Bob Mackie: Naked Illusion

I had no idea he was the sketch guy for Monroe's dress. My family always looked forward to seeing The sonny and Cher/Cher show with her lovely dresses plus her songs were the highlight of the night. I was Looking forward to this documentary and was bored at first with him and two others in the car going to the Met and almost stopped watching. But be patient. Slowly the documentary delves into his fascinating life. The incredible work ethic, discipline, meticulousness of this man work and life will blow you away. Carol Burnett quotes that he designed absolutely everything in her show and that it amounted thousands of outfits blew me away. Then the contrast of discovering his grandaughter and her kids later in life living a normal life in a suburban home in Idaho is quite the contrast. Watch it. I plan to buy his book for my B-day.
