No, you're not wrong. I don't know why Hepburn get all credits but Garbo do deserve it, though.

As well as I can remember GG firstly wore pants even earlier that in "Anna Christie". She did it in 1929 in "Single Standard":  So that she surely can be called the first to wear pants. |

BUT in ANNA CHRISTIE GG didn't wear throusers...
I think GG was one of the first who did wear throusers in a movie.. but, how hard to say NOW who was the first THEN...

I think because Kate, after, only wears pants.
She was quote with "his eternal boy pant"...
Garbo got the tittle, hmmm, but in 1934-1935, Hepburn appear in Sylvia Scarlett and play a young man. Thats just all confuse.

And let's not forget about Marlene Dietrich, who not only wore pants/men's clothes in movies but also in public....Garbo beat her to it with her outfit in "Single Standard" but Marlene was second, wearing not only pants but a full tux in "Morocco" in 1930...  To me, I see them all equally as women who helped fuel the "pants revolution"...and really it was not until WWII when pants became truly acceptable and common for women to wear, simply because of the practicality it offered them in th new tasks and heavier workload they were forced to undertake. So really it is not just one person, but a whole combination of people and events that had an effect on women being able to wer pants... |
