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.
