In 1958, Production Designer Jan Scott, an ADG Lifetime Achievement Award
winner and Hall of Fame inductee, drew this atmospheric pencil and charcoal
sketch for the Hallmark Hall of Fame production of HANS BRINKER AND THE
SILVER SKATES. The primarily two-dimensional set of the Dutch river where
young Hans (played by Tab Hunter) skates for the chance to win the silver
skates was built on stage as a fully practical ice rink in NBC's Brooklyn studios.
Olympic gold medal skater Dick Button performed some of the more elaborate
ice choreography, and Ms. Scott received her third Emmy
®
nomination (of what
would eventually become twenty-nine).
