Ann Margaret and Fashion


Ann Margaret is basically a showgirl. Not strong on singing, better at dancing and acting coquettish, but I guess that was what they wanted in pretty women back then. I liked her, she wasn't horrible. What was that bullet helmet with the side spit curls she's wearing in the car with Richard Crenna though? Yikes!

I agree. I love her though!

The headgear you mention was a high fashion version of a London Bobby Hat-the kind of hat police on patrol in the U.K. wear, proper name is Custodian helmet per Wiki

Designer Givenchy put Audrey Hepburn in one for "How to Steal a Million" and they were in vogue for a short time circa 1966. I know this because my mother had one (in a zebra print no less) that horrified us as children. We wouldn't leave the house with her if she was wearing it. The 60's.

heh, just the style of the time
