Zoe Kurland

And I also have great respect for the actor.

I mean, you can't... I would never say, Julia, your boobs.

I would just never do that.

Because that's just inappropriate.

And it's a serious business.

You know, it was not a joke.

We were trying to create something real.

my dad takes his work extremely seriously fake boobs were not on the table that would be anti-real but this was the 20th century push-up bra technology of the time was not up to the task regular bras didn't work so my dad and his collaborator seamstress mary ellen fields got creative we used everything there was out there

They made these little things called cutlets.

They were used for people who had to have mastectomies.

They had gel in them, so they moved rather like

A bosom.

And so that was very helpful also.

And then it was just the bra itself, just the tightening and the pushing and the pulling and the filling and all of that.

So it was pads on the side, pads on the bottom, tight through the back and close in the front.

After much trial and error, hours in the fitting room, they got it.

In the end, basically, her bosom sat on a shelf in the bra that lifted it and pushed it together.

Do you remember when people saw Julia for the first time in the outfits?

Oh, they loved it.

Everyone was like, just they thought it was great, you know, because it was a transformation.
