Deborah Nadoolman Landis honored at Costume Designers Guild Awards
Costume designer and historian Deborah Nadoolman Landis has designed costumes for films like "Coming to America," "Raiders of the Lost Ark," and "Animal House."
When production of "Indiana Jones" first started, Steven Spielberg drew a stick figure of the character with a hat, jacket and bandolier of bullets. When the costume was finished, Spielberg said it was exactly what he had imagined. The costume is on view inside the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences' Hollywood Costume exhibition at the Wilshire May Company Building.
