"Everybody Has Something To Hide" Reprise (Mata Hari)


In the autumn of 1967, Marisa Mell was in full rehearsal mode for the opening of the musical Mata Hari, planned for January 13th 1968 at the Alvin Theatre in New York City. So dress fittings were also on her agenda. This is a very rare photo from one of the dress fittings with famous costume designer Irene Sharaff, who did almost all famous Broadway musical productions of that era like Funny Girl and Hello, Dolly! with Barbra Streisand, and of course movies like Cleopatra with Elisabeth Taylor or the King and I with Yul Brynner. And as always Marisa Mell, being a heavy chain smoker, is smoking a cigarette during the dress fitting.
