While known to have designed the wedding dresses of many actresses, including Grace Kelly, Debbie Reynolds, and Elizabeth Taylor, Helen Rose was an Oscar-winning costume designer. A graduate of the Chicago Academy of Fine Arts, she moved to Los Angeles in 1929 where she designed for Fanchion and Marco as well as the Ice Follies. At 20th Century Fox, Rose specialized in fashion or musical sequences. MGM would hire her in 1943 and would eventually be promoted to chief designer. It was at MGM she was nominated and won for the Academy Award for Best Costume Design for "The Bad and the Beautiful" (1952) and "I'll Cry Tomorrow" (1955).
