she wore in To Catch a
Thief that did the trick.
Prince Ranier saw the film
"and fell madly in love with
Miss Kelly," Ms. Schreier
said. "The rest is history."
Adrian (Greenberg), whom
Ms. Schreier labeled "the
most important" Hollywood
designer, never dressed
Grace Kelly. But he came up
with something for just
about everyone else.
He put white fluffy
shoulders on a dress for Joan
Crawford, to make her hips
appear slimmer. Soon
thereafter, Macy's created a
similar dress and sold 50,000
in one week.
He put Clark Gable in a T-
shirt in Riptide, starting a
trend that traversed from
Texas to Tallahassee.
And he dressed both Judy
Garland, in The Wizard of
Oz, and Katharine Hepburn,
in The Philadelphia Story, in
gingham, his favorite fabric.
Designers found little
challenge garbing Marilyn
Monroe in The Seven Year
Itch; that snappy white
number that blew out of con-
trol "was purchased off the
rack of a very inexpensive
shop," Ms. Schreier said.
Rita Hayworth posed an-
other problem. She was the
elusive Gilda in the film of
the same name just two
weeks after giving birth to
her daughter, Rebecca
Welles. But did anyone
notice any bulges when she
wore that sexy black gown?
Walter Plunkett probably
had little trouble designing
for the lovely Vivien Leigh,
but Fred and Ginger pre-
sented him with no end of
challenges, Ms. Schreier
said.
The dancing duo may have
been in sync on the dance
floor, but off screen they
were like two left feet.
Ginger Rogers always
wanted costumes with
feathers because she knew
her partner was allergic to
them. And she especially en-
joyed long, heavily beaded
sleeves which, Ms. Schreier
said, "she would swing
toward Fred Astaire's face
and almost knock him
out."

TIMELESS STYLING
MADE IN THE USA WITH A
3-YEAR PARTS WARRANTY
With the filing deadline at
4 p.m. on Tuesday, the race
to fill seven, four-year posi-
tions on the West Bloomfield
Township Board of Trustees
is hotter than ever.
Judy Holtz, the only Jew-
ish trustee serving the
township, has opted not to
seek re-election. Yet three
other Jewish candidates —
township activists Richard
Barr, Michael Schwartz and
Larry Wasserman — are vy-
ing for trustee posts.
Mrs. Holtz, recently ap-
pointed as part-time
magistrate for the 52-1
District Court which
primarily serves Walled
Lake and Novi, this week
announced she will not seek
re-election to, the township
board because of a judicial
code of ethics that prohibits
judges, including
magistrates, from being
candidates in partisan elec-
tions.
Meanwhile, Mr. Barr, a
Democrat, says his can-
didacy "will ensure that
there will be a contested race
for trustee in the township
general election for the first
time in many years."
Before he moved to West
Judy Holtz
Bloomfield six years ago,
Mr. Barr, an attorney, serv-
ed as a Lathrup Village City
Council member. He was a
member of the West Bloom-
field Schools' Citizen's
Redistricting Committee.
Also seeking a position is
Republican Michael
Schwartz, known in the
cominiitnity as one of the
defense attorneys handling
the highly publicized case of
Dr. Jack Kevorkian, the
Royal Oak pathologist who
invented the suicide
machine.
Mr. Schwartz also was an
original member of the
