The White Shirt In The Deep

The Deep would not have become this popular if it had not been for the white T-shirt that Jacqueline Bisset wore. It hardly covered anything as she emerged from the water. It is said that the director bragged about how this piece of garment turned him into a rich man. This also propelled Bisset into sex symbol status, but she was not happy with it. “I’d like to get my public image nearer to my reality,” the actress told Roger Ebert in 1982. She said that it led to “a lot of misconceptions.” In 2018, Bisset informed the New York Post that she felt like she was “going to die!” when she saw it onscreen.

The Frank-N-Furter Outfit In The Rocky Horror Picture Show

There are not many costumes as iconic as the Frank-N-Furter outfit donned by Tim Curry in The Rocky Horror Picture Show. The movie earned a lot of controversy even though it flopped at the box office. While it is famous now, it only gained a cult following later on. These days, you can’t go to a party without seeing anyone dressed like Frank-N-Furter. The credit for the costumes goes to none other than Sue Blane. In 2011, the designer shared, “Luckily Tim had worked in a corset before so he took to it like a duck takes to water.” She said that she was blown away by all the people in Frank-N-Furter costumes she saw at the movie viewings. That is not bad at all for a movie banned in many places.
