Sky Arte documentary explores Hollywood costume designer Orry Kelly's legacy

A documentary titled 'Orry Kelly – Tutte le donne che ho (s)vestito' airs on Sky Arte on Sunday, January 23, tracing the career of the Australian costume designer who created costumes for 282 films during Hollywood's golden age. Orry Kelly dressed stars including Marilyn Monroe, Bette Davis, Humphrey Bogart, Rosalind Russell, Errol Flynn, and Cary Grant. His filmography includes 'Some Like It Hot', 'Casablanca', 'An American in Paris', and 'Now, Voyager'. He won three Academy Awards and was nominated for a fourth. Kelly headed the costume department at Warner Bros. during the peak of American cinema. Known for his scandalous wit and talent for merging actor and character, his designs revitalized the images of many stars, boosting their fame and following. Despite his success, he remained largely unknown in his native Australia and nearly forgotten in the United States.
