Mr. Richard Blackwell (his birth name is Richard Seltzer) is well known worldwide for his worst dressed lists issued annually. Mr. Blackwell`s annual lists of worst dressed actors, actresses and musicians are renowned all around the world. The outfits of dozens of famous Hollywood actresses, actors and singers become the objects of Mr. Blackwell`s ridicule. Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez, Mariah Carey, Lil` Kim, Dennis Rodman, Milton Berle, Elton John, Dustin Hoffman, and many others have already come across the critical eye of this self-appointed critic. Although the famous lists of worst dressed actors, actresses and musicians are issued
annually, it has been only nine times in over forty years that Mr. Blackwell has thrown a male into the list.
Thus, comedian actor Milton Berle who starred in "Over My Dead Body," "Rise and Shine," "Who's Minding the Mint," "The Bellboy," "Lepke," and "Seven in Darkness," has ranked #10 on Mr. Blackwell`s list of the worst dressed actors, musicians, actresses and politicians.

style, ranked #10 on the list in 1983.

Comedian cross dresser Dame Edna Evarage, who won the TONY in 2000 and figured out how to achieve success by being an obnoxious and loud character, won the tenth place on Mr. Blackwell`s list in 1991.
The king of all media, famous author, movie star and TV star Howard Stern, who also wrote two books "Miss America," and "Private Parts," soared to the first place of Mr. Blackwell`s list of worst dressed actors in 1995.
