Most Famous Role: Bye Bye Birdie, 1963
Most Fashionable Role: Tommy, 1975
Memorable Movie Quote: “Do you think it’s alright Leaving Tommy by the mirror? You would think he had sight, Been staring half the night. Do you think it’s alright?”
The Look: 1960′s Britain; Nora Walker, the mother of a child who becomes deaf, dumb and blind after witnessing a shocking event, spends much of her time consumed with distress and guilt over her son. Based on The Who‘s rock opera, the costumes are psychadelic and outlandish, with everything from leopard print and silver mesh to chocolate sauce and baked beans (just see the movie, trust me). With a tragic story, Nora’s outfits serve as both distraction from and proof of all the lunacy.

Thanks Dana because Ann Margret is my favorite 60s sex kitten. That crochet jumpsuit is worth watching Tommy for.
