Award-winning costume designer, Jean-Pierre Dorléac's entertaining chronicle of 12 years, The Naked Truth, mixes social, business and personal meetings together with revealing private stories to create an intoxicating account of the theater, film and television industry from a unique point of view, never-before heard.

Additionally, there are anecdotes on how thousands of designs originated from production meetings and first sketches, through the knowledge required to cut and blend specific fabrics to create the composition of color and pattern required by the script ... and finally, the finishing touches of their construction.

Guided by the treasured advice of his mentor, Edith Head, and his many years as an actor, Dorléac was able to successfully retain his composure in exasperating situations and skillfully maintain his balance between obstreperous actors, demanding directors, and powerful producers.

This often funny and quite fortuitous success story is filled with splashy tales and entertaining confrontations involving glamour, politics, graft, sex, scandal, and candid accounts of the glitter and tinsel capital's assets being sold off by the new capitalist.

About the Author - Jean-Pierre Dorléac is no stranger to the film industry. His award-winning costume designs can be seen in Somewhere in Time, The Blue Lagoon, Heart and Souls, Battlestar Galactica, Quantum Leap, Knightrider, Airwolf, The Lot and numerous other award winning productions.
