*Adrian, Gilbert* - Adrian (born "Adrian Adolph Greenburg") initially went to Hollywood as a freelance designer for Mae Murray and Rudolph Valentino, among others. He was then hired by Cecil B. DeMille, moving along with DeMille to the MGM studio in 1928, where he was soon designing costumes for the studio's leading actresses. (He stayed with MGM until 1941.)

 

He began designing for Joan Crawford in 1929, discarding her earlier frilly flapper styles for a more sleek, tailored look. His padded-shouldered creations for her '32 film Letty Lynton became a nationwide sensation; costume designer Edith Head later called "Lynton" the "single most important influence on fashion in film history." Adrian designed all of Joan's onscreen clothes, and some of her personal wardrobe, throughout her MGM years.
