Late to this, but this article fails to credit Irene Sharaff for her Academy-Award-winning costumes in Cleopatra. Not all the jewelry was Bulgari; some was designed and constructed by Sharaff herself

@ScottChallener @mlmcgill There is really wonderful marginalia in William Pickens's copy of Douglass's Life and Times (https://t.co/JuqbskDvVg), which my colleague @MimoCT @BeineckeLibrary has shared pictures on here and Insta...

[Melissa Barton @melibssa]

@ScottChallener @mlmcgill I'd love to know about examples of his marginalia! Everything I'm thinking of is emendations to his own work on reading copies. There are 7-8 copies of his own books he used on lecture tours which include corrections and paste-ins.
