Biography

Après avoir notamment étudié dans les années 1930 à l'Art Students League of New York, Bonnie Cashin débute sur les conseils de Carmel Snow chez Adler & Adler en 1937. Mais les restrictions de tissus de la Seconde Guerre mondiale la frustre. Elle part alors en Californie et signe un contrat de six ans avec la 20th Century Fox. Bonnie Cashin y travaille de 1943 à 1949. Elle retourne chez Adler & Adler et rencontre le succès avec sa collection de 1950. Bridée par son employeur, elle fonde Bonnie Cashin Design Inc. l'année suivante. Elle est définie comme la « championne du sportswear », représentant l'essor du prêt-à-porter américain qui a lieu après la Seconde Guerre mondiale avec des créations simples et fonctionnelles avec des tissus faciles à entretenir.

Parmi ses trente-quatre films américains, il est possible de citer Laura d'Otto Preminger (1944, avec Gene Tierney dans le rôle-titre), Le Lys de Brooklyn d'Elia Kazan (1945, avec Dorothy McGuire et Joan Blondell), Anna et le Roi de Siam de John Cromwell (1946, avec Irene Dunne et Rex Harrison), ou encore La Fosse aux serpents d'Anatole Litvak (1948, avec Olivia de Havilland et Mark Stevens).

Bonnie Cashin est par ailleurs créatrice d'accessoires de maroquinerie, en particulier pour l'entreprise Coach.

A college professor is working on a long-term scientific experiment when a baseball comes through the window, destroying all of his glassware and spilling the fluids that the flasks and test tubes contained. The pooled fluids combine to form the (fictitious) chemical "methylethylpropylbutyl," which then covers a large portion of the baseball. The professor soon discovers that the fluid, along with any object with which it makes contact, is repelled by wood (cf. Alexander Fleming's serendipitous discovery of penicillin).

The movie follows the rise and fall of a con man—a story that begins and ends at a seedy traveling carnival. Fascinated by everything there, including a grotesque geek, Stanton "Stan" Carlisle (Tyrone Power) works with "Mademoiselle Zeena" (Joan Blondell) and her alcoholic husband, Pete (Ian Keith). Once a top-billed act, Zeena and Pete used an ingenious code to make it appear that she had extraordinary mental powers, until her (unspecified) misdeeds drove Pete to drink and reduced them to working in a third-rate outfit. Stanton learns that many people want to buy the code from Zeena for a lot of money but she won't sell; she is saving it as a nest egg. He tries to romance Zeena into teaching it to him but she remains faithful to her husband and even hopes to send him to a detox clinic for alcoholics.

Anna Owens (Irene Dunne) and her son Louis (Richard Lyon) arrive in Bangkok in 1862 to tutor the King's (Rex Harrison) children. She believes she is sufficiently acquainted with Asian customs to know what is proper in Siam, having read a book summarizing the same. However, when the Kralahome or Prime Minister (Lee J. Cobb) comes out to welcome her, he asks her a number of personal questions, and she does not know that this is common courtesy in Siam. Her letter from the King asking her to come to Siam includes a promise that she will have a house of her own away from the Palace, but the Kralahome says she will have to stay in the harem for now (although she'll have a private room there).
