Anthea Sylbert (Giannakouros) was a real trailblazer. A two-time Oscar-nominated costume designer, she worked on iconic films such as Rosemary’s Baby and the classic film-noir Chinatown. She also designed Julie Christie’s famous black dress for Shampoo. Sylbert was one of the few women in the New Hollywood era to transition from the creative side of filmmaking to the business side: she served as an executive at Warner Bros. and United Artists before co-founding SylbertHawn Film Productions with her close friend, actress Goldie Hawn.

The feature documentary ”Anthea Sylbert: My Life in 3 Acts” chronicles her remarkable life, spanning three decades of Hollywood history, through her own words and the testimonies of those who know her well, such as Oscar-winning actress Goldie Hawn and legendary costume designer & historian Deborah Nadoolman Landis.

The documentary paints a vivid portrait of Anthea’s journey from her early years in New York, to her time in the dazzling Los Angeles of the New Hollywood era, and the paradise she eventually chose for herself – a place filled with sun, sea, and the fragrance of bougainvillea.
