Eric Winterling was raised in the suburbs of Philadelphia, where he began sewing at the age of 9. After watching his mother make clothes for his siblings, Eric was inspired to take up sewing, making clothes for himself and his sister, who was his first muse. After receiving his MFA in fine arts from Temple University, Eric began his career as the resident costume designer for the Houston Grand Opera. During his tenure with HGO, Eric realized that his greatest interest was the keen and astute interpretation of design renderings. This discovery focused Eric’s career trajectory on the construction of costumes. After a move to NYC, and a couple of valuable stints in other shops, Eric was able to realize his dream of opening his own studio. Eric founded his company, Eric Winterling, Inc., in 1990 and has never looked back. For the past three decades, he's used his depth and breadth of experience to continuously build and expand his full-service studio. Eric takes a holistic approach to costume creation: He believes, first and foremost, that costumes must stay true to and support the story being told. And because every project is different, Eric is committed to providing the resources, feedback and space necessary to bring the designer’s vision to life.

Born Robert Preston Meservey in the suburbs of Boston in 1918, Preston moved with his family to Los Angeles as a toddler. He caught the acting bug in high school and continued as an actor with a Shakespearean acting troupe and at the Pasadena Playhouse before being discovered by Paramount Studios in 1938 at the age of nineteen. The song “Seventy-Six Trombones” from The Music Man would forever link Robert Preston to the Broadway musical and the iconic 1962 film that would establish him as a Hollywood and Broadway star. His role as Harold Hill in The Music Man was a pivotal moment for the actor who appeared in dozens of films as well as theater and television productions. A master at shielding his private life, Robert Preston was a distinguished actor and gifted artist on the public stage, yet remained a reclusive, enigmatic man in his private life. Extensive archival research, and interviews Preston’s family members and fellow actors including Rosemary Harris, Christopher Walken, Lesley Ann Warren, Loretta Swit, Bob Gunton, Neva Small, and others, has unveiled a richly detailed portrait of the gifted actor’s personal life as well as an overview of the films and Broadway productions to which he lent his talent. REVIEWS "Debra Warren has written a fascinating and meticulous chronology of a heretofore enigmatic star – gregarious but intensely private, overachieving but underestimated, charismatic but modest, strategizing but sincere. Preston is now revealed in the full spectrum of his personality. Ms. Warren's passion for detail makes this biography as invaluable a reference as it is an enticing read.” - Ron Spivak, Musical Theater Historian

I consider myself enormously fortunate to have people in my life who share my enthusiasm and give me heartfelt support. But have also been people who don't do so. I recall moments when my encounters and conversations made me feel unworthy, stupid, unloved, offended, fearful, and even sick. We can call them energy vampires—the people who only “take” from you, and leave you feeling emotionally drained. Energy vampires can be your family, friends, clients, colleagues, teachers, neighbors, lovers, or even strangers. 'Ever feel drained after being around someone or in a certain environment? We'll candidly explore Energetic Vampires in the Let That Go! Show Sunday, October 2nd at 7pm EST. Happy October!!!!' Kassira McKee
