She had made five movies in just eight months, and Alfred Hitchcock was waiting for her down in Cannes, ready to start another. Grace had only a few hours in the French capital between her morning arrival by plane and her evening departure on the famous Blue Train for the Riviera, and by rights she should have caught up on her sleep. But she could think of better things to do in Paris on a bright spring day. Grace went shopping.“Let’s go and buy some gloves,” she said to Edith Head, who was traveling with her. “The nicest gloves in the world are at a place called Hermes.”“And so we went in there,” Edith Head later remembered, “like two little girls who must go and have an ice cream soda, and, of course, she fell in love with the gloves, and the people in the shop fell in love with her, and at the end they presented her with a package and a bill that was astronomical. Grace said, T haven’t got that much money.’ So we put both our money together, and we still didn’t have enough.
