Photoplay Awards

March 9, 1953 (Beverly Hills, Los Angeles) (Leave your comments, please)         Oscar winning costume designer William Travilla designed some of Marilyn's most memorable costumes, both on and off screen. He helped to sew her into the sheer gold lame dress she had worn (briefly-it was deemed too revealing to pass the censors) in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, to go and claim her award for Hollywood's Fastest Rising Star of 1952.
