Finger Waves Rule in Old Hollywood Glamour!!

“Drew Barrymore
Grey Gardens”Last night in the wee hours as I was flipping through channels, I caught this shot of Drew Barrymore looking like one of the Old Hollywood glamour gals of the 30’s and 40’s!! This is the same tom-boy Drew we used to know from days gone by. What a fabulous makeover!  Wouldn’t it be fun to do a total transition look like this one for some special soriee! Bravo, to her make-up artist, hairstylist and of course Alberta Ferretti, for the amazing long fitting nude gown!!

Drew was attending the premiere of the new HBO film, “Grey Gardens” at The Ziegfield Theater in New York City, with co-stars Jessica Lange and Jeanne Tripplehorn.  Grey Gardens, is a remake of the namesake 70’s documentary based on the true story of two eccentric relatives of Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy, the Bouvier Beales.

“Sucsy’s original story for GREY GARDENS offers a wry, behind-the-scenes look at the Beales and their unique mother-daughter bond. Told over the span of four decades, the film focuses on their glamorous and well-heeled lives long before the making of the documentary and on the circumstances behind their riches-to-rags story.”

Well, I’m looking forward to this not just for the drama, which will probably win an emmy, but the hairstyles and dress from this era are always fabulous and fun see. And, Jessica Lange, (from my hometown) is one of my favorite actors as well. So watch for the cable network premier this Saturday April 18th.

Drew is believable as a 40’s bombshell. . . wavy hair, red lips, pale skin and hat!
