Who Killed Teddy Bear Provides Quite A Fashionable Victim, And A Gay Elaine Stritch






I had the immense pleasure of attending a screening of the crazy, amazing, bizarro film, Who Killed Teddy Bear? For those of you who don't know of this gem, it's a cult thriller from 1965 featuring Elaine Stritch as a lesbian. Yesssss.

But more than the fabulously dated dialogue and hilarious cinematography, I thoroughly enjoyed the wardrobe of the lead character, Norah, played by Juliet Prowse. (Who was engaged to Frank Sinatra, acted with Elvis Presley, and appeared in L'eggs commericals. Thanks Wikipedia.)


Norah worked as a record changer (aka 1960s deejay) for a swanky nightclub and appeared throughout the film in a ridiculous white and camel fur-lined hooded coat. There was also a Grecian-like flowy top and skirt combo at one point that blew my mind.

And of course five thousand undergarments and a cone bra. I want to be her.
