A Conversation with Edith Head

Award-winning actress Susan Claassen stars in the Bay Area premiere of “A Conversation With Edith Head” at Pear Theatre. The internationally acclaimed show, based on EDITH HEAD’S HOLLYWOOD by Edith Head and Paddy Calistro, is a feast of delicious behind-the-scenes stories about Hollywood’s greatest stars that provide an intimate portrait of Hollywood’s legendary costume designer. In her six decades of costume design, Edith Head worked on over eleven hundred films; dressed the greatest stars of Hollywood; received 35 Academy Award® nominations, and won an unprecedented eight Oscars®. Edith Head’s story is as fascinating as the history of the film industry itself, filled with humor, frustration, and — above all — glamour.
