In this black-and-white photograph, Ruth Hussey, a renowned Hollywood actress, is seen donning a stunning gown designed by Dolly Tree for her role in the 1940 MGM film "Northwest Passage." At the height of her jazz age glamour, Hussey exudes an air of sophistication and mystery, her expressive eyes captivating the viewer's attention. The intricately beaded and sequined gown, a masterpiece by the celebrated costume designer Dolly Tree, perfectly embodies the period's opulence and elegance. The dress, adorned with intricate floral patterns and shimmering crystals, cascades gracefully down Hussey's slender figure, accentuating her hourglass silhouette. "Northwest Passage," a historical adventure film set in the late 17th century, marked a significant turning point in Hussey's career. Her portrayal of the cunning and manipulative Madame Marquise in the movie earned her critical acclaim and solidified her status as a leading actress in Hollywood. The photograph, taken during the film's production, offers a glimpse into the meticulous attention to detail that went into creating the film's costumes. Dolly Tree's designs, which included not only Hussey's iconic gown but also the extravagant attire worn by the film's other stars, transported audiences to a bygone era, immersing them in the rich history and grandeur of the Northwest Passage. This photograph is a testament to the enduring allure of Hollywood's golden age, a time when glamour, artistry, and storytelling came together to create unforgettable cinematic experiences. Ruth Hussey's captivating presence and Dolly Tree's exquisite design continue to captivate and inspire, making this image a true treasure in the annals of film history.
