Episode 42: “Final Cut” with Costume Designer and Writer Marjorie McCown

Tune in as I chat with Costume Designer and Writer Marjorie McCown!

Marjorie began her career in theatre in New York City before moving to LA to work in film and landing a job as Ruth Myers Assistant Costume Designer on "The Addams Family." She also worked on other A-list features including "Forrest Gump."

If that doesn't make her cool enough, she pivoted into her passion for murder mysteries writing two of her own - "Final Cut" and "Star Struck," which are loosely based on Hollywood film sets.

Her reverence for the craft shines through the way she writes and speaks as she shared so much knowledge + this quote that I'd love to call out:

"The more generous you are, the more generosity you get."

In true fashion, Marjorie is sharing that generosity with Costumes & Coffee listeners by giving the first person to answer this question a copy of her first book:

Who would Marjorie choose to design costumes if her novels were developed into films?
