I'd like to meet:
Sandy Powell. I would love to have the oppertunity to work with her on a theatrical or film costuming project. She is a British costume designer who has beautiful vision and pays great attention to detail. She was nominated for two Oscars in the same year for the work that she did on "Shakespeare in Love" and "The Velvet Goldmine" and took the gold man home for "Shakespeare in Love".When I grow up I would like to be a combination of Lauren Bacal, Jane Russel and Tina Turner. Now that is a powerful pack of ladies.
