“Eddie Marks was Fan Number One for work well done by his Western team and the many 705 costumers & 892 costume designers who began their careers with him and continued on as customers. He had a true love for the aisles and aisles of Western’s costumes that fit the character, told the story and would live on the screen forever.”
