Hollywood's Golden Age. Tickets for all shows are $20 for members, $25 for non-resident guests. Doors open at 6 pm, show begins at 7 pm. Make checks out to Friendship Club, and deliver them to 5168 Rio Bravo Drive. For cancellations and information, call Pat at (951) 845-3789 or Leeann at (909) 973-3143.
