Ursula Boschet, the owner of one of Hollywood's last costume shops, Ursula's Costumes, is closing her Santa Monica store after nearly half a century. Boschet cited financial difficulties, including an inability to pay rent and only being able to service the interest on a $100,000 loan, as reasons for the closure. The pandemic, runaway production, online shopping, and dual strikes last summer have significantly impacted the industry. Actress Kate Beckinsale expressed her heartbreak over the closure, noting her long relationship with Boschet.
