Playing Julius Caesar in Cleopatra, Rex Harrison allowed his own skinny frame to be beefed up with foam rubber, so much that the daggers kept bouncing off him during the death scene. So reports Oscar-Winning Designer Irene Sharaff, 64, describing the care and costuming of actors in a new memoir titled Broadway and Hollywood, Costumes Designed by Irene Sharaff. Stars are like "anyone else in underwear," she insists. In The Bishop's Wife (1948), for instance...
