My Fair Lady Bertha Hill Worn Parlor Maid Skirt Costume

Description

My Fair Lady is a 1964 American musical film adapted from the Lerner and Loewe stage musical based on the 1913 stage play Pygmalion by George Bernard Shaw. With a screenplay by Alan Jay Lerner and directed by George Cukor, the film depicts a poor Cockney flower seller named Eliza Doolittle who overhears an arrogant phonetics professor, Henry Higgins, as he casually wagers that he could teach her to speak “proper” English, thereby making her presentable in the high society of Edwardian London.

The film stars Audrey Hepburn and Rex Harrison as Eliza Doolittle and Henry Higgins respectively, with Stanley Holloway, Gladys Cooper and Wilfrid Hyde-White in supporting roles. A critical and commercial success, it won eight Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Actor and Best Director.

Presented is a skirt worn by Bertha Hill in an uncredited role as a parlor maid as Jacqueline Squire in “My Fair Lady”. It features Warner Brother studio tagging.
