We couldn’t have been more excited that this was the cast we were doing it with,” exclaims costume designer Beth Morgan about working with cast of Fox’s “Call Me Kat.” The new sitcom stars four-time Emmy nominee Mayim Bialik as Kat, a upbeat and single woman in her thirties who opens a “cat cafe” in Kentucky. The supporting cast includes Emmy winners Swoosie Kurtz and Leslie Jordan, as well as Broadway star Cheyenne Jackson. In our exclusive video chat (watch above) Morgan, a two-time Emmy nominee for her work on “Deadwood” and “Glow,” discusses the unique challenges of working with a star-studded cast during a pandemic.
Because “Call Me Kat” was one of the first shows to go into production following the establishment of rigorous CoVid-19 protocols for film and television production, Morgan describes the unique challenges she faced in working with the cast. In working with Bialik,...

“Glow” costume designer Beth Morgan was excited to show not only the “glitz of Las Vegas” in the third season of Netflix’s 1980s-set wrestling comedy, but also “a few layers” of life on the Strip when the characters temporarily relocated to the fictional Fan-Tan Hotel & Casino to perform a live wrestling show.
For Morgan, one part of capturing the Vegas of yesteryear was designing “how women were overly sexualized as cocktail waitresses,” so she went for authentic cuts and fabrics found in the town back in the day. But another part was putting a “Glow” spin on such costumes via an intentional combination of “all the Asian cultures” for the Fan-Tan Hotel & Casino. The waitresses there wore a mish-mash of styles and accessories, including fans, to create an aesthetic that she notes was supposed to be somewhat “ignorant” of the time and place.

It’s been well over nine months since the third season of “Glow,” Netflix’s most-underrated comedy series, landed on the streaming service, which means that anxious television viewers have had plenty of time to binge the show centered around a band of misfits in the 1980s trying to make good via the wonderful world of women’s wrestling.

The Costume Designers Guild announced their nominations for the 22nd Cdga Awards on Tuesday. Among the nominees are Arianne Phillips for “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” Mayes C. Rubeo for “Jojo Rabbit” and Mitchell Travers for “Hustlers.” “The Irishman” is notably absent from the field.

Nominees for the 22nd annual Costume Designer Guild Awards included frontrunning period pieces “Dolemite Is My Name,” “Once Upon a Time in Hollywood,” and “Rocketman.” They were joined by “Downton Abbey” and “Jojo Rabbit.” This definitely bodes well for Ruth Carter (“Dolemite”) in her bid for a second consecutive Oscar following “Black Panther.”
However, surprise no shows were “Joker,” “The Irishman,” “Little Women,” and “Judy.” And, Deborah Cook, who became the first costume designer from animation to get nominated by the Cdga for her breakthrough work on “Kubo and the Two Strings,” was denied this time around for her great Victorian-era work on Laika’s stop-motion Oscar contender, “Missing Link.”
Contemporary nominees, meanwhile, included “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,” “Hustlers,” “Knives Out,” “The Laundromat,” and “Queen & Slim.” But “Bombshell” didn’t make the cut.

[Editor’s note: The following post contains some spoilers for “Glow” Season 3.]
After two seasons leading the costuming department on Netflix’s hit series “Glow,” series costume designer Beth Morgan couldn’t wait to go crazy when the show decamped for Las Vegas for its third season. While the wrestling-centric series has always married do-it-yourself pluckiness with high camp, moving the action to 1986 Las Vegas opened up a wealth of new possibilities for Morgan and the show’s cast of characters.
“What I’m so proud of as far as the look [of the series] is that we’ve never had it be over-the-top, it’s always been like your memory of the ’80s,” Morgan said in a recent interview with IndieWire. “It’s like the Jc Penneys and the Benettons and the real, everyday look of the ’80s. So as soon as I knew that we were going to Vegas, I was like, ‘oh, we get to do the crazy part of the ’80s!

Beth Morgan received her first Emmy nom for the first television show on which she ever worked, “Deadwood.” Now, she is nominated in the period costumes category again for the costume design of Netflix’s “Glow.” Morgan is up for the second season finale “Every Potato Has a Receipt,” in which she got the chance to create a full set of bridesmaids leotards for a special stunt in the 1980s wrestling comedy. But not to be outdone, she worked hard to top herself in Season 3, when the characters went on the road to Vegas.
In the second season, the female wrestling troupe becomes much more comfortable in the ring and the actresses perform more complicated stunts. How did that kind of wear and tear affect the amount of doubles of costumes you needed?
It didn’t affect it as much as some shows because we don’t have stunt doubles.

“The Conners are self-deprecating and it’s one of the ways that they get through their daily struggles, but we see them as having a tremendous amount of dignity,” “The Conners” co-developer Dave Caplan told an audience of Emmy voters and their guests at the annual ABC Fyc Day (watch the video above). “The working class is the nobility of the country; they’re the ones who truly make sacrifices,” showrunner Bruce Helford asserted. Sharing the stage also with stars Michael Fishman, Sara Gilbert and Lecy Goranson, Helford prefaced, “Almost all of us — the writing staff and most of the cast — come from a working-class background. I grew up in Chicago and broke, my mom would put me on the phone with the bill collectors and say, ‘No, please, my mom’s not here; don’t turn off the lights’.”

She explains about working on the 1985-set dramedy for Netflix, “It’s not every day as a costume designer that you get the possibility to work on such an elaborate show that’s so fun and has so many different body types and so many different things that have to happen in the ring as far as stunts and mobility for all the girls.”

The death of fashion and costume designer Karl Lagerfeld cast somewhat of a shadow over the usually jubilant Costume Designers Guild Awards — the only award show where clothes literally steal the spotlight away from actors — which was held at the Beverly Hilton on Tuesday night. Here it was obvious that Lagerfeld’s impact on Hollywood went far beyond an uncredited cameo in “Zoolander.”
Glenn Close, who was being honored with the spotlight award, recalled her one and only encounter with Lagerfeld. “I’m not deep into the world of fashion, but I did meet him personally on the set of ‘101 Dalmatians’ and we had this incredible photo shoot,” Close said. “He was wonderful — I got along really well with him. And the thing that I find so impressive is that he designed himself, you know? This person with the high collars and the dark glasses and the gloves. It’s like: Wow,...

An iconic women’s wrestling series of the ’80s, Glow (Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling) is remembered for its big, frizzy hair, glittery eye makeup and a charmingly scrappy aesthetic—the colorful visual choices it made with its characters. Bringing the Ladies into the comedy arena with Netflix’s Glow, series creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch were always going to bump up against the legacy of the original series, with the need for hair and makeup that would do it justice.
Enter Theraesa Rivers and Lana Horochowski, experts in period work—known for projects including Mad Men and The Last Tycoon—who could pull from their own childhood memories to portray ’80s stylings in a nuanced fashion. While the ’80s was a relatively easy decade to tackle, thinking back on their previous period efforts, the collaborators had to figure out how to design with the action of the wrestling ring in mind,...

On many levels, dressing the characters in “Glow” was a dream job for costume designer Beth Morgan. Not only was the creation of the costumes fun and inventive, she says, but each of the characters on the Netflix series is so well developed that it gave her countless opportunities to individualize them.
“It’s such a great story about women,” says Morgan, who has created looks for TV shows such as “Last Man on Earth” and “Key & Peele.” On both seasons of “Glow” she’s designed costumes for all the show’s characters entirely from scratch, talking at length about each character’s style and outfits with show creators Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch.
Netflix dropped the second season into streaming June 29. From the start, as the show built and the female grapplers began to form their ragamuffin group, Morgan made sure she was peppering each episode with unique pieces...

The Oscar frontrunner for Best Costume Design, “Phantom Thread,” stumbled at the guild awards on Feb. 20, losing the Best Period Film category to one of its Oscar rivals, “The Shape of Water.” Another Oscar nominee, “Beauty and the Beast,” lost the Fantasy Film race to “Wonder Woman.” The other two Academy Awards contenders — “Darkest Hour” and “Victoria and Abdul” — were snubbed by the Costume Designers Guild at its 20th annual awards, which took place at the Beverly Hilton .
But don’t rule out “Phantom Thread” for the Oscar just yet. Remember, only nine of the most recent 19 Oscar champs for Best Costume Design came into the evening with a Cdg award on their mantle. Indeed, just last year the academy went with the fantasy film “Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,” which had lost at the guild to “Doctor Strange.”

The Costume Designers Guild nominees for the 20th annual Cdg Awards in film, TV, and shortform costume design have landed. Three costume categories separate contemporary, period, and fantasy/sci-fi, so there’s room for more contemporary titles such as “I, Tonya” and “Kingsman: The Golden Circle” which are less likely to make it to the big Oscar show. Period films like “Phantom Thread” and “The Shape of Water” and big-scale fantasies like “Thor: Ragnarok” tend to make the Oscar grade. Given the number of slots, among the notable snubs are period films “Darkest Hour” (which boasts more showy costumes than nominated “Dunkirk”), “The Post,” “The Beguiled,” “Victoria & Abdul,” and “Mudbound.”
On the television side, a number of popular picks emerged with nods, including “Game of Thrones,” “Black Mirror,” “The Crown,” and “Stranger Things.” Like the film nods, each category is divided by contemporary, period, and fantasy/sci-fi designations.

Given the number of slots, among the notable snubs are period films “Darkest Hour” (which boasts more showy costumes than nominated “Dunkirk”), “The Post,” “The Beguiled,” “Victoria & Abdul,” and “Mudbound.”
On the television side, a number of popular picks emerged with nods, including...

Los Angeles — Harry Morgan wasn't a star and didn't need to be. In "M-a-s-h," "Dragnet" and so many other TV shows and movies, the veteran character actor proved as indispensable as any marquee name.
Imagine "M-a-s-h" without the no-nonsense but fair Army Col. Sherman Potter, who knew how to traverse the line between military discipline and wartime humanity.
Here's Potter, on his first day as commander of a Korean War hospital camp, discovering the moonshine-making operation run by his brilliant but wayward surgeons and holding his fire: "Had a still in Guam in World War II. One night it blew up. That's how I got my Purple Heart."
Or go back to the 1960s version of "Dragnet" and Morgan's tour of duty as police Officer Bill Gannon, playing droll foil to laconic Jack Webb's Sgt. Joe Friday. Or consider Morgan's stalwart judge at the center of an intellectual clash in "Inherit the Wind,...

Harry Morgan never planned to be an actor, yet he spent 10 years on one of the top TV series of all time, made 50 films and appeared on Broadway. He became one of the best-known character actors in Hollywood.
But it was Morgan’s portrayal of the fatherly Col. Sherman Potter on M-a-s-h for which Morgan became most famous, and he knew it.
“M-a-s-h was so damned good,” Morgan told The Associated Press. “I didn’t think they could keep the level so high.”
His wry humor, which helped net him an Emmy for the CBS-tv hit, carried onto the show.

"He was an imp," said Mike Farrell, who starred as B.J. Hunnicutt in "M-a-s-h" along with Morgan and Alan Alda. "As Alan once said, there's not an un-adorable bone in the man's body. He was full of fun, and he was smart as a whip."

Harry Morgan, who played Col. Sherman Potter on TV's M*A*S*H and Jack Webb's detective partner in Dragnet, died Wednesday at age 96. The actor died in his home in Los Angeles after suffering from pneumonia, his daughter-in-law Beth Morgan tells the Associated Press. "He was side-splittingly funny, a very gentle and loving father-in-law," Beth Morgan said. "He was very humble about having such a successful career." The Detroit-born Morgan became interested in acting while taking public speaking courses at the University of Chicago. Local theater stints led to a Broadway production of Golden Boy with Karl Malden and Lee J. Cobb.
