“I was just praying that everyone would be able to really soak it in,” he said, near tears. “I sense great compassion with him.”

3. It was 1940s America, and the enduring image of a rugged horseman swaggering across the western plains was about to get a sparkling makeover.
“‘Real men wear rhinestone' – that's what he always used to say,” Jamie Nudie, the granddaughter of tailor to the stars Nudie Cohn, remembers.
For more than four decades flamboyant designer Cohn, who died in 1984 aged 81, stitched his name into country and western clothing history. He dressed everyone from Ronald Reagan to John Wayne, and created the $10,000 gold lamé suit worn by Elvis Presley on the cover of his album “50,000 Elvis Fans Can't be Wrong.”
“He wanted to show that a western entertainer or a western horseman could be something out of the ordinary,” says Nudie, who changed her last name in honor of her famous grandfather.

Even as a young tailor's apprentice in New York, Cohn displayed a flair of his own and used it to create extravagant g-strings for the city's burlesque dancers.
He would also spend hours watching American westerns, and when he and wife Bobbi moved to Los Angeles in the early 1940s he turned his attention to western suits.
The couple launched Nudie's Rodeo Tailors from their garage. Within a decade they had a shop in North Hollywood, later attracting famous clients ranging from Dolly Parton to Elton John, the Beatles and the Rolling Stones.
