Poggioli n The nglish Patient. In fact, when we were prepping a scene you told me something I have had in my mind for my entire career To make it as believable as possible, the costume must contain something that does not make it perfect, a wrong accessory, a color mismatch.' Roth I don't say, I have to do something to ruin this costume.' laughs It came very naturally to me that I would do something weird, peculiar, or eccentric. And I would say, Why should it be perfect' In fact, the hat on iola Davis in Ma ainey's lack ottom let's say some woman in Missis sippi made that dress for her and that she had a fur. She wanted to look sensational as she walked down those steps, but she had a newsboy hat on her head because that's what she thought was hot stuff . She liked it. She really didn't give a damn about all those women sitting in that hotel tea room looking perfect. She wanted that weird hat on her head, which was a little boy's hat. That is a good example of what Carlo's talking about, the imperfection, the thing that is out of character, or maybe it's in character. Wyckoff There's a truth that leaps off the screen with your work. That's why I was so taken with the last fi lm. With every thing you do, you answer to the intention. ou're not afraid.

Like any great story, the hero has a drive and motivation the audience never sees. Following her CDGA win for Period Film and recent Best Costume Oscar for Ma Rainey's Black Bottom, Communications Director Anna Wyckoff spoke with Roth and her long-time colleague, fellow costume designer Carlo Poggi- oli. "I want to say something about our friendship, our experiences together, and the Ann people don't know," he confi des.
