Hello again, time for a weekly quiz!

Let's make this week's question a triple! Who is this lovely actress? What movie is this shot from? and who was the designer of this drop dead gorgeous gown? :scratchchin:

Yes, on all counts, Sandra.

Jean Louis was quite the designer. He also dressed Lana Turner, (he was the one who put Lana into the tight little sweater). Also Kim Novak and Loretta Young wore his dresses at the begininng of her TV show, she would enter swirling around in them. He and Loretta Young married in 1993 and remained married till the year of his death 1997.

Also designed for Doris Day in Pillow Talk and those beautiful beaded gowns (he would take nude netting and cover it in beads) he did one of these for Marlene Dietrich and the other one was worn by Marilyn Monroe when she sang Happy Birthday, Mr. President to JFK.

Here is a toast :drinkingtoast: to Jean Louis who created many iconic designs for us to keep on enjoying through his association in the film industry!
