His doubles partner in a tournament they had won introduced himself as the head of Paramount Pictures and offered Cassini a job as a costume designer at the Studio for $250 per week. His first film, I Wanted Wings (Paramount Pictures, 1941), not only launched his career but that of the film’s star, newcomer Veronica Lake. Cassini went on to dress most of the Studio’s fashionable leading ladies of the day including Rita Hayworth, Audrey Hepburn, Janet Leigh, Betty Grable, Jayne Mansfield, Lana Turner, and Gene Tierney. He was also known to date many of them, including Gene Tierney, whom he married in 1941 and divorced in 1947. He was madly in love with Grace Kelly, with whom he became engaged to before she left him for Prince Rainier. From there, he dated Marilyn Monroe, Anita Ekberg, and Ursula Andress, amongst others.
