From Vienna to Movies: Costume Designer Ruth Morley at 100, a Birthday Commemoration
Hosted By: The Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted, Ostracized and Banned Art
The Fritz Ascher Society for Persecuted, Ostracized and Banned Art presents a program on the life and work of costume designer Ruth Morley, discussed by her daughter and a longtime assistant and protégé. Morley, who escaped Vienna on a Kindertransport and built a groundbreaking four-decade career across film, theater, opera, dance, and television, left an enduring impact through works such as “Tootsie,” “Annie Hall,” “Taxi Driver,” and “The Miracle Worker,” as well as through the many designers she taught and mentored. Marking her centennial year, this event honors her legacy as part of the series “Flight or Fight: Stories of Artists Under Repression.”
