| I think you are being disrespectful. I think winning three Tony awards, an Oscar and having many more nominations makes him a one of the industry greats. I worked with him on two shows, he designed the set for one of them and the posters for both. He was a true artist and a great human being. I truly believe Broadway is a lesser place for his absence. Maybe his bio will convince you he was an important artist. Part of his bio: His illustrious career garnered Tony Awards for his scenic designs of the original Broadway productions of Pippin and The House of Blue Leaves as well as the 1992 revival of Guys and Dolls. He also garnered Tony nominations for his work on The Apple Tree, Chicago, A Day in Hollywood/A Night in the Ukraine, The Real Thing, The Front Page, Anything Goes, Lend Me a Tenor, Grand Hotel, The Will Rogers Follies, She Loves Me, Steel Pier and Uncle Vanya. He was elected to the Theater Hall of Fame in 1991. Among his 20 films, Mary Poppins, The Boy Friend, The Wiz and Murder on the Orient Express earned him five Academy Award nominations. He won the Oscar for his production design of Bob Fosse’s All That Jazz in 1980. He won an Emmy Award for the 1985 TV film version of Death of a Salesman, starring Dustin Hoffman, Kate Reid, John Malkovich and Stephen Lang. |
