I was pleased to learn about that at the Mary Blair tribute last night, held at the Samuel Goldwyn. Alice Davis and her neice had some fantastic reminiscences about Mary. The clips shown were cool. The panel discussion was alright.
Best things I learned was that Mary Blair could barely see, and she would sometimes wear as many as five pairs of eyeglasses, one on top of the other - - on top of her contact lenses - to do her art work.
Oh, and the one thing I had no idea she worked on was costumes for the original production of How To Succeed In Business Without Really Trying.
And she was painfully shy - but so obviously rad.
