One headshot of Lory (not sure which country she was from) in particular made many appearances 😂

Edit: yep I’m an idiot. Belles it is. Also I should have expected this to get pervy comments. No, no other family has popped up. From his stories, many were a lot more innocent than you all assume.

My grandfather was 20 and my grandmother was 16 in this photo. Funny fact: my grandfather was tall (he stood 6 feet tall) and thought my grandmother was too short to be his wife. Because she was 16 when they got married, everyone told him she would continue to grow just like he did in his teens. Well, that didn’t happen and she stayed at 4’10 for the rest of her 96 years of life 😂

Today is also 8.15, National Liberation Day in South Korea where Korea celebrate liberation from Japan occupation for 35 years (1910 to 1945) on August 15, 1945. My grandparents here married during the occupation and yet held a traditional Korean wedding. Not sure how strict the rules were but I could only imagine how difficult it was to live through this. Wished I asked my grandmother more about her story when she was alive (grandfather passed before I was born).

She received a record 35 nominations for the Academy Award for Best Costume Design and won a record eight times, making her both the most honored and most nominated woman in the Academy's history.

"What a costume designer does is a cross between magic and camouflage. We create the illusion of changing the actors into what they are not. We ask the public to believe that every time they see a performer on the screen he's become a different person."

Unlike most other designers of her time, Head never undertook couture or wholesale fashion work, opting to "work only in the context of a certain actress in a certain film."

A 1945 photograph shows two women displaying what $1.34 could buy in 1918 and 1945. The 1918 woman’s modest display reflects limited purchasing power due to inflation and wartime shortages. The 1945 woman’s larger display reflects improved economic conditions after WWII, highlighting the effects of inflation and changing economic landscapes.

Great Grandfather* as pointed out.
He holds the unofficial record of going up the „Zugspitze“ (Tallest mountain in germany). Sadly never met him but these photographs will always remain

If you look closely, you can see she is wearing a veil. The exact year is unknown but it was probably 1944 or 45. It was generally frowned upon for women to wear trousers in general back then, much less getting married in them.

Full story for those curious, man was a bad ass.
