Edith Head is an American costume designer who was nominated for 35 awards and won eight, more than any other designer and any woman in any category in Oscar history. In 1924, despite lacking art, design, and costume design experience, she was became a costume sketch artist at Paramount Pictures. She began designing costumes for silent films and, by the 1930s, had established herself as one of Hollywood's leading costume designers. She worked at Paramount for 43 years until she went to Universal Pictures in 1967, possibly prompted by her extensive work for director Alfred Hitchcock, who had moved to Universal, in 1960.
