Rosanna Norton, Oscar-Nominated Costume Designer of ‘Tron,’ ‘Carrie,’ Dies at 80


Rosanna Norton, who was Oscar-nominated for costume design for 1982's "Tron" and designed Sissy Spacek's iconic prom dress for "Carrie," died May 7.

Her early costume design credits include Terrence Malick’s “Badlands” and Brian de Palma’s “Carrie” and “Phantom of the Paradise.” “We had no money,” she recalled in a video interview about “Carrie.” She found many of the prom outfits in a store in the Valley that was going out of business, she said. But she had Carrie’s simple pale pink satin dress custom-made by a seamstress after changing the color from the original red in the book to create a more striking contrast with the blood that is splashed on Spacek.
