Answer 1

I researched the American costume designer, Deborah Nadoolman Landis.

Deborah Nadoolman was born on May 26, 1952. In 1975, she earned a Master of Fine Arts (MFA) degree in costume design when she graduated from UCLA. She completed her PhD from the Royal College of Art in London on the history of design in 2003.

She started her career as a costume designer with the director John Landis. She began a long-term collaboration with Landis, to whom she is married. She worked on several films directed by Landis such as The Kentucky Fried Movie (1977), Animal House (1978), and The Blues Brothers (1980). She has also worked on many movies directed by Steven Spielberg. One of her best-known designs is the costume that she created for Indiana Jones in Spielberg’s Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981). She has also worked on movies such as Mad City (1997) directed by Costa Gavras, and Crackers (1984) directed by Louis Malle.

Apart from designing costumes for movies, she has worked on music video productions and in theater. In theater, she has won awards for her costume design work in Dinner at Eight (1992), Turandot (1993), Gaslight (1995), The Waiting Room (1994), and Closer (2000). She created the well-known red costume that Michael Jackson wore in the music video Michael Jackson: Thriller (1983). This production won MTV’s first music video award.

Deborah Nadoolman Landis has edited and written several books about movie and theater costumes and how they have evolved over time. These include: Screencraft/Costume Design (2003), 50 Costumes/50 Designers: Concept to Character (2004), Dressed: A Century of Hollywood Costume Design (2007), Hollywood Costume (2012), FilmCraft: Costume Design (2012), and Hollywood Sketchbook: A Century of Costume Illustration (2012).
