What a useful and necessary piece of studio equipment. Not only helping the stars to relax between takes, THE SLANT BOARD also kept costumes wrinkle-less .
Sometimes it was extremely difficult to sit anyway – check out Jean Harlow’s white satin dress in “Dinner at Eight.”!
Constance Bennett, Gregory La Cava.THE AFFAIRS OF CELLINI – apparently the first time the slant board was used.

As important as anything else on a set. I was surprised years ago on a set tour of Guiding Light to see why the rich characters always looked so rich!
These costumes must have cost a fortune!
Love this interesting piece of history!
And amazing to think that many of these costumes have survived.
