   Her talented hands helped
create the dress that Scar-
let O’Hara wore in 1939 's
Academy Award winner, "Gone
With the Wind." She made
the dresses that Shirley
Temple and Deanna Durbin
wore in the pictures which
skyrocketed them into star-
dom.
   This studio seamstress
is Michi Okubo of 6G-3B,
who has worked for such
famous motion picture stu-
dios as RKO, Fox, Uni versa1,
Selznick, and United Art-
ists.   Her associations
with these studios during
the past 10 years began
with the completion of a
year's course in dressmak-
ing at Frank Wiggins Trade
school in Los Angeles.
   The rare and valuable
experiences Michi gained
during those years are not
limited to dressmaking a-
lone, for the time she
spent in watching the pro-
cess of movie-making has
given her a wide knowledge
of motion picture produc-
tion.   She remembers es-
pecially having enjoyed
seeing the entire filming
of the Academy Award win-
ners , "Kitty Foyle" and
"Suspicion."
   Michi's work has given
her many an opportunity to
meet the Hollywood idols.
She's met Clark Gable, Joan
Fontaine, Ginger Rogers,
Jimmy Stewart, and Ronald
Coleman (her favorite)-
to mention a few.
   Miss Okubo, who  possesses
a reserved but friendly
and pleasant personality,
wants to continue her ca-
reer in some eastern film
studio.    Meanwhile,  she
intends to work in some
fashion shop in New York.
