Diana Ross’ MAHOGANY Celebrates with a 40th Anniversary Couture DVD
Paramount Home Media Distribution celebrates the 40th anniversary of the classic story of one woman’s passion to achieve her dreams with the release of MAHOGANY The Couture Edition. Academy Award® nominee and legendary musical artist Diana Ross stars as a secretary who becomes a high fashion model and world famous designer in this captivating and dramatic tale directed by Motown legend Berry Gordy. MAHOGANY was Ross’ follow up to her acclaimed film debut in the Billie Holiday biopic Lady Sings The Blues, for which she earned an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress in a Leading Role.
This dramatic love story filmed in Chicago and Rome once again pairs Miss Ross with Billy Dee Williams, also her co-star in Lady Sings The Blues, as the Chicago politician who falls in love with her. Anthony Perkins portrays a fashion photographer who masterminds, then tries to sabotage Mahogany’s career. The film received an Oscar® nomination for Best Music, Original Song for “Theme from Mahogany (Do You Know Where You’re Going To?),” which also became a #1 hit.
MAHOGANY The Couture Edition DVD sports eye-catching, retro packaging and celebrates the film’s indelible influence on fashion with collectible fashion prints of design sketches and many of the iconic and groundbreaking looks worn by Diana Ross in the film (available for a limited time only). The DVD also includes a photo gallery of images of the fashions showcased in the film. The DVD is available for the suggested retail price of just $14.99.
