Selected by the Costume Designers Branch. 

Bette Davis gave one of her most iconic performances as Charlotte Vale, the unhappy daughter of an emotionally abusive mother (Gladys Cooper), who is able to come out of her shell with the help of two men—a sympathetic therapist (Claude Rains) and a handsome married man (Paul Henreid). Davis’s transformation was helped greatly by the costume designs of three-time Oscar winner Orry-Kelly (An American in Paris, Some Like It Hot). The film was nominated for Davis and Cooper’s performances, and won for Max Steiner’s romantic score.
