Excerpt from Sidney Lumet’s Making Movies<\/a>\"\"<\/i>:<\/p>\n

Sidney Lumet<\/i>:<\/p>\n

Nothing helps actors more than the clothes they wear. Ann Roth is an amazing costume designer. She can take the most everyday clothes and turn them into some sort of contribution, to both the actor and the picture.<\/p>\n

On Family Business<\/i>, Sean Connery came into rehearsal after having been with Ann for a clothes fitting. He looked happy. I asked him how it had gone. “She’s bloody marvelous,” he said. “She’s given me the whole bloody character now.”<\/p>\n

That’s the greatest compliment an actor can give.<\/p>\n

It’s the equivalent of saying, “We’re all making the same picture.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
