Bob Mackie

Robert Gordon Mackie (born March 24, 1939) is an American fashion designer  and costumier, best known for his dressing of entertainment icons such as Lucille Ball , Carol Burnett , Diahann Carroll , Carol Channing , Cher , Bette Midler , Doris Day , Marlene Dietrich , Barbara Eden , Lola Falana , Farrah Fawcett , Judy Garland , Mitzi Gaynor , Liza Minnelli , Marilyn Monroe , Marie Osmond , Lynn Anderson , Diana Ross , Tina Turner , Julia Louis-Dreyfuss , and Barbra Streisand , among others. He was the costume designer  for all the performers on The Carol Burnett Show  during its entire eleven-year run. For his work, Mackie has received nine Primetime Emmy Awards , a Tony Award , and three nominations for the Academy Award for Best Costume Design . In April 2023, Mackie was awarded with the inaugural Giving Us Life-time Achievement Award by RuPaul  at the RuPaul's Drag Race Season 15  finale.

Early life

Mackie was born March 24, 1939, in Monterey Park, California , to Charles Robert Mackie and Mildred Agnes (née  Smith) Mackie. His father worked at Bank of America . He has an older sister.

He was raised in early childhood by his maternal grandparents in Alhambra , California because his parents divorced. By high school he moved to Rosemead , California and lived with his father. He attended Rosemead High School .

Mackie continued his education at Pasadena City College  and one-year study at Chouinard Art Institute  but left without earning a degree from either school. At Chouinard, Mackie studied under Eva Roberts, the head of the fashion design department. He left Chouinard early because he got his first job sketching for Frank Thompson at Paramount Studios . Between 1960 until 1963, Mackie worked as a novice designer and assistant under designer Ray Aghayan  at Paramount Studios.

Professional career The curtain dress, worn by Carol Burnett  in "Went with the Wind! " on The Carol Burnett Show , a parody of Gone With The Wind .

In 1961, while he was working at Paramount Studios, costumer Edith Head  found Mackie.

In Mackie's early career he worked as a sketch artist for French haute couturier Jean Louis , who is noted for crafting stage gowns worn by actress Marlene Dietrich  during her career as a cabaret singer. As one of his first assignments, he drew the original sketch of Marilyn Monroe ’s dress worn in 1962 at President John F. Kennedy 's birthday celebration at Madison Square Garden  in New York.

In 1966, Mackie was hired by Mitzi Gaynor  to design her new stage show at the Riviera  in Las Vegas . Mitzi was the first star client for whom Mackie designed an entire show. He would continue to design for Mitzi's television specials and live stage shows for the next 50 years. He won two Emmy Awards  for Outstanding Achievement in Costume Design for Music-Variety for Mitzi's TV specials "Mitzi...Roarin' in the Twenties" (1976) and "Mitzi...Zings Into Spring" (1977).

In 1969, Mackie was hired to design costumes for Diana Ross , The Supremes , and The Temptations  in the television special GIT: On Broadway. In 1972, he and Aghayan were nominated for Best Costume Design  for Lady Sings The Blues , starring Diana Ross . Mackie and Diana Ross continued their collaborative efforts well into the 21st century, with Mackie designing stage costumes for Ross' 2010 More Today Than Yesterday: The Greatest Hits Tour .[citation needed ]

Mackie designed costumes for the Las Vegas Strip -based burlesque  shows, Hallelujah Hollywood, which was inspired by the Ziegfeld Follies  and ran at the MGM Grand  (now Bally's Las Vegas ) from 1974 to 1980, and Jubilee! , which ran from 1981 to 2016. Both productions involve intricate, elaborate costumes and grandiose sets.

Images of many of Mackie's design drawings for these productions are available in the "Showgirls" collection from UNLV Libraries Digital Collections . He created the costumes for Cher ’s 2008–11 Las Vegas  Cher at the Colosseum  residency at Caesars Palace , as well as for her 2017 “Classic Cher ” shows in Las Vegas  and Washington D.C.

Two of Mackie's best-remembered creations had a humorous aspect. While working on The Carol Burnett Show , he designed a "curtain dress" (complete with a curtain rod across the shoulders) that Carol Burnett  wore in Went with the Wind! , a parody of Gone with the Wind . He designed the exotic ensemble worn by Cher  at the March 1986 Academy Awards : black stretch pants, a bejeweled loincloth, knee-high boots, a black chainlink top, and a huge feathered Mohawk headdress that was one and a half times taller than her head. Introduced by Jane Fonda  with the words, "Wait'll you see what's gonna come out here". "As you can see," said Cher, "I did receive my Academy booklet on how to dress like a serious actress."

Mackie designed costumes for Whitney Houston , especially splashy evening gowns which she wore for many years during concert tours and award shows. He was often referred to as "the sultan of sequins " or "the rajah of rhinestones ", known for his sparkling and imaginative costume designs. He has won nine Emmy Awards  for his designs, and has been nominated three times for an Academy Award. Mackie has said, "A woman who wears my clothes is not afraid to be noticed."

In 1981, Mackie guest starred as himself on two episodes of the television series The Love Boat . In 2002, Mackie was inducted into the Television Hall of Fame . In more recent years, Mackie has been mainly known as the costume designer for Cher's elaborate outfit during her latest tours, including her latest Here We Go Again Tour. In 2019, Mackie won the Tony Award for Best Costume Design in a Musical  for his work on The Cher Show .

More recently in 2020, Mackie's dresses were featured and worn by television hostess Vanna White  over the week of April 27 in the long-running syndicated  game show Wheel of Fortune  as part of honoring the San Francisco Bay Area .

Bob Mackie designs for Cher  and Farrah Fawcett  on The Sonny & Cher Show  (1976)

Personal life

On March 14, 1960, Mackie married LuLu Porter (née Marianne Wolford), a singer, actress, and later an acting teacher. The couple had had a son, Robert Gordon Mackie Jr. (known as "Robin"), the previous year. The couple divorced in 1963. Robin, a makeup artist, died in 1993 at the age of 33 of an AIDS -related illness, predeceasing his parents.

Beginning in 1963, Mackie's significant other  was costume designer Ray Aghayan , whom Mackie worked with as an assistant. The two worked together through the 1970s, as well as having separate clients. They remained together until Aghayan's death in 2011.

Mattel Inc.

Mattel, Inc. (/m ə ˈ t ɛ l /  mə-TEL ) is an American multinational  toy manufacturing  and entertainment  company founded in Los Angeles  by Harold Matson and the husband-and-wife duo of Ruth  and Elliot Handler  in January 1945 and headquartered in El Segundo, California . Mattel has a presence in 35 countries and territories; its products are sold in more than 150 countries. Mattel consists of three business segments: North America, International and American Girl .

It is the world's second largest toy maker in terms of revenue, after The Lego Group . Two of its historic and most valuable brands, Barbie  and Hot Wheels , were respectively named the top global toy property and the top-selling global toy of the year for 2020 and 2021 by The NPD Group , a global information research company.

History

Origins and early years Logo from 1969 to 2019

Businessman Harold "Matt" Matson and the husband-and-wife duo of Elliot and Ruth  Handler founded Mattel as Mattel Creations in January 1945 in a garage in Los Angeles . The company name chosen is a portmanteau  of the surname of Matson and first name of Elliot, with former chairman and CEO Bob Eckert revealing at a 2013 Christmas Day Peninsula Seniors  lecture that the founders, according to Elliot, couldn't fit Ruth's name into that of their company. The company began selling picture frames and later dollhouse furniture out of the scraps from those frames. Matson sold his share and stake to the Handlers due to poor health the following year, with Handler's wife, Ruth, taking over his stake. In 1947, the company had its first successful toy, a ukulele  called "Uke-A-Doodle".

The company was incorporated in Hawthorne, California  in 1948. In 1950, the Magic 8-Ball , currently owned by Mattel themselves, was invented by Albert C. Carter and Abe Bookman. Mattel started television advertisement  when it became the first sponsor of the Mickey Mouse Club  TV series. The Fisher-Price Corn Popper , and the Xylophone  was released in 1957. Mattel would ultimately acquire Fisher-Price on August 20, 1993. The Barbie  doll debuted on March 9, 1959, going on to become the company's best-selling toy in history. In 1960, Mattel introduced Chatty Cathy , a talking doll that was voiced by June Foray  and revolutionized the toy industry, leading to pull-string talking dolls and toys flooding the market throughout the 1960s and 1970s. In 1961, Mattel introduced the Ken doll . The company went public in 1960 and became listed on the New York Stock Exchange  3 years later. Mattel also acquired a number of like-minded companies during the 1960s.

The Barbie Dreamhouse made with cardboard and paper made its debut in 1962, when also the Astronaut Barbie, the first of many space-themed iterations of the doll, was introduced. In 1965, the company built on its success with the Chatty Cathy doll to introduce the See 'n Say  talking toy, spawning a line of products. Barbie traveled to the moon four years before Neil Armstrong. In 1967, Mattel released a toy astronaut with space vehicles and a moon base for boys, with a gumby-like central character named Major Matt Mason.

On May 18, 1968, Hot Wheels  was released to the market. Hot Wheels was invented by a team of Mattel inventors, which included a rocket scientist and a car designer. That year also saw another doll release, this time, Christie, Barbie's friend and the first black doll, which in the following years and decades would spawn an endless line of Barbie-themed and branded family and friends . In 1969, Mattel changed the Mattel Creations and the "Mattel, Inc. – Toymakers" marketing brands to just Mattel and launched the "red sun" logo with the Mattel wordmark in all capitals for better identity. In 1970, Hot Wheels forged a sponsorship agreement with drag racing drivers Don “The Snake” Prudhomme  and Tom “The Mongoose” McEwen . In addition to other marketing measures, the two racers’ cars, a yellow Barracuda and a red Duster, were reproduced as Hot Wheels toys.

In May 1970, Mattel formed a joint venture film production company "Radnitz/Mattel Productions" with producer Robert B. Radnitz , which would kickstart Mattel's venture into full-time entertainment to accompany its most famed toy TV commercials, and later entered a multimillion-dollar partnership with Mehra Entertainment, whose CEO, Dr. Nishpeksh Padmamohan Mehra and Nishchal Shome, are one of Mattel's Inc.'s main directors for Barbie (film series) .

The card game Uno  (now stylized as UNO) was invented by Merle Robbins  in 1971, and was acquired by Mattel in 1996.

In 1971, Mattel purchased The Ringling Bros. and Barnum & Bailey Circus  from the Feld family  for $40 million, whom Mattel kept on as management. Mattel sold the circus corporation by December 1973 although it was profitable; Mattel showed a $29.9 million loss in 1972.

In 1974, an investigation found Mattel guilty of issuing false and misleading financial reports, which led to the banishing of Elliot and Ruth Handler from the company they had founded.
