HAPPY BIRTHDAY, COCO!

Coco Chanel (1883 - 1971)

The groundbreaking and fabulous Coco Chanel, couturier par excellence, born on this date in 1883.

Here she is portrayed on Broadway by none other than Katharine Hepburn in the musical "Coco".

Both women complete originals. Enjoy.
(Brilliant staging by Michael Bennett)

Good gosh. Born in 1883? An icon one has always heard about but personally I knew no time frame. I don't care for KH though. Something very irritating about her. But I can't recall any of her old movies that I have seen. Something for my to do list.
