Cathy A. Smith: Emmy Winning Costume Designer & Historian - Epi. 248, Host Dr. Mark Sublette

Cathy Smith joined us on the podcast today and we had a
delightful talk. She is a world-renowned costume designer and has
worked on major motion pictures and in television.

Her big break was 'Dances with Wolves,' a movie that dramatically
changed Native American representation in film. Cathy went on to
win an Emmy and is honored in the Cowgirl Hall of Fame for her
contributions to Western media.

Even with all of these accolades and accomplishments, she really
struggled to begin with. It took her a long time to break into
what became her claim to fame. Fast-forward to today and Cathy is
a leader in set design and period-accurate Native American
clothing. These days Cathy has a museum that she owns and
operates up at the Nambe Trading Post just North of Santa
Fe. 

This was a really fun podcast and I think you'll enjoy Cathy's
story. Cathy A. Smith on episode 248 of Art Dealer Diaries
