The
Edith Head Room is named after the famous clothes
designer for the movies who received eight Academy
Awards. This is her bedroom suite and portrait that
she had commissioned of herself. Edith Head owned
this bedroom set and sold it at auction just before
moving into the motion picture home and nine months
later passing away from cancer. She has won more academy
awards than any other person and was nominated for
35 Oscars.
