“Touch of Evil” art director Robert Clatworthy will be inducted posthumously into the Art Directors Guild Hall of Fame in February.
Clatworthy, who died in 1992 at the age of 80, worked at Paramount Pictures and later Universal. He was nominated for Oscars for Alfred Hitchcock’s “Psycho,” “That Touch of Mink,” “Inside Daisy Clover” and “Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner” and won an Academy Award for “Ship of Fools.”
Art Directors Guild Hall of Fame inductions are made posthumously. Chatworthy will be honored along with “Django Unchained” art director J. Michael Riva and “Casablanca” set decorator Harper Goff.
The trio will be formally inducted at the guild’s 18th Annual Production Design Awards ceremony, which will be held at the Beverly Hilton on Feb. 8.
The Art Directors Guild Film Society and The Hollywood Reporter paid tribute to Clatworthy in June at the Aero Theater.
