"Funny Face" (And I could certainly use a release!)

That's right, Audrey! I could certainly use one of those, as well!



As you can see, Audrey is wearing all black except for her socks. Everyone probably knows this story but: Stanley Donen wanted her to wear white socks and she was stunned saying that it would ruin the black silhouette. He said that she would fade into the background and that there'd be no definition of her movement. She cried, came back on set, put on the white socks, and did the dance without a tear.

Audrey later wrote Donen and told him that he was right about the socks!
