In any case, this thrash can bring an even better appreciation for these goddesses.  Many seem like giants onscreen; Joan Crawford is one who usually elicits gasps from audiences while in the manner tha they hear how petite she really was.  The illusion was due to the talented manufacturing teams--from set designers to sharpwitted directors and cinematographers.  They deadly course also included my dearest costume designers, who fixed distinct a figure flaw in reform to turn these actresses devour icons.
