Chanel 1929 by Edward Steichen
In 
1929, Chanel was introduced to Sam Goldwyn who agreed to pay her one million dollars a year , provided 
that she make two trips a year to Hollywood. She subsequently designed the costumes for three Hollywood films: “Palmy Days” (1931),
Tonight or Never” (1931)
and “The Greeks Had a Word For It” (1932) (AKA “Three Broadway Girls”)
Despite the success of these films, Coco never returned to California for an encore. She found it difficult being subordinate to the stars and some actresses even refused to wear her designs because they were not flamboyant enough. Huh? Check out the fur-trimmed evening coat in “Palmy Days” for Chanel at her most glamorous.
