Also discussed in this section are Gloria Swanson's attitude towards her characterization, Edith Head's intentions in creating a specific wardrobe and look for the character, the work of make-up artist Wally Westmore and the acknowledgement of influences such as Coco Chanel. This single image ties the discussion of all of these points, and enhances the effectiveness of this section of text, and therefore the article as a whole, by demonstrating how the contributions of each of these people resulted in the specific style of the film. It provides a clearer representation than could be achieved solely with prose.
