Dorothea Holt Redmond (May 18, 1910 – February 27, 2009) was an illustrator and production designer noted for her work on Alfred Hitchcock films. Known as the first woman production designer, Redmond entered the industry in 1938. She worked on more than 30 films, including ''Gone with the Wind'' and ''The Ten Commandments'', as well as seven Hitchcock productions, among them ''Rebecca'', ''Rear Window'' and ''To Catch a Thief''. She was born in Los Angeles on May 18, 1910, to Mary and Harry Holt, who was a co-owner Western Lithograph Co. She attended the University of Southern California, where she studied architecture and was awarded a Bachelor of Fine Arts degree in 1933. She attended what is now the Art Center College of Design, and was awarded a degree in illustration in 1936, and later taught at the school.〔 ==Motion pictures== She was hired by Selznick International Pictures in 1938, making her what the ''Los Angeles Times'' reported that year as the first woman to work in the "heretofore exclusively male field" of motion-picture production design. Out of resentment, male co-workers demanded that she work in a walled-off area separated from theirs.〔 Tania Modleski, a professor of English at the University of Southern California, emphasized how Redmond was responsible for influencing the German Expressionist aesthetic that Hitchcock was credited with, and that Redmond was widely considered one of the most talented illustrators in the film industry.〔 Redmond's illustrations would be used by Hitchcock and his art directors to define the tone of a scene for cameramen and other crew members. The 2007 book ''Casting a Shadow'' described how her renderings of a sequence in Hitchcock's 1943 film ''Shadow of a Doubt'' were influential in adding suspense by adding an element of threat to a quiet town.〔 Redmond's daughter recounted how "She just loved his personality and his taste" and that Hitchcock was "one of her very favorite people to work with". In 2008, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presented an exhibit titled ''Casting a Shadow: Creating the Alfred Hitchcock Film'', that showed how Hitchcock worked with the other professionals on the set in his movie, with details of how he collaborated with Redmond on seven of his films such as the 1940 movie ''Rebecca'', 1954's ''Rear Window'' and the 1955 film ''To Catch a Thief''.〔 On January 31, 2016, Dorothea Holt Redmond will be inducted into the (Art Directors Guild Hall of Fame ) in a ceremony to take place at the 20th Annual Excellence in Production Design Awards at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Dorothea Holt Redmond」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
