Revealing Mistake


Did anyone else notice that when Jean Peters rises out of her bubble bath, a portion of the black strapless bra she's wearing is momentarily visible in the shot?

reply

Yeah but did you know that bra was designed for her by Howard Hughes?

Maybe she just had very large, dark nipples?

didn't notice that, i was fixated on her mouth, she looked fantastic in that scene, lying in the bath with a ciggy hanging out of her mouth.
and that would be an unrevealing mistake anyway :)

reply

She did look fantastic. But she was one of Howard Hughes' wives. (You can look it up.) That brought an end to her acting career for as long as the marriage lasted. The divorce also brought her a fantastic amount of money (allegedly) and her lifelong silence about anything related to HH.

reply

In all seriousness, did HH design her bra? I know he did Jane Russell's for "The Outlaw".

reply

Jean Peters got $70,000 a year after her divorce. A comfortable amount, but by Hollywood and Howard Hughes standards, pocket chnage. But then, she was not high maintenance.
