Award-winning costume designer for stage, film and television -- via the L.A. Times. Interesting sidebar -- a privileged youth, he summered in Austria in the 1930s. He saw the rise of Hitler, and out of conscience he raised $200,000 to help the Jews escape. Finally, he was caught organizing against the Nazis and thrown out of the country. An honorable man.
Thank you for choosing my late great uncle's obituary to post on your blog. Not only was he an honorable man, but a sophisticated gentlemen. A rare species today.
