This magnificent necklace was designed by the famous Hollywood jewelry designer Eugene Joseff. Joseff pioneered the idea of renting jewelry to the studios in order to recoup the cost of making each piece. He would often reuse the entire piece, or sometimes disassemble parts of a piece to get a different look. In the 30s and 40s, it is estimated that about 90 percent of jewelry in Hollywood films was from Joseff.   This necklace was worn many times over the years, with various pieces of it added and removed as needed.   In 1941, it was worn by Alice Faye as Baroness Cecilia Duarte in 𝑻𝒉𝒂𝒕 𝑵𝒊𝒈𝒉𝒕 𝒊𝒏 𝑹𝒊𝒐.   In 1945, it was worn by Tallulah Bankhead as Catherine the Great in 𝑨 𝑹𝒐𝒚𝒂𝒍 𝑺𝒄𝒂𝒏𝒅𝒂𝒍. Some of the pieces seem to have been turned into earrings!   See what other films have featured this necklace, and learn how much it sold for when it went up for auction! Bit.ly/Acces099

Day 2 in my #365classicmoviechallenge 😊: tonight I’m watching the 1936 film “Stowaway” starring Shirley Temple, Robert Young & Alice Faye also co-starring Helen Westley & Arthur Treacher 😊 1936 was a big year for Shirley she starred 3 huge films that year Dimples, Poor Little Rich Girl and this film that I’m watching tonight and she would top the top 10 box office draws list for a 2nd year in a row she was no. 1 for 4 years from 1935 to 1938 😊 This is her 1st of 2 films she did with Robert Young they wouldn’t be in another film together until 1949 when Shirley was an adult in the film “Adventure In Baltimore” and it’s also her 2nd film with Alice Faye as she was in “Poor Little Rich Girl” with her, Jack Haley & Gloria Stuart earlier that year 😊 Alice Faye was also one of the Fox’s biggest stars in the 30s along with Shirley 😊. Her first major film debut was in the 1934 film “George White’s Scandals” starring Rudy Vallee & Jimmy Durante. Fox wanted at first to make Alice their version of Jean Harlow and starred in films like “Now I’ll Tell” with Spencer Tracy & “1935 Scandals” with James Dunn & Eleanor Powell for instance but when Fox merged with 20th Century they softened her image to be more family friendly and changed her look to be more natural and her Star got even bigger when she starred in the 2 Shirley Temple films. She would later go on to have hits of her own including “In Old Chicago”, “Alexander’s Ragtime Band”, “Hello, Frisco, Hello” (which includes the Oscar-winning song “You’ll Never Know”) & her last film “Fallen Angel” before leaving Hollywood altogether at the peak of her career in 1945 (one of few to ever do so during those times) due to family life and conflict with Fox head Darryl F. Zanuck she would go to have a successful radio career with her husband Phil Harris 😊 #shirleytemple #robertyoung #alicefaye #stowaway #classicmovienight #classicmovies #oldhollywood #classichollywood
