Rosemary's
"Calaveras Kate's"
Red Garters
Gown Dedication 
Saturday, June 2, 2012 at 2:00 p.m.

 

In 1953, while under contract with Paramount Studios, Rosemary Clooney filmed the "musical spoof of westerns," Red Garters with Guy Mitchell, Jack Carson, Buddy Ebsen, Pat Crowley and Gene Berry.

 

As was the case for all of Rosemary's Paramount movies, multi-Oscar winner Edith Head designed all of her beautiful costumes. The most elaborate of the Victorian style gowns was the one worn in the title song's production number Red Garters which found Rosemary singing on a bar with a host of chorus girls.

 

 

At 2 p.m. on Saturday, June 2, Nick and Nina Clooney will help The Rosemary Clooney House dedicated this gown to it's collection of costumes worn by Rosemary.
