Anthea Sylbert, Costume Designer on ‘Chinatown,’ ‘Rosemary’s Baby’ and ‘Shampoo,’ Dies at 84
Anthea Sylbert, an Oscar-nomianted costume designer for "Chinatown," "Shampoo" and "Rosemary's Baby" and producer for Goldie Hawn, has died.
She also worked repeatedly with director Mike Nichols, both onscreen and onstage, and was Oscar-nominated for her costuming on period films “Chinatown” (1974) and “Julia” (1977). Assessing Sylbert’s work on “Chinatown,” GlamAmor, a website dedicated to the history of fashion in film, said in 2012: “Sylbert crafted clothes for Faye Dunaway that work within the warm palette of the film while also referencing noir predecessors like ‘Double Indemnity’ and ‘Mildred Pierce.’ She effectively brings both the highs and lows of 1930s style to life through each character’s costumes in the movie.” She had her bigscreen debut as a costume designer on Arthur Hiller’s contemporary comedy “The Tiger Makes Out,” starring Eli Wallach and Anne Jackson.
