“There’s nothing like a row of Oscars® for putting the fear of God into an actress who thinks she knows everything about dress designing.”
-Edith Head

Susan Claasen, who stars as legendary Hollywood designer Edith Head in A Conversation with Edith Head will appear as part of Austin Cabaret Theatre’s 2009/2010 Season, conduct master classes for University of Texas theatre students and give two public performances on October 17th and 18th.

A Conversation with Edith Head is a feast of delicious behind-the-scenes stories about Hollywood’s greatest stars that provides an intimate portrait of Hollywood’s legendary costume designer. In her six decades of costume design, Edith Head worked on more than eleven hundred films; dressed the greatest stars of Hollywood; received 35 Academy Award® nominations, and won an unprecedented eight Oscars®. Young fans of Pixar’s The Incredibles will recognized the superhero outfitter Edna Mode as an affectionate tribute to the legendary Hollywood costume designer.
