.- Gene London was a storyteller first as the beloved host of a long-running children's-TV show in Philadelphia, then as curator of an astonishing collection of big-screen costumes worn by glamorous Golden Age idols. Among those whose dresses filled London's shining assemblage: Marilyn Monroe, Grace Kelly, Cyd Charisse, Joan Crawford. And on and on it went, a roll call as long as the guest list to party at Frank Sinatra's Farralone home; each one, a star who only grows bigger as the screens get smaller.
