I love the 1959 movie "Pillow Talk" which starred Doris Day and Rock Hudson. One of the reasons why it's in my top movie selection is because of the Singer/Actress Perry Blackwell. She only had one scene in the movie and she sang for most of that scene, but what she did with her expressions and mannerisms spoke much much more. She was also in the 1960 movie "Dead Ringer" with Bette Davis and Karl Malden. There is not much info on her available, but I did discover via a message written by her daughter, that she is a classically trained Pianist and self taught organist. She played Hammond Organ for years. Also she played with Sonny Stitt, Wes Montgomery Bros. , Roy Milton and Louis Jordan. She worked many gigs around such people as Nancy Wilson, Aretha Franklin, Quincy Jones, Joe Williams, Freddie Hubbard, Jackie Wilson and Red Foxx. She worked on the New York jazz scence for a few years, Best known for her 7 year stint at The Parisian Room in Los A
omg! the white outfit! yes i would wear that in real life! omg did u make that!?
ReplyDeleteHey thank you!!!!
ReplyDeleteYes I made it ..pretty simple actually...thanks again
But i want that. Maybe when I go into my sewing again, you can advise me about making a life sized version. I just love that outfit. Im putting it down on my list to make. If you dont mind. Will be a little while from now but I will definitely make sure it happens. Youll have the first pics. I could tone the hat down a bit. but I still love the high drama of it all.
DeleteYou did a wonderful job on all three outfits! The white one is my favorite, too.
